His Royal Breeder
A Shadow-Stalker jumped through the broken window and It was a nightmare come to life.
It had no face, only a mouth full of yellow teeth. It moved like a spider, crawling on the walls with its long, bony fingers.
"Ariana, get back!" my father, Aragon, yelled.
He didn't wait. He jumped at the monster and hit the creature so hard that its head exploded against the wall and black, oily blood sprayed everywhere.
But more were coming. Ten, twenty, fifty monsters began to crawl over the castle walls and through the windows.
