Brain Wave

So I'm sitting here and I've just come up with some great ideas and I just need to get them down. This is why I have said that i will usually carry a notebook with me to write, just in case I get these ideas. Luckily for me, I was able to hijack my friend's laptop so I can bring you the next installment of our story.

And they came, by the thousands they came. Since the Elements had first brought magic to the mortal race of humans, thousands had wound their way into this stream of power. But the powers now present at Lake Caina had become so diverse, so numerous. Magic leaves traces, effects that will remain infinitely marked upon the spot. Man had stumbled upon these oracles of power, many sought them out. And for some, and they were few, magic sought them.
But there were a large number who had gained their power from the Elements themselves; it was these who posed the greatest threat to the Seven Guardians. They not only viewed the Guardians with open hostility, but they also viewed the other casters with such disdain. They believed themselves superior, their pride fueled by the fact that their powers were granted by the elemental beings. But came they did, from all lands. The Seven Guardians were overwhelmed by the numbers that had responded to their call. They watched as the multitudes, of all ages, all manner of appearances made their way to the lake, and pitched their tents and prepared to hear what the Guardians had to say. The Guardians were specifically vague in their wording, unsure of the response they would receive. And after the third day, when it seemed all who had intended to come had already arrived, an assembly was called at the lakeshore.

  2. I like the concept of Magic leaving traces... I instantly imagined that lake acquiring magical properties or something or other.
