(Will probably be updated sporadically, as I become inspired.)
Ribbon relaxed quietly at the Keep, happily scribbling down notes with a quill pen. She had no intent to go anywhere, and she liked it that way. She was very happy with her life; it was quiet, orderly, and nothing ever was out of place. Other magi had told her that adventures outside the Keep were incredible, and that rewards were everywhere. "Plus," they always told her, "you're a young Magi in the prime of life! You shouldn't sit around and let it go to waste!" However, no matter how many times they would chastise her for being reclusive, she wouldn't care, and would go right back to studying.
"Finally, that's done," she smiled, setting her quill pen back in an ink jar. "A full analysis of the herbs dwelling in the Jungle of Raza! One day I'm surely set to be famous, writing these informational papers." She looked over her writing and stood to stretch, afterwards sauntering to a window. She sighed. "Surely those other young Magi could be doing something more productive than putzing about..." She trailed off, her gaze turning to her overflowing bookshelf. "Ah, well. Let me see here, what should I write about next?" she questioned to herself, leafing through a large book. "Ooh! What about a study of the topography and climate of Arkene? Surely someone would find that fascinating."
But as Ribbon ruminated, a heavy book fell from an overweight shelf. It startled her, and she quickly looked up to see what it was. "Hmmm... I've never seen this book before... Is it even mine?" Ribbon said, raising an eyebrow. She carefully tiptoed over, picked up the dusty, heavy tome, and blew the dust off its cover. "The Creatures of the World? How peculiar," she whispered to herself. Carefully, she opened the book, and began to leaf through it, her eyes slowly widening in wonder as she looked through page after page at weird and wonderful creatures. "My goodness! And these creatures actually exist!" Ribbon exclaimed in excitement. "I know what I shall do! I shall study these wondrous creatures. And if I am this enthralled over studying and writing about them, perhaps others will be as enchanted about reading my papers!" Ribbon then danced happily back to her writing desk, opening the large book, and beginning to read.
"This shall be an exciting adventure for the mind," she said. But she didn't know of how much more of an adventure it would actually be.
