《Tales Of The Dark Mage: New Moon| Part I》Chapter 85: The New Queen & King Saga | Act II : The Rise Of The New Queen (Episode 5)

The cabin door swung open with vigorous force, and Brok walks out with two throwing daggers in one hand, one dagger was silver and the other one was frosted white ice. In his other he’s holding a rounding hammer. Brok: Can a guy work in fucking peace, without all of this bullshit!? Justin, you making more noise than a fucking whale! Justin: Me?! What about them? You don’t hear Valencia and Sophia?! Brok: Stop trying to deflect the fucking blame, Horseface! You modern mages have no self-accountability, I miss the mages from two generations ago! They were special! He walked over to Valencia, grabbed both of her wrists and turned them over, Brok placed the silver dagger in her left hand, and he placed the frosted white ice dagger in her right. Then Brok carefully placed both throwing knives on both forearms.
Then he reached in his blacksmith pouch, and took out these turquoise thin bracelets, covered in frost. Brok puts the bracelets on Valencia, and then he strikes all of the items that were placed on Valencia with his rounding hammer. Before the bracelets seeped into her skin, it created a chain-link forged in ice that connected with the daggers. Then it submerged itself inside of Valencia’s skin, with no traces of the bracelet, like it was never there.
Justin: Brok! Brok: Calm your tits, Horseface, I’m fucking working here, you funny looking cunt! Valencia: What does it do? Sophia: Of course someone that is feeble minded as you, doesn’t have an inkling, how something so unpretentious functions. Valencia: So that obnoxious American accent is gone, I thought I would never hear the end of it. Well, you’re still obnoxious even with your snobbish British accent. Sophia: Oh, could you please keep your whorish’s mouth closed, you cominate the air, every time you utter a sentence!
Valencia: The only thing I smell is your bullshit. You’re nothing, but an annoying bitchy spoiled brat that needs to be put in a fucking straitjacket. Sophia: Oh, just shut up, will ya!? Valencia: How about you make me shut up?! I hardly want to touch your hogwash skin! Brok: Valencia, follow me. Justin made his way towards Sophia, Sophia looked his way and rolled her eyes, and just had this prideful condescending expression on her while Justin was in her line of sight.
Brok and Valencia made their way towards us, Brok guided Valencia to stand perpendicular towards me, that her back is facing Sophia. Brok: All right, here’s the rundown, I don’t want loud mouth Sophia, force me to repeat myself. Valencia: A moment of peace. Brok: This weapon’s name is Semi-Auto-Machine-Magic. Or for short Sam. Sora: But it has two… Brok: Quit your yabbering and recover! Always trying to correct someone! Valencia: You were saying? Brok: I was saying, when you throw blades they can come back if you immediately reach out your hand or they will teleport back to you and be ready to go. Not only that, you can quickly throw up to seven knives for each hand. Valencia: So fourteen in total, I still going to need way more, but I guess it’s a start…

Brok: You’re in luck, I already thought of that. If you need more, then just tap at the location of the bracelet and draw a number, it will draw magic from the bracelets to create the desired amount, if it needs more magic, then it will only siphon one percent of your own mana to replenish itself. Valencia: What if I need something like a thousand? Brok: I recommend that you find out yourself when you test it out. Any other questions? Valencia: Yes, how do I put this away? Or do I need to place it on my person or do I need to connect it with a bag, so I can have access to it? Brok: Nonsense! All you have to do is, to put away the initial daggers is to tap the location of the bracelet twice or you can let the knives slide down from your hand to the bracelet. Or you could just drop them, intentionally, it won't work if it's unintentional.
Valencia: Thank you for your hard work. Brok: Look at this Pisspot! That’s how you're supposed to do it! Sora: Do what exactly? Zea: Don’t move too much. I’m still working on you. Brok: Keep it simple and to the point. Don’t be a fucking nerd about it! Then another huge shouting match, and no other than Sophia being right in the middle of it, and this time is with Justin.
Sophia: Do you want to keep your legs?! Justin: I’m sorry your highness! I’m nothing but a commoner with some intelligence and with some goddamn common sense, which it seems you goddamn lack, your grace! Justin spoke with a sarcastic tone, and backed up a bit, trying to distance himself from her. Sophia: You have the nerve to use sarcasm with me plebeian! Justin: In the greatest nation in the world, we have total freedom of speech and there’s no nobles, everyone is equal, in the land of the free and home of the brave! People like you go on a power trip and just straight up abuse it! You know what, I will not bow my head! I am a goddamn American! We bow to no one, tyrant! I will not tolerate you anymore!
Sophia: I couldn’t agree with you more, Shelton! Sophia reached out and summoned her royal blue and golden hilted katana in her right hand, and pointed at Justin, and she had this crazed assertive anger look on her, the way that her eye is twitching, and that subtle smirk of duper delights. She coated her blade with light and lightning magic.
Cyan icy aura quickly submerged Justin, Then quickly the aura dissipated and Justin is standing in full body icy white steel armor, with a wolf shaped helmet and with a black visor and you can see ghostly blue eyes behind the visor. Then quickly formed a katana made of ice. Justin quickly charged at her, and swung at her right arm, Sophia nonchalantly, swung right through Justin’s ice katana, and shattered it. Justin looked down at his hilt, once Justin looked back up, Sophia did a little wave at him.
Justin quickly threw his hilt at Sophia, which she casually stepped to the side of the projectile. Justin started doing backflips to put some distance between them. Soon as Justin stopped, Sophia was already right behind him, and she’s resting her katana on her shoulder. Justin frantically looks for Sophia, then she lets out a loud yawn, Justin froze for a second and then Sophia tapped him on the shoulder, Justin turns all the way around, Sophia is just waving at him. Justin created some distance by jumping back a couple of times.

