Things hadn’t been better on Vantera.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

All the Wizards are here,—- ya!!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They had settled down to a happy life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

No more wars, no more strife.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The training continued, as a matter of routine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They were a democracy. There was no queen.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, the head seer had a vision.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It would cause some division.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He saw an indescribable sight.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

An invasion taking place in the night.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It came from outer space.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How could such a thing take place?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This vision caused quite a stir.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of the Wizards were not sure.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Others said the seer’s visions were true.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To be ready required much to do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Time passed and nothing happened.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe this vision would pass then.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, one night, all hell broke loose.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

An invading force cooked their goose.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Exactly what transpired is yet to be told.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a story for only the bold.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It pushed the Wizards to the max.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It took all their power to survive the attack.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, the worst wasn’t over yet.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On this you can place a bet.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
