The Squirrel and the Dragon: A Fantasy Short Story

Once upon a time, in a little cottage atop a tall tree in a little forest, there lived a little squirrel named Chestnut. Every morning, Chestnut loved to take her little basket and go on nature walks to collect little colorful flowers in the meadows. She would make bouquets and flower wreaths and sell them at the market square. But one day, when Chestnut went on a walk to collect more flowers, she found a big black hill blocking her way. The big black hill was very strange, because instead of being covered with green grass, it was covered in black scales that shimmered in the sunlight. Another strange thing about the big black hill was that it moved up and down, almost as if it were breathing. “I don’t know how this strange hill got here,” Chestnut said to herself. “But I’ll just climb over it.” Chestnut clambered up the big black hill.

Moodboards for Fantasy WIP

I made a few moodboards for a fantasy story I’m working on. The story is about a young girl named Shupikayi who runs away from home to escape her toxic family, and manages to find a new home beneath the sea where mermaids and strange sea creatures lurk. Just when she thinks she can finally live her life as a hermit forever, she is called to adventure and makes a couple of new friends along the way. I’ve written a few chapters so far, but I’m still trying to figure out what happens next. Writing the middle part of a story is a little difficult for me sometimes.

Anyway, here are the moodboards I made. All images used are from Canva.

Yevedzo moodboard: She is one of the antagonists in the story and a literal witch. She acts nice to her relatives and people in her church, but will not hesitate to talk behind their backs and throw them under the bus if she feels she can gain something from it. Though she uses dark magic, she enjoys and mostly relies on gossiping and lying to accomplish her goals. She desires power more than anything, and will do just about anything to get it. Those who see her for who she truly is call her a snake, but others refer to her as a crocodile who lurks in the water and waits for the right moment to strike her prey.
