A letter from Rivulet Brook, #2

So with the blessing of my DM, I am going to be writing letters home from my D&D character Rivulet Brook. Here is the second one! You can read Rivulet's first letter here.

Dear Kyrie,

It feels as though I left Goa just yesterday and also ages ago. I hope to be back in Goa some day, but if not, I'm sure the gods will ensure that our paths cross once again.

I write to you from an oases in a dangerous place. I will tell you the story in full sometime, but I must get rest for I face a test of Melora tomorrow. Do not fear, I am also writing to Priestess Titalia as well.

I miss you dearly, but I also wanted to write to you about a group we encountered called The Children of Sunfire. Have you heard of them? They are followers of Pelor but there is a sinister edge to how their leader speaks especially in regards to burning. We traveled with them briefly and I fear they were lost in either a dust storm or to a gigantic creature. Yet I know their leader was magical so perhaps he, or others, survived. I guess I write to you about them as a warning to look out for them and maintain your faith as I know you do. I also fear that the devout Pelor follower traveling with me might be tempted by this sect, but he has proven himself many times so perhaps my fear is unfounded.

I do not mean to worry you, but I found myself thinking of you so I wanted to write to you while I had the chance to get a letter to you.

Sending me a letter back may prove tricky, but I do hope to make my way back to the Inhi Crossroads. You can try sending a response there as they should know me--my group and I helped save them from some mauraders but that is a story for another time--but I do not know when I will return to there, Goa, or anywhere.

Until our paths cross, may the gods bless you.

Love,

Rivulet

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
