“The dawn bloomed brilliantly, its warmth driving away the wind chill atop the ramparts. Both Warrick and his gryphon steed were under no illusions, their army was far outnumbered. Still, they knew that even if this was to be their last battle, they would fight as they had many times before: as one, closer than brothers. If the gods chose today as their last day in the mortal realm, they would see each other on the other side, feasting in the halls of their forebears. The new sun’s light invigorated their spirits. It was truly a fine day to die.“

“My Superhero Mission is to Re-Enchant the World. It’s all too easy these days to feel disenchanted, as though Magic and Wonder are dead and gone, encased in a tomb made of jaded cynicism and modern materialism. Magic and Wonder are still here of course, waiting to be acknowledged. Re-enchantment is attuning to the humming Soul of the World. It’s revealing the hidden layers of meaning that lie just below the surface of things. It’s playing with possibilities. It’s the feeling of a before unseen world crystalizing right before your eyes. Of peering into that unknown yet familiar world, then having the feeling that something is peering back.”
