The Imperial magician Selena hopped from branch to branch making use of her agility as a cat. She occasionally sniffed here and there and cast a few tracking spells to mark the areas while moving forward in a slow pace. Hearing a rustle in the bushes nearby, she halted and waited.
~~~~Hiss~~~~ (sfx shall be enclosed within ~~~~ ~~~~) "Hyah" shouting and hissing sounds rang out like a cacophony destroying the serenity of the place. From the rustling bushes came out a brilliant iridescent coloured python which was terribly wounded. It was crawling away from something in fear. Selena gasped 😲 ISN'T THAT AN ANCESTRAL LEVEL EARTH PYTHON, WHO IS CAPABLE OF SCARING SUCH A BEAST !!??
Before Selena could start taking any action, a silver lightning bolt carrying terrifying amount of energy hit the python square on the head causing it to hiss in agony one last time before burning down to ashes.
A... A SILVER LIGHTNING BOLT !!!!!!!! Selena was frightened. She, being a lightning natured person herself, knew how hard it is to reach even grade 2 lightning much less grade 3. She, despite years of hard work, was still stuck in grade 1. WHO IS THAT ABERRANT ?? she thought.
From the bushes then came three people, an old man followed by two children barely ten years old, who went and examined the snake's remains. "Hmmm, your control over lightnings is amazing, you roasted the snake by hitting its weak point, good job" "Thank you master,"
"Excuse me, you are ?" "We are from the Jade garden village, we are on our way to Zarina," "Oh, my name is Selena, I'm an imperial magician sent on bandit extermination, may I accompany you people till Zarina?"
The old man thought for a while before answering "Here is my disciple Dastan, if you can land one hit on him, I shall agree you joining us," "Are you joking? I'm an overlord level magician, does your disciple have the strength to face me?" "He can overpower you," "Let's see,"¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dastan and Selena faced each other with about half a meter gap. Selena started to concentrate her mental energy while chanting « Lord of the skies, scald my foes, show thy power, LIGHTNING BOLT » An electric blue lightning bolt shot out from her finger towards Dastan. To her shock, the lightning bolt dissipated an inch away from his face.
HO... HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ??????? ..............
