A man took a stroll on a dark and cloudy night. He turned around the corner of an alleyway, seeing the castle looming over the village. It looked the same, just as he remembered it. He glared at the castle, it looked like he despised being near it, despite that, he walked closer to the castle. There was a knight standing there, with hair as white as the moon. The man stepped out of the shadows and glared at the guard, his Atlantic blue eyes looking sharp in the moonlight. “Knight… What are you doing here?” Said the man with jet black hair, which gleamed in the moonlight. Knight replied, “I'm guarding the castle from you, of course. You should know this, by now. Shadow… What are you doing here? Going to charm your way in again?”
Knight had the faintest smirk on his lips, it was gone as soon as it appeared. Shadow let out a small chuckle, his tone was one with amusement, “No… Charming is something you would do, I would fight or use magic.”Knight laughed and dropped his guard a bit. “Well, at least I didn’t accidentally turn into an animal in front of the princess, now did I?” Knight said accusingly, the faintest trace of humor could be heard in his voice. “Well, the funny thing is she liked it… How unfortunate her death took her so soon… How is the king?” Shadow said, his voice becoming softer. “Passed…” Knight replied. A tear ran down Shadow’s cheek. “You mean… The royal family is dead?” Shadow looked shocked. “Unfortunately.” Knight said, a grimace on his face, his eyes looking sad.
