First installment of Magic's Rising:
I opened my eyes. I sent out a feint trickle of power to see who was trying to break into my room.
My magic hit the person in the head and knocked him out.
I got out of my bed and grabbed the magi cloak off of the hanger that stood next to my bed.
I opened my door and looked at the lifeless body that was slumped in my doorway.
It wasn't anyone from Tagin's brook, but what caught my attention the most was the armor and weapons that the unconcience man was wearing.
I heard a scream.
Then all of Tagin's brook broke out into chaos.
A small army marched through my town.
By the time I regained my composure the village was up in flames and the people were all dead.
It took this unknown army only seconds to slaughter us all. Except for me and I wasn't going to let this go unpunished.
I sent out tendrils of power at the twenty or so soldiers that were now looting the town I had grown up in as a child.
They fell to their knees as the magical assault came at them.
I upped the strength of the spell and they fell the rest of there way to the ground, dead.
I went back into my house and grabbed a few provisions that I would need on the road.
I left my house and walked down the road north towards the great city of Dalruan.
