Battle

Chapter 240

"What are you doing!!!?" Eric yelled as those running for freedom were skewered like kebabs in a skewer. Only there was more than one skewer for each piece of meat.

I admit that the scene was a little overwhelming for the kids who hadn't seen more than a severed hand let alone see almost a thousand people being impaled by arrows, their death bringing in a lot of pain which in turn brought a lot of screaming.

"What makes magic, magic?" I asked out loud. No one replied. Everyone was too overwhelmed by everything.

"Weapons are simple. You can tell what their user would do. But magic is special in that regard, why?" I asked again when no one replied.

"It's unpredictable," Asmara replied. She wasn't a mage but she sure knew how to fight one.

Exactly. Magic was a mystery, hence the name.

"Correct-o-mundo." I replied before I added, "Magic is always unpredictable. Hence never let your guard down when it comes to magic."
