Estraexir smirked as the guards tried to block his path. “Now is a time for talking. I’m sure the king doesn’t want a full blown war in these trying times.” He motioned for them to step aside, but they did not. “ Evicendo Demonucto,” The wizard king said as he waved his hand in front of the two guards. A thin white line of energy encircled each of their heads. The guards looked at each other puzzled. “Good night,” Bloodworth said as he snapped his fingers. The circles of energy snapped shit and we’re seemingly absorbed into forehead of each of the two guards. Each guards went tense, as their brains were hit with this strange energy. They convulsed for a little bit before going limp. 
It was a simple spell. Non-lethal. Just a simple stun spell to put people to sleep. Rather easy to dodge if you knew what was coming. Just move your head out of the circle. As long as the energy didn’t hit your brain, you would be fine. It was an old spell. One he learned in his youth. Turns out it is one of the reasons crowns were made of gold, since the metal could reflect that spell, so royalty would use it as a defense. At least in his home country. 
Stepping over the sleeping guards, he made his way up. Estraexir was intent on having a diplomatic meeting with the local king.
