On it was noon, on this lovely day in Reajh. Yet it belied a developing situation happening in one of the poorer sections in the Connlaothian capital. Screams were heard as masses of people ran a narrow street, struggling to flee from lighting striking and killing those on the back of the panic line.

Behind them were a group of a dozen disfigured individuals men and women all bald, wearing ragged gray robes. They moved with a slow yet murderous pace, one of the them in front was shooting out lighting bolts every so often at the people with a furious glance to match.

Soon the fleeing mob were spreading out through alleys to escape being herd into their deaths. Already many of them and suffered died in this quarter. A few soldiers a yard away spotted the commotion. One of them was sent away to message the garrison for Modrecai support, it was a Mage attack!

The remainder of the squad advance to meet the threat, but were quickly burned alive by another of the robed mages. They entered a square that a busy local market and unleashed their spells to kill the occupants on sight, men, women, and childern.

The front leading woman called out while she sroched an elderly man a few feet away.

"Die insects! Feel our pain!"

The small market square quickly filled with the dead and the dying. The rogue mages were merciless and cruel unlike many of their persecuted brethren. They knew that the Mordecai and other soldiers will be coming but didn't matter to them. These renegades intended to kill and maim as much as possible in an effort to strike fear into the people they hated and to help increase the regime's campaign against mages, so the others who try to hide or coexist with non-magic users will have no choice but to fight for their survival.

In fact a secret Mage, a twenty something year old man in farmer's grab who had been passing through a nearby street spotted the massacre in progress. Unlike many who were trying to flee, he rushed over to the carnage.

Just as one of the robed figures was about to strike down a teenage girl on her knees with a ice formed spear, the "farmer" unleashed a wind spell that knocked the killer several feet away from the frighten youth.

"Cease this madness!" The rescuer whose name was Fredrick Verner called out to his robed counter-parts. The fire woman sneered in front of him.

"Traitor! You would protect these inspects against your own kind?"

"You're not my kind. I am no murderer." Fredrick retorted with disgust.

"They're the real murderers, they all must pay for what we mages all suffer!"

Fredrick shook his head, not believing this was happening, before answering back.

"Mass murdering others won't help mages, I can't let you do this."

Suddenly all street entries to the market were blocked by massive walls of solid ice. All the survivors were now trapped with the bitter zealots and so far the only person, a fugitive Mage was who was defying them.
