Snippet #1543360

'Necessary risks would have to be taken.' He thought, 'However, if it works, we might find out if they're working for our enemies.' Waiting until Listel was safely away, and the Princess was in the other room. He sighed heavily and remained alone in the room for quite sometime longer, the likelihood of his plan actually working was at the greatest, as this part of the house was facing the forest, easy for an attack, and one that he would simulate, keeping a smug smile on his face.

His smile briefly lasted as he whirled his hands around each other, forming a small ball of pure energy, similar to what he had done with the crossbow. He then took a couple of steps back from the wall, and tossed it. "They're here! Get out of the h---!" He began to shout, though was cut off, as the small ball slammed into the wall facing the forest. Immediately after the ball hit the wall, it sent out an explosion that shook the very foundation of the house. Sending shards of glass, and splintered wood in virtually every direction. Valatar barely had the time to react, as something sharp tore into his left shoulder, piercing through the leader armor as it did. This had caused him to recoil to the left, falling down, however, hardly having time to notice the wound, he pushed himself back quickly as a beam fell and landed near where he was. 'Not exactly what I wanted, but it works.' He thought, forcing himself to his feet, and pushing the door behind him open further.

Shortly after the door was pushed open further, the living room area began filling with smoke, and the sound of crackling fire could be heard, and seen, as Valatar stumbled out of the room. "Let's go." He shouted, making his way to the front door, clutching his shoulder.
