It only took Jack a few seconds to decide on his first wish .
"I want to be an incredibly powerful magic user who can bend the world to my will!" He said with a grand flourish .
Frumpkin looked at him with a bored expression . "Sorcerer, Wizard, Warlock, Priest, or Shaman?"
Jack stopped mid-pose and looked at the man, and dropped his arms . "Uhm, what"s the difference?"
Frumpkin started rubbing his temples and muttered something to himself . He threw his hands up . "You know what? Doesn"t matter . I"ll surprise you," He said, snapping his fingers .
Jack felt a sudden glow of energy course through his body . He dramatically raised his hands, and imagined a jet of fire shooting out of them as he shouted the first word that came to his head .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
"RACHMANINOFF!"
To his surprise and horror a ma.s.sive jet of flames engulfed the air around him, completely consuming the area in front of him, including Frumpkin, in a ma.s.sive fireball . Jack s.n.a.t.c.hed his hands shut, and the fire instantly dissipated, leaving a soot-blackened and very displeased looking Frumpkin floating in front of him .
"Sorry! I had no idea that would actually do anything!" Jack said, feeling sheepish .
Frumpkin glowered at him, and coughed once . He then snapped his fingers, and the soot on him dissolved .
"Yeah well, now you know," He said, and followed up with ,"so what"s your second wish?"
Jack thought for a second .
"I want to be an incredibly powerful warrior with an enchanted magic weapon I am a master of!" He said, striking another pose .
"What is it with you and striking poses when you make wishes?" Frumpkin asked, pinching the bridge of his nose .
Jack dropped the pose, embara.s.sed . "I dunno . . . just felt right, I guess . It"s what I"ve always seen characters in stories do when they"re in situations like this . "
"Well stop it . You"re giving me a headache . Now, hold still . . . " Frumpkin said, rubbing his hands together rapidly . He laid them on Jack"s shoulders .
Jack felt another sudden course of energy, and then the sudden sensation of every muscle in his body growing and swelling . He couldn"t explain it, but he suddenly felt a whole lot stronger . However, when he looked down, he saw that he was still his same chubby, flabby self, complete with grease-stained s.p.a.ce Invaders shirt and cargo shorts .
"Wait, I though you were gonna make me into a great warrior!" Jack said .
"I did," Frumpkin said, before adding, "now hold out your hand . "
"No you didn"t! I"m still super fat and out of shape!" Jack said, pointing to his stomach .
"Yes, I did . Being a great warrior doesn"t mean getting rid of being fat . There are plenty of great warriors where you"re going who are fat," Frumpkin said . "Now, if you want to use your last wish on being muscular looking, we can do that in a moment . In the meantime, hold out your hand!"
Jack sighed and held out his hand . With a sudden rush of light and energy, a long handled axe with a wide, sweeping blade appeared in his hand . The blade was covered in ornate scrollwork carvings, and the handle was wrapped in some kind of leather-like material that Jack didn"t recognize immediately .
"Whoa, cool!" Jack said, moving the axe around and inspecting it .
"I figured you"d appreciate that," Frumpkin said . He looked at Jack and asked, "What"s your last wish, kid?"
It only took Jack a moment to decide on his last wish .
"I want a harem of "hot" girls who want me!", he said .
"A harem of . . . hot girls?" Frumpkin asked, looking very confused .
"Yeah! Super ridiculously hot! With big t.i.ts!" Jack added, trying desperately not to strike another pose .
"Uhm, okay . . . ? One harem of blazing hot women coming up . . . " Frumpkin said with a befuddled expression . He muttered something under his breath to himself, snapped his fingers, and added "You"ll find your harem waiting for you just outside where you sp.a.w.n . And try not to get burned . I suggest forge gloves if you plan on touching them . "
"Alrighty! Hey . . . wait, what do you mean, burned?" Jack asked, but Frumpkin was already gone .
