A Magical Reawakening

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Go find someone else's apartment."

[Knight of Iron she/they]

“There aren’t any magical spells around anyone else’s,” he said. “Please. I’m K-Kreshnik, but c-call me Nik.”

[Channelknight Fadran]

Calcifer held up his hand. "If what you say is true, then no harm will come to you."

[Knight of Iron she/they]

Nik sighed in resignation. Another roar put him back on edge, however, as the massive Nemean  lion appeared in the hallway. He let out a small gasp of fear.

“Th-the skin is impermeable,” he whispered.

[Channelknight Fadran]

"So it is." Calcifer said, stepping towards it.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

The lion didn’t seem even a bit scared, if anything just shocked that anything was willing to take it on. It bared its giant teeth and sprinted down the hallway.

Nik tried to pull open the door to another apartment, but he couldn’t get in.

[Channelknight Fadran]

White mist condensed around Calcifer. His sword began to glow.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

Nik fumbled with the doorknob desperately, but resorted to  stepping back in the other direction—away from the charging lion.

The lion charged with full force, with complete confidence no blade could harm it.

"Uh... while that is happening, who are you?"

“Kreshnik!” he said sharply, a bit tense due to being in the hallway of a charging lion. “I’m friendly!”

A blinding white flash filled the room.

Can I kill it or did you want it to be not super easy to kill?

You can kill it. But it’s skin is magically invulnerable, so as long as you can work around that with a fair enough explanation, you’re good

"Nice to meet you. Are you an human or some other human looking thing?"

[Knight of Iron she/they]

Just now, AmazingGoob said:

"Nice to meet you. Are you an human or some other human looking thing?"

He racked his brain, trying to answer her questions whilst facing imminent danger. Finally, it sunk in. “Human looking thing,” he replied. “Guess you could say I’m a bit new here.”

"Uh..." She looks behind him at the currently ongoing fight behind them. "Look, as long as you promise not to hurt us, you can come inside. Is there some sort of unbreakable oath thing you can do to guarantee you won't hurt us?"

"It would seem that life isn't that convenient," he said, "You'll have to take my word. I swear I will not cause harm to you nor any of your companions inside."

"Know what, fine come in. Just know that there's a phoenix that would probably roast you if you tried anything, okay?"

Kreshnik smiled. "Thank you," he said quickly, then rushed inside with a whoosh of wind.

He looked around at the people inside, then tipped his hat. "Hello."

"Hi. We're forming what seems to be a D&D style adventuring party. People keep coming." Whimsy hopped off her lap, and started sniffing the new person's legs.

"Why are you sniffing my legs?" Kreshnik asked. He put his hat back on nice and tight. He took a deep breath in and said, "Smells nice in here."

A blinding white flash filled the room.

The lion leaped into the air, arcing to collide directly with the man.

"Okay." Lilliana said. "Here's an idea. If civilization is close to collapsing, why don't we commandeer a Costco? We'd have plenty of supplies, and the Costco would probably be easily defendable! I mean, they are large, and have a couple entrances that are easily shut, and have security cameras. We'd have space to do anything we wanted, and space to put anything we wanted. Also, I'm pretty sure they are usually made of concrete, so it wouldn't be able to burn down."

“Guys, I heard Sams Club was the best store ever. It’d have everything we need in bulk! Not to mention their pretzels are the best things ever created.” 

What are those?

Hi! That's me, I'm Cadence.

Just read the OP, and... Well, it states that dead creatures remain dead, and there was only one Nemean lion, killed by Heracles. So...

On another note, I consider joining. I'd have gotten something interesting from the Celtic mythology if I knew it, but since I don't I'll probably have a normal human with a magical artifact. I just need to figure out what magical artifact.

Ah, uh, well, it's the Nemean lion's cousin, then.
