The Five Kingdoms

Intro

After just having settled the borders of the five kingdoms the capital of Cre-Destu could not be any merrier.  People were singing in the streets, feasting and getting drunker than they ever had.  The war was over.  The five kingdoms could finally begin to repair from the war.  Minutes later, everything has changed.  People are running and screaming.  Fires are raging and nobody knows whats going on.  People march in an orderly fashion, watching as a person looks at the destruction.  He looks from fire to fire and watches as a man tackles and rips the flesh off of another person.  He smiles slightly, before disappearing in an eruption of flame.

"Hear ye! hear ye! Attack on Distruck! Hundreds are dead! The King has ordered in the army! War is raging in the streets! The other kingdoms have been put on high alert!" The town crier cries out.  Everyone turns to look as he gives the information.  As he finishes hushed whispers fall over the crowd.

"What could have happened?"

"The king called in the army?"

"Has the Master heard?"

"What will we do?"

I look around and observe everyone.  Nobody seems to be panicked but nobody is calm either.  The attack on the capital seems to have worried them but I don't think the full implications have sank in yet.

"Jay." I hear my name.  I turn and see a few bricks from a wall have shifted to form a face.  "You must come to the academy now.  All alchemists have been called back due to the recent attack.  You have one hour to prepare and teleport here."  The stones shift back to the normal wall and I turn to go back home.  I know that the academy is run by strict rules, as it is a military school, so I had better hurry and arrive ahead of time.  I arrive at home and quickly pack my books and tools, that alone nearly takes an hour.  I reach behind my bed, where I have my emergency magic.  I pull out a crystal and throw it on the ground.

"The academy." I mutter and a Blue shimmer envelops me, I feel like I am being pulled apart then squished over and over until I arrive in an overly crowded hallway.
