Caitlin had almost resumed walking when a sword went flying by her head. She sighed, "Don't be a fool, this isn't a battle you can win." She didn't have to even turn around, she knew it was a dark mage. The mage simply laughed, "You think you're some hotshot huh?" He sent another blade after her, which she dodged. "I really don't appreciate being used for target practice." The air around her crackled a bit and the man fell over, temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. He began to panic as he found he could not move most of his body. "Now tell be what's going on here before I make it permanent." It was an empty threat but the risk for him to guess she was bluffing was too great. He really clarified things for her. "So everyone is asleep, I hadn't noticed. It makes sense though." The man simply stared at her in disbelief. She released the spell at which point he immediately ran off. Caitlin had almost resumed her journey when she sensed a powerful magic somewhere near by, it was a rare case for her to sense a persons magic unless she had taken it before, so naturally she was worried. "Hello? Is there any one else awake?"
