fantasy ideas for stories

A story about a dragon rider and a princess. The dragon rider is from a far - off land and is considered a barbarian by the princess's people. But when the princess is kidnapped by an evil force, the dragon rider comes to her rescue. During their journey back to the princess's kingdom, they start to develop feelings for each other. They face many obstacles like the prejudice of the court and the threats from the remaining forces of the kidnapper.

Imagine a story where a fairy princess is cursed to live in the human world. There, she meets a poor but kind-hearted artist. He sees the beauty in her even though she has lost her fairy powers. They start to fall in love as he helps her adapt to the human world. But the curse can only be broken if she finds true love in the human world and gets a kiss from her true love. However, an evil sorcerer also has his eyes on the fairy princess and tries to stop their love from blossoming.

One idea could be a world where magic is tied to emotions. For example, when a person is extremely happy, they can create beautiful, floating lights. A young girl discovers she has an unusual ability to control negative emotions like anger and turn them into a powerful force to fight against dark creatures that thrive on despair. She has to learn to balance her emotions to use this power effectively.

Dragonheart's Legacy. Dragons are a staple in fantasy. This title could be about a character who inherits the power or knowledge related to a dragon's heart. Maybe it gives them special abilities, or they have to protect it from those who would use it for evil.

The Realm of the Shadow Beasts. It creates an image of a dangerous and otherworldly place filled with menacing creatures, which can draw in readers who like a bit of darkness and danger in their fantasy.

One great name for a fantasy story city is 'Eldervale'. The word 'elder' often gives a sense of ancientness and wisdom, and 'vale' is a valley, so it can be a place full of old magic and hidden knowledge. Another is 'Crystalpeak'. A city on a peak made of crystal sounds very fantastical and can be a place where precious gems and powerful magic are found. And 'Mystralia' which just has a very otherworldly and magical sound to it, perfect for a far - flung fantasy land.

A fantasy story could be set in a world where dreams are a tangible reality. There are special hunters who go into people's nightmares to slay the monsters that lurk there. The main character is a young trainee hunter who accidentally enters the wrong nightmare and discovers a conspiracy that could destroy the balance between the dream world and the real world. So, they must fight against powerful dream entities to save both worlds.

In a fantasy world, a love story could be about a human and an elf. The human is a brave warrior on a quest, and the elf is a healer. They meet when the warrior is injured and the elf saves his life. The elf is initially hesitant to get involved with a human because of the differences in their lifespans, but their connection is too strong. They fall in love and must find a way to be together despite the challenges posed by their different races and the magical politics of the fantasy realm.

One idea could be a world where magic is powered by emotions. For example, a young girl discovers that her intense anger can create powerful but dangerous magic. She has to learn to control her emotions to master this magic and save her village from a dark force that feeds on chaotic magic.

In fantasy stories, 'Crystalpeak' can be a great town name. It gives the idea of a place built around or near a crystal - filled mountain peak, with all kinds of magical crystals and their associated powers. 'Mistvale' is another option. The mist adds an element of mystery and the 'vale' gives a sense of a valley - like setting, which could be home to all sorts of fantastical creatures. And 'Dragonspire' is a very evocative name for a town near a spire - like mountain where dragons might be found or have some connection to.
