Aura

Outside

The door of Aura's prison is opened suddenly. A young man carrying a sword stares at her.

"Are you okay?", he says.

Aura burst into tears.

"It is no time for crying. Come, I'll take you out of this castle."

He then notices your legs are chained together.

"I'll carry you. Hop on my back."

The young man runs through a maze of corridors carrying Aura with him. He arrives at a door, but it is guarded by two skeletons.

"I have to fight them now."

"Don't worry, I got you covered. Congelo!"

Aura casts her freezing spell, which by now is much, much stronger, and encases the skeletons inside a big chunk of ice.

"Wow. How come you never fled?"

"Everything in the dungeon is ice proof. The skeletons aren't even hurt, they are just stuck in the ice."

"C'mon, let's get the hell out of here."

You two run outside and you see an army with catapults and hundreds of warriors in metal armor.

"Surrender now, witch, or we will crush your tower and slaughter all of you!", says a strong man with a big moustache, who seems to be the leader of the army.

"Who cares about this dumb tower, I'm out of here!", says the witch on top of the tower. She flies away in a broom cackling.

"That damn witch. I'll catch her yet someday."

"Look who I found inside the dungeon."

"A witch?"

"Yes, a young witch. Seems like she has been made prisoner. Casting cold spells over and over again."

"What is your name, young witch?"

"It is... it is Aura, sir."

"Aura. Well, you're welcome to stay with us if you want, but we are on the run. We will just check what is inside this tower then demolish it. After that we will continue to look for the witch. Do you have any information that could be useful to us?"

"She destroyed my village. Killed everyone."

"Why would a witch want to destroy a village of witches?", ask the young man.

"I don't know. But get this girl out of chains already."

The young man takes Aura to a smith who cracks open the chains and sets her free.

"What is your name young man?"

"Adler. My name is Adler. Nice to meet you, Aura."

"Where are you going from here?"

"Well, I was thinking about taking a few days off from army work while they demolish the tower."

"And what would you do in these days off?"

"Have you ever been to the beach?"
