The Banishing
Kareea sat knees under her chin in a frenzy of fear. Huddled under blankets on her bed she rocked gently back and forth but to no avail. Earth magic was her friend and consort. She clung to it and fostered her abilities at every opportunity. Chaos magic, that which Wizards used and drew their power from, intruded and disoriented her inner world like sudden loud noises. This she had learned to live with, in part it was the reason she had chosen the far Southern Isles as home. The latest manifestation had actually hurt in places she did not know existed. Bits of it, she had no other way to describe it, had made as if to rend and tear the very things connecting her to the earth. But here she must stay, in the center of what she saw all too clearly, as a gathering storm. Within her jumbled senses a tendril of clarity demanded attention. Kareea ceased rocking, a look of horror on her face as understanding flowered. She flung the blankets aside, hurled herself to the door and ran screaming down the corridor. Those in the common room saw a barefoot apparition in a white bed-shift run through to the outer door. Some smiled, some frowned, and one apprentice Witch threw herself under a table with hands over her ears.

Batwoman
The CW’s shows are good but definitely can be better if they have any type of creativity. With the recent news about the CW possibly being sold there has been a sense of hope for DC fans because let’s be honest, the CW is starting to kill the DC shows. One party who is doing DC shows justice is HBO Max and I believe if the CW is sold, the majority of the DC shows will be bought by HBO Max. All that aside I will be discussing the previous season of Batwoman and how it is playing out. The best thing that could have ever happened to Batwoman was the recast of the iconic comic book character. Ruby Rose was just not a good fit for Batwoman and all that was expected of the role. With all this being said Javicia was an AMAZING pick for the role, I am not too familiar with the actress pre-Batwoman, but I do know that she is a fantastic actress. I will not go into too much detail about season two, but I will talk about where we left off.

She was playing hide and seek with 17 year-old Cyan when suddenly she was taken to a new dimension called Sunshine Boulevard. It’s was a street where all of your wildest dreams came true. There were no bad things that happened here. There were even talking animals that had appeared to be secret agents, the birds were flying books, the trees were made of money, the houses made of rock candy… basically everything was just alright.

The Black Witch 9
The walk back to the mansion was silent and uneventful. The sky faded to a darker shade blue over head while the horizon behind us allowed some red to reflect off the buildings. I could not help but feel that I had crossed a cultural line that I should not have. Although in my home world what I said would have been considered crossing the line for a married man. Yet here it felt even more taboo, considering Kuri's connection with the gods for her it was tatamount to treason. The thought that I should have ended it with saying thank you made itself at home in my head. The walk was a painful one, I feared that once we returned to the mansion Kuri would disappear. I racked my head for a way to resolve this but none came to mind. An apology would be perceived as forced at this point. "Should I give her space and let her approach me about it first?" The thought appeared in tandom with desire to apologize right away. I wrestled with the double think in my head, we passed through the gates to the mansion during my internal debate. The door appeared and was opened before I could remove my head from the storm clouds.

The Changing
In 2028 at approximately 9 pm, a car was driving across a bridge. Inside, a girl behind the wheel. She was heading north to meet a friend. It started raining heavily, instantly blocking the road from sight. The car swerved and the back end hit a tree. The car spun out of control and went over the edge of the bridge. The girl slowly opened the door tried to crawl out. The temperature outside was 53 degrees below zero. Her heart beat slowed so it would beat about once or twice a minute.

New Camelot
The elven woods encircled the country of men. Railways crisis-crossed the land, transporting goods across the Empire. Within the past two decades, the once divided nation merged through the recent increase in steam-powered technology, including printing presses. Secluded cities and obscure towns could now read about politics from a population over a hundred miles from them. With this revolution came a surge in new factory work, education, and voting rights for the dwarven populace. It was a mere half-century since the stocky race was given freedom from slave-work and they were increasingly gaining more rights with the help of the South-Eastern Orcs. Their aggressive approach, however, has stirred conflict among the land of men. Small groups began to sprout up in resistance to the dwarves’ movement. Most resistance groups flickered out once the orcs joined the dwarves’ side, except for one. “Excalibur” was created to target not only the newly freed slaves, but all races who stood by the Queen’s ‘Freed Camelot’ Act, which declared all beings free within the Empire. The reference to the Arthurian Era, a mere three hundred years ago, was to create a contrast between the old race-banning laws that was enacted under the rule of King Arthur and the new Queen Ciciera’s “New Camelot”. King Arthur enthusiasts, however, strongly opposed the new Acts and resisted the Steam Revolution.
