Chapter 34: No Shortcuts

Warlock Ch 34. No Shortcuts

Damian, still buzzing with questions about the magical world, leaned forward, curiosity lighting up his eyes. "So, what about the government? I mean, is there a magical version of it? Like, someone keeping all this chaos in check?"

Cassius nodded, leaning back in his chair, the shadows playing across his face. "There is. The magical world has its own governing body. It's more behind the scenes, of course. You won't hear about it on the news, but they're there. They control things like law enforcement, settle disputes, and create magical laws. It's not as glamorous as you'd think. More politics than magic most days."

Damian raised an eyebrow, surprised. He hadn't expected the magical world to have something so... bureaucratic. "And money? Do we have, like, magical gold coins or something?" He half-expected some sort of ancient treasure system, like in all the fantasy stories he'd read growing up.
