《Tales Of The Dark Mage: New Moon| Part I》Chapter 62 World Mage News

Peyton: Keep reading out the ID cards. Justin: I got you. Valencia, magic types ice, wind, and Earth magic. Deshon: I was kind of expecting you to have more. Valencia: I really only use ice magic. So really could say I only have one type of magic. Deshon: Let me guess, you don't know how to control them? (Condescending tone) Valencia: I have perfect control of them. Compared to my ice magic, they're really inferior. And plus, my ice magic spells have a low cost of mana consumption. Deshon: Is that so? Alright then. Justin: Physical strength ranked double S ranked tenth. Sora: Wow, Vivi! It was higher than I expected. But I did see you fight Kane with your bare hands for a bit.
Valdis: Oh, trust me, that wasn't her full power. You've only seen a glimpse of her power. Sora: Awesome. Can't wait to see more. Justin: Speed ranked triple S ranked one, mana amount ranked triple S, rank fourth; battle intelligence ranked triple S, ranked eighth. Grimoire level ranked Z! If I see another Z rank for another person in this damn club, I'm going to stop reading this crap aloud. I just refuse to believe we got that much talent on this dang team! A nigga wants to get some playtime! Benson: Don't worry, Justin. I promise you'll get playtime. De'Niro: What about me? De'Niro pointed at himself with a hopeful smile on his face. Benson: Absolutely. Brianna: Even me? Benson: yes, even you, Brianna. You have my word on that. Deshon: And me? Benson: Of course. Especially you. Sora: What about me? Benson: You got to work hard for yours. Sora: I always work hard! Benson: I'm going to need you to work even harder.
Benson: And as for you, Sophia. I also need you to work a lot harder. Sophia: What? I always work hard! Sora: That's what I'm saying! Benson: I know both of ya'll were slacking on your training, don't lie. I know for a fact. Sora & Sophia: We've been training. Benson: Don't worry, I'm here now. Deshon: Get ready to train to death. Sora: If you think we get tired from his training, then you're sadly mistaken. Peyton: Are you going to allow him to get away with that?
Benson: It's true no matter how hard I push them, they don't get tired from it. The most exhausting thing they can do is fight each other all day without rest or do repetitive basic training like how much weight can Sora lift or how long can Sophia keep her top speed. Deshon: There's gotta be something? Benson: I tried everything. But when you have talented students, that can easily defeat you. They're genuinely challenging to train. But now, some time apart from these two. I was finally able to come up with something.
Peyton: I thought you said you can't teach them anything new? Benson: I did. But I was referring to the past. Peyton: How are you going to train Sora? I thought he was already perfect? (Sarcastic tone) Benson: The thing is, I was looking at it in a different light. Peyton: Oh, please tell the class. Benson: No matter how much physical training I've given him in recent times. He always completes it with no problems. And these two know way more spells than me. So I can't teach them new things. Deshon: Get to the point already! Benson: The point is that I need to condition Sora's mind. Peyton: I thought he was one of the most brilliant minds in this world, Benson?! (Sarcastic tone) Benson: He most definitely is. Justin: From what I've seen, he ain't that bright.

