Kaleidoscope Realm
I love rainbows. They represent so many things for me. For one, they represent that each color—though they can shine by themselves—glow with an awe-inspiring vibe when they are all present together. For another, they represent the childlike hope that believes in unicorns and pots of gold that are to be found if only the […]
The Magic Behind the Magic
In my Realm there’s Magic and then there’s magic. The first Magic is what my Realm is based on and created with. It is the coin of power. It is a token by which people gain status. This Magic is tightly controlled by Ritual and Decorum. I, as Bard, also utilize this Magic, though I […]
Rainbow is the New Black
Rainbow, to me, is a color unto itself. Each of us is a spectrum of experiences, feelings, thoughts and style. These things are ever changing as we go through life. Sometimes, we are more frivolous in our attitudes. Other times, we are more focused and disciplined. The colors of our life wax and wane as […]
Thoughts on the Magic
I’ve written about the Magic before, but since it is the reason why the Creators Realm and the Icon Worlds exist, I thought I would add a few more thoughts for you to play with. I say thoughts instead of facts because I truly believe that the Magic, when you get down to it, is […]
The Magic
At first, when my sister, Poppy, and I discovered the Magic that allowed us to create little creatures, we weren’t really sure what we had gotten ourselves into or, for that matter, what exactly the Magic that we had invited into our lives was. Eventually though, as our number of creations multiplied, we started wondering […]
Discover Your Magic
We all have a magic inside us, one that is truly our own. This is our superpower, our change-the-world talent. Many times, we don’t recognize our own magic because we’re too busy trying to imitate the magic of others. Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in someone else’s story that we forget the work it […]
Summer Carnival
Cratersville held four carnivals during the year. Each carnival fell on the day-of-the-changing-season. My family never missed a carnival. When Poppy and I were younger we played the happy tourists, exploring various booths, rides and entertainment venues. It was at the summer carnival before seventh grade, our touristy ways gave way to participating in the […]
Soul Envoys
It was a warm August night, directly before the start of ninth grade. I was sitting on my bed, when I noticed a faint dusting of confetti landing on my pillow, the phantom remnants of another party that I had not been invited to. The source of the confetti were tiny, rainbow-winged Flitter Zings flirting […]
Migration
Butterflies don’t always know where they will go or how they will get there Sometimes the wind is against them Sometimes they have to take shelter against a storm Sometimes […]
Get Happy
Happiness is like an elusive butterfly. It is dreamt about, pursued, but rarely captured. Perhaps this is because, too often, people think of happiness as a possession—a thing to own. They think if they have the right stuff, take the right trips, have the right adventures that their life will be transformed into an existence […]
