《The Misadventures of a Young Dark Magician》Episode 16 (Part 4)
Advertisement
After pausing their ascent above Benjamin’s roof, the two see that the strange creatures were everywhere they looked, causing mayhem and mischief in their waking hour.
“Oh man, this is horrible!” Benjamin exclaimed, watching the chaos unfold.
“Nicholas, where are you right now?” Isabelle asked through the laptop. “We can pick you up!”
“Well, I’m kind of on a roof,” Nicholas replied.
“You too?”
“Yeah, but I’ll try to manage until you guys get here.”
“You shouldn’t be too far, though; just hang in there!”
Isabelle moved the platform to fly as Benjamin held on for dear life. In no time, they found Nicholas fending off some creatures which climbed up to his house.
Just as Isabelle waved and shouted for Nicholas’ attention, the platform slowly disappeared. Having nothing to stand on, Benjamin and Isabelle fell, Nicholas grabbed Isabelle and pulled her up onto the roof with him, but Benjamin wasn’t as lucky and fell straight onto the ground.
He rubbed his head, brushed off his clothes, and saw that the creatures were gaining around towards him. Benjamin tried to brace himself, but when he shut his eyes and opened them again, the beings soon became ash.
Benjamin saw a guy fighting the monsters back with a sword. Even from a distance, Benjamin recognized him almost instantly. Isabelle and Nicholas noticed him, too, and watched as he sliced the creatures up with his sword and zapped them to ash with magic.
“Who’s that guy?” Isabelle whispered.
“I don’t know, but he's not bad,” Nicholas whispered back.
“Man, these things just keep coming,” Sebastian said to himself. “I hope I can handle them all.”
“Hey, you there!” Benjamin called out as he walked over to him.
“Benjamin?” Sebastian paused in his fighting.

“Sebastian?” Benjamin couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
“What are you doing here?” They asked in unison as they pointed at one another. “You’re asking me?”
“Guys pay attention; they’re still in the area!” Isabelle called out to them.
Nicholas looked over at his friend’s computer and saw it had grown a sickly purple aura around it. The atmosphere had spread out and formed into a beam of light, zooming past him and instead, hitting Benjamin and Sebastian, making them disappear without a trace.
Isabelle and Nicholas both gasped in shock.
“What the— What happened?!” Isabelle asked, frantic.
“I don’t know; I’m so confused!” Nicholas exclaimed.
“What’s going on? Where are they now!?"

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
