Hey guys. I'm in a bit of a jam at the moment. About a month ago I was making more progress on my novel than I had in the previous six months combined. Then life threw a wrench in the works and I had to take care of a lot of stuff. Now that it's all more or less straightened out, I want to get back to writing. But sadly all that lovely momentum I had has completely evaporated. A friend suggested I work on some prompts and/or short stories to take a break from the heavy lifting and help build up steam, so that's what I'm doing.
So this is an open request to everyone on the forums: please, please, please give me some prompts to work with. Anything from one sentence to a short paragraph. If I think the result is good enough I may post it in the showcase, but no promises. I'm pretty finicky about what I release publicly. However, I'll definitely send you the story inspired by your prompt if you're interested in reading and/or critiquing it. All suggestions will be accepted.
There are only three rules:
Many thanks in advance to those who decide to help me out.

There are only three rules:
- It has to be fantasy. However, what counts as fantasy is a very subjective thing so I'll try to be open-minded about what fits.
- Nothing involving elements from established universes, historical figures, revisionist fairy tales, or real-world settings.
- Please nothing involving super-common "standard fantasy" creatures (elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.) or any variants thereof. Except dragons. I will accept dragons.
Many thanks in advance to those who decide to help me out.
