The Destructive Hunt

The night sky fell upon the small hamlet of Yesman Grove as most of the denizens were already asleep. But there was one mage who went by the name of Gabriel Leonheart who was up, as if he was ready to go on a search for something. He remembered back when his guild master, Bob, assigned the mission to him.

Flashback

"Ah it's you Gabriel! May I have a word with you?" the guild master asked. Gabriel and his team just returned from another assignment.

"Sure," Gabriel said obidiently as he followed his master to some where private. From there Bob's mood became serious. He handed the young mage a letter, having him read it carefully. Gabriel then looked back at Bob.

"As you are aware, the Village Elder reports a strange disturbance in the area. The animals seem to be agitated, as if a storm was coming. I need you to head there alone, take care of it, and report back to me."

"What if it's the work of a strong mage?"

"If it is..." Bob trailed off, making the young mage think of the various possibilities.

"... then you are allowed to fight them. But remember, you must not take off that amulet of yours. The consequences are far too great."

Gabriel nodded, understanding the message.

End Flashback

Gabriel looked down at his pendant, holding on to it before grabbing Retribution, his sword. The young mage rushed into the wilderness, following the trail of what it appeared to be magical energy.
