Daily 11/27/22: A goal and something good

My happiness today is finally seeing Dystopian as No. 1 on the leaderboard after about a week (I think) of Horror in first *shudders* anyway, that has caused me to have the goal of finishing the weekly quickly (5 more planets left!) and also finishing the daily. Another goal I have is to be able to finish a big project I have, as it's been on my back for a long time and how much I've been procrastinating is scaring me as I only have two more days. Yikes. One more thing that has caused me happiness in real life is that I've been doing really well overall and I hope to keep it up, (back to that schoolwork I go).

WEEKLY YAS SLAY FOR DYSTOPIAN FINISHED 11/27/22

Write 100 words
Once upon a time, long long ago, even longer than the first once upon a time to be told, before there was a once upon a time, there lived a tiny baby, born in the Spirex kingdom. With a tiny patch of brown hair and chocolatey skin, she was the most adorable thing her parents had ever seen. They named her Minia, after their resistance of themselves to finding happiness in the wretched cycle of life.
Her mother was a merchant while her father was a peasant. Both had little money and joy, but after finally finding someone to live their life with, they thought that everything was going to change.
Then came the Taking, the time when the emperor decreed that all young children that were perfectly healthy and content be rounded up to his castle to be trained in his army for the war against Beloin, a neighboring kingdom.
{Write about someone putting on a literal or metaphorical mask} (Horror)
The emperor of Spirex was a young person named Inui, who had recently taken charge of the rebellious kingdom. Refusing to show their identity, they always wear a mask in public, rumor has it that even when they are alone they don’t take it off. The emperor said that they have leverage over people if they don’t know their identity.
That being said, this also creates a metaphorical mask, the subjects of the kingdom don’t even know who the emperor is, and after almost two years of the time, the emperor still hasn’t revealed their voice.
The subjects didn’t understand this, but the emperor did pay his dues to the kingdom and everyone generally trusted them, no matter how they looked.
Even with his dark mask that made his face look like nothing, hidden beneath their ruby red cloak made out of perfect smooth silk, wearing nothing but leather shoes that did not reveal any part of their ankles or feet, same for any part of their body that would show something, it would be perfectly covered, somehow the emperor had the perfect fashion sense no matter how dire his clothing choice would be.
{Five Minute Sprint} (Adventure)
When every child was rounded up, the youngest like Minia was sent to immediately start learning their language Spirian and the basics of combat coordination and logic, once they turned three, they would start the serious physical training, sparing no one.
Her parents begged and pleaded for them to not take her, but it was useless, the emperor’s army would take what they needed and would take no mercy on anyone.
After a few years of training in the emperor’s castle, Minia, like the other children in the castle became highly intelligent and physically capable of almost anything. These children were called the Unknown, the ones that their parents would never see grow up, stuck in a castle, becoming more powerful every single day, one day they might even be better than the emperor, some people whispered.

{Your character stars literally or metaphorically sinking} (Thriller)
One day, during the regular training process, Minia was supposed to pass an obstacle course, the regular things like ropes and climbing courses, but there was something different about it. In the middle of the obstacle course was quicksand, and not any kind of quicksand, the magical kind that showed your true fears, only the best warriors would be able to pass. Minia was one of the few that got the chance to even try this, so she was alone here, unable to look to others for guidance.
Sighing, she placed her hands on the cold bars, swinging and ignoring the magical sounds of her pet peeves wrapping their arms around her and making her truly hear them. Her dark skin looked no different after the mud course, with tiny monsters sinking their teeth onto her ankles.
Finally, she reached the quicksand and took a deep breath. Placing her feet onto the squelchy muck, things flashed before her eyes. Things that she thought she’d never see again, thinking that she was too brave for them. Now they came to haunt her again. There was no signal of pain from her mouth or body, but her face showed the worst emotion someone could ever have, and her frame slowly got taken by the sand, covering her whole body, happy that they had caught their prey, and was ready to feast on her weakened soul, ready to-
Her instructor rushed to where she sunk, watching calmly as xe snapped xyr fingers and suddenly Minia was by xyr side. “I was expecting better from you Minia, you understand the only way to ever see your true family is to get into the Golden Guild, and that’s a selective group of only the best fifty warriors that will be the emperor’s right-hand in any important jobs,”
Minia lowered her head in shame. “I understand Alvina, I’ll try harder the next time,”
{Timeline change} (Fan-fi)
Thirteen Years Ago
“NO! My baby!” Minia’s mother screamed.
“Please, she’s just a child, you can’t possibly take her, what would you want, she can’t do anything for your * army?” Minia’s father was desperate. Minia was the only great thing in his life, besides his wife.
Minia, swaddled in her fluffy blanket woke up from her peaceful slumber and started bawling. Her eyes glinted in recognition and tried to reach her parents. The knight that was holding her pulled her back and doing that made her cry even more.
