The tower<br/><br/>Standing just over the treetop the black tower became a silhouette from the flash of light. It had interrupted his star gazing that night. and so called his attention. Zelith walked down the stairs from the tower roof to his study. he collected the required item a seeing glass from the shelf and placed in a silver bowl Runes lines the ring of the bowl as he filled it with water and placed a hand over the water rippled as a images began to appear.<br/><br/>Humans in gowns and oddly designed attire, the scene shifted and once again a odd looking village and even odder the road as it appeared was made of black stone. He continued to look about seeing others from this strange appearing village. "interesting, they seem in panic. And with no notable force of assault." he nodded " time to go look into this more personally." he told himself walking from his study. down another flight of stairs to an archway filled in with the material he called black stone. It formed the stone frame of his tower but other materials had been used steel wood and normal stone the black stone merely was an outer casing to protect the tower better. he cast a spell a simple dispelling of magic the archway emptied and he walked threw only to be sealed in a moment later. He collected a number of items for his journey his favored sword, a few small daggers, and a sword from his collection of acquired magical weapons. sheathed in a manner that hide them magically he collected his staff and opened a hidden trap door stepping down into his stables.<br/><br/>Saddling a horse he kept for the occasional travel for supplies Zelith began out past the small outer wall of his tower he rode casually alone the trail it was over grown and he found himself clearing the path from time to time he passed former foes turned to stone by himself it was a reminder to all who would think him some easy target. The mage turned down the pass till the clearing became apparent and zelith found himself looking around near a single loan house.
