The Last Struggle
As the Capatian soldiers closed in, I took a deep breath, my mind racing with the urgency of the situation. I couldn't let them take my family. No matter what I'd defend each and every one of them.
With a rapid burst of mana, I launched myself into action, unleashing a barrage of spells upon the approaching enemies. Fireballs shot from my hands, incinerating several soldiers in their path. The ground beneath their feet trembled as I used earth magic to create pitfalls, causing some to stumble and fall.
But the Capatian soldiers were relentless and for every one I took down, two more seemed to take their place. I fought with everything I had, but the odds were against me, but I had to win.
After putting some distance between me and the attackers, I looked up assessing the current situation. I was exhausted and there were five of them remaining, with the strongest one being their leader, 'I need to take him out first. If he falls, the rest of them will capitulate,' I thought.
