He stared blankly at the wall, his fingers barely holding on to the gun in his hand. The air still smelled of gunpowder and magic.
How had it come to this? They would all soon know.
A few meters away the body of the magister lay on the floor, well what was left of it anyway.
One arm was missing, and the head had been totally disintegrated from the shot.
Power.
He could feel it coursing from the body and in to him. The wonderful feeling of the power from a powerful magi becoming his.
Almost on its own will he raised his arm, summoning the magic and creating a small fireball. The power accelerating shooting it towards the shelves by the wall.
Flames quickly engulfed the room.
It was time to leave, he could hear footsteps coming up the tower.
With his his new powers he easily created a portal out of the room and to his hideout in the mountains.
He had the power now, and soon they would all know it.
The magister was dead, his revenge was close at hand.
