Sylvester stood frozen, contemplating what to do with the Shadow Knight. He had the confidence to confront the being, just as he had done years ago when he was a mere Master Wizard. However, he questioned why the creature had not come after him for the past year. The last time he saw the creature was in the Duchy of Iceling when the Shadow Knight killed the 6th Guardian of Light.
Boom!
Lightning struck down from the heavens, hitting the castle walls and blasting a chunk of it. The Shadow Knight, unfazed and unbothered, continued to stare at Sylvester.
'If you're here for the Count, this isn't the time, buddy.' Sylvester prayed to himself that the creature wasn't there for the Count, at least not for the moment.
The lightning roared with each strike, and the rain intensified. It was the first time Sandwall County had received so much rainfall.
