Chapter 1


EDIT: Edited because a huge chunk had been cut off on the earlier publication. Sorry!

CHAPTER 1

The sun had just risen and the whispers of a cold breeze were all that accompanied the faint sounds of the creatures that hid from the black cloud that had appeared over parts of Fantasia only days ago.

“Faster Archer, faster!” Gedeon cried out as he and his galloping horse raced to reach the Ivory tower in time.  Never since The Nothing had been defeated many years ago had residents of Fantasia been this fearful and shocked to see their beautiful world so dark and eerie.

Reaching for his trusty sword Gedeon dodged the giant hand that tried to grab him as he passed and turned the foggy path. Archer came to a complete stop. Thump - thump - thump were the sounds as the young boy was thrown from his horse several meters forward and rolling in the dirt, his black long wavy hair covered his face as he quickly stood up.

With sword in hand Gedeon looked on straight, his bright blue eyes locked on the shadowy figure which was hard to see through the thick fog.

Gedeon took a deep breath and looked up, his small stature was nothing compared to the tall and muscled troll which stood in front of him.

The young boy warrior swung his sword striking the troll’s arm but the thick armor protected it from harm. “Well if it isn’t the young warrior. Do you really think a child like you can save Fantasia?” The troll mocked as he returned a swing of his own sword. Gedeon quickly ducked and turned as the sword missed.

As the tall troll faced away from him for a second Gedoen saw his opportunity to strike. The boy raised his sword and swung it forward with as much force as he could possibly muster.

The troll screamed in pain as he fell on his side. Gedeon had stricken one of his legs tearing a huge chunk of flesh.

As the troll squirmed and rolled on the ground in pain the boy warrior stood over him, pointing his sword directly at him. “Never will Fantasia surrender to evil” With deep breaths between each word Gedeon then raised his sword one last time and then quickly pushed it right on the troll’s chest.

Gedeon sheathed his sword and adjusted his armor followed by whistling calling his horse.

Gedeon mounted and together with Archer they continued their race to the Ivory Tower where he was to report to the Childlike Empress.

Coming January 2018

Consuming everything it touches, and making everything good disappear, the Nothing returns in the form of a black cloud. Bad monsters are created from all good creatures, bent on destroying all good in Fantasia. Fantasia's only hope rests on human children to fight the Nothing.

This winter, join us on our biggest adventure yet to save Fantasia.

Summer 2017 Dates & FAQ's

It's that time of the year again when we get excited about camp! I cannot begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to this year's camp but at the same time I am scared a little. To ensure that everything goes smoothly here are some changes taking effect this year and of course what you all really want to know, the camp dates!

Camp Dates:

This year camp will take place from Saturday August 5th to Sunday August 13th.




Camp Sign Ups:

Now to the fun part, changes, info and faq's

Q. How many spots will be available?
A. At this time there are only 130 camper spots only.  This year there will be only 1 sim which allows us to have only 100 avatars so 130 plus volunteers is already cutting close. I will do everything I can to try to get a second sim and open more spots but at this time this is all I can commit to. 

Q. I can't be online for sign ups, can someone else sign me up?
A. Yes, however due to people abusing this last year the biggest change this year is that sign ups will be limited to one per avatar. This means that you can only sign yourself up or sign up a friend but not both. A parent or friend can sign you up but they will also be limited to one person so if you have siblings then they will need another parent or friend to sign them up.

Q. Why the limitation to the number of people we can sign up?
A. We tried to be very lenient in the past to ensure that as many people who want to attend camp can do so. Unfortunately because we are a FREE camp our kindness is sometimes abused and the few who did ruined it for the rest. Basically we had some people sign up multiple "friends" last year, we even had someone sign up 15 people who ended up not even going to camp. As space is very limited, it is very unfair for those who truly want to attend to not be able to acquire a spot because someone signed up a friend who is not even sure they want to go, people then get put on a wait list and end up missing the first day of camp because of those who signed up and didn't even go. I prefer that those who sign up are people who actually and truly want to be there. 

Q. I see this year the theme is Star Wars. I don't know anything about Star Wars so this camp isn't for me?
A. You don't need to be a Star Wars fan or even know a thing about Star Wars. The only story you need to know is the short one on our theme reveal video. Role play your way and make the story your own. As always there will also be other non theme camp things to do, fun events and everything so there will be plenty for you to have fun with.

Q. Will I need to wear Star Wars attire and a lightsaber?
A. No you won't. Although there are some star wars outfits out there for kids and I will see about getting those creators to place a vendor at camp you will not be required to wear any specific type of attire. You will be building your own lightsaber after completing quests and acquiring necessary materials during camp, no outside lightsabers will be allowed.

Q. I have more questions that were not answered, where can I go for more information?
A. Feel free to contact me Landon Edenbaum inworld or George Orellana on facebook. I am always happy to answer any questions. There will be more questions and answers added to this list if there are any.

See you all this summer!
