The Curse [Episode 48]

by

Three apparent teenagers stared at the screaming cat-girl through a shimmering pool of water, looking perplexed.

"What happened?" somebody asked.

"I'm not sure," came the answer. "I cannot explain this. The 'curse' we put on him...her...it...isn't supposed to do anything like this."

"Perhaps," a new voice said, sounding irritated. "If you had bothered to do some research on your subject you would have realized a few things...like the fact that your 'subject' already had six curses?"

"Six?"

"A curse to attract both extremely good and extremely bad luck, inherited from Kishijoten, the Japanese goddess of Luck, a few generations back. The Neko-Ken, from his father, which as you know is a rather over-protective spirit bond to the individual in question. A Jusenkyo curse. A curse to attract water that is really an undeveloped elemental capability resulting from an distant relationship to a dragon. A curse to attract random, powerful martial artists. A curse that makes him talk before he thinks. And now you add this last curse."

• Mimi Masters stepped off her broom and glared at each of the apprentice witches. "Magic is not to be toyed with!"
• The shadowed figure growled. "The curses are beginning to mix and become part of the subject, he will soon be a threat to my plans."
• "It wasn't our fault!" one of the teenagers protested. "We didn't choose him!"
• "All we had to do was put a minor, temporary curse on someone," one of the teenagers groans. "And we pick the most cursed individual on the planet, we'll never get our licenses this way!"
• "Who's idea was this anyway?" Dr. Diggers asked.
