Tess begins her dream sailing peacefully along a pristine coastline; it's not long before a storm approaches, capsizing her. Normally the dream would end there, but this is a dream unlike any other. When she wakes up, she's still in her dream and discovers that here, her sign language has power. Back in reality, college-student Tess faces another storm; death, and the debris it leaves in its wake. Tess's Aunt Valentine, the woman who taught her ASL and practically raised her, is dying and treatment isn't working. On top of this, Tess is finishing her degree in English with hopes to make her mark on the world through her poetry. Oh yeah, and she's working in an art gallery for a family friend, Alice, preparing a new exhibit featuring the invisible beauty of trees. It's a hectic life to balance. And now, she keeps having the same dream in a living world. Every night she returns to find the world changed, whether its creatures of her subconscious she calls Tones or an oddly intuitive boy who claims to be her guide. Then there's the monster her Tones call Amiko who seems to want her dead. Tess is starting to think this could be a nightmare instead. As she dives further into the dream, she loses her grip on reality. She can do anything, conquer it all, but can she find a way to save her aunt?

The Ardent and The Bard by smzipp
21 parts Complete
Ever wonder where your dreams go when you wake? Imagine if they drifted off, coalescing with the dreams of others to create a constantly shifting realm of imagination and memories. That is the realm that Shade the Scarecrow and Cole the Wanderer set off to explore. What begins as a simple research expedition escalates into a fight for survival and revelation. ---------------------------------- This is a work based on a D&D campaign I ran with my friends for 4 years (though it is not a "campaign journal"). It's part of a series of novellas I wrote for my players to let them know what their characters are up to. Naturally this means that it was written with the intent that the reader was already familiar with the world. I have done my best to adapt the story for new readers and included footnotes for lore that does not outright speak for itself. If you enjoy this, consider going to my main blog (taleofchampions.wordpress.com) where you can read the appendices and see new chapters early. Thank you for your time. ~-~smzippyy
