• ninja I heard weird noises up stairs. Lillian heard them to. We heard shouts and calls. Me and Lillian ran up the tower stairs. We broke open threw the door and looked in the room. I heard men running up the stairs behide us. Lillian cried out and I looked back. Beside "The Staff of Hope" stood a cloaked figure.
    "Don’t touch that!" Lillian screamed. The figure chuckled and Lillian froze. "No! It can’t be!" She said. The figured laughed and said "It is….the Blood Sorcerer." He grabbed the staff and leaped out the window. The tower shook and everything in the room seemed to die. The flowers in the window wilted and the birds stopped singing. The men downstairs screamed and some of them ran away. The rest came up and saw me and Lillian. "He took it!" one said "He took the staff!" They ran downstairs and I looked out the window. Some of them tried to fight the sorcerer but died in front of him. I ran down the stairs leaving Lillian who was in shock. I walked out of the tower and saw the Blood Sorcerer. "Stop!" I cried and launched at him but he flew into midair. Flames trailing behide him. Lillian ran out behide me. She looked up. "Why did you say that up there? Do you know him?" Lillian stared at anger. "He’s the one who killed my parents." She said. I looked at her and I felt bad that I asked. Lillian was knocked to the ground then. The men of the village grabbed her and punched her. "Get off her!" I screamed shoving one off her. "She brought him here! The Silver Dove!" She tried to shove them off screaming "It wasn’t me!" My father came and kicked her in the ribs. "Dad!" I screamed. "Your pathetic friend caused this!" She deserved it." he got out his gray sword. Lillian saw them drawing weapons. She huddled into a ball and was whispering some words. A pale green light glowed around her and she got up and ran. She ran so fast that the air knocked all the men down and I couldn’t she her no more.
    I snuck away as the men looked in the houses for her. I ran down to the creek and up the hill. On top of the hill stood the apple tree. I called out Lillian’s name. Her head appeared in the leaves of the tree. She jumped down. "Shawn I must go." She said. She was dressed in gray armor now with little white stoned in the metal and held a spear. "Wait where?" I asked. She started walking away. "I’m going to find the staff and give life back to the village. Also to prove that I didn’t do it." I walked with her and said "I’m going with you." She looked at me and smiled and said "Alright, let’s go." ninja
