The gates forcefully slammed shut, leaving the young adventurer thrown outside briefly rattled by the sound.
“Well, you were some help in there, Lili.”
How was I supposed to help? I 'm just an axe.
“A magic demon axe that talks to me in my head,” Jax corrected.
A nearby guard noticed Jax still standing outside the gate and pointed his spear threateningly.
Demon. Demons generally aren 't very helpful, you know.
“I hadn 't noticed Lilith, thank you for pointing that out to me. Could you also tell me what color the sky is?”
If you knew that, why ask? You humans are such a bother.
An exasperated sigh reminded the other guard of Jax’s prolonged presence, and resulted in a quick shove towards town.
“You 're bound to help the Elricsons, my

“Yeah. I need to find Justin and Angel first though.”
The couple across the street looked similar, but Justin never got handsy with Angel in public unless he was totally hammered. A chuckle escaped Jax’s lips when the sweethearts finally made their way towards the local inn.
Ugh, those lovebirds are all that 's despicable about the human race.
“Meaning they 're good people?”
Is that what you would call it?
“In my book, at least.”
Your book also says that it’s the axe’s fault that you don’t have a job.
“How many times do we have to go over this?”
Until you stop blaming me for your problems.
“Not until you stop causing them. Now where did Justin say they’d be again?” The Tavern, like always?
“The lake, I’m supposed to meet them at the lake. They probably went to the tavern first, but even those two wouldn’t meet with a kid in a tavern.” I hardly think that a 16 year-old counts as a baby goat. Then again, it is you, so…
Jax responded with an eye roll for the ages.
“Are you done?” Not quite, but it can wait.
“Good. they’re probably done drinking by now anyway.” Are they ever done drinking?
“Technically, yes. Otherwise, no. But in their defense, they have a lot of reasons to drink. Justin’s brother, whom he practically raised, found a wife and gave up the family business, Angel’s siblings are running amok somewhere, and from what I’ve heard shapeshifting does a number on your insides.” Why haven’t they retired then? Gone to live in a cottage somewhere and be
“Let’s go people! We need to find her!” yelled an unseen guard to the mass of
“To a mystery movie and then a mansion with a bunch of people we don't know,” she replied.
“I was at the old house, you know the one in the meadow where I was found, right?”
“I’m Anna and these are my friends Paisley and Posa. You are in Clear Lake, Iowa “ Anna informs him
“Yeah, he said he was gonna visit George Eacker at a play.” One of them replied.
"I know who you are, Miss Maxine," Luna said. "I had talked to your mother before, please take a seat." She turns her head to me, I was met with a scary pair of blue
“Who did you get to do the work Alessandra and how did you find them? Pretty clear what I’m asking sweetheart.” I look into her eyes waiting for answers.
“I bet he’s back at the row boat where we were going to meet. Come on.” Matthew trotted off toward the beach side of the island.
“Do you think.. we.. can find somewhere to stay?” Looking outside, it seemed like they were in the middle of nowhere. He didn’t even know what state they were in at this point.
"So what did you bring with you, and we are going to Maxie's County Bar. You know where that is right, and you didn't hear that from me."
“Stop,” said Jen as she shook her head back and forth. “You’re my best friend, and I don’t want to mess that up.”
"Ok I think that is everything" the woman muttered to herself. She had honey colored hair with dull violet
“Probably Bristol Head. I haven’t been up there and I’m nervous. Don’t want to get lost.”
When it comes to the archetypal hero’s journey, one might see the mystical weapon as merely a box that needs to be checked off, but the mystical weapon of a hero is much more important than that. It serves to continue the plot of the story by jumpstarting many parts along the hero’s journey, many times it is the cause of the hero’s unusual birth. The mystical weapon is what enables a hero to overcome the insurmountable odds and accomplish their trials. A mystical weapon, is not just a tool that the hero harnesses, but their very identity. The mystical weapon is the very thing that makes the hero a hero. The mystical weapon is an extension of the Hero’s self. It is their defining characteristic and the shining beacon that shows to their world exactly why they are special. A hero without their weapon is powerless, and becomes nothing more than a common man.
The soft tranquility of the atmosphere suddenly shatters with a forceful slam of the door.
