《Your Problem》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Something crashed with a loud bang, startling the trollhunters awake. Aargh was the first to notice Blinky's absence, and he picked up his best friend's scent moving out of the room- mingled with that of Merlin. Jim shook his head and growled, his armor materializing in response to his darkening mood.
Jim tracked the scent to a room not far from the library, and he threw open the door, sword at the ready. The room's walls were blackened, Merlin and Blinky slumped against opposite sides of the room. Blinky was awake, covered with soot and staring at his hands. While the trollhunters were happy to see Blinky back to normal, all of them could see something was wrong.
Merlin's lifeless body lay on the floor, charred and strangely shrunken. Toby prodded the wizard with his foot and shuddered when the body rolled over, showing the dead, glazed eyes. Jim reached down to help Blinky to his feet, but the troll shrank away. "Don't touch me, I can't control it yet, it's too much."
Confused, Jim looked to Claire, who shrugged helplessly. "Merlin attempted to kill me- he somehow figured out that I have inherent magic and he wanted it for himself. He's done it to others as well. Merlin told me that he was going to kill all of you next, and I think I reversed the spell on him. I have all of his magic now, but I don't know what to do with it. Nobody can touch me until I can be sure that I won't accidentally channel it into you- it could kill you."
Blinky's hair stood on end, and the sparks now crawled over his entire body. "Did Merlin ever finish healing the heartstone?" Aargh shook his head and Blinky nodded. "Then I believe I may have a solution."

Blinky pressed his hands to the heartstone, groaning as his magic filled the heartstone, slowly restoring it to its original golden color. Once done, Blinky sighed in relief, feeling so much better now that the excess magic wasn't itching at his skin. Then he turned and hugged his friends, glad that they were all alright.
"So you can do magic now?" Claire asked sometime later. Blinky shrugged and paused from organizing his books to think. "Yes, but I do not think I will. It seems a lot more trouble than it is worth. Besides, I believe that I have had enough of wizards for at least a few centuries."

Of Frost and Steel
After being kicked out of home by her own parents, Emily found herself living in the house of an old woman while working as a plumber to help pay the bills. Her slightly unusual but still very normal life came to an abrupt end one day when an incoming car crashed into hers. When she next opened her eyes, she found no ambulance or hospital room waiting for her. What she found were instead the faces of beings much larger than her who were not entirely human, and the opportunity to live a new life, free of her old one. WARNING: This fiction is dedicated to a friend of mine who spent twelve years of her life hiding who she was because she feared the reaction of her family. For this reason it contains LGBT themes, although they won't be the sole or main focus of the story. The story contains sexual themes, but I will try to keep them to a minimum or make them "fade to black". Chapters will be around 1000 words long and without a fixed release schedule, for the moment.

Magikind
Disclaimer: This is a low-fantasy, soft-sci-fi genre. In fact, it's a variety of genres, so don't be too put off by the tags Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some humans refused to change or adapt along with them. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought to be extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society between Eurasia, Afro-Australian Alliance and The Americas. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin enters the Eurasian army. From there, our journey unfolds. A story of how mankind could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. PS.
