Change – Lyla Oweds

“Hey there.” Anthony dropped a book onto the table and slid into the seat opposite mine. “What are you so moody about? I thought you were about to jump that guy.” “Not really.” I closed Longsword of Love and slid my notebook over the cover. This distraction would pull me further away from the harrowing adventures of Johnson, the noble, yet ill-advised knight, and Guinevere, the young noble maiden he was sworn to protect.

It’d been coming up to a good part too: the two heroes were travelling through the moors to slay a dastardly dragon and everything. Dragons really were violent creatures. But that would have to wait. “I’m not doing anything,” I told him, trying to ignore the knowing gleam in his eyes. “Can I help you?” I’d hoped he would say yes, just to give me a purpose. I could always read more later. “I’m waiting for Brayden.” Anthony glanced at the doors that lead from the coffee shop into the library.

“And you looked lonely.” “I-I’m not lonely.” I pulled the novel toward me. My face grew warm as the hair prickled at the back of my neck. For some reason being near Anthony made me feel guilty, which led to me being rude. But he hadn’t done anything wrong and seemed interesting and polite, so I wasn’t sure why I was so shy.

Julian had commented about wanting the two of us to get closer. And I wanted to. None of this made any sense at all. But my abruptness didn’t deter the necromancer. “I had a break between classes,” he said, leaning back in his seat. His casual but confident demeanor and the way he crossed his legs was so much like his brother that my apprehension faded.

“And Julian asked me to check in on you.” “Oh.” I frowned down at my coffee. So, he was only talking to me as a favor? “But more than that…”

It’s an occult- based science that was popular during the Heian period in Japanese history. The most popular practitioner was Abe no Seimei. Their magic is drawn from the underworld. They are also fortunetellers, tarot masters, and can bind a shikigami to them to act as their worldly familiar. Shikigami — A shikigami is a spirit guide, of sorts, that is present on Earth through a contract with an onmyoji. They have a human form but prefer to take on their animal shape in this realm.

They act as an intermediary between the underworld and this realm on behalf of their onmyoji. Necromancer — In this universe, the necromancer retains most of their original definition with one change: they cannot summon spirits. Necromancers deal with the physical side of death and the memories that are tied to living and dead things. Because a person’s essence is tied to the spirit as well as the physical body, necromancers can dream-hop and manipulate emotions.

Fae — Much of the original fae folklore is kept, including the appearance of the Seelie and Unseelie court. In this world, fae act as the intermediary between this world and the underworld. They live between the two, and their specialty is mediumship—communication with spirits. Witch — A witch in The Grimm Cases and Alpha are much like a hearth/house/green witch of today.
