If it wasn't obvious from how the last post ended, yeah, that's the ending. At 12 chapters and ~36k words, it's the longest single story I've written so far. To everyone who followed it the whole way through, thank you!
I'm not gonna say I'll never write a sequel series or something, but for now my loose collection of ideas about "what comes next" for everyone hasn't resolved into a satisfying story arc. On top of that, I want to put more of my writing energy into the RPG I'm making. As a result, I'm really gonna try to keep anything else I'm posting in the flash fiction range of word counts.
We'll see how that goes. I can't be trusted not to chase whatever catches my fancy at any given point in time.
And hey, if you wanted to toss some money my way as thanks, I did get laid off last month, and I'm struggling to find a new job: Here's my Ko-fi.
Evil Sorcerer: Henchman, come here! I have come up with another brilliant plan to corrupt the Hero to the forces of evil!
Henchman: Yes master, what has your genius come up with today?
ES: The Hero has a weakness for beautiful women, so I've spent all day perfecting a spell that will turn me into a beautiful woman! I can then corrupt him to our side, and we will have no opposition!
HM: Your brilliance knows no bounds, my master
ES: casts spell Yes! Being me a mirror, henchman, I must, ah yes. It worked, I am truly beautiful, I... I... huh.
HM: Is anything wrong, my lord?
ES: I don't... know. I'm feeling a strange sensation that I'm not sure I've ever felt before.
HM: Can you describe it?
ES: It's like a... warmth, down deep inside me. The more I look in the mirror, the more things feel... right.
HM: I believe you're describing happiness.
ES: ....Hmmm.
TWO WEEKS LATER
Legendary Hero: Yeah I don't know what happened, but the Evil Sorcerer just kinda disappeared, called it quits. Left a note saying they were gone for good, I didn't even have to do anything. Anyways, I gotta go, this cute girl moved into town the other day, and she and her butler asked me to give them a tour of the town. She says she's thinking of opening a business!
