Five dark knights
Aradel and her companions moved in single file along the open field towards the dark fortress of the black knights. Many people who had gone there had not returned. As a child Aradel was fascinated but at the same time afraid of this place. Her parents had told her countless stories and tales of the mysterious keep and the people that resided there. Frogurt had his head bowed looking at the ground while the other two looked around with their swords at the ready. Frogurt suddenly bumped into something hard. He looked up to see a towering figure looking down at him. A black knight. His armour was black as night and his sword was drenched with blood. Aradel and Venom prepared for battle with their swords and shields ready for war. Frogurt took a strike but the blow did nothing. The knight did not even move. 'None shall pass.' The knight said strictly. Aradel took a step forward. 'My name is-' 'NONE SHALL PASS!' the knight bellowed. 'We outnumber you, knight, you cannot win.' Venom quipped. 'Is that so?' the knight mocked. Suddenly, from behind him, five other black knights formed a line next to their comrade. The knights began to laugh at the three heroes. As quick as a cat, Aradel cast a wind strike at one of the knights, blowing him backwards. Venom threw a steel dagger at another, striking home in the chest of the leader knight. He growled in agony as Frogurt took a swing of his sword at the third, cutting him down. The knight slumped to the ground and then Frogurt finally gave the final blow, stabbing him in the chest. Aradel finished off the wounded leader knight by casting a fire strike, then the knight burst in flames and withered on the ground, burning up.
