Snippet #920012

Adriane stood in a small room, there was a single window and a door, books were strewn across the ground, containers and ripped pages and paper were covering the counter, and stains were almost everywhere. In front of the window there was a set of metal containers containing various amounts of crushed particles and different liquids. Each one was labeled and she was carefully measuring everything out. She was smiling, it had taken months of tests but tonight she would do it. She would finally perfect it, finally escape. Outside of the window she could her the priests going about their work, other gifted going about her lives. She laughed as she poured a yellowish dust into the mixture. Gifted, HAH, as if. constantly watched, used by the king, kept under wraps and placed in the temple. Well I will not stay in this prison, I had more freedom in that damnable maze then I have here. There was a knock on the door, a man wearing a long robe and holding a candle walked into the room. Her teacher, if he could be called that, didn't teach her anymore, she all but taught him. Annoyed and worried about the flame she snapped out "FOOL, GET THAT FLAME OUT OF HER. FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME I DO NOT WANT TO DIE TODAY." Taken aback the man stepped out of the room. His face was covered in surprise but quickly turned to anger. He placed the candle on the ground and stormed towards her. "HOW DARE YOU, I AM YOUR TEACHER, NOT ONLY THAT BUT I AM YOUR ELDER, CHILD YOU GO TO FAR." He slammed his fist on the table and the force knocked the mixture to the ground. A little bit of it hit the open flame and ignited quickly burning towards the rest till they went up as well. She jumped up on the table "YOU STUPID OLD MAN." She jumped on top of him and slammed her fist right into his jaw. it was no use though, he was stronger and pulled her off of him screaming "FIRE GET THE WATER" all the while Adriane screamed "NO GET SAND, SAND"

It was useless though, a man ran up and poured a bucket of water onto the small flame. All Adriane could do was look on in horror as the water hit the flame and created a fireball. The servant caught fire and started flailing trying to get it out. More servants came with water but it only caused the fire to blaze all the more. Suddenly there was a loud hissing noise and everything seemed to happen in slow motion. She took off down the hall and she had only made a few steps before a massive explosion blew her off her feet and down the hallway. She looked back to see the hallway in pieces and her room in shatters. The roof across the garden had caught fire and was blazing away. As she stood up she felt a stabbing pain in her leg. She looked down and saw a piece of wood had embedded itself in her leg. She grabbed it and with a yell pulled it out before carrying on down two flights of stair and out into the main temple complex. All hell was breaking loose and people, citizens, servants, all of them were running around as if the whole world was ending. Her bloodied self stumbling out of that wing of the complex only worsened matters. A servant with an empty bucket ran by and she grabbed onto his robe and threw the bucket to the ground. She screamed into his face "GO TO THE GARDEN AND GET SAND, ONLY SAND WILL PUT THE FLAMES OUT." The servant was taken aback but upon looking at her eyes he nodded. He ran off to the garden and returned with his bucket full of sand. She stumbled out of the temple into the street and made her way into the market. This was not what she wanted, not like this, this was too much. But it didn't matter, planned or not she was away, it had created the distraction and she was free. First thing first though she had to find a healer, if not the blood loss would end her freedom short. She looked back over her head to see the classroom and living quarters of the Temple ablaze. She shuddered and felt tears coming to her eyes. On accident or not, she was responsible for this, all this damage, the loss of life, it was all her fault. She limped away, bleeding and crying while the panic and rush ensued.
