Strong and weak. In action - filled stories, the contrast between a physically strong character and a weak one can drive the plot. The strong character could be the protector or the bully, while the weak character might be the underdog trying to overcome their weakness.
Good and evil. In many stories, the struggle between good characters and evil ones forms the core conflict. For example, in fairy tales, the hero representing good often battles the villain representing evil.
One example is the story of 'Beauty and the Beast'. Belle is a kind, intelligent and beautiful young woman, while the Beast is initially rough, angry and cursed. But through their interactions, they fall in love. Another is 'Romeo and Juliet' in a way. The Montagues and Capulets are feuding families, but Romeo and Juliet from opposite sides are attracted to each other.
Another word could be "conte", which is a short fictional narrative. Also, "picaresque", which refers to a type of fiction that follows the adventures of a roguish hero, like "Don Quixote". Fiction can also be described as "fictitious narrative", which is a more formal way of saying it.
Sure. A story about a girl who discovers she is a descendant of a powerful dark faerie. She is hunted by the light faeries who fear her potential power. She has to embrace her dark heritage to survive and find a place where she can belong.
Sure. 'As the sun dipped below the horizon'. This gives a sense of time and can set a mood, perhaps a bit of melancholy or the start of something mysterious at twilight. 'Underneath the old oak tree' is a good one too. It focuses on a specific location and can make the reader curious about what might be associated with that tree, like a hidden treasure or a secret meeting place.
Another set of words could be 'horrific stories', 'blood - curdling stories' and 'petrifying stories'. 'Horrific stories' are extremely horrible and often involve graphic and disturbing content. 'Blood - curdling stories' are so scary that they make your blood seem to freeze in your veins, like a story of a vampire attack. 'Petrifying stories' can literally make you feel as if you are turning to stone from fear, such as a story about being trapped in a cave with a horde of deadly spiders.
There are also 'lullaby stories'. Lullaby stories often have a rhythm similar to lullabies, which helps create a calm and sleepy atmosphere for the listener. And 'goodnight stories' is another common name as they are typically told right before saying goodnight.
Scare - filled stories, fear - inducing stories.
Yes, there are also 'accomplishment legends'. Success epics are like grand and long - form stories of success, similar to how an epic in literature is a large - scale and heroic story. Attainment anecdotes are short and interesting stories about reaching a goal or achieving something. And accomplishment legends are stories that have a sort of legendary or heroic quality about the accomplishment, making them similar to success stories.
One example could be a story where angels with light halos are at war with demons with dark halos. The angels are fighting to protect the human world from the demons' evil plans. Another could be a story about a hero with a light halo who has to face a villain with a dark halo in a magical realm. The hero uses his light - related powers to defeat the villain's dark magic.
