The King's Mate
Five, ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred…
The King let out a loud curse from inside his head.
And before he could even process what was happening, a huge blow from his back suddenly hit him. He knew that it was fatal as he felt his back getting wet.
A loud growl suddenly escaped from the animal, trying to hide itself from the shadows of the forest. But even though the King couldn’t distinguish its scent, he tried to concentrate on the sound of its feet and body.
And when he made another attack, he instantly dodged it. But he felt like his feet suddenly became deep-rooted on the ground as he saw the rogue standing before him – with the help of the light coming from the bright moon.
