She looked out. The profile of a demon lord decorated the city's skyline.
She sighed; did the pose. The goddess lifted her, transformed her into a magical girl.
She beat the demon into a pulp, then faced the harder battle: to return to her seventy-year old body, with aching knees and knuckles.
@MicroSFF Not exactly the same, but this reminded me of this: https://hivemill.com/products/mahou-josei-chimaka-magical-woman-chimaka. A former magical girl 15 years on dealing with her failure.
@MicroSFF a few years ago, a friend of mine took part to a Sailor Moon TTRPG where they were playing the characters 30-40 years or so later, not elderly yet but middle-aged grown women who had taken very different paths in life but now had to reunite to face a new evil. It sounded really interesting!
I love this story, and it's so sad.
Question (because the location and wording of the modifier is unclear) -- does her current body have aching knees and knuckles. or the older one?
@MicroSFF @CuterwithCatEars This story is relevant to your interests.
@MicroSFF I'd watch the hell out of Golden Girls Sailor Moon.
@MicroSFF I do love your stories
@MicroSFF This is how I feel doing motorcycle track day sessions at 46 🤣
