OCs 2 - the Sequel

Hope's Capture

Hope was walking off to find some adventure, humming to herself. She went on an 'adventure' so that she wouldn't be worthless anymore. She blamed her lack of being interesting for Warren not wanting to marry her, so she decided to make herself more interesting to get his attention. She was walking through the woods when a hunter walked along. He eyed her and then stopped.
"Magic," he scowled. "Think you can hide from me? I'll get you like the others."
"Wait, actually, I'm not a w-" Hope began.
He fired a weapon at her and Hope jumped, throwing up a shield of light.
"You've imitated the ancient Luzians... Impressive. But I'm going to make sure you can't ever do that again."
"Ancient? But I'm a Luzian! I'm the beacon and-"
He fired more at her and she let out a cry of surprise, throwing up the light shield again.
"Stop your lies! The people of Luz are dead," he replied, firing something strong to break her shield.
Hope stumbled back, suddenly wishing Veracity was there. "I survived! Can you calm down?!"
He took slow steps towards the naive, trusting princess and then threw a magic cage at her, which trapped her inside. Hope struggled, but it was no use. The bonds burned her skin and he rolled her away, making her dizzy. The sun dimmed slightly as she weakened. The hunter planned to drain all her of magic... Such disrespect of the ancients, he believed, deserved punishment. And either way, he didn't need an excuse to hunt magic.
