What's your guys' favorite flavor of milk.

Oh me?

I'm allergic to milk

"Wizard, what does this symbol mean?"

"It is the Golden Hand-Grip of a Wizard! It was a nice catch you made, one of few non-magical people who own it."

"That's not what I meant! I meant, why is it so important?"

"Because it grants the Wizard many powers! If you had the emblem, I could teach you some of the powers it confers, but only if you kill the man with the shotgun first."

You close your eyes and raise your palm to face the man with the shotgun. You whisper a lightning spell and it strikes the man. He falls down, dead.

The Wizard lowers his hand and sighs with satisfaction.

"That's two down! Now, we teach you the rest of the powers, but we need to go."

"Wizard, can we go back to the castle? There is something I need to do there."

"Don't you want to learn how to use all these powers?"

"Yeah, sure. But can we go back now? I really need to do something there. It's kinda important."

"Yeah, it probably is. (sigh) Okay, we'll go back there to get these powers. Now, close your eyes and follow my voice."( I have no idea why)

You close your eyes and follow the wizards voice. He leads you for what feels like miles. You start to hear the voices of you village.

"Hurry up!" One voice cries.

"Father, the man said there were four knights." Another one says.

"I know son, I know." The first voice answers.

"Wizard, can I open my eyes now?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

As soon as the Wizard's words exit his mouth, you feel a kick to the head and you lose consciousness.

You wake up tied to a wooden pole in the middle of the courtyard. The wizard is unconscious beside you. You struggle against the tied ropes. Townsfolk are throwing stuff at you, cursing.

"...bout time. They were ready to burn me at the stake!"

"What did you do to my daughter?" The townsfolk turn their attention to you.

"Nothing, she's fine."

"Daughter? What's going on here? I am the last heir of this kingdom. You have to let us go."

You rip your way out of your ropes, but find yourself short on time. Most of the towns folk have weapons and have already pelted you with rocks and debris. You look back at the still tied up wizard. You raise your hand and magic untangles his ropes. He drops to the ground and stirs a little.

"The king is dead, long live the king!" The wizard mumbles and runs off to the castle walls.

"I'll get you for this, I'm going to tear you apart!"

"You killed my father? How could you Wizard? I thought you were my friend."

The townsfolk stop throwing objects at you and look in awe at the wizard standing before them.

"Your... your so called friend tried to kill me, tried to have me killed!"
