《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 7: After the Courthouse
Advertisement
After leaving the medics room, I’m now in the lounge area in my sweatpants with no shirt since my upper body is bandaged, restricting my arm movement. I take a seat in a recliner and tried to grab the tv remote but it was a little out of reach, so I just gave up. Right after giving up, Jet hands it to me.
“Here.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem, what’s the diagnosis?”
“Cracked sternum, nothing physical for a month.”
“Glad it wasn’t worse. Also thank you.”
“Welcome, I’m sure you’d do the same.”
After the brief conversation she took a seat and I turn on the tv and start to watch the news. Before I could really pay attention to it, I took note of Jet. This is the first time I’ve seen her without her suit on. Normally we train, hit the locker room, and then retire to our quarters. Now I’m able to fully view her for the first time in casual wear. She has shoulder length blond hair, blue eyes, and a big set. I am really dumbfounded at how her suit could hide them.
“Looks like they are talking about us.” Heliodor commented, as he walked in.
“Yeah, we did do a number.” replied Jet.
Then I draw my attention back to the tv and watched the news.
“Veronica, could you please tell us any new information you may have learned.” Newscaster.
“Yes, we have learned that the destruction was caused by a sub group under the supervillain Lord Zek but we do not know at this time which one.” Veronica.
“Thank you. Now to reiterate today’s top story, the Angle Groves courthouse has been partially destroyed. There have been no casualties reported. Fortunately the attack occurred before the scheduled shift began for the day so there were few workers at the site. However, some workers arriving to work were taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. This was caused by the supervillain Lord Zek in his plan to destroy the courthouse building. The Guardians of Angel Grove were at the scene at the time of the incident but are still missing. Early speculation is that the Guardians were trying to foil a plot by Lord Zek and were unsuccessful. Although they are currently missing, there is speculation that they are fine. We are gathering witness testimonies as we speak in order to give you all more accurate information.”

As the news was going on it showed security footage and I noticed Heliodor's fight with the Black Guardian.
Looks like I’ve finally did something news worthy and I need to do some studying.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
