Amber strode through the city, issuing orders to the small following of less talented sorcerers. They had not been needed for the rituals and when Amber found out they were basicaly waiting for news, she had gathered them for an entirely different purpose. It wasn't the first time she had witnessed the council or the Mother at work, and she remembered the small tremors she'd felt under her feet when they worked their powerful magic. And that was just for some higher magic... Not all out 'live or die' magic like they had planned for today.<br/><br/>There wasn't much she could do to help the Mother, but she'd sooner face the legions of Chaos unarmed than sit around and wait for an outcome of any kind. So, she'd called the remaining magic users to her, at least those who weren't talented at healing, and sent them off to several strategic locations in the city where they'd cast their wards and protect the people from the shockwaves folllowing the Mother's spell.<br/><br/>"Calm down, everyone. Everything's alright!" She entered the town square where people were staring at the beam of light shooting up from the tower. Exploiting her magic to emanate an aura of calm, Amber raised her hands and cast a simple ward around the square. An enemy attack would have shattered it like glass, but against a plain ol' earthquake it would suffice just fine.
