One idea is to have a fantasy story set in a world where dreams are a form of reality. The main character might be a dreamwalker, someone who can enter other people's dreams. They could be on a quest to find a cure for a plague that is affecting people in both the waking and dreaming worlds. Along the way, they encounter strange dream creatures, some friendly and some not. There could also be a group of dark mages who are using the plague to gain control over the dream realm, and the dreamwalker has to stop them.
Read other fantasy stories. They can inspire you with different settings, characters, and plot twists. For example, if you read about a dragon in one story, you could think about how to make your own version of a dragon, like a dragon made of ice or one that can speak in riddles.
One idea could be a story where the main character discovers a hidden magical world in their backyard. This world is filled with strange and wonderful creatures, like talking animals and floating plants. The character then embarks on a journey to find a way to bring some of this magic back to their own world to help their family and friends.
One plot idea could be that the mind control is accidental. Maybe the boyfriend discovers a strange artifact that, when he touches it, somehow links his mind to his girlfriend's and he has to figure out how to break the connection without harming her. Another idea is that an evil force is trying to use the girlfriend's mind to gain access to a powerful secret, and the boyfriend has to use his own mental powers to counteract the mind control and save her.
Here's an interesting one. Your teacher is a cursed knight. Long ago, they were cursed by an evil sorcerer and turned into a teacher as part of the punishment. In the fantasy story, the students find out about the curse and set out on a mission to break it. Along the way, they have to solve riddles left by the sorcerer and battle his minions to find the antidote to the curse.
One option could be to join them. Maybe it's just a friendly dance and by joining, you show that you trust your wife and friend. It could turn into a fun group dance and create a happy memory.
You could base your fantasy story on a world where different species co - exist. There are elves, dwarves, and humans. But there's a dark secret that divides them. Maybe a long - ago curse that makes them suspicious of each other. The story could follow a group of characters from each species who come together to uncover the truth about the curse and break it, bringing peace to their world.
Begin with a unique character. A young girl who can communicate with animals but is shunned by her village because of it. One day, a talking fox comes to her and tells her that she is the key to saving their enchanted forest from a dark force. This character's situation immediately draws the reader into the story and its fantasy elements.
One idea could be a power struggle between different magical races. For example, elves who have long been in control of a certain magical forest might face a challenge from a newly emerged race of dwarves who also want to harness the forest's magic. This could lead to battles, political intrigue, and a fight for the loyalty of other races in the fantasy world.
Fairy's Whisper. 'Fairy' brings to mind a small, magical creature, and 'whisper' gives a sense of secrecy. The story could revolve around a person who hears the fairy's whisper and is then led on a magical adventure.
