Nasilain:
Traveling between worlds always filled Nasilain with dread. All those hipsters with their friendly smiles and hundreds of questions. What was the last movie she watched? What music did she like? What country was she from? If Nasilain could use magic in this world, she would've blocked the flow of calcium ions in their jaw muscles just to shut them up.
The scientific knowledge she could find on the internet, using the free WiFi in one of the local coffee shops, forced her to tolerate the occasional interrogation. But even hipsters were better than Seth, the beefy police officer that caught her teleporting. Apparently, she wasn't allowed to lie to him, which was fine as long as he didn't ask about the clone.
Seth:
Seth had seen his share of bad luck. On normal days, it manifested as a shoulder injury that got him discharged from his SEAL team or wounding a civilian while on the police force.
But landing in a parallel dimension with elves in neon green pants, a cute mad scientist with magical abilities, and swarms of carnivorous fairies? That was a first. At least Nasilain promised not to use her magic to split atoms.
Content warning: This book DOES NOT contain zombie fairies. Everything else is fair game, though.
