I wanted to fight. So, I goaded her into making the first move.
It wasn’t hard considering I knew exactly what buttons to push. For all her aggression and angst, she wasn’t a complicated person. ”Not everything needs to end in a confrontation, Shadow Stalker. There is more to life than your silly predator-prey dynamics.”

The light faded and I was able to take stock again. The voidling was… still here, actually. My “anointing” didn’t change that. It had simply been blown away a few feet. It looked dazed, as much as a weird, spider-monster could look anything, but was otherwise fine.
What changed was me. I felt like a new man, perhaps because I was. The wounds I’d sustained trying to wrestle a ...

I may have miscalculated.
I drank like a fish in my old life. Beer was just another flavor of water. Rum was what I drank to keep a happy buzz. I could easily take a few shots, go all night, then come back for more. My ideal hangover cure was another shot of rum.
In my old life.
At the moment, I was twelve, with none of the hard-earned alcohol tolerance I’d developed over...

After almost two weeks of monitoring the town, I had a few more concrete ideas about who the “fae” could be. They didn’t visit every night, or even every other night, but I had a few shadowy pictures of the culprit. Conrad was right: They were short, had a humanoid shape, and wore some kind of robe with pointy ears and either a big hat or horns.
A yordle. It had to be; there was no way it was...

After a year and a half, I was bored out of my mind. Classes were more or less as I'd expected. I registered out of curiosity, but there was no comparison between the teachings of Scathach and the lectures provided by the Clock Tower. I felt like a PhD candidate going back to elementary school.
What was worse was the blatant prejudice against me and Missy. We were first generation magi as far as they knew, and...

We sat around talking for several more minutes before we heard the door open. That was, of course, impossible. Scathach being able to sneak up on me was one thing, but no one on Earth-Bet had anything resembling thaumaturgical knowledge.
In the doorway stood a man I’d never met before, but recognized all the same. His magical presence was that potent, enough to cow any lesser magus.
He was an older gen...

The last rays of Excalibur’s full power faded into motes of gold. The Warrior Entity was dead and Earth, all Earths, was safe once more.
I dismissed the Sword of Promised Victory. Its promise had been fulfilled and there was no need to keep it around anymore.
Truth be told, though I wielded Excalibur as well as Artoria ever did thanks to her Saint Graph, I never felt as though it was ...

The next morning found the three of us in front of the dungeon. The gate looked even more imposing up close. There was a certain weight to it, a gravitas that was hard to put to words. The golden hoop that was usually around Arceus’ torso pulsed eerily in shades of brown and bronze.
It was strange, almost surreal. The past few years had been gritty and hard. I’d worried about survival, about having enough food to...

I looked around the great hall. The feast was every bit as impressive as the movies suggested, with seemingly every dish under the sun. I saw whole chickens, porchetta as long as my arm and thick as my head, and at least four types of savory pies. There was both beef stew and seafood chowder as well as a spicy pumpkin soup that smelled of cinnamon and cloves.
As entic...

I sat alone atop the roof of the Dawn Winery, a bottle of their most recent vintage in hand. Dandelion wine was nominally no different than standard grape wine, but had no equivalent in the world I’d once known. It was light, mellow, and yet had a heady fragrance I could only describe as “windblown freedom.” No, that wasn’t a flavor, but that really was the only phrase I could think of.

I knelt alongside Watts and Rainart before the queen. She wasn’t truly here, small mercies, but Watts had managed to set up a CCT link to Evernight Castle in the Land of Darkness. Though I knelt at the “head,” with both men flanking me, I could feel their judging eyes on my back. It was no true authority. I felt like a lamb before the butcher, front and center to face my mistress’ wrath.

I was joking of course, much to their relief. Not that I was above humiliating them for my amusement, that was practically ninety percent of shonen martial arts training, but I didn’t want to explain to my wife how I accidentally ended up owning a strip club.
The part that would annoy her most wasn’t that I’d have my paws in something lewd, more that I’d coerced my disciples into it as well. “Corrupting the next generation,” she’d c...

Things had changed a great deal since the crustle incident, and yet not at all. The universe didn't care that Austin couldn't walk anymore. It didn’t care that Sabrina was deeply traumatized. Time moved forward and the townspeople collectively tried to put the incident past them. Perhaps it was callous, but there was a cold pragmatism to it: Life went on and survival was hard enough without carrying the ghosts of the pas...
