Magical Bestiary | Tuesday, period 2

"Right. So," Bob started. "Quite a few of these classes have dealt with how to determine what a magical being wants. What to do and not to do when dealing with them. But what do you do if there is no dealing with them? If what they want is you, dead. Or if they simply want to go from here to there, and you're in their way and they'll kill you regardless?"

He shrugged. "Not everything magical is intelligent, after all. So, since you all seem to love the more practical demonstrations," or keep trying to chase them down and tame them, "I thought we'd do that again."

He gestured, and the Danger Shop was suddenly a city, and at the end of the block were a wave of zombies.

In the distance were some large stomping noises. "That'll be the giants," Bob explained.

The shriek something overhead punctuated his words. "Not sure what that is," he added cheerfully. "We never did find out exactly. Enjoy!"

Sorry, students; your teacher has decided to be a little shit today.

That wasn't even a choice. "Seriously?" Dante said, pulling a face at the shambling mob up ahead. And then he looked up.

The symbol on his back glowed. Rebellion shimmered into existence, Dante already reaching back to grab it by the hilt. "Hey!" he called. "You ever heard of 'the bigger they are, the harder they fall'?"

Fine. It'd been too long since he got some real exercise.

And the shrieking things? He was always more comfortable fighting in the air, anyway.

Huh. Live and learn. The students might or might not learn anything, but Bob certainly was.
