Fantasy work in progress

I started writing a sequel to WECU and was embedding a fantasy movie in the story, but decided that it was too much. I'm now just working on the fantasy part as a standalone story. The following is a sample.

The remaining oil lamps were fading, as were the hopes of defeating the first wraith to be spawned in the Deadlands disaster. Obergon, the oldest of the Khouri sorcerers, tried to hide the sadness with determination. He would soon begin the transfers of the last of his companions. They had retreated to the deepest part of the temple, built in the cave at the center of an extinct volcano. They blocked the entrance with furniture and rocks that were light enough to pile up by hand or move with their waning magic. The wraith’s minions were mindlessly tearing at the barricades from the outside and it would not be long.
