Beginnings of the Modern Mage Crisis Round
Artemis: “Oh please, don’t look at me like that.”Nao: “No. You’re lucky I don’t-”Artemis: “You can’t do anything to me here. It will be just as useless as those shots you took at the ring outside.”Nao: “It will make me feel better though.”Artemis: “But that’s not why you’re here.”Nao: “No, I…need…your help.”Artemis: “You want to make a contract with me? Interesting, what has happened out there to force you to do this?”Nao: “I don’t have enough energy to save my friends so I…need a boost.”Artemis: “Oh yes, my husband’s former friends. How’s Anthony anyway?” Nao: “…In jail.”Artemis: “…I see. He was one of the better ones. He even reminded me a bit of…him.”She gets off the recliner and approaches me. Long violet hair flows in the wind and those seductive purple eyes drill into me. I wish I had enough mana to hold a shapeshift, seeing her tower over me is…disturbing.Artemis: “How cute. After everything I’ve done to you…”Artemis: “I almost want to help you for free but that’s
Beginnings of the Modern Mage Permafrost
Mat: “Tallow? Holy crap!”Velo: “Your arms! Are they better now?”Tallow: “More than better, I can finally help.”Vale: “No you don’t!”Vale stops attacking me and bum rushes Tallow but I know they can’t do anything.Nao: “0%”I catch my breath as the spikes remove themselves from my neck. This battle is over.Tallow: “Freeze.”Instantly, all of the Vales turn into living Popsicles.Tallow: “I don’t know how long that will last. Let us get out of here.”Tallow frees everyone while I get Arc and Artemis back. I have to make sure they don’t see Artemis though.Artemis: “I guess that artifact wasn’t completely useless.”Yeah, I guess some artifacts need the right type of person to work.Artemis: “Those types tend to be fickle. Hurry and leave before it changes its mind to help us.”Tallow: “Are you okay Nao?”Tallow offers a hand and I happily take it with my free hand.Nao: “Yeah, thanks for saving us.”Tallow: “Welcome, but if it wasn’t for you, I won’t have gotten this far.”*Crack*O
Beginnings of the Modern Mage Resupply
???: “Wake up, we have some annoying company.”…Huh?Nao: “Prisha? Isn’t it still nighttime?”Prisha: “No, the sun is almost up. Enough about that, we have a problem. You all need to get up and go now.”My senses start to awaken from their slumber. I think…I understand what she means.“Exit the building now or we’ll be forced to come inside!!”Sirens and yelling can only mean one thing. I mentally slap myself. Were we so exhausted that we didn’t think the police would show up? Of course they would, crazy people hijacked a hospital. I’m surprised they took so long. Prisha: “Should we fight our out?”Nao: “No! We have enough to deal with, we don’t need law enforcement after us too. Wake up everyone else first.” After 10 minutes of getting everyone up, I go to the window to see several police cars around the hospital. Alyson: “God, I hope no one saw me. I can’t avoid losing my job. Not now.”Mat: “Your job is the least of your problems. What if they take us to jail?!”Deanna: “It’s w
Beginnings of the Modern Mage The Shift
……*Yawn*Nao: “What time is it?”I don’t think I’ve ever slept that late into the morning. I look to the clock and notice it’s 2:00pm. Great, now my internal clock is all messed up. Nao: “Ugh.”I feel sore all over. But it’s worth it. I can feel power surging through me, more than ever. I almost…want something to happen so I can test it out on someone.I shake those thoughts out of my head. These powers are for protecting people, not indulging in fights.I get dressed for the day and go to the bathroom to fully freshen up. Maybe I should even take a bath. It’s been a while since I’ve relaxed, why not treat myself? But when I go to remove my shirt, I’m astonished at my body. Muscular, lean, and I have a nice six-packed.Nao: “I’m not even using shape shift. I look…really good.”*Flex**Flex*Nao: “Hehehe, I never thought I would look this good normally. I wonder what’s the best way to show this off.”But my eyes return to my face and I remember why it doesn’t really matter at the e
