Mikael whistled a nursery tune as he walked along. He had some business in a nearby village to get some materials for his research. He stopped suddenly; something felt a little... off. He looked around and nothing seemed to happen. He shrugged and started walking again and suddenly a blast of light came from over the hill along with a piercing screech along with a shock wave that knocked him off his feet. Mikael shut his eyes and grimaced at the piercing in his ears, [color=00aeef]"Agh! Goodness me what was that?"[/color] he wondered. He looked over in the direction the light had come from after recovering himself. After musing for a few seconds if he should investigate his curiosity got the best of him and he started over the hill.
