Tirahan stood sedately, his eyes closed in deep meditation. Suddenly his eyes shot open as he let out a groan. "I sense the winds of magic being corrupted. There is an evil presence somewhere nearby." Tirahan sensed that the evil Dark magic was being used. He closed his eyes as he attempted to dispel the evil intonatations, his forehead racked in effort. He let out another groan and opened his eyes. "This magic user is powerful. We must stop these Dark Incantations, and quickly!"

By the beads of sweat dripping from the normally strong mages head, his servants knew that this was a serious matter. Grabbing their weapons, they followed the magic user as he strode forward.

This scenario represents the magical struggle between Tirahan and the Sorceress Soerdan the Dark Shadow.
