...start one on a dry summer night. Let’s hope it was only that; and if it turns out to be as unnatural as these rumours say then I’ll send it up to the King’s High-Marshall. I expect it’s only silly rumour. People are jumping at shadows these days. The priests can consecrate the ground, and that will hopefully put the fears to rest. It will turn out to be nothing I’m sure; just another false alarm, put about by frightened and excitable people at a time of stress.

NB - Magic is illegal in this world due to religion and also past events. People found using it are tortured and killed as per the Spanish Inquisition or Medieval Witch Hunts. Most people who have a gift for magic have a small specific gift that is usually not dangerous so they are helpless to save themselves if discovered - so it could work.

This is something I wrote ages ago - and I have a ton more of it, but I thought it would be fun to mess around with.
