    I did the unthinkable.

    I knew that I would have to do it at some point.

    It was either that or killing her.

    Sparrow.

    We were spiralling, twisting turning, rolling in midair.

    She made me do it.

    Imprison Sparrow, daughter of Albatross, in a cage a mile underground where it is impossible to escape from. Make her comfortable. Kill her instantly if she finds a loophole in this spell. Give her food and water twice a day. Give her books and playthings to entertain herself. She will be unable to leave or use magic for all of eternity. I will be the only one able to free her. I have spoken. I Am. tears wre streaming down myface as I sealed her fate. The color drained from her face. she stared at me. we had stopped moving.

    "I pity you," she said. Then she vanished.

    I had destroyed my enemy.

    "This is what I do to all who stand in my way," I roared, so all could hear me. "You are gazing upon not only the most powerful wizard, but the only Dragon Lady. I stand unnoposed."
    Well, technically, I was floating.

    I stared as all the creatures, now restored to the ground, kneeled or bowed.

    I had created a monster. Myself.

    there was something terribally wrong with this world. It wasw overlapping with the real one. All my magic could not be used outside of this world. the creatures were entering the real world. I could not dtop them. they were gathering with one goal.

    To take the Human world for their own.

    Whose side was I on? The one where I would be ruler, or the one where I was a nobody?
    I can create a world, out of letters and words. I can make you believe something in a paragraph. I can make you love someone in a page. I can make you go places that don't exist in a book. That's all the magic I need. [url]http://melpomene.freeforums

      Folks,

      DD has been in touch with me about the fiction postings.

      While she very much appreciates the praise for the forums as a place more strongly oriented toward readers than usual, she's increasingly uneasy about the presence of any fan fiction here at all, whether YW-oriented or not. When such fiction is present on a site that she controls, it opens her up to some unfortunate legal implications.

      In particular, if DD should write something in the future that reminds some poster of something they've written, it would be entirely too easy for that person to sue her with the presumptive assumption that she had access to the material simply because it was posted here. I'm not saying that anyone here would do that. But some other time, some other person... it could happen.

      With regret, she's asked me to lock these threads down, and to ask the posters please to take the fiction elsewhere. After everyone has copied the material down to other formats, I'll be deleting the threads.

      Please expedite this, people, as DD will not be entering the forums again until I can tell her that the fiction's been removed.

      Thanks.
