Adventurers & knights (3)

A dozen of menacing shadows flew in the dark sky, eyeing the startled adventurers and knights on the ground below. Fear was visible in their expressions, a sweet emotion that fueled the shadows' excitement. The moment had come to take action before the inferior ones could offer meaningful resistance, and ruined the built-up appetite. The shadows descended, and the acceleration turned them into projectiles.

"Hiiii!!!"

One shadow alighted on an unprepared adventurer. In an instant, it crushed his head, as well as plans, like taking care of his sickly mother who had been living alone since his father passed away a year ago after the quest ended. The mother would not learn what befell her son until after a long time, if she was lucky to receive any news at all.

"Aagrhhh!"

"Get away!!"

"It huurrttsss!!!"
