The ground shook as explosions of fire magic crashed into the battlefield sending massive clumps of earth high into the sky. Violet sat hunkered in a small dune huddled with twelve other mages. She didn't know many of their names, but she did know one thing. That most of them would not survive this battle. More and more explosions erupted around her as Violet saw her commanding officer, a gruff man with a gruffer attitude, give the small hand signal that meant it was time to attack. With an already sinking heart Violet stood and took aim ready to chant her first spell.
Then she stopped. Seeing the absolute destruction and carnage before her Violet almost collapsed. Magic spells of all description were ripping into people. Some setting people ablaze, some destroying limbs, some even encasing people in ice but all were killing people. It wasn't just spells being used as weapons either many more conventional weapons were being used. Swords clashed, shields crushed, arrows flung through the air and punches were thrown. All this carnage was making Violet sick. It was too much, how could people do this to each other. She almost gave up. Almost. Giving up would mean losing something very precious to her. And Violet was not going to let it go without a fight.
"Fuck, who thought this was a game?" Violet muttered before firing a dark spell starting her squads fight.
