Sir Belvedere studied the board. "You have me at checkmate," he said.
The dragon inclined her head. "You fought well, Sir Knight."
The knight stood. "I love what you've done. The kaleidescope of colors enhances the cavern visually."
"Thank you. A fairy taught me the spell. Until next time?"
"I battled valiantly with the dragon. The townsfolk are safe for another month." The knight paused. "Next time, shall I bring scones?"
"That," replied the dragon, "would be lovely."

"You deleted your planet?" asked Azrafel. "Can't you restore if from a backup?"
"I haven't backed up since the Mesozoic Era!" Ariel wailed. "I was on the verge of civilization! Domesticated crops! Cities! All gone!"
"Well," said Azrafel, "it's not so bad. Dinosaurs are pretty cool...."

"You wish me to summon and bind a water spirit to operate your new drawbridge?"
"Indeed!" exclaimed Duke Ruben. "We were hoping you could donate your spellwork for free."
Medea raised an eyebrow. "Why would I do that?"
"Everyone will marvel that Medea the sorceress created this wonder! Think of the exposure!"
"I think," she said, "that transforming you to a frog would net me equal exposure, yes?"
The duke swallowed hard. "Is 1,000 gold guilders good?"

The swordsmith inhaled sharply.
"Is it bad?" the Hero asked.
"This blade can't be repaired."
"But it's the Blade of Fate!"
"Sorry."
"It's destined to help me kill the Dark Lord!"
"Old Runsy?"
"Runsy?"
"I went to school with him. Did you know he's mortally allergic to cats?"

"You've freed me," declared the small winged lady emerging from the ornate bottle I'd recently purchased at a spooky garage-sale from the gothic manor at the end of the lane, "What wish may I grant?"
I thought long and hard, while also struggling with the fact magic was either real or I had lost my mind.

It's been great.
