Snippet #1409658

-Jostica-

The sound of the gunfire rattling off at her illusion shocked whatever the next part of her plan had been clear out of her brain.

She’d already started to step out of cover to do whatever it was, so she had to think of something and fast. Fortunately, years of training kicked in. With only a moments hesitation she brought both hands together by her left hip and began charging the go-to combat spell of any spell-caster.

She spun out from cover and brought both hands up and thrust them forward.

The plasma ball rocketed across the room, hit one of the robbers in the chest, and sent him crashing into a tellers booth. Her hands started to pull back, but after a mere two inches her right hand flicked forward launching a smaller and much weaker plasma ball striking another robber in the shoulder, causing him to drop his gun. Her left hand pulled all the way back before striking forward, launching a plasma ball that knocked a third off his feet, but not across the room.

As she wound up another attack, her eyes widened in fear as she saw one of the gunmen pointing their rifle straight at her, and her next attack wasn’t ready.
