[WP] You wake up in your bed. Still half asleep, you sit up, stretch your arms, and begin to step out of bed. But suddenly — WHAM!! You run into a wall. But the wall is supposed to be on the other side of the bed. You look around and see that everything in your living space is mirrored.

The Dwarves always thought they were hardier than humans, the elves thought they had better reflexes than humans and the orcs thought they had greater strength than the humans. But they'd never heard about the wonders of adrenaline, before.

It was supposed to be a simple walk through the park, but then the babysitter's charge found a metal rod. It was like a wand, though it could do more than magic; it could bend reality.

I knew what it was the second I picked it up. I know that sounds bonkers, but I did. I didn't know anything about archery, but I don't think there was any way to mistake an arrow with red and pink fletching and with a heart shaped glass arrowhead for anything other than what it could be: one of Cupid's arrows.

"Why the HELL do I live where the air hurts my face?", I muttered to myself, trudging through the February snow. A cold wind froze my cheeks and my eyes watered above the scarf across my face.

It was nothing more than a faint gold glimmer tucked low in the dirt, half-shielded from the snow by a juniper tree. If I hadn't been hunting coins for the last month, I doubt I would have seen it. I tromped over to the bush, pulled my glove out of my pocket and yanked it free. A long span of gold-veined wood, cardina...

"So...you found the arrow, didn't you?" I should have expected it. I read Death Note, I touched an arrow I knew was run by a Greek god, the second I grab the arrow, Cupid will show up.

As my fingers touched the arrow a sudden influx of repressed classics lessons came back. Here it was. One of Eros' arrows, immaculate fletching, wickedly sharp heart shaped point.
