The Ruinist

What if you had the power to draw symbols and create and destroy things? That'd be pretty cool. What if you were one of the best? One that was hunted? One that had the power to stop the greatest force of evil?

A blast of pure red energy shot towards me. I braced myself, hoping my rune would be strong enough. The energy smashed against my rune, shooting around me in a massive arc. I could feel the energy pulsing around me, through me, as my rune struggled to block the energy blast. I kept holding the rune, and attempted to very slowly draw a rune to attack back, using his energy blast as a cover for my actions.
