CMGQ: Parallel

LostDeviljho · Oct 5, 2017

Demon attacks town.

Girl becomes Magical Girl.

Demon is defeated, girl goes on to be a hero.

A story, a myth, a legend.

It's a nice tale, isn't it?

Pity it isn't yours.

No, yours is a different story, parallel to the first.

Where hers is a quest to bring Peace, yours is a journey to wage War.

You do have a slight Demon problem right now, though. Should probably do something about that.

What are you?

[] The Promise of Victory

[] The Road to Conquest

[] The Prayer for a Hero

[] The Chaser of War

Hello people! Welcome to CMGQ: Parallel! If the title isn't clear enough about it, this is a spinoff of Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest, designed to run parallel to the main story (if a bit delayed, time-wise).
Everything from CMGQ's main thread is canon to this, and stuff from this is… prooobably canon to the main quest, but double-check before using this for citations or anything.

Now then, let's see how y'all do.

Next few posts are reserved, I'll say when it's free to post.

A story, a myth, a legend.

Hee.

Mechanics and background are both definitely canon. The events of this quest are intended to be canon to the main quest, but I can't discount the possibility of you guys throwing a wrench in my machinations.

I have changed my mind. A Prayer answered by a Hero sounds rather interesting to me.
