"Falwood?" he asked, pausing momentarily, before shooting a cursory look at the gore-encrusted floor.
"I've been there thrice already."
Energy crept back into his voice. Kallach straightened out, kicking one of the corpses that barred his way. The body skidded across the floor, coming to a halt when it collided with one of the walls. The room echoed with an audible crack.
If the body wasn't dead by the time he punted it, it sure as hell was now.
"Back then, I was still learning how to invoke magic from outside sources. To draw it out of plants, earth, and animals. "
Blood surged to Kallach's head, causing his countenance to become more animated. He had the impression that his mind was a beehive, with each thought producing its own buzz. Many ideas merged into one another, forming a type of static, but they all shared one thing: they hinted at danger, or more accurately, different kinds of perils that Kallach believed lay ahead.
He made a hissing noise as an exhale fluttered past his thin lips. Armed guards were about to barge through the doorway, or so had Kallach anticipated.
And to make matters worse, he thought that they were planning an ambush and would wait for Violetta and him to open the door before impaling them with a dozen pikes. Such an assault would lack the potency needed to kill him, but Violetta...
He gestured strangely at the door, and it opened without him having to touch it.
Kallach gave himself a cheek-slap. Nobody entered, not yet at least. The sound of steel clinking in the distance was certainly coming from the city guard's brigandine armor, yet it was faint enough to provide some glimmer of optimism in this otherwise bleak situation.
We should be able to make a break for it.
Should, could, and would, however, are not synonymous. As soon as Kallach snapped his fingers, a shining blue halo appeared above his head. Tiny sparks leapt off of it, indicating just how unstable the spell was.
