Smoke, a thick and lurid blanket of smoke made its way through the corridors of the Cathedral, desecrating the peace that had - until then- reigned over the Guardians' wing.
For the day, reading time is over, he thought rising from his desk.
Was the Circle under attack? Perhaps at the behest of those that had razed the Cortez to the ground? Seers? But then, who could pierce those wards? Banishers were unlikely.
Or maybe somebody had finally snapped, lost his marbles and decided to end it all. The Necromancer?
There is no Occam's Razor for the inner paranoid.
As the thick curtain rose to occupy every cranny of the room, the Guardian grabbed his things. If it was the work of the Seers, it could be a trap sprung to lure them outside the range of the Circle's protections. In that case, where there is smoke, there is fire; and he certainly wasn't planning on getting roasted. Not today, at least.
Suppressing his flight response, he began chanting. First of all, he'd need a clear view of his surroundings. From the commotion outside, shit was going to hit the fan soon, but what about those within the Sanctuary?
There they are. The outlines of somebody familiar, a lung filling breath later he plunged into the chaos.
