FWOOSH!
A writhing, terrifying shadow erupted from the Queen's own feet.
Soren immediately rushed to attack her but.....
CLANG! CRASH!
Soren's twin daggers sparked violently against the broadsword of the King's personal shadow guard who immediately intercepted him. The guard, a towering brute with a scarred face, pressed his advantage, forcing Soren back into the corner of the throne room.
Meanwhile, the shadow under the queen's feet expanded rapidly, coalescing into a tall, gaunt figure wrapped in tattered black cloth. His face was hidden beneath a hood, but two glowing, crimson eyes pierced the darkness. A pair of curved daggers, dripping with a sickly green poison, gleamed in his hands.
Varkos. Bjorn's hidden adoptive brother. An Early Origin Realm Shadow Assassin.
The temperature in the room plummeted from the sheer killing intent radiating from the assassin.
