It was not quite dawn, the darkest moment before the morning light, and the night sky over the fields was like a thick black veil, impermeable to the air, enveloping everything.
In this envelopment, by all reason, everyone should have been sound asleep. Yet, things always have exceptions, such as Mandun City of the Golden Triangle Kingdom, which was bustling with activity.
At this moment, within and outside the walls of Mandun City, as well as atop battlements and by the gates, the sounds of battle raged. Soldiers from two opposing forces were clashing violently, going all out in a frenzied collision, howling as they attempted to claim each other's lives.
The noise of the fight was overwhelmingly loud, almost drowning out everything in the world.
But then, a sudden, thunderous roar drew the attention of many on the battlefield, signaling to all where the decisive point of this night raid was taking place.
The battle, a battle among Wizards, was underway.
