Execution by Promotion?

Take a small team of soldiers and escort an old man behind enemy lines? Yes, the team includes the legendary warrior Lunn, but Harkin's "promotion" still sounds like a suicide mission.

Only a wizard would merit the risk. But this "wizard" acts like a simpleton. Slow pace, small smiles, refusing every request for spells.

Only thing worse than this mission? Seeing the wizard in action.

Not That Kind of Wizard, a high fantasy adventure short story of magic and war, of great heroes, and men thrust into circumstances they cannot comprehend. From Stefon Mears, author of Half a Wizard, Twice Against the Dragon and With a Broken Sword.
