Today's #flashfiction #SpringtimeForMagic

“Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.”
Pee-Wee's Playhouse*


Today the Internet was down for the day because we were switching phones and such. I now have one of them fancy smart phone doohickys. We actually had to use my phone as a hotspot because the normal Internet busted. Anyway onto the flash fiction!




Springtime For Magic



        “It's springtime woohoo!” shouted Darrin the sorcerer. He was ready for some serious summoning. In his magical land magic followed life. So when winter ended and the amount of life in the world increased so did the magic. And so did the power of wizards. Springtime was power to him.
        Darrin frolicked among the flowers. Such pretty flowers lined the courtyard of his massive castle. He planted them just so they could show him that springtime arrived. Just to show him when magic became its strongest.  Oh, the butterflies! They flapped so nicely, yellow, pink and a rare species with a turquoise hue. The fact they graced his garden meant he could summon the strongest demons to do his bidding!
       Darrin threw his old wizard's hat in the air in joy. The old, brown ragged thing flopped in the gentle springtime wind. Springtime wind didn't quite have the strength to keep such a heavy thing afloat for long. Darrin wished for immortality upon a genie he found. (Found if you count raiding another wizard's treasure trove) and his age showed in his wrinkled skin. Should have wished for eternal youth right? But with springtime here and the clouds, gentle and nice magic was strong enough he could cast the spells to patch up his youth. Maybe find a maiden? Why should the dragon-slaying knights get all the princesses?
     Oh, springtime, springtime, springtime for magic!
