《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 149

"What do you mean a demon is after our daughter?" Oliver asked angrily.
"Exactly that. I'm sorry, I know this isn't news new parents like to get." John said.
"That's an understatement." Laurel said.
"But fortunately, there is a bit of good news." John said.
"What do you mean?" Oliver demanded.
"We still have time to stop this demon before he can even make a move on Jasmine, since he's unable to reach her yet." John said.
"What do you mean?" Laurel asked.
"The soul of a newborn child is too pure and untainted for a demon to get anywhere. If this bloke tried to get anywhere close to Jasmine now, he'd disintegrate." John said.
"So what do we do?" Oliver asked.
"Well, luckily, I've already identified the demon's name. Mallus." John said and Oliver nearly did a double take.
"Mallus. You sure that's the demon's name?" Oliver asked.
"Positive. The only catch is that Mallus is not a normal demon. Even my magic is strong enough to kill him, even if he were on this plane of existence." John said.
"Meaning?" Laurel asked.
"The moment I learned that Mallus was after your little girl, I began doing everything I could to learn about the bastard and kill him." John said.
"And what did you learn?" Oliver asked.
"Centuries ago, Mallus was imprisoned by the original totem bearers of the 5 tribes of Zambezi." John said.
"Imprisoned where?" Oliver asked.
"Within time itself." John said.
"So he's still trapped right?" Laurel asked.
"Yes, but somehow, he's growing stronger. If he's able to successfully turn your daughter into his vessel, he will be free." John said.
"So we kill him before he gets the chance." Oliver said.

"How?" Laurel said.
"We already know where one of the totems of Zambezi is at this moment." Oliver said.
"Zari." Laurel said and Oliver nodded.
"Exactly. And we can use the Waverider to help us find the others." Oliver said.
"There's one more thing." John said.
"What is it?" Laurel asked.
"I learned that the reason the totem bearers failed to kill Mallus is because they were on short. A sixth tribe once existed and was erased from all records because they sided with Mallus and therefore, the totems weren't powerful enough to kill him." John said.
"So we find those missing totems, we can use them to kill Mallus before he has a chance to get to Jasmine." Oliver said.
"It's not that simple mate. Mallus is imprisoned." John said.
"So we let him out and kill him." Oliver said.
"You don't understand what you're saying." John said.
"I'm aware that it's risky to let a demon out it's cage, but it sounds like it's the only way to keep Jasmine safe and my duty is to my family first. To hell with everything else." Oliver said.
"I just want to make sure you're prepared to deal with those consequences." John said.
"John, wouldn't you do anything to save someone you care about, consequences be damned." Oliver asked.
"Of course I would. And I'm still suffering the consequences of what happened the last time I did that." John said.
"John, please." Oliver said.
"Alright Oliver. First, let's contact this Zari friend of yours. We'll go from there." John said and Oliver nodded his agreement.
"In the meantime, Jasmine should wear this at all times." Constantine said as he a small baby sized necklace from his coat pocket.

"What is it?" Laurel asked skeptically.
"A protective talisman. I know I said that her soul is safe for now, but there's no such thing as too much protection when it comes to demons." John said.
"On that we agree." Laurel said as she let Constantine place the necklace on Jasmine.
"Also, when she gets older, Jasmine's magical powers are going to start to develop. She'll more guidance than you can provide to help her learn how to control it." John said.
"Maybe you can." Oliver said.
"If I'm still kicking at that time, I'd be happy to, though considering my line of work, that's a pretty big if." John said.
"Tell me about it." Oliver said in agreement.
"Enough about that, for now, let's focus on saving our daughter." Laurel said.
"No one will ever hurt her. Man or demon." Oliver promised as he looked down at his sleeping daughter's face and knew that he'd literally go to hell and back to keep her safe. No matter what.

Dental hygienist Isa Chamberlin thought the biggest challenge in her life was getting over a messy breakup, but when she pops into a new neighborhood bar, she finds herself in a different world, one filled with wizards, spells, and monsters. Join Isa as she explores unfamiliar surroundings, uncovers new skills, and learns to level. Magic and monsters, allies and enemies, romance and danger, all of it just on the other side of a simple door. "Wear these bracers with pride.” the half-orc slid first one bracer and then the other over Isa’s forearms. “Fight with your heart,” he said as he pulled the laces tight. “And come back with a story to tell. That is what an adventurer does.” ....... **** Thank you for reading, and if you like the story, please rate and review. Isa and I would both like to level up! This story uses the 5th Edition Open Gaming License for game mechanics. I roll dice for combat outcomes and all skill checks.... which is sometimes surprising! One side note - I don't have a "sexual content" tag on - this is more romance than romp. But that might change!

8 220Meritocracy
Updates Monday-Wednesday-Fridayand sometimes when I feel like it :) For now I'm going to try to post during the weekend The meritocracy is a utopia compared to the rest of the world. The centre of all knowledge. The only reason they are not constantly hounded by warfare is due to their reclusive nature and their supreme defences. But although the world outside is content with leaving the sleeping giant alone, struggles within the meritocracy seek to destroy its very foundation. Along comes Clara, a girl, a prodigy amongst prodigies, and seemingly chosen to be the leader of the next generation.
