The Fabulous Lives of the Unencumbered -- Luna

Every morning, they rose and shone. Well rested and revitalised as their bedchamber was designed to give them every ease. No matter which side they slid out on, a pair of slippers was placed just so to meet their bare feet. Their toilet seat is always warm. The light that enters their chambers is always at just the right levels. There's no mess. No clutter.

A traveler comes upon an incredible find, a Djinn’s bottle! The traveler eagerly rubs the enchanted vessel, only to discover that the bottle is empty.

Everyone knows Greatfather Langeven stops by every house with a child to deliver gifts on Midwinterfeast Eve. A lot of people had been learning that Kinderfreund and Helpmeet come for the Unwelcome children to gift them what they truly need.

Challenge #04909-M160: Treasure in Strange Places

An old treasure is found by a space salvager. A locked case full of old diaries, music boxes, books, and photos. And a letter that reads "This was my life among the stars. I lived happy here, I died of old age happy here. Solitary is not always lonely, and being with others TOO much is not always comfort." -- Anon Guest

Of all the places to practice magic, most mages recommend areas with an abundance of granite. It's hardy, resilient, and largely proof against most magics. It also makes an excellent scratching post for Dragons.

A dragon offers Bibrid, Wraithvine, and their friends a ride across a canyon. The price? The group has to groom their claws in return, which have gotten a bit overgrown. -- Anon Guest
