PREFACE
The first chapters here used to be part of just one giant book that was New Magic Brothers. A giant book which I've now split up into 3, this being the last of the 3. Mostly I did this splitting because I just wanted to be finished with "something" (I was starting to approach Lord of The Rings level of words for a novel!), but also because the story you're about to read here will involve some great escalations, one might say, and so there is something of an underlying new arc coming into being here, after the multiple things that've been building up in book 1 now suddenly start to matter.
Well, I won't say any more of about that, I guess you'll just have to see what I mean 😁
THE STORY
Rum has really started to settle in at his brother's tattoo shop.
He's started to make a lot of friends, for instance. Of course, some of those come from an involuntarily starting position, such as the prisoner Veish. And some owe their whole existence to him, such as his skeleton daughter-of-sorts White Rose. And some are friends mostly because mages are hard to come by, such as his first dungeon team. But also, some of them actually kind of like him, while they both have things to share with each other, such as the green-elves of The Great Spruce.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
But Rum's eccentrisities are about to come back and bite him in the butt. For some people are starting to take notice of this single presumably insignificant returnee to The City of Ermos. Some people who, in fact, may not like him at all.
What will Rum do about that?
