FADING SCARS

Year I

Intro

The rain pounded on the window pane.
Green jets of light flashed about the ruined house, as the cries of an infant wailed into the night.
Screams and thuds echoed throughout the decimated stone building.

A wizened old man ducked beneath a desk as another jet of light was sent towards him.
The derisive cackles of a young woman rang out as his makeshift barrier split apart.
The man whipped around the room, relentlessly firing jets of red light from the wand in his hand.
At last one jet of red light hit his target.
The woman fell to the ground, immobile, her face frozen with a snarl.
The man whisked himself to the next room as quickly as possible, not wishing to encounter any of the woman's cohorts.
A baby lay in a semi-demolished crib, tears streaking down her rosy cheeks.

"There, there young one, someday this will be just a distant dream in the past," he soothed to the cooing infant as he placed her in his arms.
With that, he made a loud 'pop', and he and the infant disappeared from the ruins of the once great house.
