This one gets a little more angsty, and violent, but nothing higher than the books.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN: PROTECT
Artham tried to focus as he slayed beast after beast on his way back to the castle.
But his mind mourned. Mourned his wife…Arundelle.
He had deeply loved her since he was thirteen. He remembered hardly being able to speak to her as a child.
She was gone. It filled him with rage, and he killed five beasts with one swipe.
His children…
Another seven dead.
Esben…
Ten in one swipe.
Wendolyn…
His sword plunged into two.
His home…
He pushed the monsters back; his castle was in sight.
His family…
“I’m coming Esben!”
Behind him, he felt his head hit. He fell down, and then he looked up. He saw his brother, with a gash on his forehead.
“Esben!”
He was on his feet in moments, and he felled two more with his bare hands.
“Try to cooperate lad,” a cool voice said.
He turned his head and saw Bonifer Squoon.
“You maggot!” Artham shouted, about to lunge, but he was seized from behind and knocked so hard he drew blood.
“Your brother made a deal. The gem…for your life. You see, your sister wanted Esben, but we could do what we wished with you. And since you seem to be a bit of a nuisance, the Fangs didn’t want to keep you around. But your brother gave us something…much more valuable than you in exchange for you.”
Bonifer smiled.
Artham was so confused and angry. He was about to say something, but then he was knocked unconscious.
