Echoes Of Darkness

As the knights emerged from the grand halls of Elyrian Keep, the fading light of the setting sun cast a golden glow over the bustling city streets. Captain Elias paused for a moment, his gaze drifting upwards towards the darkening sky as the first stars began to twinkle into view.

Nightfall was fast approaching, and with it came a sense of urgency that hung heavy in the air. Elias could feel the weight of the day's events pressing down upon him, the burden of responsibility settling like a leaden weight upon his shoulders.

"Men," he called out, his voice cutting through the din of the crowded street. "Find a place to rest for the night. Take the boy with you – get him cleaned up and fed. We'll be leaving at first light."

His words were met with nods of understanding from his companions, their expressions weary but resolute. They set off into the city, their footsteps echoing against the cobblestone pavement as they searched for shelter from the coming night.

Meanwhile, Elias turned to his vice-captain, Marcus, who stood at his side with a look of grim determination. "Make sure everyone gets some rest," he instructed, his voice low but firm. "Keep an eye on them – I don't want anyone getting into trouble."

Marcus nodded in silent agreement, his gaze scanning the crowd for any signs of trouble. "I'll see to it, Captain," he replied, his voice steady despite the weariness that etched lines upon his face. "Rest assured, I'll keep them in line."

With his men taken care of, Elias turned his attention to the task that lay ahead – a meeting with Lord Edward Blackwood, the powerful nobleman who held sway over the city. It was a meeting that filled him with a sense of unease, but one that he knew was necessary if he hoped to uncover the truth behind the recent attacks on the villages surrounding Elyrian Keep.

As he made his way through the crowded streets towards Blackwood Manor, Elias couldn't shake the feeling of foreboding that gnawed at his insides. The road ahead would be fraught with danger and uncertainty, but he was determined to see it through to the end – whatever the cost.
