They locked eyes; unflinching.
Naked trees susurrated to one another behind them, a crowd of mumbling onlookers, waiting in hushed anticipation for what might rise from the depths of the beast's chest. When a warrior stepped into battle and fought with a stare as hard as rock, would he back down at the first challenge? Would he cower in trepidation, skin trembling and wounds weeping? No.
Only a craven would.
The dark knight stepped forward from the tenebrosity, pushing away the seething shadows to close the distance between them. Flicker had opted to meet his stare, a challenge, and one he'd meet - the wolves who tempted him would learn soon enough that he was not to be tested. He could so easily flip the tables, be the guard, the puppet master, and they'd never even realise. Did she wish to join his list?
Before they could breathe the same air, her gaze was averted, and eyes of crisp beryl surveyed her, as though assessing prey before opting to stalk. At least she had a wisp of intelligence locked inside her skull. "And why should I let you step into the Weald?"

If I cannot bend Heaven,
I will raise Hell.
I will raise Hell.
