《The Dark Times》Article 3: Celebrity Singer Comes Ashore
Advertisement
Kiki the Temptress of the Pacific has announced today the decision to bring her 3rd sell out concert tour ‘Of love and pity’ to her landed fans. Next woe’s day she will be swapping her fins for feet and wading ashore at an unspecified beach in the south of England. With her will come her sleek six-packed backing crew The Fins.
If fans are worried that their unique sound will be affected by the lack of water be assured that the world-renowned music loving warlock, Peaceman has created a fine piece of musical enchantment to preserve the effect. This, many believe is the reason for the siren’s unexpected decision to leave the water.
Kiki says on her decision to come to land that ‘Due to modern ships having deep drafts, speed and loud propellers, few sailors get close enough to shore, for long enough to appreciate my alluring beauty or hear my captivating songs. With this new ability, I will be able to bring my charm to them. Kiki sings such songs as ‘As the seaweed sways, so do I; Slowly brushing my moonlight hair (on the rocks); Follow me into the deeps and Love me or feed me.
Certainly, this tour promises to net a huge catch of men to salt away for her dowry. On the subject of marriage and whether this is a last-ditch effort to store up on men for the future, Kiki continues to state that she enjoys singing too much to lose it for any man above or below the waves.
On the subject of her backing group, The Fins, all five have been endowed with uniquely resonant voices most often found in the female of the species but without the subliminal effects. As males, and the rarer half of the breed they are lucky in that they fail to have the territorialism or drive of the females and have no need to hunt higher game.

That said, be warned, as males they do have the total lack of sexual loyalty of their kind, so if anyone is interested in their scantily clad figures and considering more than admiring them from afar, they should take into account their very liberal predisposition and any likely reaction of their female minder before making a move. Sirens should not be stirred to anger for poaching, without careful consideration.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.
