The last wisps of smoke from a dead fire silently creep from the top of a makeshift chimney above a dimly lit cabin in the middle of a clearing in the woods. Inside a young man cups his hand over one last candle; Its feeble light casting large shadows on the walls of the cabin and finally bows it out. In an instant the room is completely dark. Somehow though, the lads perception of what is around him doesn’t change and he easily navigates through the one roomed house without a sound as if being able to see in the dark. On his way out the door he stops to pick up a large brown hat that seems to serve no other purpose then to hide his face. He walks briskly in the direction of Hitren.

Closer to Hitren nothing but silence fills the woods save the usual forest nightlife but nights are beginning to get colder and even the bugs seem to have lost their will to sing. The hoot of an owl finally breaks the silence; its golden eyes reflect the silver moons glow. It stops, hearing the scampering of something on the forest floor and waits for a second before quickly swooping down towards a mouse. Suddenly right at that moment a spinning orb expands out of thin air with a little crack, startling the bird and allowing the lucky mouse to quickly run off into the protection of a nearby shrub.
The orb rotates faster, static beings to erupt off it zapping a nearby tree as a wind begins to pick up around it. Without warning there’s an immense crack like a clap of thunder and a pillar of white light shoots its way towards the sky shinning through the very tops of the trees like an invisible lighthouse and for a moment the nearby forest is light up. The light subsides finally showing off the damage. A portal stands were the orb once was, hovering a foot above the forest floor. A heavily armoured foot steps out giving off a pleasant crunch as it steps onto the forest floor.
