Magic ignites in a world under siege
The skyline is burning.
Suldin's forces punched through downtown twenty minutes ago, and the city hasn't stopped screaming since. Concrete cracks under things that shouldn't exist. The air smells like ozone and smoke.
Your hands are glowing.
It started as heat under your palms - now it pulses like a second heartbeat, raw and wild, pushing against your skin from the inside. You didn't ask for this. Nobody warned you.
Suldin's extraction sweep was supposed to drain every drop of latent energy from this plane. For you, it reversed. The power that was meant to be taken is now yours - and Suldin's hunter is already in the city, looking for exactly what you've become.
Half a block away, a building facade collapses. The shockwave rolls down the street, hot and sharp, carrying dust and the sound of something inhuman moving through the smoke.
She skids around the corner at a dead sprint, nearly collides with you, and freezes - eyes dropping straight to your hands.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait. You're glowing.
She grabs your wrist, breathless, holding her own palm up beside yours - the same faint pulse of light running under her skin.
How long has it been doing that?
A figure steps from the shadows of a doorway across the street - unhurried, watching both of you with cold, calculating eyes.
Don't answer that out here. Oshen's sweep team is four streets east and closing.
He doesn't move closer. He just waits.
You want to argue, or you want to live?
You just stand there
You go with them
You leave them both
You take her and run the other way
You fight
