This is where I'm gonna try my hand at writing a Keep Story!

I'm much more used to drawing then I am at writing so...yea.

I have not tried writing in a very long time so I might be a little rusty on grammar or sentence structure. Like overusing commas and such I tend to do that. So if you could help me out that would be much appreciated! Also, I used to write using a lot of dialouge but I never noticed it XD My friends did.

Also, if my story in ANY way resembles something on someone else's I'm sorry I do not read everyone's keep stories on here. I'll admit, I was sort of afraid to start my own because of this. o-o'

Info about my previous story (unrelated to here ;p)
Spoiler
You see I wrote a story all throughout high school. 4 years. Seven 120 page notebooks full with a eighth halfway. over 900 pages filled with a story! It took place over like 10 years if I remember correctly. Then after I graduated I moved. My sister helped us. On the way to our new place there was a rain storm. The box that had my notebooks in it was drenched by the time we got to the new place. Everything was ruined. So yea that basically dragged me down to a non writing mood ._.
But I will give it a try again :) This place is very awesome and I love how many different possibilities there are. <3
Also, I love other stories and would love to incorporate other characters in it! So if you have ideas or ever want to do a cross over with stories it sounds like a fun idea! I'll just have to read your story too before I do try :) Just PM me about it.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Well here's some starter info on the story I'm beginning. I only have like 2 paragraphs typed so far but I've thought about it for a while its still in the early stages :P

I have absolutely no plot yet...I guess I'm just writing as I go along.

Setting-
Spoiler
Emerald Valley is a secluded little oasis meadow surrounded on all sides its like in the very center of the Alasre Mountain Range. It has a pond and a small stream that runs through the meadow. Emerald Keep has a small cabin with a large old wooden barn off to the side. There are also a lot of caves at the base of the mountains that creatures live in. A LOT of gryphons reside at the keep and around it as well.
Here's a little drawing I tried to do, I'm not used to drawing landscapes.

Some of the characters- I will probably add more detail later.

(The creatures I use are actual ones I have in my keep on this site)

Kira
Spoiler
is the only human (well mostly) resident of Emerald Keep. She is a wind magi but also can control a small bit of fire magic. Her hair is a bright orange/red and is long. Her favorite color is green.
--Invisible Ink spoiler!--(highlight below if you really must know lol that rhymes).
She has a dragon form. A special breed of creature called Xiau Dragons. In this form she has a lot more control over fire. She can also fly and can understand most of her creature companions clearly. She only has the ability to transform though if she is wearing her necklace which she usually does not wear and keeps it hidden away safely. The pendant is shaped just like her ears in her dragon form.
-If you remember the dragon in my avatar most of the time, that's her dragon form :P I will post a picture once it is somehow revealed in the story...I'm not sure when. My story is still being written lol

Sir Fluffmeister (Fluffy)
Spoiler
Is Kira's closest companion along with Bruno the Basilisk. He's a golden gryphon with fluffy creamy yellow feathers. He has deep purple eyes and very sharp claws. His mate is Lady Fluff another golden gryphon. They share a very close bond and spend a lot of time keeping watch after the numerous gryphon hatchlings that live around the keep. They often have a little one of their own running around with them.
Fluffy usually accompanies Kira on her journeys.

Bruno
Spoiler
Is a Light Basilisk, one of three that reside at the keep. He has pink scales and little wings just like any normal basilisk :3 His mate is Bacilia she is also a light basilisk. They live inside the cabin with Kira. Fluffy and Bruno both are jealous of each other and fight for attention from Kira when she is on her quests :p But they get along well.
And this is all I have so far but I will add more later :) It will probably take me a bit to actually write this story. I am just reserving myself a spot in the Tea House. I hope this is allowed!

Feel free to post right now if you want. I don't mind ideas and ANY help would be nice! (Like perhaps a name for my 3rd new basilisk)

Thank you for reading! :wave:

Maybeh... I'm not really sure how he got that name myself! Just a product of my randomness XD That's a good idea...

By the way...I'm sure some of you have a Fluffenshire gryphon. They're Fluffy and Lady Fluff's lineage!
Me thinks I need to update the crest but I do like them in that one X3 They don't actually look like that it was just a cartoon I drew of them.
Here's the family! It's over 100 strong! family/1169 (I hope I"m allowed to post this here o-o')
