A dark, mysterious figure peered into a shimmering orb, her hands delicately cradling it. Within the orb's depths, an image of a devastating explosion flickered before her. With a wave of her hand and murmured incantations from an ancient era, the enigmatic language resonated, even in this world. The image transformed, akin to a captivating video that replayed the events leading up to the explosion. Amidst the chaos, one face stood out, impossible for her to ignore. "Oztanfil..." she whispered the name,…

King Adrian shook George's hand before sitting down, breathing a great sigh of relief, he was very close to bowing to the order Oz, but he was happy he didn't, although, in actuality, it wouldn't really make any difference since George would be happy as long he looked powerful in this situation. "King Adrian, I hope this friendship between my city and your kingdom will remain this way for a long time." He said before returning his hand to his pocket. Adrian nodded, "Of course." He replied before…

"And so what if it's me?" George said as he walked towards King Adrian, "You disrespect my messenger, yet you are now lowering your head? Why does it matter that you are respecting me now?" King Adrian retreated before his back hit the table behind him. Captain Roland was quick to action, pulling out his sword and pointing at George. George's face turned sour as he saw the sword in front of his face, "You think, if I wanted your King dead or anyone of you to perish, I have to go through you? Move;…

George stood still for a while with his back still straight, looking down on both guards, his mind racing to come up with an explanation. "Excellent." He replied. The guards raised their eyebrows, confused by the one-word remark their 'Captain' gave them, before looking at each other, not knowing how to respond. George sighed, "You passed; I was testing the both of you to see whether you were still focusing. If you had left outside, I would have fired both of you. And don't worry about the King;…

As Michael followed Captain Roland into the castle, one of the guards couldn't help but whisper, "Why do we have to treat this monkey-like royalty? He is just a monkey. Sure, he has some connections with Oz, but he couldn't be that close, right?" "I mean, it's weird, but it isn't a good idea to question this kind of thing while doing our job." Michael couldn't hear what they were saying and hummed while he walked through the hallway to the King's throneroom. But Captain Roland heard everything; he…

Veridiana was just like any other older kingdom from Earth, but the laws and the system of governing that they implement could be considered out of the ordinary when compared to the norm on the planet that George was currently in. Most other countries have potent wizards and witches to protect them, but Veridiana was a country that cultivated wizards to protect them instead of having wizards to protect them and having the citizens treat them like kings. And this has allowed them to be more…

"Good job acting there." The monkey said as he climbed through the window. George was still sitting on the floor, "I need to get out of here... Hey monkey, bring me back to New York!" The monkey shook his head, "I can't help you; the only person who knows how to get there is Oz himself. And don't call me a monkey! I have a name, and it's Michael." "That's great. That's just great. Now I will have to depend on some guy who takes his job so recklessly; that he will leave a whole city at risk of…

"Please... please..." George kept muttering. "Wake up!" George heard a loud high pitched voice beside him and felt a pair of small hands pushing him. George opened his eyes; the pain in his chest was no more; he felt fresh, different. And the pain in his back was gone. He looked around and jumped back as he saw a monkey beside him. "What the..." He whispered as he looked at the creature that had brown fur around its body, and although standing straight as if it was human, it was clear it wasn't.…

Hearing this answer, his jaw clenched at an instant, but his lawyer instincts kicked in before he uttered the next word. It was important not to make a mistake speaking in a moment like this; even when facing death, it was essential to appear unflinching. "I don't know what you're suggesting here…" he uttered clearly. "Oh, you don't?" Rusty raised his switchblade; George's eyes moved from the man's eye towards the weapon. He didn't do it intentionally, but it was as if the muscles around his eyes…

He lay on the ground, struggling to move an inch, but his body wouldn't budge; it was old and frail. But through that water puddle, he saw the figure with a black robe and a scythe on its right hand reflected on the water, but as he looked away from the water, the figure was not there. It existed only in the reflected world. He knew this because this figure had been following him for his entire life, Through the reflection of the water, the figure raised its hand and pointed with its…
