Part III: Jimmy woke up with shakes and sweat. He looked over at the window pooling the moonlight (not as strong as before). And then he looked over at his desk. All the things that should be there were back. There were no boomboxes, Walkmans or old computer systems. Everything was perfect.

Elysium
Seeming nothingness. An empty void filled with anticipation as to what would soon be. One being roamed around the waterless dark ocean. Ever-changing in form, the creature took a four legged shape. Black and Red markings covered the body as it landed smoothly on a large rock, mouth extending outwards into a proboscis, similar to that of a butterfly, had that Butterfly been born in the furthest reaches of the void encasing the universe. The light within the rock faded as the creature gulped down the last of the stardust within it. Having devoured its meal, four legs turned into none and a blend of black and red laid flat on the rock, slumbering.

FATED: Part 3
Councilor Ambross leaned back in his chair and gazed out at the warm, flickering night lights of Haven. Decades ago they had once imposed a mandatory curfew when crime ravaged so severely it felt as if they were in a war-zone. But then order was restored and the curfew was removed. People were free to live their lives in peace and without fear. There were still criminals, he supposed. It was inevitable. No matter how advance the civilization, there would always be those who enjoyed wreaking havoc. But then again, he realized, there would also be those labeled criminals due to circumstances. A knock sounded from the door though he continued to stare out into the City.

Songs of the Silver Wizard . Top Story - December 2023.
COMPENDIUM “It is a wizard’s duty to be the armor of those who cannot wear it.” The thought struck Thaddeus as his staff of fine white birch whirled around his head. A wall of fire raced down the walls of the stone tower and incinerated the approaching siege tower full of Gothinians. Bodies tumbled twenty feet as the tower became a bonfire. The wizard found it comical that this was the moment the words of his late master bubbled to the forefront of his notedly extraordinary mind. Coddgery old kook.
