VSS (Very Short Story) Fantasy prompts for October 2025 #vssfantasy #writingcommunity #prompts

Shouldn't peace last for an #eternity? No conflict, no dissension, or strife? All the resources spent could be used to make life better for everyone? The Queen sat on her throne on yet another peaceful day and she was bored. She hadn't counted on apathy. #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

The lord had his #citadel built high on the hill. The grand stone structure towered over the villages below. Anyone who approached the town could not miss it. The high gates protected it from the ones not privileged to live there. #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

The minor gods called an emergency council. The Council of #Titans, they dubbed themselves. Not the Council of Gods; they did not consider themselves all powerful. They were the ones who got things done. The ones who knew mortals, who were their allies. It was time for war. #vssfantasy #writing

The problem with #pacts was that they were still binding, even if the terms had changed. Would you honour an agreement that was no longer valid? That is why you never make one with a Fae, and certainly not one with the Fae Queen, no matter how kindly she looks. #vssfantasy #writing

A mortal with an #ascension into a god? The idea was preposterous. The wizards couldn't understand how such a thing was possible. One of their own, a *GOD*. They tried to replicate the ritual and paid for it with their lives. #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

A pale, beautiful rose with all of her #thorns removed. A shadow of her former self, broken and rebuilt into a minion. Her soul numbed, her fire extinguished. The prince stared at her in anguish, then at her father in rage. #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

#vssfantasy #BraveWrite Shock assailed me when i saw the Warrior in all their Regelia. The one leading the dragons was none other than my brother. When I asked why, he only replied that the dragons were more family than I could ever be. Hansuan_Fabregas pixabay.com

What if your #mirror showed you at your best? Another world where you made every good decision. Your face beams with happiness. You have enough, you are content, and every wish and desire is yours. It's seductive, isn't it? Wouldn't you want to be there? #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

#mirror #vssfantasy

I’m shooting through the sky, caught in a wind current. I couldn’t hear them— I wouldn’t want to. Still, I sing out— my swan song: That God is a soulful egomaniac. And we are the reflection— forever witnessing, forever interpreting, through a mirror. #VSSFantasy - Mirror #Poetry #Poem #SkyPoet

Wendy stood in the mirror. Casey glanced around the club, but no one noticed. She felt sick as she watched the girl slam into the mirror. The glass seemed to reverberate with the force. The mirror was left smeared with blood and glistening ectoplasm. #VssFantasy

The #warden never slept. He made his rounds at the same time, in the same halls, day after day. The prisoners whispered that he was some sort of demon or mystical construct. He radiated menace, power, dominance. He was there to do a job, not be liked. #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

The #veil between good and evil is a fragile thing. All it takes is one step backwards and sideways. One noble justification. You don't have to be in the Fae lands or a mystical kingdom. Some things transcend worlds. In some worlds, good fights back against evil. #vssfantasy #writing

Once a generation, the Mouse opens the Vault. From the #shadows, the old princesses emerge, to feed on the sweet gossamer dreams of youth. #Reinvigorated, they lay their eggs in the #immense depths of the collective unconscious. Sated, they sleep once more. For now. #vssfantasy #vss365 #InkMine

#vssfantasy #FairyTalePoets A strange bequest, I Inherited a Key, that went to no known lock. I kept The Golden Key out of sentimentality, but now everyone wants it. Offers to buy, offers to marry, attempts of theft, of harm. Now the mystery has me intrigued carmen6969 pixabay.com @fairytalepoets

#vssfantasy #VssMagic #vssfantasy I was a Stable Hand, stuck with mucking out the stalls. Maybe I'd advance to "Shepherd." But Rider? No. Still, I wished. I'm told I'm not cut out for Dragonfire. In the end, I wasn't. But the fire of a Phoenix, that I was made for! gnav pixabay.com

The prince lived in #exile from his own kingdom. Instead of wealthy trappings, he found himself comfortable in the home of a hunter. He learned how to live off the land. He made friends with the wildlife. He found happiness. He realized he didn't want to go back. #vssfantasy #writing

The despot wasn't satisfied. The king and queen were dead, but their son had escaped. Their #bloodline still existed. He wanted to wipe it from the face of the earth. The problem was finding this prince. He had a plan. #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

If you visit the sorceress's cave, count your #shadows. If you find an extra one, make sure that your sword is sharp and your fireball is prepared. Her rules state that you cannot attack it,unless it attacks you first. She's fine,only if it is in self defense. #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

Time flowed differently in the #Fey lands. Their people lived for many of our centuries, and because of that, they regarded our petty squabbles unimportant. It didn't mean THEY didn't have their own petty squabbles. A visit to their Court proved that. #vssfantasy #writing #writingcommunity

The legend said the #phoenix never dies. That wasn't completely true. At the end of its cycle, it builds a funeral pyre. A new life rises from the ashes, with all of its memories. Is it the same? Different? A meld of the two? If you asked it, it would say it didn't remember. #vssfantasy #writing

A #cursed family relic? It sounded like the start to every tragic story. IPassed down the generations, with death and sorrow in its wake. Attempts to break the curse, banish the relic, all the tropes. No one bothered to ask why. They feared the symptoms, but didn't know the cause. #vssfantasy

The evil lord locked his son up in the #citadel. It overlooked the ocean, on a high column of rock isolated from the shore. There was no way to escape, no help from the mainland. Of course, he didn't count on a pirate queen with a flying phoenix at her command. #vssfantasy #writing

No one questioned the #prophesy. A savior for all their problems, a solution for all their woes. Every hope pinned onto one tiny child, an almost mystical being. A nation filled with expectations. What happens when that child refuses to cooperate? And their destiny NOT what's expected? #vssfantasy

If I enter and the sky does not open, if the floor does not hum— check the wards. Check the sea. My coming should call thunder from the bones of the deep, low and god-made. Old as salt. Heavy as prophecy. If it is quiet, 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨. #VSSFantasy - Prophecy #Poetry #Poem #ThrowbackPoem