Beginnings of the Modern Mage Snap & Move Forward
“He’s right, no one should have that kind of power.” “Yeah, enough is enough.” “I knew that family was suspicious. Like, how did they get magic anyway?” “Maybe by blood sacrifices or making deals with the devil! “The church was right?!” Nao: “Alyson, you need to leave.” Alyson: “Yeah, no witch hunt for me please. Be careful, Nao.” She gives me a quick kiss on the cheek and leaves the restaurant. Thankfully, no one seems to notice her leaving. If only I had equipped illusion or maybe made an invisibility item. But I didn’t, I need to work with what I got. I try to get back to work and keep up appearances. I struggle to stifle the urge to run home. I know Alyson has a defensive charm but will that be enough? I steady my breath and calm myself. I need to continue working, I can’t afford suspicion here. As soon as I return to my position, I see Ethan mindlessly working. I guess I’m not the only one working through the worry. Seeing Trevor like that would be shocking. He may
Beginnings of the Modern Mage Regroup
Ugh…my head. Arc: “You’re awake, how do you feel?”…Different. But I don’t have to worry about that, I need to-Nao: “What a minute how did I-”I look around to see the interior of Deanna’s room. But…wasn’t I…Arc: “You were trying to find Alyson remember? You succeeded and brought her here.”Nao: “I did? I…don’t remember.”Arc: “A lot was happening and Alyson was a bit shaken.”Nao: “Why! What happened!!”Arc: “Calm down, she was just too tired to walk because she was scared to go home. They might have set a trap after all.”Nao: “I…guess.”Still…something doesn’t feel right.*Door Open*Alyson: “Nao?”Nao: “Alyson.”I jump out of bed and rush to hug her. I missed this warmth…but…it’s a bit different than usual. More distant…Nao: “Are you alright?”Alyson: “Y-Yeah. Why were screaming?”Nao: “I…was just worried. Do you remember how you got here?”Alyson: “…Yeah. Luckily, there wasn’t anyone covering Deanna’s home.”Nao: “Yeah, how convenient.”Alyson: “If you say so. Anyway, I have

Everyone trains their guns on me but I keep my cool and shields up. “So you’re the one that made this storm?”Nao: “Of course not. If you heard of me, you would know I don’t do stuff like this.”“We can’t trust your kind. You could be trying to trick us.”Victor: “Come on, let me explain this.”“No, even if you’re Victor, you betrayed us.”Victor: “No I-”Nao: “Clearly they won’t listen. We’ll-”???: “Kill them right partner!?”Nao & Victor: “!!”Instantly a column of light appears from the right and dissolves most of the officers and their cars.Victor: “NO!!”The few left were completely shaken by the whole ordeal. Vale: “Thanks for the distraction you two.” Victor collapses to his knees in utter shock while I’m…Nao: “You…”“Y-You m-monsters…”Nao: “No I’m-”Evelyn: “Come on, we need to get back up!”I turn to that witch who’s trying to lead the remaining the officers into last police car, hers. Is this her plan? To make us seem even worse now?! No, I won’t let her! I burst for

Switch Perspective: Nao]Prisha wastes no time going straight for me. Fine! I won’t back away from a fight anymore!Prisha: “Tallow take care of those two, I’ll help when I down this one! Shouldn’t take long.”Tallow: “Wait he’s-”*Hit*Tallow: “Tch.”Vale: “What a great boon, let us take advantage Cassidy.”The big guy starts to turn towards Tallow. I try to stop him but I’m too busy dodging Prisha’s first slash.Prisha: “No you don’t, I won’t let you gang up on Tallow.”Idiot, I was trying to save him! Whatever, this is fine too. I summon a gust of wind pushing Prisha back. I take another glance at Tallow, he is holding his own. But that won’t last long. Prisha: “Where are you looking!”!!*Slash* *Slash* *Slash*I instinctively dodged out of the way of flying swords. So she can remotely control those blades? I use wind to change the direction ever so slightly. Cassidy: “Ugh.”Yeah, right into the back of the giant. I turn invisible and-Prisha: “No you don’t!”*Slash* *Slash*Da
