I wasn’t given the opportunity to say goodbye to the Popovs. After the lights flicked on, about twenty gnoll guards flooded the room. They took the sharpie from me and collected the other two. I had to remain in the now-featureless production room as the twins were ushered back to their space.

“Do you think that was her real name? Future Hunter?” Donut asked as we watched the team slowly approach the castle. The castle’s alarm was a constant, pounding ah-luga, ah-luga. Apparently that particular pattern meant attackers at the main gate. All defenders converge at the front.<...
