“Reya’s Disappearance” by Black Cat 🐈‍⬛

Author’s note: This story is a small part of the book I’ve been working on, Guardians of Legendaria. I wanted to share it here because I thought it was perfect for the prompt! I’m planning on publishing it once I finish it (which will probably be a long time from now lol), so as far as feedback goes, feel free to give me everything you’ve got! I’ll probably be posting more of these in the future, too. Enjoy!*****The city of Havencrest was a bright, beautiful place that bustled with activity....

Lesson 3: If There’s No Time to Plan, Improvise!The Blue Fish Diner is a small fast-food restaurant in the middle of the city—the perfect place for a group of student superheroes to get together and plan how to defeat an evil librarian without drawing any attention from said librarian.If only they would all show up.My tail twitches as I glance around. We Creature Kids agreed earlier to meet here to plan what to do about the Lexicona issue, but so far only me and Dog Girl are here. “Where

Lesson 2: Join Forces with Other Heroes“You two are back a bit early,” our Villainology teacher, Porcupine—named for the retractable porcupine quills covering most of her body—remarks as Dog Girl and I burst into her classroom at Spark Hero Academy. “How did your practice stakeout assignment go?”“Actually, that ‘practice’ turned out to be for real,” Dog Girl says. “That’s what we came here to tell you.”I get right to the point. “What she’s trying to say is, while we were at the library, we met t...

“The Clan (Cryptogriff Chronicles Pt. 4)” by Black Cat 🐈‍⬛

“So, where exactly are we going?” I ask Astri as she soars high above the realm of Tyren with me riding on her back.Considering you have been living here for as long as you can remember, you may not like the answer, the griffin replies. I detect a hint of an amused tone in her mental voice.I sigh impatiently, my lips twitching as I fight off a smile. “Come on, just tell me.”All right, then. We are going to Valeron.“What?!”I knew you would not like it. “Please tell m...

“The Escape (Cryptogriff Chronicles Pt. 3)” by Black Cat 🐈‍⬛

I never thought there would come a time when I longed so badly for food and water. I never thought there would come a time when I longed to see the sun or breathe in the fresh air. But then again, I never thought I would refuse to kill a griffin in the Sun Festival battle and then be thrown into a pitch-black dungeon with that same griffin. But here I am.It feels like we've been in this prison for ages. I have no idea exactly how much time has passed, since this cell is completely dark. There are no windows to keep track of the sun...

Lesson 1: First of All, Don't Let Them Get Away!"Uuuggghhh. I still can't believe we're doing this," Avery groans loudly, tipping her chair back as far as she can without falling over. "I mean, out of all the places to choose to do a pretend stakeout, why did you have to pick the library?""Shh! Keep your voice down! You're going to get us in trouble!" I hiss.Even though they’re hidden under the hood of my sweatshirt, my triangular, furry black ears twitch as I hear the soun...

“The Prison (Cryptogriff Chronicles Pt. 2)” by Black Cat 🐈‍⬛

I raise my sword high. The griffin—the creature lying on the ground in front of me, offering no resistance as I’m about to kill her, even though she supposedly is somehow my mother—closes her eyes, bracing for the impact. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice the crowd leaning forward on their seats, seemingly holding their breath. But instead of slicing my sword through the griffin’s neck like everyone...

“The Battle (Cryptogriff Chronicles Pt. 1)” by Black Cat 🐈‍⬛

I am trapped here, alone, in this dark place. There are no windows, no entrance for light to shine through, no way to tell the passing of time. Every day has been the same, filled with long hours of nothing. Nothing to do. Nothing to see. Just darkness, and a cold stone floor.Where am I? How long have I been here? How did I get here? Am I awake or asleep? Alive or dead?I do not know. All I know is darkness, and nothing.I cannot get out. I tried everything. No matter how hard I flapped my...

“The Girl with the Squirrel” by Black Cat 🐈‍⬛

Submitted to Contest #78

“Penny? Penny! Penelope, where are you?” I called as I wandered through the house, looking for her. Where was that little rascal? I’d leave her alone for one minute and she’d scurry off somewhere. She’d better not be getting into trouble, wherever she was. That’s one thing she was good at. But I guess it’s only typical of her species, so what could you expect?I headed to the kitchen. “Mom, have you seen Penelope? I can’t find her anywhere.”My mother shook her head as she stirred a pot of spaghetti for dinner. “No, I...

It’s the middle of June. The temperature was supposed to be in the upper 80s all week. But instead it’s in the 20s. And it’s snowing.It’s not just a light flurry, either. I’m talking about a full-blown blizzard.And it’s all my fault.* * * * *The day after my thirteenth birthday started out as any other summer day. But that day turned out to be different. It was the day that I finally stood up to Elliot Blanson. It was the day I showed him that I, Sevastryn Viridian,...
