<span style="font-weight: bold">Lyzrac was alone in his bed, trying to sleep. He wondered where his wife was. She hadn't come home yet... Hearing her screaming downstairs, he lunged out of the room, stumbling. By the time Lyzrac reached his son's room, all that was left of his family was a bloodied mess. Standing directly above what was left of his wife, he saw the silhouette of a terrible creature... A demon. The demon turned away from his meal, and towards Lyzrac. Shocked, terrified, and in disbelief, Lyzrac didn't move as the demon sprang towards him, its claws headed straight towards his throat.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"It was just a nightmare... Damn it, why can I not forget that day..."</span><span style="font-weight: bold">Lyzrac thought as he woke up from his nightmare, after screaming at the top of his lungs. <br/><br/>He checked the clock next to his bed.</span><span style="font-style: italic">"Four thirty. Damn, I slept through the whole day. I might as well go ahead and wake up..."</span><span style="font-weight: bold">He thought, as he stood up and started going through his usual preparation routine.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">As he walked to the library, he went over the simple incantation to summon his sword, just in case...</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">About thirty minutes later, he arrived at the usually empty library, scouring the dusty old books about demonology. In the aisle to his left, he saw a beautiful young girl reading a book that he had read once. Something seemed off... She was very pale. Curious, Lyzrac followed her to a nearby forest, and hid in the shadows nearby. He heard her mumble something.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Did she just ask about magic? The poor girl... She has no idea what she's getting into... Maybe I should give her a small demonstration to try to get her to stop before she delves too deep..."</span><span style="font-weight: bold">He thought, as he followed her deeper into the woods. She threw the book down and kicked it right into the bush beside the tree he was hiding behind. He picked it up, and stepped out from behind the tree.</span>
