The Butcher Of Moonshadow Grove

Archer watched Albert stroke a strand of black hair off Mia's face as he spoke. ''My love. They will pay for what they did to you.''

His grandfather turned his head and called out. ''Merric. Heal her while I deal with the King.''

''Yes, commander!'' A slim man with brown hair appeared out of the forest and took hold of Mia.

Before Albert could rush off, another man interjected. ''Commander, if you go through with this, the emperor will be displeased. He may punish you.''

A pair of ice-blue eyes turned on the man and spoke in an unbridled rage. ''They hurt my wife, Theodore! The Moonshadow King will answer to my axe!''

Without another word, a boom was heard as Archer watched Albert sprint toward the city. He was dragged along and witnessed the old man go crazy as he leaped into the air and aimed for the city's gate.
