20 goto 10

 Well over the next week or two there should be a flood of new posts as I condense what I think I should be posting and my explanations. To his breif story is one that came to me shopping at "Walmart, wondering what would a fantasy big box store be like.  The character the result of a onestopsjopping destination rather than the myriad of Little shops that would pepper a small town or village. And the employees of this kind of store iknow the Grammer and spelling is not perfect. I apologize I went to school in america so I have gaps that I have made attempts to fix over the years.

The freakish smell of  blood, magic, mud and formaldehyde was always present in this place.  No matter how they dressed it with florescent lights,  and self-check out lines, this would always be a breeding ground of evil.  


“Good day, sire.  Would thou like a cart?  We have a sale on  homunculus, zombies, Golums, griffins, and other post-anthropic, anthropomorphic and magical creatures.  We can create to order or a modified stock creature modified while you wait.  Also all of our bulk incantation ingredients are half off.” 


Freakishly tall, long beard, long grey cloak, gnarled white staff and mystical blue vest emblazoned with the Tower-mart Logo and the omnipresent smiling pentagram. He had to be a wizard, or perhaps a tweak addicted Elf, but the lack of pointed ears seemed to indicate not.    


“Thanks” grabbing a cart,  he sped away from the old wizard.  Waving his hand the greeter said,


“be sure to check out our deals on cloaks of invisablity today they are 20 percent off.   


Retired wizards will always stop you and tell you the stories of their great adventures real or not.  But at least they were good with the kids, transmuting paper or  to candy and casting summoning spells to create everything from doves to lesser demons. 


“Using transmuted gold or silver is punishable under the deepest of laws.   Teleportation and summoning spells are also illegal under Tower-marts Roof.  Please keep children and familiars with you at all times.” 


A disembodied voice, for these petty announcements, 


“Will the owner of a two headed red dragon  please return to the parking lot you left the dragon unmuzzled and it is consuming customers.”


Bulk magical ingredients, cheap foreign magic wands and staffs and second rate cloaks, their bottom less stuff sacks couldn't even hold 10k in gold, a suit of armor and ingredients for a decent summoning.  What was this world coming to, foreign magic was wrecking the noble traditions of magic.


“Russell is that you?” 


Russell Star fifth level sage and summoner, shopping at Tower-mart?  


No this is not possible, his shop is the center of the summoning in this region.  The quality of his ingredients are so excellent that the least amount of devil sage could summon a 12th level demon, and keep it bound for weeks.

  My attempt return to blogging,  by coalescing all my thoughts and writings into one cohesive locations so it is much more convenient to share also where I can explain how I came to these ideas and what they mean to me.also so I can have a location to post my art and photos, that isn't the vapid social media swamp that we find ourselves in these days.
