"Protect the king"

Recap - Sentinels attacked me and alice while we were trying to open up the fabric of time-space.I saw alice for the last time and fell theough the rift after a dark ray hit me.

Now - Just a few seconds later my senses returned to normal and i started pouring mana into my stem cells.As i fell, i started to make things out with my hightened senses.There was smoke chiming out of the ground and fire ,definitely fire .Even with my hightened senses it was difficult to see cause i was in a state of utter chaos as i fell like a crashing helicopter desperate for some control.Well that and i am afraid of falling.Nightmares always had their way with me, ending with falling death.Anyhow focusing in the general direction i saw a contigenent of troops and a good amount at that ,passing through a narrow forest path.'it's now or never ' i thought to myself and performed the incantations for free fall and levitation .Last but not the least invisibility for surprise attacks if needed.I got into the area just above the smoke and saw two parallel lines of fire, cutting through the narrow vertical line of troops in a horizontal way which kept only but two wagons and a handful of guards between the lines.( yeah that got over your head).Till now I had managed to get just over the wagons and in a suitable position to launch a surprise attack. 'Bandits incoming'..."Protect The king" yelled one of the men close to the wagons and suddenly riders started streaming in ,and with that, the battle started .Anyway, i needed time to charge my mana full from the krelium rods which also act as batteries.I've 5 of them and they can almost store half of my mana .The vangaurd and reargaurd soldiers were trying to put out the fire in vain cause as someone wanted to leap inside they were either killed by the flames or by the archers hiding in the thicket of forest trees .I charged my mana up and performed the incantations for air armour and lightening storm while the battle ensued.Saving the king just when i stepped into the kingdom ,it indeed could not have been better for me to earn some favour from someone of big standing while this was the whole exclusive deal right there for the taking.But people were dying so i felt a pang of guilt and hurried down which resulted me to go into halt midair.Why ,because the person and the girl from the wagon presumably the king and maybe the princess ,...well shes' cute by the way,..heightened senses baby .....hehe, but duty before beauty ,

and then it hit me. Six people in all were on their knees with swords or daggers on their throats and likewise vital areas.The situation turned from bad to worse while i was performing my incantations discreetly ...(conjuring lightening storm takes some time)..I could save one with surprise on my side but 5 of them would surely die ,since the bandits were really good at what they did if, they got them this fast with only a couple of losses.Shit,is the battle really over before i could do anything ?I had no spells that could save them all at once ,i'm a wizard not a god and my magic too ,had limitations.So much for getting favours.....eh?

Authors' note - grizzly situations can surely bring anyone to give up.But no matter the odds the hero always rises from the aftermath. Powers shown thus far by our little hero are - levitation,invisibility,free fall,air armour ,lightening storm andddd a pinch of coolness.hehe see ya nxt time pretty readers...tata
