Katherine was whistling a merry tune as she checked on the crops. She had just finished her chores and was now double checking to make sure she had tended to each and every one. That is, of course, until her eyes fell upon the barracks. It had red smoke. This was usually a warning that a threat was on it's way, and from what Felix had taught her, they were going to pass by here...

She wasn't sure how much time she had before they got there, but she didn't hear anything yet. Still...better get back home. Her Lightning tome and Heal staff where back there and she had to warn mother and father. Katherine dropped her tools and ran back. She didn't know either of them to be particularly good fighters. And nor was she, but her magic should be enough for some bandits....hopefully. She didn't know their number.

Kathy quickly entered the building, "Father! Mother! Bandits approach!" she said, rushing to her room to grab her tome and staff. "Please hide, I'll fend them off. I'd imagine help from the militia is on it's way, so all we need to do is hold out till they arrive." she left the little house, and ran to where she thought would be the best place to meet them. She was pretty scared, to be honest, but she wasn't about to let some bandits destroy her home and her family.
