Drarren looked up into the sky and squinted. It was a nice sunny day with only a few clouds floating through the sky. He continued walking down the dusty road, he was approaching a hill so he picked up his pace. When he reached the crest of the hill he could see a small village at the bottom. From what he could see the town had about ten buildings in the center with outlaying farms for miles. On closer inspection he could see something strange, he saw people panicking and could faintly hear screaming. He grabbed the hilt of his sword for assurance and began running down the hill.
He reached the bottom of the hill and saw that goblins were raiding the village. He unsheathed his blade and gathered his energy then charged the first goblin he saw. He caught it by surprise and sliced its chest open in one swipe. He ran up to the next goblin and this one screeched in goblin. Drarren sliced this one like the last then gathered his energy into his left hand and imagined flames. He released the ball of fire he conjured towards the next goblin and it burst into flames. It screeched and began to run in circles, Drarren charged it and ended its life in one quick swipe.
Suddenly a goblin jumped onto Drarren's back and tried choking him. Drarren thrust his sword backwards and into the goblin's stomach. It released its grip and dropped to the ground. Drarren pointed his sword at another goblin who was carrying away some jewelry and a bolt of lightning shot from the tip of the blade and into the goblin, killing it instantly. Two goblins were harassing a woman from the village and Drarren stabbed one in the back then grabbed the second one by the throat. He tightened his grip and then flames begin to lick around the goblin's throat. Drarren released the goblin and it fell to the ground dead. The other goblins began running into the hills around the village. Drarren sheathed his longsword and took a breath.
