[b][i]Paradise 'Par' Rapids - Diver's Paradise[/i][/b]

Par was getting ready for the return of the 'conquering heroes'; they would surely want to have their Magitech repaired once they came back, either in victory or defeat. He did most of the work himself; his shop was small enough for that. Spend 8 hours working, 8 hours in 'lesiure' (mostly reading) and 8 hours asleep; that was his philosophy. He would love to talk with Luke himself; talk about taking part in the next expedition -

Then the CMAS attacked. At first, the 19-year old boy couldn't believe it; a second later, rage filled him as he saw that the CMAS were intent upon [i]genocide[/i]. Acting quickly, Par took out a placard and quickly wrote: 'All Weapons are Free While We're Under Attack!' and put it by the shop window, before taking his sniper rifle and pistols and running up the stairs of his shop, past the attic, and clambering onto the roof, which had a vantage point facing at least one of the entrances, which was coincidentally where the enemy commander was.

[i]One shot,[/i] thought Par, [i]I'm in the open here, and I'll only have one shot.[/i] He then took out his sniper rifle, set the scope to maximum zoom, and aimed at the CMAS Mage.

Being careful not to hit the defenders, he shot a mana bolt at the enemy officer!
