The Necromantrix Earns Her Scythe or The Mower King
Welcome to the Green Side – The Necromantrix Earns Her Scythe
Series: The Magicians
🪦🌿 Death gets a makeover—and a gardening franchise.
In this darkly whimsical episode, Kris, the newly minted Necromantrix, grapples with the surreal legacy of soul reaping… and lawn care. Guided by her father—the infamous Necromancer—and her cryptic grandfather, she learns that the scythe isn’t just a weapon, but a symbol of life’s harvest. But when the trio’s reaping ritual spooks a pair of unsuspecting walkers, the line between grim reaper and suburban gardener blurs hilariously.
Is death just another landscaping job? And what does it mean to “mow the lawn” when souls are the grass?
Tune in for a supernatural satire that blends existential musings, family dysfunction, and the odd charm of a reaper’s roleplay. The Mower King is in town… and he’s got work to do.

01:03:21||Season 1, Ep. 913(Think: a troubadour with lute, steady rhythm, rising heroic refrain)**“Hear now the tale of the Fox in the night,A shadow of justice, a rider in flight.From Sherwood’s deep silence to court’s golden flame,He battles a tyrant who curses his name.Blake de Clare, the knight who would not die,Who rose from the grave ’neath a star‑burning sky.His lady imprisoned, his honour betrayed,He rides for rebellion the Marshal has made.Oh gather, good people, and lend us your ear,For the Fox walks the moonlight when danger draws near.A mask in the darkness, a vow in his chest—This is the Night Fox… the legend begins its quest.”**(Lute flourish, drums rising, fade into narration.)
