New Beginnings

To me tomorrow is school. Back to homework, teachers, students, and learning. I don't hate school but I don't love it. The main reason is homework and (some) students are horribly mean. A new school year is also full of new beginnings. Its almost like your a chalkboard and your erased just to start getting wrote on again. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that adventure. I don't think I ever will be. The mix of emotions kills me but I have to ignore it. Each year makes me a better person. That's what I look forward to the most. Last year I learned to never give up hope, no matter how bad things may seem you'll always bounce back as long as you give yourself the chance to. "You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials."-Terra (Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep). I know that tonight when I go to bed I won't be able to sleep. Not because I'm scared but because I know that this year will change my life in some way. I may not know what that way may be but I won't go searching for it, I know it'll come to me. Never give up hope.

Winner of the Fairy Wing Contest!

Congratulations Alric Ravensinger for an amazing design! Here is the design and paragraph.

This is the Woodland Warrior outfit which is designed based off of Grizzleheim Warriors. I decided to go with a more rugid look for a few reasons. One we always have had the image of elves and fairies as divine beauty and power I wanted to show fairies can kick some tail too. What inspired this? Well actually a neat book series called Fablehaven the fairies there are typical in the sense of vanity and extreme beauty. But when there Queen calls to arms these fairies show their prowess in battle. The armor itself is made of precious Mithril while other parts such as the Pauldron and shirt are made or hand carved from sturdy wood. The sword is made of Iron, Leather. and Wood but don't let that deter you it's a dangerous weapon in the hands of a fairy. I opted for no boots or headdress the boots were simple this fairy flies into battle. The headdress well I believe most helmets are clunky and would obscure her vision. As for her pet I had intended to draw a Sprite pet (As seen in the game) but I thought that would take away from the main drawing itself so I gave her a Sprite pet but more in the likeness of a Will-O-Wisp. I hope you liked my design and best of luck to all the participants. 

Though Alric's design was not in game I never said it had to be ;). There was so many great entries that it was so hard choosing just one. I'd also like to give a surprise prize to the runner up which was Heather Raven! Here's her outfit and paragraph!

In autumn all the leaves are turning from deepest of greens to the vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange. It is the season of the harvest. Farmers are hurrying to get the crops in before the first frost. The harvest fairy and her frosty companion travel the countryside, enriching the harvest with the last beams of summer sun before dusting them with dewy frost. On her head she wears a wide brimmed hat to protect her from the sun, rain, and to keep her warm in the chilly dawn hours when she works. Her robe, with its slight cape, flutters in the breeze. The bright contrast is as striking as the turning colors on the trees. Sturdy boots keep her toes safe from the elements and the muddy fields when she tends the crops. A symbol of her magic—a gift from the harvest is always by her side, be it a bunch of grapes, a cornucopia of apples, or today an ear of corn. 

Heather will receive a Green Thumb Pack. Congrats to both wizards! See ya in the Spiral!

Shirataki Temple:Divide and Conquer

  Shirataki Temple is one of the most beautiful dungeons in the game and is a unique one too. "As you emerge from the dense bamboo forest you see a small lake with a quaint island in the middle, but above it lies a temple carved into a rock face from the purest jade in Mooshu. How could a place so beautiful and pure be the place of the Plague Oni? As you approach the temple you vow to make things right by defeating the monster, but Wave bringer has conjured up a force field of storm magic preventing you from advancing further. After a few quests you find the final task to destroy the force field, to purify four temples of Spirit, Earth, Air, and Fire." Now this is my favorite part. The cool thing about this dungeon is that its the only dungeon in the main storyline that allows you to separate from the group and take things upon your own hands to purify the temple. Since there are four temples that allows groups of four to tackle all the temples simultaneously. No other dungeon makes you do four different tasks where each can be completed by one person. When you separate it feels as if the entire group is counting on you to do your task. Which most try very hard to accomplish. I know the post didn't have too much relevance to anything but I just felt like sharing this with everyone. See ya in the Spiral!

Tiny Moodha, Mason in the Krokosphinx, and Story Discontinued

Hi wizards this morning new housing items came into the spiral! I'm not going to list them here, go log in and see them yourself. All of them are in the crowns shop.(Note that the Moodha statue is tiny!) Also I think I'm going to discontinue the story I had a great plan for it but I really couldn't organize a true plot for it. I'll just give you a quick peek at what the plot was. After dying the characters find themselves in the Spiral where they talk to Merle and Gamma and find out what school of magic they are. Suddenly they all wake up in a Hospital where they realize they almost died but Merle saved them, They eventually venture between the Spiral and Earth combating evil on both worlds. I really couldn't think of a good plot for a villain so we'll just stop the fan-fiction maybe I'll restart it sometime. Lastly Mason has made it to the Krokosphinx. When your playing a storm wizard everything seems to go a lot faster. I'm almost level 20 and I have some great gear for Mason when he finally reaches the level. (If your wondering about Cody since I haven't posted about him in about 8 months he's in the grand chasm, almost finished with it actually) See ya in the Spiral!

Little Delay

Sorry about not posting the chapters I'm really busy and as soon as everything gets back to normal(in a few days) then I'll post them. Thanks for understanding :)
See ya in the Spiral!

Guardians of the Spiral Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Wildfire- Jason raced through the forest avoiding the flames that engulfed the area. The fire seemed to leap at him like a Cougar attacking a Deer. All of it was spreading rapidly. What had started as a simple camping trip had turned into a nightmare. He and his parents had gone on a monthly camping trip in the Sierra Nevada mountains. He had gone out to look for some wood to burn a fire but out of nowhere smoke covered the area. He started running and had been running ever since. But then he suddenly stopped running. He had ran to the edge of a cliff and was cornered if he stayed the shock from the fire would probably tumble him off. Jason's mind raced, should he stand his ground or run straight into the brilliant orange flames that had covered the normally peaceful and quaint landscape. The fire was approaching fast and he had to act fast. So without thinking Jason ran away from the cliff straight into the flames.His body was overwhelmed with heat and there was no part that didn't ache. He was losing sense of where he was. His mind started going into shutdown mode he knew this was it there was no escape he was dying and there was no stopping the fire. He closed his eyes and prepared to die he hoped his family would be fine without him and as his last moments approached him he quickly smiled and then everything went black.
Chapter 2:Blizzard: Nicole huddled next to the run down shack it was too small to enter and it looked unstable anyway. Nicole was on a simple skiing trip with her school but then she and her friend had gotten lost on the mountain, A storm soon set in and they had to huddle next to this shack. Her friend Erin had gone to find help 2 days ago but she had never returned, it had now been 3 days alone in a blizzard with no food or water. Frostbite was slowly killing Nicole and the blizzard had no intention of stopping. She was persistent though, she would try to live as long as she could but she knew it couldn't be too much longer. Her heart was beating slower and slower by the second. Her fingers were purple and she was homesick. Her mother had advised her not to go on this trip, she had always been right why hadn't she realized that. Her body was slowly warming up which meant she had hypothermia too another problem. She knew her time was up she wanted to go and find Erin but she had no strength. The best thing she could was close her eyes fall asleep and hope for death. She pondered the thought for a few minutes as she constantly shivered. She finally laid back on the snow and closed her eyes for what would be the very last time.
I hope you guys like the story two more chapters tomorrow(Tempest,Earthquake) See ya in the Spiral!
