Royal Malice
A second knight fell, his mouth opening in a silent gasp as her dagger pierced through his neck.
A knight heard the gasps from their fellow knights and reached for the lamps, but that was the mistake.
I could hear my uncle’s voice in my head, “Fight darkness with darkness. Focus on the sound, focus on the whisper of air, don’t lose your calm, else you will die, no matter how skilled you are.”
Then a third. A fourth. Panic set in when their fellow knights did not answer after they heard the sound of metal clacking.
The remaining knights huddled closer together, their discipline fracturing. Someone fumbled with their lantern, the flame nearly dying before flaring back to life.
