Where did you come from?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI am Thanos from a magical kingdom.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cFrom your ancient past before known time.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBack when magic ruled and it was mine.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIf you are writing about magic, get it right.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI&#8217;ve come to correct that. Don\u2019t get uptight.\u201d<br \/>\nWith that he pointed his wand at the writer.<br \/>\nZap!! Everything changed. It was night here.<br \/>\n\u201cWhere am I. What happened?\u201d he asked.<br \/>\n\u201cYou\u2019re in my time. You are way in the past.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI will show you why magic didn\u2019t last.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI will show you how magic really works.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAlso, how we live with all its quirks.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBut, why? Why are you doing all this?\u201d<br \/>\nHe was scared. About to piss.<br \/>\n\u201cI wanted you to know such a time was actual.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIf writing about it, you can get things factual.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThis is insane. I must be dreaming.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI will change your mind about that.\u201d Scheming.<br \/>\n\u201cHere there is a war going on now.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBetween us and the evil wizards.\u201dHe scowled.<br \/>\n\u201cI want to zap them and turn them to dust.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat would excite me like you would over lust.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey will torture kids and rape a goat.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI would like to turn them all to smoke.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHow long has this war been going on?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSince the cradle of creation. It goes on and on.\u201d<br \/>\nHe whipped out a map and pointed to it.<br \/>\n\u201cTheir kingdom is here. They need a ship.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201c Much water separates them and us.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey won\u2019t fly that far. They have no guts.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWizards can fly? I thought you used a dragon?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThey exist in this time but, no one can ride them.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cTo fly long distances takes much magical energy.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt is far better to wait till they come near me.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cMy sources say an attack will happen tonight.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI brought you here so you can observe the fight.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhat? Is it safe? I could be killed!!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYou will be safe. So it is willed.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI won\u2019t be fighting alone.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAll wizards will fight to defend the throne.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cEvery spell that is known to us will be used.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe same with them. Watch as it ensues.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYou will be protected by a powerful shield.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cDo not worry. It will not yield.\u201d<br \/>\nThe writer could not believe what he was hearing.<br \/>\nHe kept shaking his head but, things were not clearing.<br \/>\n\u2018This is total madness\u2019 he thought to himself.<br \/>\nI am surprised I am not a fairy or an elf.<br \/>\n\u201cStay here a moment. I will be right back\u201d<br \/>\nThe wizard left and that was that.<br \/>\nHe looked around and he was at his desk.<br \/>\n\u2018What the hell\u2019 he thought. \u2018What a mess.\u2019<br \/>\n\u2018I must have fallen asleep?\u2019 \u2018But, it seemed so real.\u2019<br \/>\nAfter that \u2018dream\u2019, he didn\u2019t know how to feel.<br \/>\nIt did give him some good ideas for a new story.<br \/>\nHe could write about a wizard war, you see.<br \/>\nBut, he actually didn\u2019t \u2018dream\u2019 about the war.<br \/>\nStay tuned.
