Excerpt
Her husband was trying to fight them off, but this was a farming village. These were not warriors and would have been an easy conquest for this group.
If there was one thing Leon hated, it was cowards. And going after a group of innocent people who couldn’t defend themselves was the biggest show of cowardice he could imagine.
He and his men launched into battle, cutting down all those who sought to harm his people. They moved smoothly together, as men who had spent nearly every waking moment training.
The fighting came to a stop and Leon searched for anyone else who might do them harm. He was just sheathing his sword when a sharp pain shot through his body.
What? He looked down to see a blade protruding from his stomach.
Is that screaming? Why are they screaming again? He fell to his knees, his vision blurry as the battle raged around him once more.
Why couldn’t he seem to focus on anything?
“Come Leon, let’s get you back. Lady Carissa can help you!”
“What happened?”
“There were more hiding we’ve got them but we must go now.”
“But the people.” He insisted.
“We will be fine.” One of the men at his side had been the husband fighting for his family.
His mind was racing, completely unable to latch on to a single thought. Was this dying? Was he going to die today?
