How Much?

In another world, there is so much magic, the people see no reason to advance their technology. Their history has been altered as well, resulting in a barely recognizable twentieth century. Wes, however, doesn’t know anything else. All he wants is to live a peaceful life with his small family -- his ward Mica and his friend Ollie. For his part, retired assassin Ollie never wants to leave Wes and Mica, but when Ilixo shows up, Ollie may not have a choice. Ilixo, his Chieftain, has a necromancer to find and Ollie is the perfect person to go hunting. Wes has to make a choice. He can accompany Ollie and help him capture the rogue necromancer, but then they will have to leave Mica unprotected at home. Mica is vulnerable, as she is on the verge of discovering her magic gift, and needs gentle guidance to help her through the process. Or Wes can stay home, and let Ollie face the danger alone. Torn between Mica and Ollie’s best interests, Wes makes his decision. Will Wes and Ollie survive and return home? Will Wes realize his love for his best friend reaches far deeper than loyalty and respect? Will Wes and Ollie maybe even find love?

“Thank you,” Ollie says. “Sorry for the moral dilemma.”

“It’s f—well, it’s not fine, but I suppose at some point I would have tripped over it anyway.” Mica sighs dejectedly. “Where are we with the necromancer? What do we know?”

“Precious little,” Ollie mumbles.

Wes doesn’t exactly disagree, but says, “We know that the people of the village do sacrifices and ah, possibly know how to direct their power due to the necromancer. He’s somehow in their midst while being seen by few. We should act carefully, necromancers aren’t the best at hiding, so it’s concerning that this one does it so well.”

“We think we know that,” Ollie corrects. “We also think that the disappearances started happening around the time the person who worked with the necromancer became Elder.”
