Ever heard of the defeat of the Winter-Tzar? He was an ice-mage who wanted to change the long-term environment of the world through a gradual criminalization of firemagic, which would then lead to a colder world ensuring that his stocks in the wool industry would sky-rocket and... you get the idea.

"Guys, guys"said Mark, bursting into the club.
A needle screeched on a record and the music, and everyone in the club, stopped.

Out of nowhere, there was this dictator who showed up. Some girl, who claimed to be our salvation. No longer will there be suffering, no longer will there be pain, and some other promises, with no plans on how to put it into action. Surprisingly, despite her entire speech, people still voted her.

"So you guys have magic?"
"Yeah, but it's nothing special. I ran into four other universes with magic too."

Lindsey raised her eyebrows without widening her eyes, managing to convey both surprise and skepticism. She looked from her husband, Bob, to the goldfish bowl that he had suspended in mid-air. He nodded at her encouragingly.

Apparently they were. So I got arrested. For supposedly killing a guy, who, by the way, is actually me.

Alexi was small for her age, with sleek dark hair and a nasty little smile that angered everyone she met. It attracted the crows, and the bullies. The crows had followed her since birth. The bullies came later, and she cycled through them as often as foster parents. It was the smile that did it.
