CHAPTER SEVEN
Even other gods are wondering what's going on?

Meanwhile, his friends had arrived on the outskirts of town
And when they saw an old farmer they quickly flagged him down
But just before they got is attention their status changed
Status messages popped up and numbers rearranged

Hurry leaf, your friend is not as safe as he should be
Something awful might happen which I could not foresee
Hurry back to help young Twig before it is too late
All he has the strength to do alone is curse his fate

Pebble, you must quickly get help and go back to Twig
His guardian betrayed him like some cruel treacherous pig
Your quest is to try defending him from what has come
Friendship is where most of your true power will come from

You must ride the wind to render aid to your old friend
If you fail your heart will surely break and never mend
Use your gifts to help the weak around you and be strong
Twig is still alive but his luck won’t hold out for long
The three friends were alarmed by what the messages had said
“Come on boys, if we don’t hurry, Twig could end up dead”
They called the farmer over and explained they had to run
Luckily the farmer’s hero days were far from done

Hurry old man, this is not a quest to take lightly
Someone’s child is now in peril, you must go quickly
Help those children and I’ll give you any stats you need
Something in this situation is quite strange indeed
Todd was old and grey but far from ready to retire
When somebody needed him, he’d unleash all his fire
A weak magician but a man with power in his fist
And when he picked a target to punch he had never missed
“A tiny portal eh, that could be something serious
But the messages we received are quite curious
Bring me there and waste no time, we’ll save your little friend
I’m a hero on which any children can depend”
They starting running right away, with leaf taking the lead
Retracing their steps along the way with awesome speed
“I hope the portal turns out to be nothing to scary”
Pebble’s optimism helped, but Sky was still wary
“Something doesn’t seem quite right at all with this whole thing
Even now our guardians say Twig’s is not helping
For all the effort he’s put in, our friend is far from strong”
Sky held her tears back as she spoke and quickly flew along
Even though her goddess had been kind to her before
As she was a girl that any goddess would adore
Never had a message from her goddess felt this way
And what she read next was not common for gods to say
Achievement: Observer
Sky, you know that gods can’t tamper with your realm too much
We could damage it beyond repair with just a touch
And the System watches us to make sure we abide
But I feel something's coming which puts us on the same side

Kind’s Kiss
MAGIC DOESN'T KILL, NOT BY ITSELF. IT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP. Jessica DeRidder is a substitute teacher and mage in hiding, her daughter Ellen a killer on the run. Their next job lands the mother-daughter team in Hellhole, a small town in the middle of nowhere. All they need to do is their job. For Mom to identify the problem, and for Ellen to... fix it. Easy. Simple. But not this time. The pair find themselves caught in the struggle between the Man-in-White and the Wicked Witch of the West. A mysterious image and the theft of a deadly flower lead the pair to a score of dead prisoners, magical drug dealers, and red-eyed assassins falling from the sky. And somehow it all seems to be related to Ellen's murky past. All Ellen wants to do is do her homework, eat ice cream, and protect her newfound friends (not necessarily in that order). She'll go all-in, guns blazing. But when the smoke clears there may be nothing left but a stranger's past and a lonely future. --- 'Kind's Kiss' is a light, modern-day fantasy, easy on the magic, heavy on the snark. Though complete it is still a work in progress. One reviewer described it as 'Buffy meets Sabrina, as done by Tarantino'. I'm still not sure if I should consider that a compliment or hire a hitman :-)