Sora: Ouch! My feelings! Why would you say that? Benson: I want to hear your take on this, Justin. Peyton: Same. Justin: Well, from what I saw from his fights. He fought Kane one-on-one. When he was low on mana. When things were really looking bad. He didn't call for backup. He would rather die than just call for some help. Peyton: I agree one hundred percent. Sophia: Si, I also agree with that. Justin: Then taking on almost thirty ghouls, Kane and Shorty. Also, the warlock was still a threat. Kane and Shorty were killing you. Due to Deshon's nature, Kane broke your back. And you still didn't want help. Peyton: Yes! Preach, JT! And don't forget, he almost died. His grimoire was burning away. I saw death written all over your face. You were about to die. Zoey: Don't be too hard on him.
Peyton: No, he needs to be told this! You want to fight strong opponents all the time. Because it's a thrill and a challenge for you, right? Sora: Correct. Peyton: You need to give that up. Don't you see, your life isn't yours or Sophia's anymore; didn't you tell me around this time yesterday night? You wanted your daughters to have two parents while they grow up, right? Sora: Yes. Peyton: Then stop seeking death by battle. Who cares about honor when you're dead? Once you die, it's over; there's no coming back! Peyton: You love your daughters, right?
Sora: Without question. In situations like that, you ask for help. You know you got people with you that are strong. That's why all of us go to this school! Because this school is the best in the world. Don't be caught up in your pride or your sick kink for battle! Sora: Are you guys done? Peyton: You don't get to decide that! Sora: Ya'll been hogging up the talking stick. I have something to say.
Peyton: Then say it then. Sora: Yeah, I know what I did was stupid. I knew it wasn't the most intelligent thing to do. When I look back on it. Man, I probably should've asked for help. It would've made everything a lot easier. Even when I was in the heat of the moment, it crossed my mind. But my soul was telling me to fight! I love fighting. I love it when all of the odds are stacked against me. I know I sound crazy; I just really like having a tough challenge. I love fights when I don't have to think. Power against power. Just give it my all! Let's see who wins, my enemy or myself. Zoey blurted out a laugh. Peyton: Why did you laugh? Zoey: I guess you don't remember. Peyton: Remember what? Zoey: Ryder said the same thing a couple of years ago. Then Ruby and Sapphire said the same exact thing two years ago after winning the championship. And now Sora is saying the exact same thing. Benson chuckles. Zoey: What, I'm serious!? Benson: I believe you. I think it was 1998 when Maina said the exact thing. So, I think it's a Hestia family problem.
Zoey: That would make sense. Peyton: It doesn't mean that it defines them. Zoey: You've been around all of them now. It makes sense. Peyton: But that doesn't excuse Sora. Zoey: Who does Sora remind you of, coach? Benson: Without a doubt, Maina. Sora: How? Benson: Well, you look like her. Sora: Nani? Sophia: Yeah, you really do. It's kind of uncanny. Benson: And you kind of fight like her back in the day when she just became the god of mages. And you use your ice clones in the same way as her, but the only difference is she uses twelve ice clones. Zoey: And you fight in a very aggressive and arrogant manner.

Sophia: Wear down your opponent by blitzing or sitting back, fending off their attacks, and letting them tire themselves out. It's simple but effective. Justin: Screw it, I'm speed running this. Magic control double S ranked 9th. Magic sensing triple S ranked two. Valencia got up, grabbed her ID, played with Naomi for a moment, and sat back down. Justin grabbed platinum ID cards from the box.
Justin: All right, Peyton Davis. That's an excellent school picture. Your mage rating is double S ranked fifty. Magic types water and wind magic. Nothing too crazy for your stats. You're pretty balanced. Mage battle intelligence is a whopping double S ranked fourteenth. Peyton got up and took her ID. Justin picked up brown ID cards from the box. Justin: Brianna, it's your turn. You're a C-rated mage ranked two hundred. Magic type steel chain magic. Stats are not that desirable. Bri got up with a disappointed look on her face, collected her ID, and sat back down in haste. Justin grabbed two IDs, one made of ruby, and another one is a platinum blue hue with a golden crown on its back.
Justin: Why do you have two different IDs?! Sora: I don't know, but I can guess that the platinum blue one is a part of her majesty's royal guard. Justin: If I see your stats, and they're some BS, then I'm handing out everyone's ID cards, got it?! Sora: Crystal. Justin: (Sora) Blue Vesta Hestia. Mage rating double S ranked one. That's strike one kid. Sora: It is what it is. Justin: Magic types, Rosé fire magic, water magic, dark magic, light magic, anti-magic, chaos magic, Earth magic, lightning magic, wind magic, destruction magic, magma magic, ice magic, hex magic. That's strike two, boy! Sora: What can I say? Deshon: You have that many!? How the heck; do you have all of that!? Sora: I'm just really blessed, that's all. Peyton: You don't even use them all! Sora: I do. It depends on what I want to do for a fight. Peyton: You don't need all of those magic types! Give some to Deshon, De'Niro, Bri, or Justin; you don't need that many magic types. Sora: I use them when the situation calls for them. And plus, if I use them like you want me to, I would be out of mana constantly.
Deshon: Excuses. I would use all of them. De'Niro: Why can't you be like Maina and use them all of the time? Sora: Maina mana reserves are way too vast compared to mine own! Justin: Physical strength ranked Z ranked one. Kid, that's strike three! I'm done. Take all of your ID's De'Niro: Does that mean he's the most physically strongest person in the school? Zoey: Yep. Deshon: Wait, why was he struggling against Kane if he's that strong? Benson: Sora pulls back his punches by a lot. I'll praise him for that. That takes a lot of discipline to not use that strength on people. Deshon: BS. He ain't that strong. Zoey: Deshon, do you need to see Dr. K again? Deshon: No. My head only has some damage to it that will heal eventually. Zoey: I'm pretty sure that they put a Lil machine in that head of yours. So they can monitor your brain activity, and De'Niro will be monitoring your behavior.
De'Niro: Don't worry, Deshon, I got your back. You will be good and well. Deshon: Thanks. Justin tossed me my ID cards. And started handing them out to those who haven't gotten them yet.

