-Ronan-
I look around, seeing shadows closing in from all directions. It feels like they’re climbing the walls, forming one massive wave of death heading straight toward me. They caught us off guard tonight, but we’re always prepared for battle.
“Kieran, we have to scatter them. There are too many,” I shout, grabbing the arm of my best warrior.
Kieran meets my eyes. “I have a plan, my king!” he says before running off.
I swing my sword just as a wolf lunges at me, only to be met by another attacker. I grab him, bite into his neck, rip it apart, and toss him aside. But we’re being pushed back. It won’t be long before I’m standing back-to-back with my warriors. This is exactly what we hoped to avoid—getting trapped in close quarters—but there’s no choice. They attack from every angle.
