There was a disturbance in the sky. Something that caused a stir within the magical souls of any mage that sensed it. A golden light blessed the night. It shone like a large star with the energy of the sun. Suddenly, for a moment, night was day and then, in the flash of a second, it was gone.
Just outside of the city of Doria, Akia and Anita felt the incredible energy and saw the miraculous light. The two sisters stopped their horses and greedily feasted their eyes on the skies.
"Did you see that sister?" Anita asked. Her forked tongue darted in an out of her mouth, just like a snake.
Akia answered in a voice that almost a whisper, "Power, it was greater than anything I have ever felt."
"Our empire will be blessed to have such power." Anita said with a smile.
The two sisters shared a similar smile and a similar look. Whatever it was, they were determined to get it. They abandoned their plan of entering the city the following day and decided to enter it that very night.
