"Wizards died out much like butterflies or birds: slowly at first, then all at once."

No one in the tiny enclave of remaining wizards likes Elijah, but they've learned to deal with him over the centuries. Seers like him are rare, after all. But they've finally cooked up something he'll never see coming.

2,000 word short story written around July 2021 and rewritten for publication.
