The Dumuzid

Submitted: 2010-02-24 06:04 PM | Hits: 126 | Comments: 7

He raised his sword to fight the foul undead thing in front of him, which was when it threw something only just glimpsed in the beam of his torch at him. When he blocked it with his sword, the resulting explosion both shattered his sword and took off his hand. As he turned to flee, screaming in pain, the Dumuzid he was facing stabbed him again and again until he fell dead to the sandy floor of the tomb.

The nobility of magic

Submitted: 2008-12-03 05:18 PM | Hits: 1698 | Comments: 18

What is the justification for the nobility? Some appeal divine authority. In one world however, being of noble blood really does elevate you above the common rabble. By virtue of magical aptitude.

It is after us. It wants something. And, if we can figure out what it wants, I say we give it to ... it.

“The great hulk of the scaled beast lay wheezing before me, and I am not ashamed to say that I was frightened: though it was injured, I knew the dragon could easily tear me in twain.  The young monk, however, knelt beside the creature’s head, whispering to it in a strange growling tongue.  I questioned the woman, but she ignored me completely, engrossed in examining the scaly monster.  After much badgering, she said merely, ‘I do not mean to be rude, but you are quite a distraction.  Please, leave me to my work.’” -Jeron’s Great Journeys, Book III, Chapter 4
