I'm launching a solo write (my first one!) bc lately I've been having this urge to write but I can't find motivation to finish stories I start, so hopefully this will help keep me on track. Also, this is a fun idea, and I'm excited to share work with you guys, so hope people join! Please try to join by Aug 5, but once I get at least 5 charries (limit of 2 per person, AEs, OCs, and CBers invited.) I'll probably start, though I'm also going to be going on vacation soon so it might be a while. You can join at any time, but if you join later, you won't have as big a role probably.
Setup: The Wizarding School for Creatures of All Types, the acclaimed boarding school in the Kingdom of Myrth, is giving out scholarships for all users of magic to attend for one summer of education. Lots of young mages enter, but only a select few are chosen, and not only because of their magical skills. The lucky few pack their bags and set out for the school, which is located in the center of the kingdom. Little do they know that this summer will not only be filled with magic and learning, but also betrayal, danger, and adventure. No one is who they say they are, and trust should not be given out freely. What are the WSCAT's real motives for the contest? And is there such a thing as good/bad?

Opinion on royalty?: They're stuck-up little brats who get whatever they want--why does royalty even have to have that? If I ruled the country, I wouldn't care if I still lived in my one-room cottage. Oh wait. Assassins. Right. Still! I rest my case.
Student/Teacher: As he's schooled from home, his mother taught him everything he knows.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths: He's good with a bow and arrows, and is often saying witty things that throw people off guard. Weaknesses: Those incredible ghraybeh cookies his mother makes--and when people critique him. Also, he can't swordfight for the life of him.

(July 16, 2023 - 7:58 am)
Thanks everyone who's contributed so far!
@~amarillis~, I'm definitely trying ghraybeh cookies, they sound so good! And just confirming, so Sahir isn't a student or teacher at the school, he's just someone they meet along the way or could his mom be a teacher and he's just at school too? She could be the teacher of a special class or a guest speaker or something so she still has time to homeschool Sahir? Also, do you think it's ok if maybe he killed his father bc he used his power of scrying and saw that later on, his father might (unintentionally) do something terrible? And he feels guilty every since?
(July 16, 2023 - 12:26 pm)
Is it ok if I make Sahir's mom a guest speaker at the school?

I've decided to wait a bit longer to start the story so more people can join, but here's a prologue for anyone who wants it! Also, it may be crucial to the story (who knows, I'm making this up as I go, lol)... I'm open to any feedback!
Ok, the prologue's not coming up right now so I'll post it later.
And so here's a history of the Kingdom of Myrth!
The Kingdom of Myrth is a prosperous seaside town in the Laughter Region that bases much of its economy on fishing, trading, and boat building. Its Queen, Queen Pinnacle, is rumored to be a fair and wise ruler, but there are also rumors going around of her many dungeons used to torture those she does not like, whether for a just reason or not. It is home to the biggest Bibliography in the land of Juntex, and it's wide variety of books makes it one of the wisest cities in the world, with its residents well-versed in everything from farming to doll-making. However, it may be best known for its Majik, unlike any other, as one of Myrth's many notable acheivements is the prestigious Wizarding School for Creatures of All Types, otherwise known as WSCAT, recipient of many awards including the Belltower Award (given to schools with unmatched superiority in spatiotemperal achievements), the Wizhner Award (named after the famous astrologist Paige Wizhner, who discovered (almost) all there is to know about the Galaxy), and the Sandwich Award (for the best school cafeteria lunches in all education programs). WSCAT is a diverse school who does not discriminate against any for entrance. It, undoubtedly, has the fairest admission process of any of its realm, and hires only the finest teachers there are. Any student is lucky to be going there, it is a GOLDEN (Good Over Law, Decree, and Everything else with No exceptions ) School all right!
Gtg so I might edit some things later! Also, may not be finished yet...
(July 17, 2023 - 5:01 pm)
Ok, finishing the history!
When visiting Myrth, you may want to stop by it's sacred grove of trees near the Bay of Belluine, where it is said that you can hear fairies laughing like windchimes at certain parts of the day. Beware, though. This area is also prime hunting grounds for the local were-tribe, and on a full moon, you should stay clear of the grove altogether. In addition to this stand of trees, another great sightseeing destination is Jade Mountain, with a peak of 1,053.4 feet. This standalone mountain is a private ecological reserve, protected so wildlife can thrive there, but it is a popular destination for educational field trips, and a good majikal spot as the connection with nature is strong there. Myrth's wide range of what is best described of as "creatures" include (but is not limited to) were-animals and plants, kelpies, fairies, zaratans, fossas, civets, wampus cats, whales, and more. It's kingdom flag depicts a laughing bluebird, a symbol of joy and hope, which befits the Myrth motto: Choose to find joy in life wherever you go, as it will serve you much better than choosing to find misery. A famous Myrth dish is Small Joy Stew, filled with all your small favorite foods, comfort foods, and happy foods, while battling food waste in the process, leading to a more joyous life.
In conclusion, Myrth is a wonderful, bustling kingdom, home to majik and knowledge. It contains a diverse population of creatures, and has many wonderful sightseeing destinations. Its Queen is Queen Pinacle, and it's residents are determined to find the joy in life wherever they go.
