Don: Last time on the Ridonculous Race, the teams went to Flores, Indonesia. There were dragons, venom, great displays of courage, and a little bit of cuddling. The best friends, the bloggers, and the gym rats worked together in a masterful display of teamwork. Annie played Dr. Ruth to two Komodos, and Jordan and May got to spend some alone time together. The Ice Dancers failed to mess with the winning Goths and inadvertently saved the Julliard students and the siblings from elimination. Sadly, Owen and Noah were eliminated but hey, Noah got a kiss and Emma promised him a date. (Is seen at yesterday's chill zone) Today is a new day and any...

Wakfu Loyalties Chapter 06 Roll of the Dice The wind whipped past her and tugged on her clothes soon after the female Eliatrope appeared from the portal Kerubim opened to Ecaflipus. The yellow tinted light of the tunnel she fell through made way for the soothing color palette of a summer's dawn, though the sun was nowhere to be seen. All Alys saw after she dropped down from the massive portal gate and found herself in freefall, were large floating rocks and Ecaflip statues of various shapes and sizes littering the sky. The divine dimension of Ecaflip was unlike what she expected it to be. There was no solid land mass to be seen, not yet at...

Location:  ??? Like the cold blue forest that Parallel Woods had been found in, the second battle arena bore almost no resemblance to anything that had come before. A sinister red-orange sunset illuminated the atmosphere above, oppressively hanging over the ruined purple tower that sat atop the void of Another Dimension. And despite the clear skies, it felt like there was a storm on the horizon, just waiting to come and irrevocably ruin somebody’s day. The Star Allies stared warily at the dark violet smoke gathering in the middle of the air. The clump of smoke pulsated wildly, eventually splitting into two clouds which expanded at a startl...

       Max reached the zenith of his arc a full second and a half before I did, which was impressive for someone of his body type. He rotated a vertical 180° as terminal velocity set in, so he was looking up at me - Flapping like a downed mallard, mouth brimming with fluffy marshmallows, eyes so wide I could see the reflection of stars in his dark blue irises even without my glasses on - when we hit the spruce tree.       By some lucky shift of fate, Max’s flailing hand caught a firm hold among the leaves. I, with my arms tied straight against my sides, wasn’t nearly as fortunate. Needles stabbed my nose and slashed across my legs. Splinte...

I had never been a great student ...

Recap Lisia: Last time on the Ridiculous Race, the players had arrived in the mysterious and lovely land of Termina, with four different directions to go into to free the four giants that live in this land, wager on dogs at Romani Ranch's dog track, and answer a Keaton's trivia questions, which Tails had no relations to. Sadly, he and Sonic were the last to arrive to the Astral Observatory, but not before getting one last goodbye to Lucina who was thankful to have Sonic as a friend and the two were sure to see each other again someday. Oh, and the Mess Makers won. Forgot about that. End recap Lisia: And now, we have 11 teams remaining. Whi...

My name is Rebecca "Becky" Lillian Carter, and this is the account of what happened on the days of April 9 & 10. I have written this as a testimony to the criminal nature of one Marta Alfonsi, and her henchwoman Violet. This will be sealed and locked away in the event something should "happen" to me. There's a lot of power in a testimonial that decries activities of a criminal nature. I am writing this account in a narrative style, one day after it happened. ***The sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky, smiling down on the city of Manchester. A cool breeze kept sweating of any kind at bay, and some of the more thin-blooded pedestrians w...

 Celestia sat on her throne and let the warm rays of the sun shine on her face through the stained glass windows. It was all quiet in the throne room. She didn't have any visitors to attend to, no business to be done, just peace and quiet. She closed her eyes and smiled, unfurling her large, white wings. She knew the silence wasn't going to last though, for it was because of the silence that she heard the hard hoof steps of her sister coming from several chambers away long before she opened the large double doors leading into the throne room. “Good afternoon, sister. Are you finished with your work too?” she asked her dark-blue colored si...

Nafster lounged back on his couch, back slouched into it as a hand lazily held a remote as he flipped through the channels. There were a lot of boring things on the television, random animated shows, re-runs of old sitcoms, and classic movies being broadcast, but none of it was striking the snow leopard's fancy. The lack of anything popping up was starting to get to Nafster, his eyes starting to get more glossy as they were having struggles staying open as tiredness was creeping in."Hey, stay on that!" a familiar voice suddenly spoke from beside him when the television wound up on a documentary program about ducks."Gah!" Nafster was jolted...

They were transported to the front of the Empire State building, where the president was supposed to be a guest at a conference focusing on global warming and the effects it would have on the future of the planet. Loki found it quite poetic that a queen that could control lava would take the planet at this time. But as soon as they got there and Loki looked around, something felt off. The lights were all on in the city, despite Vara’s sword and all its effects. The city was given the appearance of functioning normally, but there were no people in the streets, or the buildings. Loki looked into the lobby of the building and saw that the des...

At the darkest room. Enlighten only by the faint glows emitted from the red candles that surround the whole room. A teenage boy, with good built and black hair, 15 years of age, begins to write inscription around the floor with black paint made from burned ashes. He opens a big book with thick red leather cover. With words of old English and Latin. He reads out the words out loudly. Within each words he incited, the inscriptions he wrote on the floor begins to glow. From black to glowing pink. An entity begins to appear out of circle, the wind spun violently around as it begins to take form from the shadows. It takes a form of a curvaceo...
