A selection of short stories.
The kingdom was in a state of peaceful calm. The denizens of evil defeated to the point no one remembered the legends of old. Every day of every year the people lived their lives ignorant of the ancient ways. They were happy in their ignorance. No longer fearing the dark and deep places of the world. Only fairy tails remained telling tales of demons or worse. Kingdoms grew to sizes never before seen and the people were treated fairly by those in power. On the planet Europa warriors grew old and unchallenged. Thieves stole and magic atrophied to the point of being only useful to entertain large gatherings. Mystics and creatures of wonder vanished to the point of fantasy.
The Gods were forgotten from this planet. Science was taking root in the form of astronomy and steam power. Vessels called airships were replacing older sea faring vessels. Most of the kingdoms that currently existed were built either by using the stones of older castles or built on top of the ruins of the past. It is there that no one expected to be anything that would change the lives of everyone forever.
There was, and it did, it changed everything.
