Who will win? A young man from the 21st century destined to become the greatest wizard ever or a powerful ancient sorceress from an age when sword and sorcery ruled? This bizarre tale answers that question.
Ted Punter was just your ordinary nerdy college student complete with eyeglasses until he reached the age of eighteen. He was summoned by the Council of Elder Mages, a collective of the oldest and most powerful wizards. It was prophesied that Ted will become the High Archmage, the most powerful wizard of all time. The Council appointed Sean Worchestershire, a very amoral warlock of vast talent who coincidentally looks like Benedict Cumberbatch in a trench coat, to be Ted's mentor in the mystic arts. Once in a while, Sean takes Ted to an adventure that involves overcoming supernatural dangers, time travel and interdimensional journeys. This is one of those adventures.
"Hey Sean, where are we going next?" Ted Punter asked. His magickal mentor Sean Worchestershire just created a time portal in the middle of Ted's apartment. "My boy, we're going to the Arborean Age, a long-forgotten period in time when civilization was still in its infancy and swords and sorcery ruled." Sean answered. "Whoa! Just like Conan the Barbarian!?" Ted exclaimed but Sean frowned. "Actually, it's Conan the Cimmerian as in the original books by Robert E. Howard you uncultured swine but yes exactly like the world of Conan the Barbarian. Oh and guess what? You're going to vanquish an evil witch." Sean raised his hand holding a quartz crystal. The crystal projected an image of a crimson-haired woman so beautiful yet so menacing-looking. She looked no older than thirty. The exotic metal string bikini barely contained her voluptuous body. A tiara of gold adorned with ethereally gems sat on her pretty head. The beautiful woman sported a malicious smirk. Ted Punter's dick hardened at the sight of the sexy sorceress.
"This is Blair the Witch." Suddenly, the loud cawing of ravens was heard in the background. Sean cleared his throat before speaking again. "Damn ravens always making the situation sound so ominous. Anyway, she's also known as Blair of The Eternal Flame and the Crimson-Haired Ruler of Black Sand. We're going to the day when her reign of terror ends and you, as the future High Archmage, have the sole duty to defeat her in magickal combat. This is part of your trials. Off we go then!" Sean entered the portal followed by Ted. They suddenly found themselves in a marketplace in a busy city filled with people of different races and scented with manure, piss, perfumes and incense. The people, stared at the two strangers whose clothes they have never seen before.
"Welcome to the city of Black Sand, my boy! Circa the Arborean Age! I wish I could take you to a place where they serve the best meat on a stick but you got a sorceress to vanquish. Lets start by asking around." Thanks to Sean's Multilingual Charm, talking with people with a different tongue was no problem. Sean turned his attention to an old man in rags who looked no younger than sixty winters. "Excuse me, random peasant. Where can we find Blair the Witch?" Again, the large cawing of ravens was heard in the background. Sean sighed in annoyance. The old man in rags answered. "Oh gee, young man. Do you think that dark ziggurat surrounded by black flames, ominous thunder clouds above and the loud screams of a thousand suffering souls vibrating through its walls isn't obvious enough to you?" The old man pointed at the direction where the place is exactly described by the boy. It was, indeed, a dark ziggurat surrounded by black flames, ominous thunder clouds above and the loud screams of a thousand suffering souls vibrating through its walls.
"Wow, it really is a dark ziggurat surrounded by black flames, ominous thunderclouds above and the loud screams of a thousand suffering souls vibrating through its walls. Thank you, old timer. Despite you being such a smart-ass, I'm giving you a big gold coin for your help." Sean produced a big gold coin in his hand and gave it to the boy. The old man smiled. "Oh wow, thanks! Now I can invest in some NFTs!"
Ted exclaimed. "You have NFTs here!?"
"Yeah! Nice fucking tits! Off to the brothel I go!" The old man answered before hobbling towards the best brothel in Black Sand. Ted laughed while Sean groaned in annoyance. "Lets just.. go on with it."

Within a shadowy chamber, the powerful sorceress known as Blair the Witch (loud raven cawing), gazed into her crystal ball while relaxing in her bathing vat. She saw the image of the young wizard from the future and she knew right away that he will end her reign.
"So my prophesied doom has finally come. The Crone of Caernonbarg was right." The sultry sorceress rose from the waters naked as the she was on the day of her birth. All the right parts of her succulent body jiggled as she posed dramatically. "Very well, I shall ready myself. I shall use my most powerful spells to destroy the young man destined to become the High Archmage. Once I eradicate him, the name of Blair the Witch..." Cue loud raven cawing. "... shall echo throughout the ages! Mwahahahaha!!!!"
----
"Ninety-eight... ninety-nine... One hundred... good thing most of Blair's henchmen were just musclebound thugs and weak-ass cultists." Sean said after blasting the last henchman with a fire spell.
"I already took care of the traps both magickal at mundane. I still need work in metal manipulation but they were easy to disarm."
"Excellent, all we need to do..." Sean points at an iron door. "is enter through that door."
"Whoa, I can sense the witch's power!" Ted exclaimed. His dick hardened once again as he remembered her awesome tits.
"Yeah me too, lets get on with it. I'll go first."
With a gesture, Sean Worchestershire opened the heavy iron door. The two modern-day mages found themselves facing a massive throne of human bones where sat the crimson-haired witch known as Blair. She looked glorious in her golden tiara and the very miniscule steel bikini that barely covered her curvy body. Ted Punter's eyes opened wide and almost drooled with his dick straining so hard against his pants.
Blair the Witch (loud cawing) stood from her macabre throne and addressed to the the young magician. "I know you, Ted Hunter, wizard from the distant future. The Crone of Caernonbarg has prophesied my downfall at your hands. Well guess what? You won't find me easy to defeat me!" Blair raised a hand above her head and a huge fireball formed. "Have at thee, wizard!"
The sorceress threw the fireball at Ted but the young wizard raised both arms and countered it. "Counterspell!" Ted yelled. The huge fireball dissipated into nothing. Ted coughed from the smoke but he lived unburnt.
Blair the Witch (loud cawing again) was astounded. "By Motavia's Flames! The magicks of the future is this strong!" She thought. "No matter. I shall turn him into a toad and stomp him to death!" Blair made a strange exotic gesture with her hands. A purple glow formed around Ted Punter before disappearing. Other than that, nothing happened to Ted. He remained human. He raised his left arm to reveal a silver bracelet. "Anti-Transmutation Charm. Very useful." He said with a grin.
The witch became furious with frustration. "Thrice damn you, Ted Hunter! Now you deal with my undead minions!" Blair raised her arms and spoke an eldritch incantation. The huge throne of bones collapsed. The bones on the floor started to reform into a dozen skeletons. The skeletons took weapons that were hidden behind the throne and armed themselves. "Skeleton warriors, kill Ted Punter!" Blair yelled. The boney soldiers shambled towards the direction of Ted Punter.
