**_MAGIC_** comes with a price.
Are you willing to pay?
The fee of a soul
but a soul isn’t owned
nor blood or bone
or fleshly home
pay with your fate, mortals
the staff becomes serpent
then Aaron’s bloom
pay your price to the prince
cast tomorrow to pharaoh
to Horus and Ra
wade to the Nile
see it red again
write your fury on the reeds
your piece on papyrus
on sandstone sphinx
pry it fr...

My art long dormant, I began to create one day
And long into the night
My lines were fluid my colors sublime.
Shapes and forms filled the page and trailed to the edge of the handmade paper
The texture it provided enchanting the piece
I was high and solitary and felt like I were home again
The light on my studio steady and bright
Moonbeams through ...
_“Magic has a price, are you willing to pay it? Luca?”_

“Magic comes with a price, are you willing to pay?”
The impossibly deep voice kept rumbling through Elizabeth’s head as she splashed through the damp cobblestone alley. Darting furtive glances around her, she hugged her shawl tighter. It seemed as though every shaded corner or dark alcove held those eyes.

She walked away as fast as she could. She didn’t want to get caught up in this again. She knew that the police would be on her within the minute they saw this. They always showed up at her house.
Surya made her way to h...

Magic comes with a price.
Are you willing to pay?...
I ran down the street looking for anywhere to hide but all I saw were locked up houses. I needed to find somewhere to disappear into before the police officers caught me again.
Why did I have to punch that guy? I'm so stupid when I'm angry. He really deserved it though, he had tried to steal my purse from right off my shoulder. But all anyone, including the police officers, saw was me punching hi...
Magic comes with a price.
Are you willing to pay?
If you want my advice,
You should just stay away!
You’ll have to learn Latin

“Are you ready?”
Liz grinned in the darkness. “I’ve been ready since you met me.”
Uunz snorted. “You know that isn’t true.”
Though it was too dark to see him, Liz flicked his ear. He yelped, and she laughed. “I’ve waited a long time for this, darling.” A twisted smirk crept up her face at the red she knew was filling his cheeks.
