Hedge Wizard Umber of the Lake (#1367)

The Sacrifice of Umber

It was a gloomy day at the lake. Umber had awoken from his slumber to the crackling of lightning off to the west. A storm must be rolling in he thought. As he went about his chores, a thudding grew louder and louder. At first, it seemed as though it was just thunder, the storm growing near. But the sound amplified at an alarming rate.

A neighing could be heard through the trees. A red cape, blowing in the wind. Drawing closer was Alessar, Archmagus of the Tower. Behind him his council of elder wizards. Ofaris, Lumos, Casper, and Solomon. The latter whom at a time resided at the lake, just across from Umber.

The mounted wizards circled Umber as the rain came pouring down. Alessar jumping from Marengo walked towards the trembling hunter. He placed his hand on Umber's shoulder, attempting to calm him.

"It is time."

Umber had heard tales of this moment. But never believed it would happen to him. Tales of the hunter sacrifices by the wizards. An attempt to please the Dark Magic, so that it does not take hold of the Runiverse. Knowing there was no choice but to oblige, Umber nodded his head, climbed behind Solomon, and shut his eyes.

The band of wizards and their hunter sacrifice were off. Due west through the downpour. As a chill consumed the air, Umber opened his eyes. Looking up he saw what he'd only heard tales of, The Secret Tower. Ushered ahead, he took one last deep breadth and stepped inside.
