Raistlin's cold and eerie gaze stopped Steel in mid-sentence. The mage waved his right hand and the whole tavern was filled with blinding white light, shocking everyone and stunning the Knight, sending him sprawling over the floor in awe and shock.
Tika and Flint fell back and shielded their eyes, only Tas widened his in curiousity.
Raistlin stood up, casting back his hood and all who saw him in the midst of the white blast truly believed that he was capable of ultimate power...
And suddenly the light was gone, except for the fire in his hourglass eyes.
"Nephew, know me as Raistlin Majere. I am the Master of the Past and Present. I went into the abyss and nearly defeated your Queen. But i didnt... my twin saved me.. and so did my other nephew, Palin. Now i have returned.."
Then Raistlin sat down again and merely stared at the fire. "But what u said was true.. i am an imposter.. i am not the powerful mage that is, was Raistlin." He turned and stared Steel in the eyes.. "Why? Because i have lost the MAGIC!"
Tas then stammered, "Then how did u do that bright light thingy, Raistlin?"
Raistlin smiled, a smile without humour or pleasure. His palm dribbled white powder onto the table.. "Flash powder, tas... "
"The magic.. flowing around me, forever eluding my grasps... the magic within..gone.. extinguished... why? i shud say its a gift," he whispered with a sarcastic smile " a gift from Her Majesty herself...reducing me to sleight of hand"
OOC: the setting is supposed to be when Krynn still had magic right? cool.. den its only Raistlin that has lost his magic.. imagine him to be like "returning from the abyss after being rescued by Palin from the Abyss.."
