I've got to say @yeszuzia is really putting a visual representation of this world together. Through her art, IFC is really becoming it's own! Awesome job to her! Please check her blog out and support her great work!
My Entry for Season 1: Round 16 (catch up round)
It's a brisk early morning in Cryptopia, the animals are singing and the trees are dancing. Stepping outside for his morning stroll, Iexplore followed by his prodigy took in all the positive energy ..."Best Day Yet!" iexplore thought. Along the way stopping by @bashadow's shop to thank him for bringing his attention to this world. After an enlightening exchange of words, they said their departures and iexplored and his prodigy headed down to the reflecting lake to find some inspiration for this round.
As they meditate together through the universes, they contemplate their recent travels. It brought iexplore to a spiritual center and gave him an idea! They both took a deep breath in and slowly released all that no longer serves them. Before they venture back to their lovely yurt, iexplore asks:
Do you still have those seeds @kryptocek so graciously offered us from his satoshi farm in the village?
Grabbing the satchel, he reaches in and pulls out 3 jelly bean size seeds.
Now, theses may look like any ordinary seed, but they are very magical. These become magical when they are planted but only after they take a drink from this reflecting lake.
Tossing the seeds into the lake iexplore's prodigy looked rather concerned.
Don't worry Son, these are not ours to find. Our new friends will find them. They will have to fish them out and plant them. And after planting them the magic begins! They will sprout, grow, and fruit exactly 1 SBD as their reward!
As the duo walked quietly back home...their hidden energy fields can be felt through the natural world. Iexplore leans in and whispers...
We are all one...
How to Plant the Magic Seed. (RULES)
The first 3 seeds recovered to do the following will receive 2 SBD each! See Edit
- Grab the seed - Resteem this Post
- Plant the Seed - Upvote this Post
- Plant Growth and Fruiting - Join IFC and tell them @iexplore sent you by entering in this Round 16 catch up!
EDIT: Shortly after the two were out of sight, Apolymask stood up from a nearby bench and with a kind gesture towards the lake, magically added he's own personally wealth from the vaults of the Digital Castle making each plant able to fruit 2 SBD each, one from each true leaf!
Good Luck Friends. Happy Planting! And remember the seeds will only grow and fruit if you take all the correct steps!

I can see that it is here at Steemit that the imagination of human beings can really get very far!
I loved this entry, it's really very interesting, you had a lot of creativity! Especially the @bashadow shop ahahah
I'll be watching your next entries!
Keep up the good work!
@t-miles Absolutely agreed! Thank you for your kind remarks on the entry! I see you have entered the IFC! Our world is now your world, Welcome!!
There is still time to enter this round 16 as well and collect one of the 3 magikal seeds and claim a reward of 2SBD! Best of luck in the contest! I look forward to meeting up with you in Cryptopia!
Wow bro I love the art work!!!!!!! Thank you very much it looks amazing!!!!!:)
Art is by the very talented @yeszuzia. Please head over to her blog and check out her other work, it's fantastic!
This was another really hard round to judge! All of the entries were great. And again amariespeaks was a close second for me.. She did a wonderful poem with a picture of hers that I vibed with a lot, however.. I think you creating your own side quest and using your own SBD to try to bring more people to the IFC is an awesome example to set and a thing to see.I want to encourage more people to create their own little quests AND also to role play like you were doing as well.. I love how kryptocek role plays and now to see you doing it as well, I think is super cool! That was another factor in my decision.. The role playing and story you created, how it was tied in with the hidden well and how you selflessly gave away to try to help and creatively created your own little quest. Excellent entry! I loved your first entry, and this one was superb as well. I vote for you. And.. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more from you in the future! Nice work! :D
It's an honor to get a judge's vote and to get one from the Quest Keeper, that's amazing! The judges do such a great job, and it must be getting tough because the entries are getting better and better! Keep up the good work and thank you for your vote and kind words sir.
It is a tough job. But well worth it in my opinion. :) And you're welcome. Credit where credit is due, thank you! For all the awesome work you do. ._.
I love your entry! I especially love the fact that you took t upon yourself to hold a contest to help out!
I have sent @treeplanter a little token of appreciation in your honor. Thank you for helping plant more trees!
Thank You! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I figured this was a perfect time to try and help out! Thanks for tree planters! Something this planet needs with all the deforestation going on! :(
Great entry. Stopped by here looking for inspiration, got motivation on top of that :0)
There’s gotta be something in my head about this occult thing, just need to find it...
Think I’ve found them...
(Just about to plant these )
Isn't it funny how this IFC is turning out? Even though it's a competition, IFC itself provides us with inspiration and motivation! I am happy you enjoyed the entry! Good luck!
Excellent entry iexplore! I love your role playing style, very similar to kryptoceks! But with your own unique spirit and personality! It's awesome to see another person getting into the RPG aspect of it. :)
Also.. I really applaud your entry and your efforts in this post, I think you did a great job summarizing things and presenting them and your side quest is a really neat idea too! I sent you 3SBD to match your offer and you can do whatever you want with it.
My only question is.. And I think I know the answer already. But.. What is the "occult" aspect of your entry? The magic seed story is an old occult story itself, so I think that may be your angle, or maybe it's that the seeds are "hidden" when planted?
I also saw you mention this part.
And a reflecting lake.. So.. There's a lot of occult stuff I could guess is being hinted at, though I just wanted to ask? Either way, love the post! Definitely looking forward to seeing more of your entries in the future! :D Especially if you're going to roleplay more like that. Oh also, I don't think you posted this in the official blog post round 16 thread in the comments section. That's an important part and it helps get your post seen by more people, especially the judges!
Thanks @apolymask! I got some inspiration after reading kryptocek's post! I was totally going to go a different way including the roleplaying, but as I was writing I just went with it. I think you nailed the aspects of the entry pretty well and then some...It's total up to the perspective of the reader and can't wait to see what every thinks. This was a fun round and really got me out of my comfort zone. I'm hoping the side quest brings more action to the IFC! Thanks for SBD match! If we see any of these seeds become their mature plant they will now fruit 2 SBD each! Thanks for the reminder..posted in the official blog!
You're welcome. Glad to see you got some inspiration from kryptocek. :) I hope it catches on and we see more and more people "role playing". :) I think it's cool! And adds to the world, for those who enjoy it anyways!
Glad to hear it got you out of your comfort zone as well, I hear that a lot! Which I think is good in the sense that it is helping people try and learn new things. :D
In regards to the magic seeds.. I'm guessing none of them sprouted yet? That's a bummer but kind of understandable since you don't have a lot of followers yet. I was thinking.. Maybe you could do it again in the future? I'm not sure how I could help, but I like the idea! Definitely got the gears turning a bit too. :) Thanks!
The magic beans will be in the reflecting lake until they are recovered! I will keep posting the magic bean story until they are planted. If anyone else wants to post about them until they are used feel free! :)
Word! Good to know.. Maybe I'll post your magic bean quest then sometime if it's alright with you!
Absolutely!
Cool, I really liked your entry and story, and the idea behind the seeds. That was awesome.
Thank you. The seeds bring a nice little magikal element and reward to the world I think. :)
Awesome post though @iexplore! I'm glad you brought your little prodigy along for the adventure.
Seems like you're well on your way for receiving 3 SBD for your growing the magic beans you received! Great initiative! :D
Thank you for giving me some inspiration from your past posts! We have much more of a story to tell, don't we?
Of course @iexplore. We're the pioneers of Cryptopia we're going to build this into a city that will be talked about for generations to come!
