Ferrah

I was frozen to the spot. Sybil was going to die. Whether the man standing over her and preparing to destroy her really was the legendary Soxor or not didn’t matter. He was the most powerful wizard I’d ever encountered. I couldn’t stop him.

Soxor’s hand began to glow and the feeling of surging dark magic made my own magic pulse in response. My mind was racing. There had to be something I could do. There had to be a way to stop this.

Suddenly, I was standing directly in front of Soxor with my arms up and crossed in front of me. A magical force field stood between us. The spell he had been charging shot directly at me.

It bounced off of the shield and flew to the side, hitting a nearby tree. The trunk of the tree exploded into a rain of wood shards and the tree fell, rattling the ground and throwing me off balance.

I fell to my knee, but kept my arms up and the shield strong.
