Let's see... how does this work again? Oh, it's already logging? Um... yeah, okay, hi there, whoever you are that's reading this! I'm Gadget, and I live with an old scientist dude who got fired from his job. Also, I'm a small unicorn that has an eerie resemblance to Smurfette.

One day, I hope I can figure out why the heck I look like I came straight out of My Little Pony.

Now, about that. You see, it's kind of a funny story...

Guess what?

I'm not.

It seemed like Nightshade's life was already weird enough. Between her close friend and roommate Lightning Rod's antics and the weird "Magical Artifact" that she'd found one day in a thrift store, it seemed like nothing could surpass what she'd already seen before.

Well... at least, until some power-crazed entity from beyond comes searching for that same artifact that she just happened to stumble upon.

Talk about weird.

Old cover art by cipherscriptures, who at the time had the username Lokimonster when I requested art three years ago. Also, they've been offline for like half a year, so... yeah.

Not to be confused with Wielder of the Orb: Of Magic and Ponies or The Wielder of the Orb.
