The longest journey - Chapter four
Welcome, returning travellers and new adventurers, to an adventure unlike any other, Let’s continue our journey through your worlds (or start a new one) - but instead of just a short trip and a single destination, let’s visit a few more places through a series of monthly challenges. This is the fourth chapter already (just one more to go after this), so be sure to check out the other parts in the sidebar. So, to start with, lets go over the rules again for all those who don't know them yet!
Each month will have a new prompt for you, and while you can certainly connect all five of them to form a coherent story, you don’t have to! Single articles work just as well.
If you want to skip a month because the prompt isn’t to your liking, just wait a month and rejoin our journey at a later point.
Do I have to submit something for every prompt?
No, of course not. Participate in any of the five prompts that call to you. There’s no obligation to take part for every single one.
Can I use an article I wrote for worldember?
Yes, I fully intend you to! Combine as many challenges as you like - there's plenty going on right now.
Do I need to write prose/a specific template?
Not at all, you can choose any style or template as long as your submission fits the prompt.
How long does my article have to be?
You can submit art, maps,articles, even timelines if it fits. However, articles need to be at least 300 words long to be considered, but old, reworked articles can be submitted if they fit the prompt.
How much time do I have?
There are a total of 5 prompts over 5 months. The third chapter of this adventure will run from 7th December to 7th January. Submissions for the fourth prompt have to be entered within that timeframe to count.
How do I submit an article?
Simply comment with a link to your article
Are there rewards? Is this a judged challenge?
There will be badges for each completed prompt and there might be a special one for all the feral people that complete them all.
Each month will have a new prompt for you, and while you can certainly connect all five of them to form a coherent story, you don’t have to! Single articles work just as well.

Chapter Four
A chance encounter
This time, you'll get the December prompt, the fourth step of our journey - you can answer this prompt from the 7th December to 7th January to earn a badge:
Write about..
Something or someone you meet on your travels
Is it a friendly wanderer you meet on the road? A bandit? Is it a sphinx demanding you solve a riddle before you may pass or a rockstar on the way to a concert? A chance encounter between spaceships in the dark emptiness of space, a friend or enemy long lost...it could be one of these, but also something entirely else - what happens next is yours to tell. Whatever it is, write about it.
Let’s explore the wonders of your realms together, one story at a time.
Here are a few inspirational stories from me, but I hope you will find your own tale to tell:
The Vikramaditya, beaten and battered, slowly made its way out of the system, when suddei
As the sun began to rise, casting a golden glow over the cliffs, Tariq emerged from the treacherous pass. Before him, the pass gave way to an ocean of fire: a vast expanse of dunes, their crests bathed in the sun's first rays, stretching as far as the eye could see. Tariq, filled with a sense of wonder, jumped down from his camel and walked barefoot across the soft sand, leaving behind a trail of footprints that would soon be erased by the wind.
Catlyn wandered through the labyrinthine streets, a maze of neon-lit alleyways. Her eyes were drawn to the towering structure of chrome and iridescent glasst that pierced the skyline. The Grand Tower, lauded as one of the six new world wonders, soared towards the heavens, its iridescent skin shimmering under the city's perpetual twilight.
