I am travelling with a small boy, trying to get him to his parents. He has been seperated for a very long time. His father is a very powerfull warlord and intends to have my travelling party killed. As we travell in caves and forests it is vitally important to keep watch and look for signs of assassins or other attackers. The boy does not want to return to his family but with some persuasion. I am able to get him to understand how much his father cares for him, and that even though his father may be a cruel tyrant at times, he still has a depth of feeling and a capacity for pain and loss. The child agrees to see his father before making a final decision about whether or not to return to his home city. I accept that as a fir comprimise.
At that moment we are attacked by ninja assassins. Catching us totally by surprise, I am only albe to produce a flash of blinding light from my fingertips and eyes. The ninjas are disoriented just long enough for the child to be spirited away to safty by one of my leutinants as I prepare to kill these that attack me. I can feel my insides roasting like a power battery.
