The Citadel's Artifactorium A shadow crept along the walls , as if alive. The Lord Templar guarding the "Artifactorium" didn't noticed anything out of the usual. They seemed to be talking about a certain Mage that was caught training with swords , when the shadow materialized and slashed their necks before they even had time to move a hand.
A Mage soon came out of the shadow. He was dressed in a long robe and was something close to 40 years old. He waved his hands and small orbs of darkness exited both of the dead guards and hit the door again and again until it finally felt down on the ground with a loud *BANG*.
More Templar came out of the halls attracted by the sound. The Mage pointed his finger towards a few Templar and suddenly their eyes turned red. They stopped in their tracks and turned towards the other Templar and attacked. The Mage entered the Artifactorium , a place where Artifacts from before the war that couldn't be destroyed were kept.
Many artifacts were kept there but the Mage simply ignored them , searching only for one. After a few minutes , minutes in which the Templar he "persuaded" to join him fought everyone that tried to enter the Artifactorium , he finally found what he was looking for. A small necklace that was broken. Four parts were missing from it but he didn't care. He looked at them and said "
Good. Only four more parts and it will be done , master. " with a grim smile on his face.
The guards that protected him were killed and more guards poured in the room. He laughed at them and as the Templar approached him ready to kill him , he merely touched the ground and shadow tendrils came exited from seemingly everywhere at once and killed all 15 Templar. After that , he simply was gone before any other guards could come.
Gun'tar woke up with banging on his door. The hulking soldier woke up and went to see what happened. His shift only started at 0900 and it couldn't be that time yet. He opened the door and saw four Holy Templar in full armor and weapons at the ready , he quickly saluted them and said "
Morning ! Gun'Tar Mala'korai ready and willing sirs ! " with determination in his voice. If the Holy Templar are here something bad happened. That or he was sentenced to death for no apparent reason , something that sometimes happened to non-humans.
One of the Holy Templar approached him , saluted back and said "
At ease Mala'korai. His Holiness Gregory Ascended Templar Markovic requested your presence in his office. We are here to escort you to him. So , please. Dress up fast and let's go. ".
Gun'Tar was stunted. If The Ascended Templar wanted to see him something really , really bad happened.
As he was dressing up he tried to ask the Templar what happened but only received answers like " We don't know. " or " Holiness Gregory Ascended Templar Markovic knows. We are sent here to get you and the other senior staff " so Gun'Tar didn't learned much.
He took his best cloths on and walked to the Ascended Templar's office which was in a tower that overlook all the Citadel. It was the first time anyone that was not a Holy Templar entered it. The tower was guarded by more than 50 Holy Templar , no one could even approach the tower without being seen by a guard. As he approached the office , he saw the Holy Templar arrive with more soldiers and , he was surprised to see that , even some Magi that were chained and had muzzles on their heads to keep them from casting any kind of magic were brought towards the office.
The Citadel's Prison Cells William was sleeping on floor as always because the prison cells never had beds. The floor was wet and he was shivering. If it wasn't for his stronger metabolism ( because of his race ) he would've caught a cold long time ago. Maybe one that could end his torture.
He slowly woke up as he always did at this time of the day and started to exercise. He looked around and said "
Nothing. Always nothing. ".
The prison cells were covered in such a way that no sound could enter them and of course , they couldn't see anything outside of their cell. Everything was black all around. No light , no sounds , no nothing. From what he heard in the library , where he was allowed to study along side other Magi , many Magi go mad and kill themselves either by banging their heads on the wall 'till they crack their heads or by attacking guards. The only time he saw light in his cell was when food was brought to him and that was once at night , so even that light was dim one. When transported to the Library , all Magi are muzzled and tied with anti-magic chains. They cannot see , nor hear anything around them until they arrive at the library where they are allowed to stay for 1 hour and then they are sent back to their cells.
Suddenly a small light appeared on the wall and then the wall opened. Shielding his eyes from the light he hears a voice "
Face towards the wall ! If you mutter a word or move your hands , I'll cut you to pieces Mage ! ". William quickly understood what happened. He was sentenced to death. Complying to what the guards said he was ready to accept his fate.
He found himself hit by sword hilt as soon as he turned his back to the guards.
He woke up being dragged on the floor by two guards. He couldn't hear anything around him , nor he could see or move. " Probably muzzled and chained " William thought.
Soon the dragging stopped and he waited for the blow to end his miserable life.
