Drabic stirred. His eyes opened and the sound of the world hit him like a stone. Men crying out has they were cut down by the wizard. Drabic stood. He saw the wizard on his knees casting deadly spells one after another.
"Enough of this." Drabic summoned all the strength he could manage, the world around him became as thick as molasses. Movements slowed. The world itself felt like it would stop moving. The intruding wizard noticed what Drabic was attempting. He cast a bolt of lightning at Drabic. When it hit the bubble being created it slowed to the speed of a snail. Drabic was bending time. He was slowing time it self. The wizard cast spell after spell at him. Hoping to kill him, but at that point it was hopeless. He stepped aside avoiding every spell with ease. With a great effort he expanded the bubble. He surrounded the wizard. The intruder was stuck unable to move, his limbs flexed. You could see the strain on his face. But he was not fast enough to react. Drabic walked over and placed a finger to his head.
"Sleep." With that the wizard fell unconscious.
****
"Wake up." Drabic said with a jolt of lightning shooting from his finger hitting the wizard. He woke with a start. "Do you know where you are?" The wizard did not respond. "Ok something easier. What is your name?" Nothing, the wizard just stared. "Why make this difficult on yourself. Surely you know I will get the information I want."
"You will get nothing from me." The wizard said in a calm voice.
"Do you believe you can withstand the pain? That the trials you went through to become a wizard will help you endure what I will do? You forget, I went through those same trials. What I will do to you will make that feel like a massage from a lovely woman."
The wizard continued staring. "You will get nothing traitor."
"We shall see won't we." Lightning shot from Drabic's hand hitting the wizard. A cry sprang up from the wizard. "Again what is your name?" Silence. Another more intense jolt shot at the wizard. "What is your name!?"
"ERIS!"He said through the excruciating pain.
"Good Eris, now that wasn't so hard was it? If you answer my questions you can avoid any further punishment" Eris had a determined look on his face."aw aw aw don't even think about using magic. I have put a block on you while you were unconscious. I knotted up you han so tightly it will take you a month to unravel it. Good guard to wizards life fire if you ask me. I am sure you would love nothing more then to kill your self and take me with you."
Drabic had a few tricks. He might not have been as powerful as some but he made up for it with cunning and knowledge.
"Now Eris, Lets start with something a little harder. Why were you sent here?" Again nothing. A violent whip of air struck the wizard on the back, another, another, another. "You do not want me to get creative Eris. I will have you talk one way or another."
The screams that emanated from the tent for the next 10 hours were ungodly. Hardened soldiers began to quiver when they heard the wizard shriek.

Captain Torak approached the tent. He had waited the night for Drabic to break the wizard. Now was the time.
"How goes it?"
"Well." Drabic replied. "His name is Eris. He was sent to kill General Alaric. They used a web to get passed our defenses. I now know that web, and can prevent it from working again."
"Good." Torak replied.
"He and the Mord-Sith were sent to kill the general and I just as he thought. He says Rahl is scared that he can not win in direct combat. Though he will try."
"When? Where." Torak asked intensely
"We were just getting to that part." Drabic turned to Eris. Broken and bloodied. "Where will Rahl attack from?" Eris looked up from the floor one eye was swollen shut."Now Eris remember all the things I told you I would do to you with wizards fire. How I will place small amounts on you that will burn down to your bone. How I will render certain parts of you anatomy inoperable. Tell the Captain and I what we want to know." With another jolt of lightning, Eris began to weep.
"From the north. He will attack from the north."
"Good. Rest now we will talk again later."
Torak and Drabic left the tent.
"Can we be sure?" Torak asked.
"You did not see what I did to him. He would not lie."
"Good. I will go prepare our forces for a attack from the north. You well Drabic. Alaric would be proud."
Torak left to gather the rest of the commanders to create a battle plan.
