Fiction Contest Time: My Adventure
Hello
heroes, time to tell me a story. A lot of events have happened
recently in the games story. The Leprechaun betrayed everyone and his
power was stolen by the Hooded Man. The Easter Bunny paid a visit to
BADGE and left a giant egg for the heroes to break. Don’t forget
that Cupid went insane and had to be calmed down before destroying
the world. As I said, lots of stuff. And, more is coming.
What
I want to know is, what was your hero doing during...

Heroes Rising Fiction: The Jinn Chapter 9
Chapter 9: The Obsidian Bottle
A
blazing bird landed in the center of Istanbul, flames spilled out
across the streets. At this late hour there were few people around,
so none were burned. The flames evaporated as the bird transformed
into a beautiful woman in a bright red kimono. Her delicate face held
a gentle smile as she walked toward the palace.
Two
guards met her with weapons drawn. “Announce yourself!” One
demanded.
“I
am the Lady Phoenix and I mean to enter this palace.”...

Heroes Rising Fiction: The Jinn Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Untold War
Two
months passed as the Ottoman Empire marched across Europe. Cities and
villages were sacked, legions of European warriors slaughtered by the
blades and guns of the Ottoman Empire. Hundreds of thousands of
soldiers poured across the landscape, breaking down walls and
destroying everything in their path. These Ottomans were unlike any
force seen in history, their blades blazed with magic, their eyes
were unyielding.
Rome
was ablaze, every precious remnant...

Heroes Rising Fiction: The Jinn Chapter 7
Chapter 7: Turning Point
1718 CE
Three
hundred years passed as the Ottoman Empire grew. Sultans came and
went, political rivals fought over the throne at times, and a few
usurped their fathers. Northern African came under the Ottoman flag,
as did much of what is called the Middle East. Soon, their eyes were
on Europe and they began to fight the kingdoms that dominated the
Eastern European front.
Through
all this, Jinn remained. Each new Sultan was introduced to the
magical advisor...

Heroes Rising Fiction: The Jinn Chapter 6
Chapter 6: Jadid
A man in dark robes rode the back of a stallion into the city of
Istanbul. He was not Arabian, his complexion was lighter and his long
hair gray. Over one eye was a patch. The people stared at him as he
passed. Guards were alert to his presence, but none stopped him.
Workings diligently rebuilt the city all around him as rubble was
carted away.
After
a long ride he came to the gates of the palace and dismounted his
steed. A guard approached him, weapon ready.
“Who
approaches...

Heroes Rising Fiction: The Jinn Chapter 5
Chapter 5: Growing Ambition
The
years passed as the armies of the Ottoman Empire captured more lands
and further diminished the power and size of the Byzantine Empire.
Bey Orhan Bin Osman led this expansion with great skill and
surprising success. No one in Bursa, outside of a single city guard,
had any idea who or what Jinn was. However, the sight of gaining
power seeped into the darker side of Jinn and he enjoyed his work
more and more with each passing victory.
On
a bright, sunny...

Chapter 4: A Taste of Victory
The
Bey Orhan sat on a rug in the general’s tent near Nicomedia. Two of
his generals sat with him while Jinn stood nearby, watching out of
the tent flap.
“Bey,
our scouts have spotted the enemy approaching from the Sea of
Marmara.” One general stated.
The
other, who was not present at the palace, said, “My men remain
stationed near Nicomedia. It remains a Byzantine stronghold, but we
will not allow them access to the rest of their empire.”
The
Bey...

Chapter 3: Bey Orhan Bin Osman
The palace rang with the stern voices of generals. Old men with long
beards and turbans stood around a table. The table held a map of the
world around this nation.
One
man angrily gestured toward the map, “It is not possible!”
“The
rest of Anatolia will fall to us, this I know.” Another man argued.
The
first huffed and answered, “By what providence do you know this?
They are strong and well-armed, we have failed again and again. To
keep up this campaign...

Chapter 2: Transformation
Ottoman Emirate: Near Bursa:
A
young man hollered and swatted a sheep with the end of a staff. It
bawled at him and then dashed to join the others on the hillside. The
boy, satisfied with his effort to contain his flock, joined them at
the top of the hill so he could keep watch. Contented with the
grazing going smoothly, he pulled out a scroll and unrolled it.
“Greetings.”
A voice startled the boy.
In
a swift motion, the boy stood up and swung his staff at...
