“Not good, not good!” I said, torn between two impossible decisions. I could try to dash over and free our scaly mounts, then pray we got away. Or I could take the safer route and flee with the others, though it likely meant our little trip would be coming to a sudden end… and with it, my chance at unlocking this power of mine.

Selfishly, I turned to Efray who looked back at me wide-eyed and full of fear. She held her ground, but it looked like at any second she would turn and join the others fleeing the area...

Then something unexpected happened.

Out of the shadows stepped a vaguely familiar face. Dressed in violet and black attire, the twirly-mustache mage came forward and squared up with the rampaging ravebeast, hoisting a crystalline sword onto his shoulder that gleamed with amethyst light.

“You disrupted my sleep, foul beast,” the man uttered, his tone about as dramatic as it could get. “And for that, you shall pay!”

Suddenly a wave of energy pulsed through his sword, causing the weapon to nearly triple in length. An instant later, he swung the mighty blade in the ravebeast’s direction, gashing its snout and forcing the creature to reel back.

“Oh, this looks fun,” another voice said as a second man stepped out of the outpost and passed me on my left. He was a bit taller and leaner than myself, with short-cropped hair and a thin pair of spectacles. Hell, everything about the man was clean-cut, from his all-white tunic to his gloved hands. What demanded my attention though was the pristine silver bow in his hand crackling with energy.

With a quick non-verbal cue from the mustache mage, the bow wielder dashed forward and executed a strike of his own, yanking on an invisible bowstring and releasing arc lightning that blasted the ravebeast in its side, charring its flesh and forcing it to flinch

“Who the Hell are these guys?” I blurted out.

“They’re skilled arcanists,” Danica replied as a wild grin appeared on her face. “Now watch them work.”

As the ravebeast tried to steady itself the two arcanists continued their assault, keeping the creature on its heels. The violet mage let out a confident shout as he took another swing with his blade, channeling a pulse of energy into his palms. As his weapon cut through the air, the massive sword broke into what seemed like a hundred pieces, sending shards of purple glass into the beast’s waiting face.

As the attack landed, the lightning arcanist refocused and launched a second attack of his own, charging his bow with another energy blast before raining hot white lightning onto the ravebeast’s back.

For an instant, it seemed like the pair had the creature backed into a corner. Hell, even a few of the guards from one of the caravans had begun to move back in, ready to stick the beast with their spears...

That is, of course, until things broke down.

Wounded and surrounded, the ravebeast let out a roar, relasing a pulse of energy from its body that caused its attackers to flinch.
