It’s the final day of my annual writing challenge and the last day of the MileHi Con so I am exhausted!

Hopefully you, dear reader, had a lovely weekend! Without further ado, mainly because I am so tired, the next prompt is:

A Brando Sando magic system that fucks…
In space.

From Patrick Barb

The purple-eyed orphan, who was wary of the universe but definitely fated to change it somehow, sumersaulted through the zero-G. The undead spike star chased her, spinning out gruesome tentacles in an attempt to catch her.

The space station rumbled, klaxxons roaring, alarms flashing. Steam hissed angrily from broken pipes while air vented out multiple hull breaches.

Fated Orphan dodged around a corner, desprete to get to the escape pods. The rest of the crew was dead. She was a recent orphan and had yet to find the motley crew who would teach her about the universe around her and help her on her path to heroism.

Ahead, the corridor crunched shut as a hull breach caused it to suck into itself and Fated Orphan was trapped.

Fear in her heart, she turned. She was definitely just a normal girl so was doomed in the face of the monstrosity.

Suddenly the general comms channel crackled, static screaming.

“The metal!” cried a voice, definitely belonging to the wise mentor who would teach her about a magic system the reader was eager to learn about.

Fated Orphan saw vials of test materials floating out of the lab close by — vials containing metorite samples and space metals.

She grabbed one.

“You have to snort it!” continued the voice, laying out a way of consumption that was legally distinct.

Fated Orphan was hesistant but for plot reasons she did it.

Snorting up some lime green metorite, Fated Orphan felt the power flow through her. Psy powers like she had never known. With just some sassy finger guns, she blew the spike ball monster apart.

Thus began her fantasy journey to save the universe from the evil emperor!

OKay, forgive me for the sarcasm in the story haha. Again, I am pretty tired! I think i hit a lot of the fantasy tropes, let me know if I missed any!
