Era of Magic

Virtual Training

Hannah would wake up in a small shed. She'd get up and looked around for anything suspicious but she couldn't find anything that was. She then got up and opened the door of the shed, leading to the entrance of a small town on the planet. A guard was standing next to a watch tower with plasma cannon mounted on top. Hannah would approach the guard and start talking to him.
Hannah: Where am I?
The guard would look down at Hannah for he was taller than her.
Guard: What do you mean "Where am I". You are on the planet Haven. If you don't know that, you were living under a rock.
Hannah told herself to stay calm.
Hannah: Alright. Thanks.
She proceeded to enter the town as she walked up some stairs. There she saw a beautiful town with many people interacting with each other, children playing with each other, and guards patrolling every inch of the town. For once, she entered a peaceful world. She saw a huge building with the words "Sammy's Inn" written on the top of the building. She chose to enter the building to get more answers. As she opened the door, she heard a piano playing in the background, adults sharing drinks with each other, and more people sitting around a table playing board games. Hannah proceeded to the counter to be met with a bartender. He was drying a wine glass.
   Bartender: Hey kid. Whatcha doin here all by yourself?
   Hannah: I'm just here for some answers.
   Bartender: Huh. That's it? Alright then, ask away child.
Hannah ignored him calling her a child.
Hannah: Is this a planet of war?
The bartender stopped for a moment to answer her question.
Bartender: Well yeah. There are shadows roaming around the entire god damn planet. That is why our towns are so heavily guarded. Even with all those cannons, we'd still lose. It is only the matter of time.
Hannah thought to herself, a shadow? I have never heard of one before.
Hannah: Shadows?
Bartender: You must be an idiot kid. How the hell did you survive through all of this?
Hannah: Sorry but private information. Where can I find these shadows?
The bartender raised his hand and pointed at the door.
Bartender: Go outside. Venture a mile outward of the town. You'll see them but it will be your death.
Hannah started to walk to the door.
Hannah: Thanks.
She proceeded to leave the inn. When she walked out, there was two guards yelling at each other. Hannah ran to the entrance of the town to see a glimpse of a black tsunami slowly getting bigger. A guard quickly got in front of her, blocking her view.
Guard: Hey, everything will be alright. Just go back to your parents, ok?
Hannah: I'm not a one to run from a fight.
Guard: Huh?
Hannah leaped over the guard and was now behind him.
Hannah: I'll help you fight them off. I need information either way.
Hannah started to walk towards the wave.
Guard: WAIT!
Once the wave of shadows were close to Hannah, she raised her hand to level with her head.
   Hannah: Binding of Time.
Thousands of orange chains came up from the ground to lock in one shadow each. As soon the chain was in contact with one, their movement was frozen. A guard signaled the cannon crew.
   Guard: DROP HELL APON THEM!!
Hundreds of shots were fired as they all hit their mark for their targets were sitting ducks. The last shot flew out and hit the last shadow. Hannah stopped casting her magic due to it draining too much mana.
   Hannah: Damn.. Guess I went a bit overboard.
A guard came up to Hannah.
   Guard: What did you just do?
   Hannah: Magic.
   Guard: Yes I know it was magic but what?
   Hannah: Time.
She raised her hand and magic a hologram of a watch.
   Guard: Incredible...
   Hannah: Well that's all I can show you. Good luck in your future battles!
Hannah started to turn into pixels.
   Guard: WAIT!
Hannah have left the world. She soon woke back up to see herself in the lab again, scientists clapping inside their chambers, watching the whole thing.
   Scientist: Great job. You are dismissed.
Hannah nodded as she walked back to her room.
