Midnight's Promise
“There were no windows, no doors. Only mind-numbing blackness and the ever-present shadow figure that slashed his flesh again and again.
Malcolm wanted to fight the figure, but it was as if his limbs were stuck in honey. He couldn’t move them quickly enough to do any damage to the individual.
Not even Malcolm’s enhanced sight allowed him to see what was attacking him. It melded with the darkness as if it were part of it, controlling it.
Malcolm bellowed in fury as his back was cut. His leg buckl...ed and he fell to one knee. Blood poured down his back and his chest. His hands were covered in it, which made it impossible for him to grab hold of anything.
His entire body hurt. It wasn’t just the slashes. It was inside. His bones, his muscles … everything felt as if it were dying.
He threw back his head, his arms out to the side, as he called up Daal. But his god didn’t answer.
It was as if Daal had ceased to exist.
Malcolm braced his left hand on the ground since his right arm refused to work.MoreLess
