We were able to kill two of the dark mages. Unfortunately, the others managed to flee before we could apprehend them. However, there was also a civilian casualty. Dan Sterling, the owner of The Black Emerald. I swallowed back the tide of emotions that washed over me at the mention of my father. He ran across the room towards where his daughter was hiding right as I shot a lightning bolt at one of the dark mages. Regrettably, it struck Dan Sterling instead. He died instantly. My head went unnaturally silent.
