Short Story: Kingdom of Mavis-Daydreamer
minikoiwosaki

There once lived a girl who daydreamed to the point that she often fell into trouble. She would often walk into things and end up with all sorts of scrapes and bruises, sometimes even running into people. She loved to tell people about them and it wasn't long before they realized that some of her daydreams were actually visions and were coming true. They soon became to fear her and soon the only ones who would even speak to her were messengers from the king.

It was at such a time that the king's messenger's appeared to ask for her help in rescuing his sister. A monstrous beast had held her captive on a whim and no one had any inkling of where his lair could be. For the first time in her life, the little girl met people who came up with stories just like she did and she agreed to go with them for the sake of hearing these tales. She lead one after another to the dragon's lair until there were none left and she was once again all alone. She decided to disappear and went to live alone in the White forest where no humans dared enter.

Ten years passed before she met another person and it was another storyteller at that. The storyteller was named Aliya and she was shocked to hear the daydreamer she had heard of was then only a teenager and had been no more than five years when she had helped in the earlier rescue attempts of the king's sister. The daydreamer had been adamant that she would stop leading more people into the beast's lair but she soon warmed up to Aliya and the two became close. It was Aliya who decided that the daydreamer needed a real name and calling her simply by her title was not enough. She named her Kairi and continued to cajole her into leading her to the lair but their new friendship just further hardened Kairi's resolve to protect Aliya from the beast.

Aliya had made the journey in the company of a group of mercenaries and it was their leader, Elar, that finally came up with a plan. He suggested that if they wanted to rule out failure and convince the storyteller that they would succeed, they first had to figure out the beast's origins to figure out the secret to beating him. Kairi agreed to their plan and soon they prepared for another journey. Kairi had seen a vision of the beast's birthplace in the nearby kingdom of Aionnes and it was there that their search was to begin. A sorceress who had been travelling through the forest heard of their dilemma, offered to transport them directly to the kingdom's capital with a transportation circle and the band of heroes were able to spare themselves the hours of travel and soon arrived in the city. They set out on their search for knowledge and came to know the beast was called Kamatra, a seven headed wyvern that had been born in the previous millennium. They gathered more info until Kairi had a vision of a street performer who knew the secret of defeating the beast and it was with him, that they continued their journey and rescued the king's sister.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
