Genre: FICTION / Fantasy / EpicAs I wandered into the town, a strong, distinctive odor of dirt and decay hit me. My magic recognized the presence of another magic user. I stopped right in the middle of the road, put my sorcerer robe on, and held my staff tightly in my hand.
Protect, I thought to the staff. After my staff made my skin impenetrable several times, I was shocked when the magic instead transformed the staff into a sword. I scoffed. “Coward.” I couldn’t really blame the staff, though; I was worried for myself as well. Nevertheless, I charged forth. There was no mistaking the presence of a necromancer, and had I known when I was still on the main road, I might have kept walking.
The first huts I reached were burning, but silent. All the screaming came from the center of the town. I fully expected something to attack me, so every little snap, crackle, and pop made me nearly jump out of my skin. I pulled my wand out of my pocket.
As if I wasn’t confused enough, I didn’t encounter any zombies. Instead, I reached the center of town easily and found a few dozen civilians gathered around a pit. Several of the residents were shoveling dirt into the pit, where I saw a hint of metal. “What’s going on?” I asked the closest person.
The woman was middle aged, covered in dirt, and had a couple of scratches on her bare arms. “We are burying a necromancer.”
