Born from the Earth
TASKS:
Task 1 - Make a Plan
What ideas do you have? Think about organising them in some way so they create a coherent storyline (e.g. a synopsis, a timeline, etc). There are a few different structures you can use to help with planning, Freytag's Pyramid and The Hero's Journey being some of the more well-known ones, but you don't have to use those if you have another you think fits your storyline better.
[Word Count minimum: 400 words | Rewards: 2 HP]
COMPLETE
Task 2 - Create a Character/Setting
Who do you want to be in your story? Where do you want it to be set? You have a choice of either developing a character for your story or the setting of your story (or both if you can), but I'd like to see as much detail as possible for either. If you are creating a character, you can describe their appearance, their backstory, any strengths or weaknesses or character flaws, their motivations and maybe even why they are significant to the plot. If you are creating a setting, you can develop the area's history, describe its current appearance, mention any significant characters that are located there and again include the location's significance to the plot.
[Word Count minimum: 400 words for either character or setting (not both) | Rewards: 1 HP for 1 completed, 2 HP for both completed]
COMPLETE
Task 3 - Make a schedule
How often will you be able to work on your story? Set a daily/weekly goal to reach, and hopefully it can help to motivate you, or make it seem easier to complete 50,000 words in November. To reach 50,000 words, you will need to do at least 1670 words per day, or 12,500 words per week, but you are welcome to create a schedule that fits your availability.
[Optional]
If all tasks are completed, you can earn an extra 1 HP and 10 sickles.
COMPLETE
COMPLETED: 3/3

Prologue:
Lillian will be asleep in the middle of a dream. This dream will display visions and prophecies of this weird land called Fantasia. She has had many of these dreams before. They all started with the same thing, 'Once upon a time there was a magical land by the name of Fantasia.' and they all ended with the same thing 'We need to bring the land back or else the world will fall.' She then wakes up.Beginning:
Lillian wakes up and thinks about these strange dreams throughout the day. The story introduces Lillian and her mother also introducing the world they live in: Sciencia. Lillian then finds a note left on the windowsill of the classroom which is from this strange person called Mrs. Magician. She eventually decides to write a note back to them and is then sent into a spiraling adventure where she chooses to leave her old world to join this new world where she supposedly belongs.Middle:
Lillian learns more about what her dreams mean as she makes new friends and gets accepted into the Academy of Magical Arts. She learns that she is an elemental, one of the rare forms of magic. She and her friends learn about the prophecy crystals which give prophecies of fate. She and her friends go on a quest to find these crystals which leads them to what will cause the world to fall. The in-between monsters who they'd learned about before. The monsters created by the scientists and the creatures that caused the Great War. They learn that these creatures will escape from their prison on the next blue moon which is in 1 month and that the only hope they have is Lillian, as she is on of the scientist failed experiments. Later on, Lillian uncovers that they need the wand of light which was used to trap the monsters. She and her friends along with her go on a quest to retrieve it.End:
The quest ends up with them trapped in a cavern with no food and only one day until the monsters are set to attack. This is when Lillian realizes she has the power to feel and control the earth. From visions and dreams she learns how to do it and moves the earth so they are not trapped. They escape the cavern with the wand of light. When they appear from the cavern everything is chaos. The entire world is fighting. Lillian having no time to train with the wand is put straight into action. The war lasts for days and Lillian still has no idea how to use the wand. On the last day, the creatures are winning and the land has very little people able to fight. Lillian and her friends are one of them. Eventually, Lillian realizes that it is love and friendship that makes everything better and shines light into your world. That is how she makes the wand of light work with all of her friends together. Soon, they recover the land after defeating the creatures with the wand of light and Lillian and her friends go back to the Academy as heroes. They all live happily ever after, for now...
