The Duke readied himself for a fight to protect his beloved wife at all costs. The aura of his red glowing sword blazed brightly.
He could see the flames of his weapon reflected in Faye's frightened, sapphire-blue eyes.
He and his knights converged on Aaron.
Aaron slowly reached up and peeled back the thick hood that had been concealing his face, revealing a sinister smirk as he locked eyes with Sterling.
The faint light from the clouded sky danced off his smug expression, casting eerie shadows across his features.
The air around them seemed to thicken with unease as he taunted, his voice dripping with disdain.
"You and your so-called mighty knights actually believe you can defeat me? How amusing."
Sterling could sense something was off and not right about their situation. Aaron seemed overly confident, arrogant and not scared by him and his comrades.
