Anora just finished her meal and sat peacefully outside the tavern enjoying a glass of elven wine. Suddenly, not far away from the main gate, a huge figure appeared in sky.
“By the goddess, a dragon..?!” Anora mumbled to herself.
Unaware if someone else even had noticed the dragon, she began running towards the academy. She was going to get her combat gear, as she felt forced to investigate. Dragons were rare these days, and she hadn’t met one in years.
As Anora reached the academy, she didn’t get far before the Grand Magister stopped her.
”Anora, follow me to the tower… Fast" he said quickly. As they were running up the stair to the tower, Anora asked the Grand Magister what was going on.
”I got no time to explain Anora, just follow me now, please.” he said with a slightly worried voice.
Minutes later they arrive to the top of the tower and there the rest of the Magisters’ were awaiting their arrival. They greeted each other and yet again Anora asked what was going on.
”We got no time for that Anora, all I can say is that Sorcerer Lenor has felt the presence of the undead" he said “And I guess you noticed the dragon that landed outside the walls just while ago?” he asked questionably. “Yes, that’s why I was running back to the Academy, Grand Magister.” Anora said with a now worried voice. “Good, good…” the Grand Magister said to himself “We need to perform a ritual to strengthen Lenors’ senses, because if the undead are coming this way, we better prepare ourselves.”
Short after this, they gathered in a ring with Lenor placed in the middle as they start to perform a strengthening ritual.
Minutes after the ritual started, Lenor had enough power to sense that the undead truly were here. He said that the “power” emerged from the south, probably from the town of Cherival.
Shortly after this, they stopped the ritual, as they didn’t want to waste any more energy at this. “This is most disturbing news indeed” the Grand Magister said “We need to warn the council before it’s too late."
A group of apprentices were sent out to the castle to warn the council and Anora went back to her chamber. There she gathered up all the stuff she needed, her battle-staff, Iona, her dagger, Nox and equipped her battle-gear. She also began to pack all her books about ‘The Nexus’, as she didn’t want to lose them if Huami Litharae would fall today. The last thing she did was to grab the old book and put it in a little bag that hung by her waist.
