The Brand
And The Cowardice
In the dimly lit forest road two dwarves would meet their old king now turned into an undead abomination,
they draw their weapons not realizing the real threat lurking behind them. Two undead emerged from the dark together with their
fallen master, they apprehended the young female. The Mage did cast the vortex of voidal flames to save her yet the Weaver
fast as the shadow themselves caught him with his hand by the face. Many thoughts ran trough the Magi's head as he
caught the glimpse of familiar silhouette.
"Tho-"
Yet the attackers piercing gaze, as cold as the grave, was locked onto surprised dwarven fire mage marking his demise.
The child used this moment to run away, dodging the ghoul king's spear choosing cowardice over honor.
The Mage fell down lifelessly on the dirt path shortly after with black handprint seared into his forehead, contrasting sharply against his sun-kissed skin.
The Weaver mocked the child with an eerie laughter as he turned towards her, already out of his reach.
Then the fallen were gone with the body and only silence remained, for now...
