The castle walls hung in heavy silence.

A cold chill came from the library and faint whispers.Corin had been keeping an eye on the advisor for awhile now. And he showed signs of betrayal tonight proved it. Corin edged along the walls to the library and paused by the door he could hear the advisor talking to someone.

“Your good at what you do”

There was a pause then he continued

“I want you to kill him tonight, and you will be rewarded.”

The silence was eerie the person he was talking to didn’t respond but the advisor seemed shocked

“What? What do you mean there’s an intruder?!.”

Corin bolted down the corridor running through the maze of passways until he ran into the throne room out of breath. King Stephen sat in his throne talking to one of his generals then gave Corin a curious look

“Everything alright? “

Corin took a moment to catch his breath

“The- advisor- is a traitor! “ Corin said and the moment the word left his mouth the advisor came in with a figure clad in black

The figure wore a hood consealing it’s face

The air felt heavy Corin went pale when he saw the death mage

“Kill him “ said the advisor

The deathmage held its staff and uttered a curse in dragon tongue a black light emerged from the staff aimed for the king

Corin jumped it the way it hit his body like a shockwave he hit the ground and writhed in pain a scream teared from this throat.

Once the pain subsided the death mage stood over him

And uttered a binding spell and dropped his staff by Corin like a magnet it attached to his arm and Black Plague slowly appeared on his hand. Corin looked and say that the king was dead
