It might have seemed a bit risky to call out Joshaya. He was the person I’d been trying to avoid, after all. If him catching up with me unravelled Maurice’s power, meeting him could kill me. But that was also why it was safe to do so. If this version of Arthur was really Joshaya, then I’d already been in his presence, even told him I was dead, and was still alive. If I was wrong, it wouldn’t change anything, and if I was right, as I apparently was, I should already be dead. Unless there was more…-

It was too far away to be absolutely sure it was the Elf drifting towards Gorgoth. In a fantasy world, there could be all sorts of explanations for what it was. It could be a very unusual cloud formation, and still kill us all. When you’re living in a regular world governed by rigid laws of science, you take the basic things for granted. Gravity pulls down, sun feels hot, water works best when it isn’t full of industrial poison. You look up in the sky and see a cloud, you know it’s moisture and…

We headed out of the temple with two of our members in wheelbarrows. Normally this would require some explaining. People don’t just push around unconscious bodies in gardening equipment, unless it’s a stag do that’s going very well. In this case, however, we were aided by the presence of druids, the local religious weirdos who everyone did their best to ignore (in favour of their preferred flavour of supernatural worship). Coupled with the fact we were coming out of the temple everyone believed…

If Arthur was hooked up to everyone back in the temple, and could regulate the flow of unnatural longevity, he would be a powerful ally. And, like all allies, a potential enemy. But that was something to worry about in the future. I put it on my to-do list. “No one would get hurt,” I said, “and it would only be a temporary measure. You could wake them up once I get my friends out of there. Deal?” My plan was brilliant. It combined the humanity of not hurting anyone, with the sanctity of not…

“Destroy? You mean as in kill? You want to kill Peter.” The voice, for all its unsettling menace—hard to come across as anything else when you’re emanating from a stone coffin—had a tinge of genuine shock to it. He was horrified by the prospect of what I’d suggested. “Oh, I couldn’t do that. Absolutely not.” Disappointing. “You don’t control dead people, then? You aren’t a necromancer?” “I told you, I’m a vivimancer.” “I’m sorry, I’ve never heard of that before.…

I didn’t think being dead would keep me so busy. I had the old gods waiting for me to come back and rescue them, I had god of solo play out here, acting very suspicious, I had my party keeping all sorts of secrets from each other for the greater good, and then I had Peter up to no good whatsoever. To be fair, I did now have a fairly OP ability. If I ever figured out how to use it properly, I’d be unstoppable. By which I mean I’d be running in the opposite direction and nobody would be able to stop…

There were four lights in all. Three smaller one, and the big one that seemed to do all the talking. The red balls hanging in the air suggested eyes, but not in a Sauron ‘I see everything’ kind of way, more like a HAL ‘Hello, Dave’ kind of way. A harmonised version of There’s a rumour, strongly denied, that HAL, in the movie But it was never the hardware that was going to be the problem for future mankind. If you made the same kind of movie today, the insane AI watching your every move would…

I’m not used to feeling powerful. I’m not even used to feeling refreshed after a good night’s sleep. So having the power of a god flowing into me was quite the novelty. Really got the blood flowing. It wasn’t really a specific godlike vibe I could put my finger on, more of a general increase in energy. To the point I felt like I should go out and do stuff. Go for a run, maybe. Head down to the gym. I know, potent stuff. Pope Joshaya was having trouble turning around and telling me to stop…

Jenny was not happy. She was the sort of person who prided herself on not insisting others do what she wanted. She presented herself as a supportive partner willing to back me up in whatever retarded idea I came up with. She’d tell me it was retarded, but that wouldn’t stop her having my back. Which is cool. People should only tell you not to do something if they have a better option. One they know works due to experience and wisdom. Not because they think it will help them whore karma on…