Justin: Maximum effort! Lightning Magic: Blue Lightning! Justin placed two fingers above his head, and a surge of lightning covered his two fingers, Sophia barely paying attention to Justin, she’s more focused on her reflection on her blade. Justin brought down his hand at chest level and shot the blue lightning at Sophia, she stuck out her left hand with two fingers and caught the lightning. Sophia looks at her hand, and starts yawning, then she drops her katana. Soon as the katana hit the snow, Justin shot another burst of blue lightning at her, Sophia caught the lightning again, she observed the current surge of lightning at her left hand.
Sophia: Are you done, yet?! Justin summons a black Damascus steel katana in his right hand and points it at Sophia, and charges at Sophia with lightning magic surrounding his feet, enhancing his speed. Sophia quickly changed the lightning’s color by pressing her hands together changing the lightning’s blue hue to red, and shot at Justin’s feet causing him to face plant into the snow. Sophia grabbed her katana, Justin slowly got up, some of his blood stained the snow, it seemed like the blood came from his foot. Sophia: Already done, you loudmouth ignoramus jackass!?
Justin once more charged at Sophia, and she stopped wielding her blade with two hands, she just held her blade in her left hand in preparation for Justin’s frontal assault. Justin went for a vertical strike, Sophia clashed her blade with Justin’s blade, which caused him to stumble back a bit. Sophia: Come on! You call yourself a swordsman! What a sick joke!
Justin: You little midget! Justin rushed at Sophia, he tried to strike at Sophia’s head multiple times, but she stayed calm and collected and parried all of his strikes. Justin began switching it up by mixing in horizontal strikes that targeted her ribs, hip and shoulders. Every time Justin swung his sword, he sped up his pace with lightning magic. But Sophia is easily matching his attack speed, parrying his strikes, and she has this stupid cocky grin on her. I can’t honestly stand looking at it. It makes me want to jump in, and wipe the damn grin off!
Sophia: Are you speeding up your attacks?! Justin: What if I am?! Sophia: I was asking because I barely noticed it! Justin: Ahhhhhhh! Justin doubled his attack speed, and forced Sophia back. Sophia starts to obnoxiously laugh at Justin, then she clashes her blade hard against Justin, holding him in a blade-lock.
Sophia: Come on! Show me that little power that dumb bitch gave you! I saw it on the monitor! Sophia kicked in his chest and sent him flying backwards in the air for a moment before crashing, thirty yards away from her. Justin got up once more, and started hopping around and quickly got to Sophia, they clashed blades once, and Sophia dropped down and leg sweep Justin, causing him to fall to the snow. Justin: Is that the only thing you can do?! That cocky grin of Sophia went away, and she became angrily disgusted at his statement.
Sophia: Get up! Justin got up to his feet, Sophia threw her katana like spear coated yellow lightning magic at Justin’s head, he barely ducked his head down in time, her katana struck at the cabin's porch. Sophia summoned her cyan-colored rapier in her right hand, Justin went after Sophia with faster attacks, but Sophia precisely avoided Justin’s barrage, just by vanishing before the mace could ever connect.
Justin went for a horizontal swing, in return Sophia parried his katana with her rapier, Justin’s hands were in the air, his defenses were broken for two seconds, Sophia instantly surrounds her legs with light magic and lightning magic proceeds to blitz the living the fuck out of Justin, she’s thrusting her blade nine times per second. Justin’s body armor shattered into pieces, only his helmet is intact, his katana laying flat on top of the snow, Justin falls on his back.
Sophia: Pick it up! Justin: How did… Sophia: Pick it up! Justin gets up and summons his sheathe. Justin: I give up, I surrender, I admit defeat. Justin walked on over with a little limp in his step and reached down to pick up his blade, but Sophia yelled no, Justin stood up straight, I can’t tell what kind of expression he’s making but I bet he’s confused. Justin: What?! I give up! It’s over Sophia! I give up, I know how strong you are! There’s no point in continuing this fight, I thought my armor would let me stand up against you, but I was wrong! Your strength and speed are just too much for a guy like me. Sophia suddenly submerged herself in yellow and blue aura, you can see the disdain in her gaze at Justin. Sophia: Cowards, don’t need good weapons! Leave your katana! And you can walk away with your hands and eyes!
Justin: I literally just got it back! Sophia: Leave it! It doesn't belong to a coward like you! Valencia tightened her grip on her dagger, and then she walked a bit then she was gone, and Justin’s blade was gone, and then she appeared right next to Justin, with his blade in hand and gave it to him.
Valencia: Go back with the others! I’m sick and tired of her antics! Justin started running towards us, Sophia tried to cut him off, by getting in front of him, but Valencia appeared right behind Justin, and grabbed his shoulder, disappeared with him for a second, and reappeared right in front of us. Brok: You know what!? Fight it out! I’m sick of this back and forth, shit! Everyone get inside of this fucking grimoire, let’s watch this shit!

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw

Author's Rant
Just a disclaimer, this is not and never will be a story. I just, noticed I have a bad habit of wanting to rant in my author's notes, and have decided that, instead of accidentally doubling the length of each chapter with the author's note alone, I will shove those long-ass rants here. It might contain spoilers for my stories, as I usually wind up ranting about different parts I'm writing. So, if you actually enjoy my rants...well, firstly, what is wrong with you? Secondly, welcome! Time to figure out what tags to stick on this. Also, as of the second chapter, I have decided to shove some of my story ideas here. So if you enjoy half-baked, unfinished stories, then I got those too. I think that adds that short story tag?
