Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - Where the people. Desolate plain.

When they appeared, in mind was only: "Be friendly with people. We will be must help them", and knowledge about magic. But they lost this memory after all of these centuries. And when gates opened, waves of creatures ran outside: beasts, fantastic creatures, birds, ghosts, bugs... all from 99 floors.

But they are saw only desolate plain and the same mountains. No people, no life. Small dragon was stood and looked at neighbors, all 600 years he has only heard them, and never seen. Lonely distant echo in speechless Tower.

Many creatures stayed in home of some kind of hesitate. But ain't everybody. Some of them without doubt are going to distant peaks. Obsession. Hope. Happiness. Fear. Thirst for blood. All kind of emotions mixed. Suddenly began battle. But almost as quickly it ended. Mad was wake up.

Wind-man touches dragon on the neck.

- Yes, we go out of here.

Dragon turned eye to horizon, to where he feeled a great magic.

At foot of the mountains spread out a big town. And today citizens has been celebrated feast of Sorcerer. Every year, when autumn changed by winter, and great Tower glow by mani-coloured flames, people has been drinking, dancing, singing all day and night.

But now, when twilight сame. Tower suddenly went out. People hearded thud. It turned into thunder. Guardians ran above on the wall and suddenly ranged town's bell. Instantly the feast was end. In the great open space before the wall were colossal and small monsters, about 20-30 beings, but some higher than wall.

Creatures was like children, who just learned how to walk and explored world. Beasts didn't know what bad or... difference between evil and good. They haven't attacked yet, but instincts, not knowledge, told to them, that people it's prey.

Well, they haven't all been like that. Our dragon looked from a distance, and used wind-man how scout. But wind was part of him. And he saw all city, citizens, creatures, by eyes of wind-man. It was like he looked by own eyes.

he decided not to went and not help. Dregon just watched and studied. How people living? What they hold dear? How mages using magic? And dragon will can see spells. Guardians gathered on the wall, and their sorcerers casted spells. Weirdly, but people not allowed magic and body to become one. Instead they singing and reading, why? If sorceress have only such power, humanity doomed.

Creatures made a move. And at the moment spells came to them, but all in vain. Fire, wind, water, earth, and many others spells crashed about their bodies, and runged out a roar, which scared people.

Several hours passed. Citizens died, but he feel nothing for it. But many situations seemed interested for him. People fought fiercely. When guardians and sorcerers was died, men and youth came on front. Wives, daughters, old people and children quickly left city. They are care about Family. But not all. Many enjoyed that destruction, and used it to sate their own desires. And someone just ran away.

Dragon decided to catch them and ask a few questions.

Town will fall in any case.