“The emperor has his reasons, and we are not to judge them. He needs all of the healthy babies, so he’ll get all of them. I understand your sadness, but this is just our duty to the kingdom, our role in building it into a better place, these children might even save the world one day, even if it is hard to foresee if your child will ever see you again, have hope,” the soldier was not a cruel man, he understood everyone’s pain, he was a father himself, and was lucky that his child already had a job. But he couldn’t do anything about it. Walking away from the child’s parents, he tickled the baby’s chin. The baby gurgled contently and looked admirably at the soldier. She had apparently decided that she liked this soldier.
“One day you’re going to hate me for carting you off, but what can we do?” The soldier sighed as he walked off. “The only thing we can do is pray for the children that have been taken,”
Present Day

{New supernatural celestial} (Dystopian)
As Minia walked into her room, her roommates were nowhere to be seen, so she took her shield out of the sheath and practiced some moves to help when they had their battle which was just in one month. Would she be able to do it?
She sighed and fell onto her bed, thinking about something more important. What she had seen when she was in the quicksand. Would she ever see her parents? Would she ever be free from the emperor and have a job and family like the people she saw out in the village, the real kingdom, where everyone was free, unlike her, maybe she would even stay in the castle forever, forced to work for the emperor.
“What are you doing?” A voice startled Minia from her thoughts. She looked around, trying to pinpoint where the sound was coming from.
“I’m over here!” Minia turned backward and found herself facing a girl with a bob of white hair, an ethereal outfit, silver eyes, and barefoot feet crouching awkwardly under the bed, trying not to hit her head
The girl was unlike anything Minia had ever seen. Unlike the regular villagers and children, Minia was used to, this girl was completely clean and had unblemished skin. Minia, on the other hand, had so many scars from battle training and fights that she couldn’t keep count of them. The girl’s outfit was so fancy, Minia tried her best not to be jealous.
After a while of staring at each other, the girl grabbed her hand and waited, like there was something that was supposed to happen. Nothing happened.
Minia was just about to open her mouth when the girl slapped her wrist, hard. Minia winced internally at the red mark it made on the girl’s hand. “I just can’t get this to work,” the girl said, clearly frustrated. “Let me-” she squeezed Minia’s hand tightly and concentrated. Finally, a zap of light appeared and Minia blacked out.
{Taylor Swift's song sprint uwu} (Folklore)
Minia awoke to water dripping from her face. She quickly stood up, ready to find that girl, capture her with the rope she had in her pockets and make her tell Minia how to go home. She already made a giant mistake, Alvina would be so disappointed. Why hadn’t she attacked the girl earlier? She was probably in too much shock to even do anything.
Well, there are no excuses for what happened, I did something wrong, and I have to fix it.
“Hey, I know that what happened was super weird, I would pass out, but you need to hear me out. I need your help,” the girl appeared in front of Minia.
“Why should I trust you?” Minia spat out, gritting her teeth. “You literally kidnapped me to this realm-” she gestured around at the blank white space. “Where there is nothing! Is this where you live? Why do you want me?”
{Someone who bakes is in the story now :bread:} (Naan-fi)
The girl closed her beautiful eyes and sighed. “I bake,”
Minia was in shock. It wasn’t unexpected for someone to bake, but to say it at this time?
“I come from a long line of celestials, we use magic for good and to keep the peace between humans, I was sent on a mission here, to make peace with Spirex and Beloin and I would prove my worth. I’m not a very good celestial, my magic is trash and my manners are even worse. If I don’t succeed here I’ll be stripped of my powers and sent to live as a lowly human,”
The audacity of this girl! She acts like I’m beneath her, but then she confides her secrets in me?
“What does this have to do with baking?” Minia asked.
The girl’s eyes opened up and they seemed to glitter as she talked. “My passion is baking, I want to become a universally loved baker, I’ll make treats laced with potions to cure the sick, and I’ll just bake for the not-so-lucky ones that need help, I want to make new recipes and have a traveling shop-”
“So where do I come in all of this?” Minia was impatient to get back to training. If she was stuck with this madwoman, who knows if she would be able to ever see her family, heck even the castle again.
{Sprint for 7 min} (Fantasy)
“Well, I was hiding in your emperor’s castle, trying to find a way to see how I could possibly make peace when I stumbled upon your room. Your bed seemed very comfy so I decided to take a break from it. Little did I know that it belonged to someone. I saw you and thought you might be able to help, so here you are!” The girl sighed, and looked at the white sky, shooting silver sparks out of her fingers, they fizzled like a tiny patch fire being put out by a giant bucketful of water. “As you can see, I’ll need a lot of help. Usually, celestials don’t need any help because of their powers, but I don’t have a lot,”
Decided that helping the girl was the only way out of this, even if the girl didn’t have a lot of powers, it was still better than none, which was what Minia had, and if she started attacking the girl, she might overpower Minia, and if by some chance she actually does beat the girl, she might even refuse to bring her back and they’d rot in this blank white world. “Alright, I’ll help you, but at least you could tell me your name, I’m Minia, and you are?”
