Looks good!

I did notice, though, that you switched from past to present tense at the start. Just something I'd suggest fixing 

Oh thank you! I did proofread this but I missed that. 
I’m glad you liked it.

D&D Intro!

The acquisitions department was famed through all the lands. It began long, long ago, and has since grown beyond all human imagining. Many dream of joining, but few succeed. You must be brave. You must be bold. You must be unafraid of creatures in the night. 

Those who pass the trials, and join this highly famed Department of the Archives make fortunes. But all will say that the true fortune is the adventure, the memories. The time a successful heist or sting was pulled, or even the times they drastically failed and the mission ended with them sprinting out of a hidden temple with demons close behind. 

Applying is easy. Joining is harder. Becoming a full member, trusted and honored? Well. There is a reason it is the smallest department in the Archives. Passing the tests are hard and painful at the least. Impossible and deadly at the worst. And so it leaves a choice. Apply, and join the world's elite? Or forgo that once-in-a-lifetime chance and live the rest of your life wondering if maybe you could have passed. 

It may be hard to believe, but some don't. When the invitation drops through the mail slot, some throw it away or even burn it, not wanting that kind of energy in their homes. But most shriek in delight, throw their hands in the air and dance for joy that out of all people in Leona they were chosen. 

The talk of what goes on inside the walls isn't strictly a secret, but most don't dare. Specu;ations and stories, yes. But true facts and accounts are nearly unlucky to be spoken aloud, if you aren't a part of it yourself. 

Ah but I am rambling. Forgive me, child. I am old and so this mind wanders. The Acquisitions job. Yes, yes. I was getting to that. Don't rush me.

Their job. Hmmm. Yes, well put simply their job is to collect more books for the Archives collection. It's not as easy as it sounds however, as most of the rarer volumes are quite difficult to acquire. Some were easy, found in old abandoned libraries and retrieved without trouble. But some were hidden in the depths of the mountains, booby trapped and warded by the oldest magics you can imagine with your young minds. Those missions are very rare, and most fall in between the two. 

Now I suppose you are wondering why I am telling you all this. Standing on the threshold of your front door and rambling. Apologies. Here. 

That letter is an acceptance letter from the Acquisitions Department. Congratulations. You made it in. I dearly hope you survive.

Yes but there was a threat of that, and implication. I didn’t say that “dark whimsy” is “horror” those are two different things.

Thank you. My best work is the endings, I believe.

All of my work is writing in preperation for the ending, which I believe is best if it really hits your emotional core hard.

Like, just cutting off after a lot of build up creates an open-ended and satisfying end,

Or implying a flatline while the character is lying in a hospital bed.

Been working great. 
 

NEW ENTRY!

This was me trying to come up with a world for my dnd stuff… I accidentally wrote a fairy tale. Whoops. 

Spoiler

The world was created by Moradin, Father god of creation. However magic always has a price, so as he completed his work, Moradin was split into 7 different shards of magic. 

Those shards fell to earth, and took root within 6 people, who rose as gods. 

Avandra, goddess of change and luck was the first. After her was Bahumat, god of justice and nobility. Third came the Twins, Corellenn and Iouna. Corellenn as the god of magic and artisans, Iouna the goddess of knowledge and memory. Soon after them came two more. Old Melora, goddess of the wild and the sea. And last was who we know as The Raven Queen, as her true name is lost to us now. 

The 7th shard that broke from Moradin was the last, and crumbled into dust as it fell. Thus came the sorcerers, with magic in their blood. So too came all other magical beings that walk this plane and the next. 

After each had ascended to godhood, The Six each created a book of tales and poems, respective to their art, and gifted it to the peoples to help them learn and thrive as they grew. 

It was named this 'The Collection' and it has helped the land much over time. You can often find a copy in the local village or inn, but slowly the originals were lost. Spread from one corner of this world to the other, they were hidden.

 

Until, many generations later, the temple priests all received the same message saying that if the books were not brought back together, and the 7th shard not reformed, all magic in the world will fall, disrupting its balance and causing it to be overrun with terror and chaos. The Six gifted a clue to start the people on their search, and so it began.

The king sent out his best warriors to collect the books, and over the course of 100 years, 4 of the 6 were found. But though many tried they could not crack the fifth clue - found in the fourth volume, as each clue before - and over time, as nothing happened to the world or its magic, the message, and its importance, faded, until it was little more than a fools tale. 

 

The exception to this was in The Archives. There, it was not forgotten, but remembered and passed down until the next book could be found. Thus came the Acquisitions Department's secret mission: find and complete The Collection. Many of them tried and failed over the years, but it was never forgotten. Their search remained, if progressing slowly. 

