After a well deserved sleep Valmus woke up feeling refreshed, and by his good luck he hadn't been attacked while unconscious.
His back had also surprisingly healed as the wound had already regenerated enough for a black layer of dried blood to cover the former open wound.
The shadows were merrily dancing around his body like exited children visiting an amusement park.
'They are young shadows, the old ones would never be as carefree.' He noted somehow able to tell the age of the shadows.
He steeped out of his cave to assess the situation only to be baffled in awe and a tinge of fear.
Right before his humble abode, were two nightmare creatures, bloodied and bruised they were both on their last legs with only one last clash left to decide the victor.
