No sooner had I dealt with the flesh creature and almost killed Ruk then those stupid villagers were back. I swear they were waiting for us to be at a moment of vulnerability to assail us with their stupid stupidity (so stupid it gets called dumb twice). Despite me standing over a smoking corpse of the creature I'd just burned to death WITH MAGIC! They apparently thought now was a good time for round two.
"SEE THEY ARE WORKING WITH EVIL!" Faceless shouters trying to get a mob of people to murder people are always so logical. Ruk racked a round into his rifle but I held up a hand to tell him I'd handle it. The mob was advancing on us, blood was dripping down my nose and my eyes were still watery from probably a broken nose, but I was as always still in control.
"Didn't I tell you assholes to leave already?" See completely in control.
"You called that beast and then made it dissappear you are working with the white witch!" So I wasn't the only one apparently aware of the white lady leading this merry band of flesh creatures. Turns out most people knew about her, and it was shameful why, but thats later, right now I'm telling you how I got rid of a bunch of dicks who should know better than to mess with a pissed off injured Trezlan Lorentino!
I held my hand flat above my head by a couple inches (thankfully I was taller than everyone there, even though this was just for a visual effect, it worked better when it lined up). I swung my hand from left to right and in doing so cut the tips off their pitchforks and torches (thankfully they were all using wood tools and thus it was easy to burn through them, if they had been metal? Well I'd probably have killed all of them to pull of a similar feat). Seeing the heads of their farm equipment land next to them, they decided to flee again for the second time, and this time it was actually because of something I did.
"I didn't know you were a magic user Trezlan." Sara spoke now, Ruk was too busy keeping Jules calm.
"I wasn't when you met me, well I have been, but you know I'm not getting into this now, we have to get out of here before those idiots come back with guns." I put the twins on my horse and Jules and Ruk walked with me as we made a hasty retreat from the area. Ruk at least knew of a place we could hold up for that wasn't too far from where we were at. Surpingly it was an untouched farm house that almost looked like it would be normal if not for all the dead and dying fields around it. Of course appearences can be decieving and tomorrow I'll tell you all about why this one was sadly as well.
