Dalynia - Nature's Slaughter

Time is running out for the people of Aazronia. Besieged by abominations, Magistrate Marcus flees to the druid homeworld to seek the help of the Druid Mother. He must battle his way past the rabid infestation that blocks his path to safety. As he prepares to retake his home, his only thoughts lie with the thousands of Aazronians that lay dying in their homes.With Magistrate Marcus leading his men as they tried to repel the attackers of his beloved Aazronians, their exhaustion was apparent. Their magic diminished as they weakened through fatigue – the abomination army was strong, but the Aazronians needed to be stronger. As the Magistrate called on the Medallion of Justice around his neck to intensify, it lit up – his Storm Wizard magic was now at its strongest; the arc of electricity which raced through the air headed in the several directions it was needed, doing the necessary eliminations amongst gratifying explosions.As the Wizard Legion rallied around one another, they fought on – they were desperate to protect the portal for as long as they were able. Suddenly Marcus received a mind message from Gwin – they were to return; the portal was to be opened. Marcus led his Legion toward the safety of the Druids – but would they be successful? Would there be more lives lost on their journey?Reviewed by Goodreads. 4 stars."This short story was very enjoyable – a fast paced, action packed piece of writing with lots of creatures, wizards and magic interspersed – a quick and easy read. I have no hesitation in recommending it to lovers of scifi and fantasy." -Brenda