“Angelica,” the girl immediately said. “But my family and friends call me Ang,”
“Well lucky for you, I’m not your friend,” Minia muttered. “We’re just acquaintances that need each other’s help to get out of their situations. So we might as well get started on how to make peace between the kingdoms. That way I wouldn’t need to fight that battle and I’ll also get home,”
{Write without mentioning any characters} (Script) (Just my luck they’re in the ‘white space’)
The white space, although to the naked eye seemed completely white, there were actually many secrets behind it. If someone looked closely at it, the white would fade into a mirage of colors, floating around, crackling, until it finally broke and the illusion came down.
The white space was unstable, no one knew if it was going to fall, or if it was going to see another day, that’s why no one would be there. The white space had a heart and soul of its own, it wasn’t alive, but it still had feelings. Sometimes the white would turn into silver, the one that wasn’t natural to nature, it felt manmade or magic. The white on the other hand was just- there. It didn’t look good, but it was something that everyone was used to seeing, unlike the silver or other colors the white space would emit.
The white space was a shape that moved and thrashed, it could turn into a solid cube, and sometimes its texture could feel like water, one touch and it would break. Sometimes it was a rectangle, sometimes it was a pyramid. It didn’t matter though, because it wouldn’t affect anything. If you tried without magic to escape the white space, it wouldn’t work, because the white space was made out of magic itself and would be impenetrable if you tried to leave. Only teleporting would work with this monster.
{Write something absurd} (Bi-Fi)
“If we’re going to work together, then I have to trust you with a secret,” Angelica told Minia.
“What is it?”
“Wellllllllllllll… Take off you. Gahhhh I don’t know how to say it!!! Just take off your skin please,”
Minia was confused. “My skin? There’s nothing beneath it, see?” Minia pinched and pulled her dark skin, showing that there was nothing under.
Angelica sighed. “I forgot I have to cast the revealing spell to show that… I really don’t want to do this, I might mess up!”
“Just get on with it! We don’t have all day,” Minia was getting really frustrated.
“Alright, alright,” Angelica touched Minia’s skin and started murmuring strange words that Minia didn’t understand.
As Angelica lifted her hand away from Minia’s skin, it started peeling away. Minia shrieked and jumped away from Angelica.
“What have you done!!!” Minia spat. “I didn’t come here for you to practice some witchery on me!!!” Soon all of her skin was gone and beneath that, unlike the regular blood and bones Minia was expecting, there was a furry hand. “What the”
Angelica sighed. “The first known celestial-created creatures, your kind to be exact, except you didn’t look like what you looked like earlier, you looked like this. You had a short tail, a completely furry body, and could use magic. As celestial beings value beauty, and you walking on two feet looking like a complete horror wasn’t the best, especially since you were breeding rapidly. The first celestial, not wanting to kill every single one of you, instead created coats for every human to wear, to protect the celestial from your ugliness. He still continues to create them to this day,”
“I just think I find this hard to believe,” Minia answered, still staring in shock at her arm.
{Write 5 minutes, if the number of words you wrote is less than your WPM x 5 then write for 10 more minutes} (Hi-fi)
“Well, we don’t have all day, so how about this? I’ll give you a mirror, I’ll fix you, and then I’ll tell you how to make peace between the kingdoms. It’s actually quite easy, I just don’t think I’ll be able to do that,” Angelica snapped her fingers and a silver mirror appeared.
Angelica gave the mirror to Minia who perhaps was even more shocked at her reflection than her body. With brown furry hair everywhere and monstrous teeth, she looked exactly like the beasts in fairytales.
“Change me back now!” Minia demanded.
“It’s not exactly changing, I just need to get that-” Angelica pointed to the rubberish costume of skin on the floor. “Onto you,” she concentrated and started murmuring strange words again, but nothing happened. “Aw shucks, I’m so dumb,” she hit her forehead with a fist. “I forgot that only the first celestial being can make you guys wear these things.
“Then we should go find him! What are you waiting for?” Minia asked.
“The thing is, the celestial being only appears once a month, even for family. He just visited a week ago, so there are still three weeks left until he comes again, we can’t wait for that to happen, we have to first go on with the plan,”
Minia was upset. What had she done to earn this? It was obvious that it was Angelica’s fault that this had happened. She didn’t deserve this, but she was gullible enough to trust Angelica with magic when Angelica herself had specifically said that she wasn’t good at it. No matter how much she wanted to say it was Angelica’s problem that they were in this situation, it truly was her.
