The Midnight Alleyway Indroduction
WELL I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED!! TMA (not related to the Magnus archives, sorry) is my most recent, incredibly confusing, au that I have started writing (cough sort of cough)
It’s a Hermitcraft 8 + Life Series inspired fic, which takes place in a world where magic is nothing more than a myth, and people have moved on to more modern and more interesting things like… I dunno, video games?
But despite popular belief, magic still exists, inside locations hidden behind illusions or puzzles. The Midnight Alleyway is one of these places, buzzing with hybrid refugees and other strange beings. Safe from humans, safe from destruction.
Nearly safe from destruction. After all, people are going missing, magic is glitching out, and the moon shouldn’t be this close.
Something was going wrong.
Characters who appear in the first chapter:
Scar is a human, a painter and an illustrator, who on one fateful day at the market, finds a small blue flower and decides to keep it, only to be pickpocketed by someone right after a catch up with Bdubs, but luckily, he is able to follow them. …wait, why do they have feathers?
Bdubs is a human, a painter, and a florist, who’s one of Scar’s closest friends. He runs a flower shop near the centre of the city, and people claim he has some sort of magic with plants, though he humbly denies anything of the sort.
Grian works at the Magical Menagerie in the Mightnight Alleyway. He’s a cursed hybrid, having small tattered black wings and no memory of his past. Both of his siblings are also cursed. His best friend Mumbo is missing, and the world is literally falling apart. He’s been tasked to find a glowing blue flower somewhere in the human city, which is one of the keys to unlocking something important, and since it was in the possession of Scar, he pickpockets him. ((Grian has also been named after the Architect))
Jimmy is Grian’s younger brother. He helps out Tango at the forgery, but because of his curse, he can’t do much. His curse makes things constantly worse for him, causing him to end up in deadly situations. Everything is literally out to get him. He has no memory of his past. He accidentally lets Scar into the Midnight Alleyway because he thought he was an injured hybrid trapped outside. Grian gets really angry with him for this.
Other characters that appear who I’m not allowed to give spoiler info about include:
Pearl (Death), Gem (Lightkeeper), Tango (blacksmith), BigB (guardian) AND MANY MORE!!! LIKE EVERYONE!!! ALSO SOME EMPIRES MAYBE!!! BUT AGAIN, SPOILERS!
Anyone interested? Because if you want to know more I’d love to keep talking
….should I tag my taglist? ….nahhhhhh they wouldn’t care about this