Until one Raelen Mistwalker had a new idea about the clue. He - a low-class scribes apprentice at the time - was chosen to lead the mission, and with the help of his team successfully retrieved the fifth volume of The Collection, along with the clue toward the sixth and final volume: The one that The Raven Queen had gifted. 

Over many other successful missions, Raelen became head of the Acquisitions Department, and has spent much of his time searching for the sixth book, along with his apprentice, Andry. They believed in the message, but were unsure how pressing the matter was, given that still nothing had happened to the gods, their power, or the world's magic and balance. This changed when the headmistress of the Archives felt her power as a sorceress failing. 

She called together a secret meeting that even the king did not know about, and together they decided that they needed a group of fresh minds to help find the book. They sent word that The Acquisitions Department was hiring to one end of the land to the other, and out of all the applicants who applied, only four were chosen. 

And so, our adventure begins.

DRAFT 1

The flames of the ceremonial fire roar high into the night sky. I am standing about fifteen feet away, as any closer makes my costume a bit stifling. I'd better save it for the ceremony, and I have to walk through it. Sometimes I wish I hadn't manifested as a fire elemental. Still, being a Witch? The pros far outweigh the cons. 

The rest of our Coven mills around, chatting before the formal ceremony. I'm nervouse, but not much. Its incredibly rare that the Magics would withdraw from a Witch during the ceremony. I've never seen it, and the stories say that it only happens to those with betrayal in their hearts. That is not me. Becoming a Witch has been my dream since I was four, which is when I manifested. I've traind for it ever since.

My best friends, Owen and Isabelle -Izzy- walk up to me. "You ready?" Owen asks through his mask. My ceremonial mask is writhing flames, engulfing my face and hair. Mine is all fire and light but Owens-

Darkness. His face looks like a void. No shape. Just a black oval. It hurts my eyes, trying to see past the dark to the face my brain is sure must be there. 

Izzy's mask on the other hand, is the complete opposite. Owens mask is dark, all consuming. Izzy's is. . . defining. Her face seems to glow from the firelight, and her wispy, almost non-existent mask makes her seem like a sprite. Never ending and ethreal. 

"Guys, your mask are amazing!" I say, awed. Izzy flushes. I don't know how Owen react bc I still can't see his face at all. "Thanks." Owen says. "Who knew being a Shadow Walker could be so fasionable?"

Izzy elbows him. "Ahem, fasionable  is standing right next too you. Healers are all the rage, it seems!"

Iz and Owen aren't siblings.Though with their black hair and seeming endless amount of arguing, they could be at first glance. But then you'd look closer, and see the flecks of gold in Izzy's purple eyes to Owens grey ones. 

Plus, they stand different. Owen is Built like a fighter, you can see it. Izzy is... more like a fairy. Which fits, given how they manifested. 

A 'Shadow Walker' is someone who can summon and manipulate shadows almost the same way I do fire. Except Owen can cloak other people in shadows. I... generally can't with fire. Unless they're a demon, that is. 

Izzy is a Healer. She can draw energy from plants- or spirits, if they're feeling nice- and her belt is always full of plants and spirit offerings. But not all the plants are for healing though. With the right touch, she can poison your blood, or slow your heart. You would never notice. Until it was too late. 

 

A bell sounds. Then-

"Welcome, initiates of the SIlver Coven. Tonight we welcome our initiates to begin the Witch Trials, so they may become full witches at last."

The speaker, a tall, older woman, steps forward. Her hair is curly and wild. Streaks of gray-silver run through it. Her brown skin glows in the firelight, and her eyes sparkle with mischeif and wisdom both. This is our leader. Avalera Moon. Her Branche is a Seer. She can read peoples potential and feel if they have evil in their hearts. You may get why she's in charge.

Ok this one didn’t come quite as naturally and this is only the first part I have typed, I have to type the rest (I write in notebooks) but it’ll come soon I think!! Thanks! Constructive criticism welcome, as always.

OOOH

Me like

Is very good, especially if I'm imagining the tune right

Send me a recording?

This is the only way my good songs get written. They just piece together in my head

Also very encouraging. 

Um. Maybe. I can't do mobile so that'd be hard. Lemme see.

That’s really cool, just context-wise. And it has a nice beat (at least in my head it does). 

Thank you!!

Yeah for some reason the only songs I can really write are either based off my past trauma, or dark fairytale-dystopian thing. *shrugs*
