Kaelen knew that he couldn't afford to stay in one place for too long. He had to keep moving and stay ahead of the mage council's agents. As he made his way through the forest, he could feel their presence getting closer.
He had no intention of facing them head-on. He knew that he was outnumbered and outmatched. But he also knew that he couldn't let them catch him. He had to find a way to outsmart them.
Kaelen decided to use his magic to create illusions, to confuse and mislead his pursuers. He conjured up images of himself going in different directions, hoping to throw them off his trail.
It worked, at least for a while. But eventually, the young mages caught up with him. They had been tracking him for hours, and they were determined to bring him to justice.
Kaelen knew that he had to act fast. He drew upon all of his power and unleashed a massive blast of energy, sending the mages flying once again.
But he knew that he couldn't keep doing this forever. He needed a better plan. He decided to head for the nearest town, hoping to blend in with the crowds and avoid detection.
As he entered the town, Kaelen could feel the eyes of the people upon him. They could sense his power, and they were afraid. But Kaelen didn't care. He was on a mission, and nothing would stand in his way.
He made his way to the town square and looked around. He could see the mage council's agents searching for him, but they hadn't spotted him yet.
Kaelen decided to take a risk. He stepped out into the open and began to weave a powerful spell. The people around him gasped in amazement as they watched the magic unfold.
The spell created a powerful shield around Kaelen, protecting him from harm. The mage council's agents tried to break through it, but they couldn't. Kaelen was too powerful.
With a smirk on his face, Kaelen disappeared into the crowd, ready to continue his journey and face whatever lay ahead.
