"What friend?"

"This one, come on!" The wizard points to you and gasps in pain.

You hadn't noticed, but the wizard was shot when he turned his back to you. He struggles to sit up.

"Who did this?"

"Your so called friend."

Now the townsfolk are talking amongst themselves and looking at you. You realize that they see you as the killer.

One of the men in the crowd steps forward and draws a knife.

"Woah! Let's all calm down. Wizard, who is my so called friend?"

"He is the man who shot me!"

The men in the crowd draw their knives and take up a defensive stance. The wizard looks at you with hate filled eyes.

"So, you're the killer."

"I am not the killer. Why would I murder my own father?"

"Yeah, I don't think so."

The wizard stands up and begins walking towards you. You realize this may get ugly.

You feel anger take over and you yell. Your wings spring from your back and you jump off the ground. You fly past them and into the Wizards tower. Your wings fold up and you look around for the trap door. You find it and open it. You run down the stairs and down the long hallway. You see the cages with the animals at the end. When you reach the end of the hallway, a large metal door is in front of you. The door has several symbols on it and seems to be metal... not wood or metal that is naturally occurring.

You try to open the door but it wouldn't budge. Frustration kicks in and you pick the door up by the handle and slam it back down on the ground again. The door is heavy and it makes a loud noise.

"Crap! That was loud. I need to be way quieter."

You grip the handle and pull it towards you. The door moves slowly about an inch at a time. Someone begins to yell from the other side. Then a few someone's begin to yell.

"Hold on! I'm trying!"

You pull and wiggle the door until it finally opens. You swing it open and stand back about three feet. An alarm starts blaring loudly and a bright light appears in front of you.

You use your magic to stop the siren and dim the bright light. The siren stops and the light is a dimmer red color. The crowd bursts into cheers and claps. You bow towards them and walk off the set.
