Excerpt: Dead and Back Again
“Glad you could join us, Prince Aradon,” Cador said calmly, his tone clearly saying that they would talk about this later. Aradon nodded slightly towards the council members before taking his seat next to his father, hoping his face wasn’t as red as it felt. Cador nodded to an elder council member at the far end of the table before sitting back down.
“Thank you, your Majesties,” the elf said with a slight bow. “I’m sorry about the sudden change of this meeting but it was necessary for the news I’m about to tell.” The elf paused for a moment to let his words sink in before continuing.
“As I’m sure you’re all painfully aware, parts of our fair forest have fallen into darkness. Fearsome creatures now room these woods, including giant spiders and Gorgs.” Aradon nodded absently with the others. Everyone in Leeman knew of this, but it wasn’t anything new and it certainly didn’t warrant a special council meeting.
Apparently Cador was thinking the same thing his son was. “Could you please get to the point?” The King said suddenly, looking the older elf in the eye. “We were told you had some serious new to report but so far all we’ve heard is what is common knowledge to every else in these woods.” The other council members murmured their agreement and the elder elf bowed slightly.
“Forgive me, my lord,” he said respectfully. “I was just giving some background information for your benefit but I see it is not needed. As you know I have been sifting through the reports that the scouts bring back, paying careful attention to any hints of spider attacks or Gorg invasions or what you. However, I received a new report that requires our attention immediately before all of Leeman is overrun.”
“Overrun by whom?” a younger council member asked suddenly, the uncertainty evident in his voice.
“Not whom,” the elder elf said gravely. “But what. According to the report I received the scouts have been disappearing from their posts at night only to be found dead the next morning completely drained of blood. Whatever this creature is, it is fast as an elf and just as strong and the attacks only occur at night.”
