The first spell the youth cast was the spell of protection, A spell all planeswalkers learned or were killed for lack of. Without this spell, even a planeswalker was simply a human, a human easily killed by a stray bolt of fire or a lucky swordsman. With the spell he had a margin of protection from the many dangers in this world. The shield would protect him from likely all but the most powerful of spells and the most tenacious of warriors.

The next spells he chanted were spells of influence, reaching out over lands to grip the energy of the world known as "Mana". Winds began to whirl around him as the youth smiled, feeling the familiar rush of power. Gathering the energy, he chanted another spell, a summon. Glimmering motes formed in the air and coalesced into a birdlike construct appeared made entirely from gleaming gold, it's eyes glowing with intelligence.

A myr.

The myr seemed confused at first, turning this way and that before kneeling and picking up clawful of dirt. As the myr began to work the youth chanted another spell to extend his influence even further. The youth turned back to the myr to see a sphere of white where the dirt had once been. He did not question it, he did not need to know how the myr performed this duty, only that it could perform it.

The youth had begun to ready more spells when a snarling creature bounded up the mountain and slammed into his shield, bouncing off and away. The creature picked itself up and the youth could see it for what it was. A goblin with mottled red skin, tiny eyes and sharp teeth. The goblin crouched, wary this time and the youth took the opportunity to absorb the energy of his lands once more. He reviewed his available spells but realized he hadn't enough to summon what he wanted to until the myr tapped him on the shoulder and offered him the glowing sphere. Grinning, the youth accepted the sphere from the myr and absorbed it chanting another summoning spell.

A blaze of white blinded all who watched as an archangel came into being. She was clad in silver armour. Twin swords, both larger than an ordinary man could wield were held in her hands and she lifted them with no trouble at all. The goblin's fear instinct took over and it fled back down the mountain towards it's master.

The youth grinned again, he had an early advantage now. He prepared to send the angel at his opponent but two red tinged bolts of lightning slammed into the angel. The angel vanished and with it's dissappearance the goblin charged again, now flanked by two of it's friends. The frenzied attacks struck his shield as each swung whatever crude weapon they carried before he flung them away, with some of his latent magic, pushing them off them off the mountain. They would be back, goblins are tougher than they often appear.

The youth worked quickly, wary should teh goblins return any second and expanded his Influence once more. He gratefully took another sphere of energy from the golden myr and channelled his energies to summon a second myr alongside the first. The second myr was different, It was a burnished bronze colour and lightning seemed to crackle around it before arcing electricity struck the two golden myr. The other myr accepted the lightning and seemed to absorb it, their eyes glowing brighter.

As if on cue, the goblins charged up the mountainside once more only this time to be met by blurs of metal. The three myr moved to intercept the goblins perfectly, acting on their newfound strength at the commands of their creator when the another bolt of lightning arced to strike the bronze coloured myr, Acting quickly, the youth pulled one of the golden myr back and took a sphere of energy from it, channelling the energy into a spell of protection. The lightning struck the galvanizer but it simply ignored it, instead focusing on the goblin in front of it. The empowered gold myr and the galvanizer myr made quick work of the two attacking goblins with their claws while the third goblin was thrown away again after landing another blow on his shield, causing the shield to fade perceptibly.

The youth seemed perturbed, his shield was already showing signs of wear, and he had yet to strike a single blow against the enemy. He chanted another spell when a roaring sound filled his ears.

"What?"

A fireball struck the galvanizer myr, melting half of it to slag. The light in it's eyes fading. The youth stared blankly, feeling no attachment to the robotic construct, another could always be summoned.

The youth turned back to the valley as a goblin war-cry rose up. The youth began to chant a new spell with some of his power to summon a new protector but then paused. Drawing energy from all the lands around him he simply vaporized the four attacking goblins as they leapt at him up the mountainside. The youth did not even smile, goblins are cheap and there would be more of them soon.
