Passing Torches (plus challenge)
Re: Passing Torches (plus challenge)
#5
Ten-year-old Harry Potter wasn't sure what to make of all this.
The man who'd appeared from nowhere in his closet -- or from the Back of Beyond, as he'd claimed -- had vanished again, leaving only a book behind. A library book, from the look of it, with one of those covers they put on books that had begun to fall to bits, the title embossed in almost silvery print:
SO YOU WANT TO BE A WIZARD
H. Hearnssen


"Just who do you think you are, breaking in here?!" Utena Tenjou asked the shadowed man, the sword of her heart pointed toward his. "If you're one of his minions --"
"I am most emphatically not from the Ends of the Earth," he replied with a half-visible smirk, "nor would I do his dirty work on a bet. In fact, I'm here to give you a bit of assistance against him." He nodded toward the other side of the room, a gesture that utterly failed to shift Utena's gaze.
"...There's a sword here," Anthy informed her, "that wasn't here when we went to sleep."
"I have one of my own, thank you."
"Oh, indeed," the shadowy figure nodded. "But that one, though it is of no great use as a blade, has a power that you will find most amusing indeed." At Utena's raised eyebrow, he went on: "In the hands of one who is brave and sure, it reveals the Truth and destroys all lies."
A wicked smile made itself known on Utena's face. "...I think I like that."

"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!"
