                              He laughed. "That's against the law!"
                              "Oh. Of course."



                      Someone's been burning books, as if tensions weren't high enough between the factions. Will you be able to find the culprit?

                      The Twins are some of the most peculiar of Belmoor Archivists, often finishing each other's
                      sentences, having silent conversations across a library, and seemingly always in the correct
                      place at the precise time they need be there. They also have an unusual interest in the way
                      things have happened, or will happen. Or are happening.

                      Using one of the prompts below, write a myth, fairytale, or folklore for Sojourn. There is no
                      minimum requirement, but for the sake of time, let's try not to go over 10,000 words.

                      The Entrance Fee is
                      20K. Please send this to the shop mule

                        It was curious, really. When the darkness lifted, I saw myself, looking at myself, repeated, and
                        wondered if perhaps this is how man felt when he discovered God.


                        Sojourn has a bit of a hazy beginning, and because of this, there are many, many
                        myths revolving around its creation. Now, it's time for you to create your own. What might
                        you have heard in your travels around the desert? Was Sojourn created by a benevolent
                        omniscient force? Or perhaps it was grown from the ground like the seedling of a redwood.


                      o2. »
                        Faster and faster they went, like two kids seeing who could say the Pledge of
                        Allegiance faster, as all around them the silence began to sing with in-turned power; the
                        air shimmered and rang with force like a gong ringing backwards, soft at first, then louder,
                        though without sound, without breaking that silence- a hiss, a murmur, and outcry of
                        something about to happen, a shout of inner voices, a silent thunderclap. And the last
                        not-sound, so loud it unmade the world around them and struck them deaf and blind-"


                        With the loss of the Wells, many are heralding the end of days. How then, do you think it will end?
                        Will Sojourn witness a Rapture, or an untimely demise?


                      The following are inspiration prompts. Use them wisely.

                        Just moments ago, his bicycle had been in one piece. But that was before the
                        sirens. He had taken cover in time to prevent the Lights from claiming his life, but now he
                        can see that many were not so lucky. Newspaper pieces flutter down as snowflakes
                        in the August heat, what remains of his bicycle just a totaled mess of metal, rubber, and
                        paper at his feet. Brushing soot from his eyes, he just blurs his vision further with a mess
                        of tears and dust. It's unfortunate that, at the very moment that he stumbles back, the
                        ground beneath his feet begins to cave in accordingly, melting around his shoes
                        and ankles. As he plunges backwards, spiraling into oblivion, he sees the end of the world
                        in the flashes of blue and red lights.

                        The clock bells struck ten, eleven, twelve. They counted every hour, until the grimy
                        panes of my one small window turned from black to gray. Then guards came in.

                        They chained me at the ankles and chained me at the waist, and marched me through
                        the prison to a coach that waited by the door. I sat inside, behind barred windows,
                        and went riding out of Newgate, into the fog that was gathering again. It tumbled
                        from rooftops and flowed over walls, and we seemed to race it through the London
                        streets and across the Thames to Surrey.

                        We passed close to my old house, close to the churchyard where Kitty was buried, then
                        swung by the river at a place I knew well.
