TAP! TAP! TAP!
Heavy footsteps echoed through the long stone corridor.It was slow and deliberate yet each step sounded like a hammer striking a coffin. Torches along the walls flickered violently as if reacting to the presence that approached.
SWOOSH.
A terrifying aura burst outward that was cold and suffocating. Knights standing on both sides of the corridor stiffened. Their hands trembled on their weapons. One by one, they stepped back, lowering their heads, clearing a path without daring to speak.
A burly, monstrous man walked forward.
His body was huge, almost unnatural. Thick muscles stretched beneath the dark shirt,and every step he took cracked the stone floor slightly. His eyes were dull yet sharp, like those of a beast that had tasted blood too many times. He moved until he reached the end of the hall.
