\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Magician\u2019s War (Chapter 13)<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The \u2018home\u2019 had been maintained for over 800 years.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It was maintained by magic, animated overseers.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The grounds were well maintained at all times.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The same with the home, yet there was no sign.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It was invisible to all, but those of our kind.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Impossible to penetrate by magic or force.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Always ready to be occupied by us, of course.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Thus, a meal for all was not a problem.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Prepared by magically created goblins.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We all ate, visited, rested, then, began to plan.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Anika led out, with no objections from any man.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She relayed to them where the Warlock \u2018home\u2019 was.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She said:\u201d First, we must recon the area because<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I have a plan that is starting to form.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe lost before fighting one on one.\u201d \u201c Hatred was born.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot drop to their level.\u201d \u201c We are the light.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cGod will give us what we need to fight.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will manipulate them into a trap.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir own hatred will have their back.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThat will be their downfall in the end.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is what is going to help us to win.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t have a clue what she meant.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She said: \u201cAll would be explained, then they could vent.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the ability of invisibility on our side\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThey have never been able to, though they tried.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThey could track us by our smell.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThat should no longer be a problem with our new spell,\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

said one of the Wizards. One of The 12 leaders.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe perfected it after you left, Anika.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were sorry you couldn\u2019t use it to help keep ya.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cBut, thank God, you made it through without it.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cYour information just helped my plan to fit.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

So, using invisibility and scent disruptor, they went.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They blended in nicely with the Normals, if meant.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Mostly, they stayed invisible learning all they could.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Sending it all \u2018home\u2019 with their wands of wood.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then, came the day when they had learned enough.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The evil Warlock\u2019s still weren\u2019t aware of their stuff.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Anika had finally completed her plan.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She was ready to lay it out for every man.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What she said will have to wait till later.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I have to go and feed my gator.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