{Epiphany time!} (Mystery)
Then Minia realized something. Why would Angelica be bad at magic? Even if she was, she wouldn’t be able to send Minia and herself here. Minia had finally recognized the White Space. She’d only heard tales of it, but only the most powerful magical beings were able to first of all teleport, and only a select few teleports here. Angelica was no weak celestial, she was lying to Minia! “Angelica, you said that you were bad at magic, so how come you were able to come here?”
Angelica started to speak, but in a different voice, more distorted and dark. “So you’ve finally figured it out child, I am not some weak being, I just needed your help to take over the celestials, so I can rule without any opposition,”
“Why though?”
“That’s not something I need to answer, now that you’ve realized what happened, I don’t need you, I’ll just go find a more stupid little child, I knew that grabbing the first person I saw was foolish. But now, you can stay here while I have some fun,” Angelica cackled.
{Write about a character in isolation} (Poetry) Write at least 150 words
In a snap of fingers, Angelica was gone, leaving Minia and her thoughts to this place. Instead of just giving up, instead, Minia started thinking about everything she did wrong, and how she could get out of there.
As she replayed the scene in her head, the more frustrated she was with herself. Why couldn’t she have forced Angelica to bring her home? Why did she continue to stay with Angelica even when she literally ripped off her skin? Why did she have to rip off her skin to get her point through? It’s not like it did anything, Minia wasn’t one for beauty.
The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt, so she decided to put all her energy into finding a way out, but it seemed hopeless. The stories said that the White Space was impenetrable and you could not escape without someone who knew how to teleport out.
Minia decided to walk around the White Space, slowly realizing that there were barriers to it, it didn’t continue forever, which means she could just be trapped in a shape-shifting 3D shape! She just needed to find a way out.
{Build up to a happy scene-then a plot twist} (Real-fi)
A gust of wind sent Minia stumbling. Where was the wind coming from? Minia thought that if she found where the wind might be slipping through, there would be a weak spot in the White Space. After searching for a while, she finally found a crack in the wall. Without thinking, she slammed into the wall, again and again until the wall finally revealed a hole big enough for her to fit through.
Without even thinking about how she had possibly been able to break the unbreakable White Space, Minia raced out and started running, hoping that maybe she’d find the emperor’s castle.
All the scenery was recognizable, the cow pastures and the horses, Minia could even see the castle in the distance! She just needed to reach it-
“Foolish child,”
Minia stopped in her tracks, finding herself face-to-face again with Angelica.
“After all that you have endured, you still do not listen to your conscience? The White Space cannot be broken, it was I who allowed it, to see if you were stupid enough to do it, and it seems like you are. I do not know what to do with you, so I guess I’ll just curse you to become the stupid little monster you are,” and with a flick of Angelica’s hands, Minia had the sudden urge to cause discord and damage to the land. “Go my little pet, wreak havoc over everything you see,”
And with that, it sent Minia running eagerly to the town she was born in.
{Character gets Deja Vu} (Sci-fi)
Minia watched in horror as a part of her, a part that she never knew existed, start to eat helpless townspeople, but unable to hide what she was thinking. Serves them right for being able to live a life that I never could. Minia gasped, she shouldn’t do this, only the evilest would. But she had no control over her body anymore, she could only watch helplessly as everyone got destroyed.
This gave Minia a feeling that she had seen this before, once, maybe in a dream. She remembered everyone running away from her, her anger taking control of her own self, terrifying everyone, and even eating her own parents.
Her own parents! Minia gasped. If this was her dream come true, then her next stop would be her parent's cottage, which then she would proceed to set on fire, she would blame her parents for her perfect life unlived and finally eat them. Serves them right for not taking any action when I was taken.
Minia thought bitterly.
As she galloped to the house she’d never known, Minia knew it was fate. She couldn’t escape her stupidity and rash decisions, she had to pay the price. Maybe the world will be more forgiving after death.
Walking in, she saw her parents cradling a little baby, little peals of laughter erupted from it as her father tickled it. Minia felt a surge of anger. She lunged forward and swallowed the baby in one gulp.
Her parents gasped in shock. Their second baby had been eaten.
Minia looked down at the parents she never had and did the same thing she did to the baby. Then a bunch of townspeople came in, thrusting pitchforks and swords. Minia felt a pain in her back and everything went dark.
Write 100 words to conclude my adventure
Minia woke up falling, falling as she replayed memories, all the things she did wrong, all the things she did right before this had happened. Why did she deserve this? But then, the world is cruel and doesn’t care about what happens to every single human, and someone is going to have to suffer. Minia guessed the person who had to suffer was her.
That was fine now, she realized she could have done nothing to stop it from happening, and the only thing she hoped was for the world to take mercy on her and stop the suffering now. It was just hoped, in the darkness of evil.
