A/N: Forget Hogwarts and all that The Battlespire is my favorite wizard school where weird stuff happens like the gates of Oblivion opening because of course that would happen at some place like that. I should really replay Battlespire once I clear through more of my game backlog.
Flash Fiction February 2025 Day 8 Prompt: Escape
Who would have thought that of all places in the world the place to be invaded by a horde of monsters would be The Battlespire? I certainly didn’t think of it as a possibility, it’s one of the safest places I can think of to exist, or at least previously one of the safest. The war college for the Imperial Battle Mages housed in a rather peculiar realm all its own secluded from the rest of civilization with only the best and brightest as students. Graduates become employed as battle mages for the Empire often in high ranking positions due to skills in both magic and the various forms of martial arts. Sneaking through the hallways trying not to be seen by friend or foe I attempt to think of an escape plan. My searching for an exit proves to be futile, there is no convenient escape from this place, I’m not sure there is any working exit at all anymore. There must be some way out, there has to be, even if that means climbing out a window, levitating up through a chimney, or some other unconventional to frankly ridiculous plan. After searching more I discover more bad news regarding the students, instructors, and staff, a friend of mine included as I attempt to find out the cause of the calamity. It seems the only way out is through then as I cannot just simply abandon them to save my own skin. Taking a sword from a display rack hanging on the wall and conjuring armor, as I find the metal kind too clunky, I turn back towards the portal where hordes come tumbling out in search of destruction and death. There is no escape, not for me, and certainly not for them.
