Looking around at what had been a lively marketplace about 5 minutes ago Lux switched over to normal breathing as she expelled the last carbon dioxide out of her lungs and took a deep breath as her mind started racing.
(In the end I had to use an entire magazine of anti personnel… Magic really is a unfair advantage.)
Around Lux the terrain had been severely deformed by magic. Walls of rock had been raised in defence while slabs of earth and ice had littered the area after fruitlessly being launched after Lux. Realizing she had idled around enough Lux briefly made contact with orbiting surveillance satellites and checked the area around her, and not a second too late. Having looked through eyes from up high someone had closed to less than a meter from her using some sort of cloaking prodjected only towards Lux herself.
