The Emblem

The noise of the battle was incredible, swords slamming against swords. Evangeline shoved her way through the guards surrounded her. She disarmed one of the guards and kicked his legs out from under her. Melian was behind her, armed with a long sword that Evangeline did not know where she got it.

Evangeline could smell blood filled in the air now as she darted among the close-pack gentry. She could smell panic and fear from them. In a swift move, a shadow passed across Evangeline. She heard Melian cried out in surprise. The Erlking stood before her eyes. She saw his gold-blue eyes glittered with excitement, hunger, and bloodlust.