Macy: Thank you for joining back with us. After that exciting twenty-minute preview of the new movie Psycho Mage. Maina, you released all of the things you reported to social media. Both of us have read it. Thomas: So how could this happen, Maina?! I thought you were the big and bad mage that every single magic-user fears and respects except for Zea. I can understand Zea; she's a nut case. Maina: I was there to see the entire thing. This was a bold attack, but my intelligence branches will get to the bottom of this. Macy: Will there be war? Maina: I do not want another war as the god of mages during my reign.
Thomas: This looks like war, Maina! This attack was the perfect distraction. The mage high council was attending the Golden Divine Eagles game. The enemy was able to break out your first apprentice that was sealed away by the so-called high council! Hakeem Pereira! Your first failure! You allowed that boy to fall from grace! You allowed him to fall to the temptation of false dark magic. He was perfect until you shifted your focus on living the easy life and not helping others out. Maina: It still haunts me to this very day that I failed him. I wasn't the best teacher that he deserved. I wanted to stop fighting a long time ago. I was too focused on my babies at the time. I didn't want to carry the problems of this great nation and the world. I just wanted to escape from this world. Thomas: Always want to take the easy way out, Maina. If you were proactive instead of being so reactive. This wouldn't be happening. If you killed every criminal mage, we wouldn't have this problem.
Maina: If you stopped going against the development of mages and fought for equal human rights for magic users back in Georgia, Laughing Mama would've never taken advantage of this situation. You're giving perfect recruiting grounds because Mages can't find jobs around their family. Not every single magic user can fight. Macy: If you would've killed Laughing Mama, maybe your husband would still be alive! Because where were you when he needed your help. Oh, wait, fighting Laughing Mama. Someone you should've killed a long time ago. If she was dead, your husband wouldn't have gone back and saved his men. His death is your fault! You allowed your son Vince Hestia to be killed by Kamui, the same group responsible for killing your husband! Just do the right thing, Maina, and stop being so foolish.
Justin: How is she not batting an eye right now. Deshon: She would've ripped my head off if I said that. Peyton: It's called restraint. If she acts out right now after the attack that just happened. It will be bad for every non-combatant magic-user. They struggle with discrimination, education, simple human rights in some cases. And have a high crime rate in poor areas in the states. Sora: She's one of the few things that the regulars respect. If she acts out now. She will burn the bridge, and there will be no turning back. There's likely going to be war, and we might have to take over this world. And get rid of these wretched people. Zoey: The sad part is your right. Sophia: The only reason mages live with the regulars is because we were driven into near extinction. Justin: This whole world is screwed up. Zoey: It sounds like you need a woman in your life. Justin: Are you offering? Zoey: No, but I have a friend named Amaris, that's looking for a serious relationship. So are you interested? Justin: Is she attractive? Zoey: Have a look for yourself. Justin got up and went to Zoey gazed at her phone with a proud smile.
Zoey: Does that answer your question? Justin: Yep, she's very attractive. But is she a hoe? I'm not trying to waste my precious time. Zoey: No, she's not. But she does require lots of affection if you know what I mean. Justin: We'll see about that. But am I her type? Zoey: Well, she looked at all the guys in our club. She ranked all of the guys. It was Sora, Valdis, Justin, De'Niro, Deshon. Justin: Sora's taken. Valdis, you got a girl? Valdis: Well, Sapphire has my soul right now. Peyton: Aren't you going out with Mia? Deshon: You're dating my little sister? Valdis: Well, she asked me out. She is quite attractive. Is there a problem, cuck? Justin: Dang, he's messing with your sister! You keep taking L's after L's!

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

The Art of Being Entreri
A Fanfiction involving Artemis Entreri. This story takes place after The Silent Blade and takes Entreri in an entirely different direction than the published novels. Entreri wants to abandon his old life and escape the drow elves that now dominate his existence. He travels to a distant land to find a new beginning, but his dark past has a way of following him. In this new environment, he is without rival and quickly discovers that his only chance of a normal life is to live under the radar. But an evil magic is awakening in this virgin land, and when people come to him for help, Entreri needs to decide what he is willing to fight for. For readers who are familiar with Artemis Entreri, this story starts an alternative timeline for the deadly assassin. For others who are not familiar with the source material, this can be read as a story of a veteran assassin wishing to retire, as, after the first chapter, very little knowledge of what came before is necessary.
