A Slip of Shadow

The Necromancer however was not so easily detained. Eriks hands suddenly closed on thin air as the body held within them vanished in a cloud of ash that sent the giant reeling back struggling to breath.

There was a flash of eldritch green power as the huge beast Naurfast was sent flying across the room. Amdir in turn was flung from his back and came sliding to a halt at the feet of the Necromancer. He stood now at the foot of a narrow spiral stair case that rose up into the ceiling.

Seeing him so close Amdir snarled in rage and hurled herself at the black mage and quick as snake he whipped out his arm and caught her about the throat. Choking she drew two wicked looking blades from her belt and plunged them into the Necromancers body and he howled in rage and pain before snapping her neck like a twig.

The room was still and silent for the briefest of moments as the body of Amdir fell heavily to the floor. Naurfast snarled in mindless anger seeing his mistress slain and charged towards the dark figure.
