The now lifeless body of the former Crown Prince Aerold of the Dawn Court, fell to the ground, joining the already two dead Shadowlords. A huge ball of Dark energy enveloped the three bodies for a few moments and when it finally lifted, all three bodies were gone from there.
Annalise and Esmeray watched everything in silence, neither daring to make the slightest of noise. But if they thought staying silent would keep them from getting noticed by the figure of Dark energy, they were so wrong.
The figure turned and faced the two of them, its malevolent darkness pointed toward them along with its anger and resentment.
Esmeray slowly pulled Annalise by her arm and pushed her behind him, shielding her with his body as he stood there tall and strong, facing the wrath of the Dark energy.
"You can't kill it." Annalise reminded the man standing in front of her, trying to understand what sort of idea he had to deal with the Dark energy.
