Elena's eyes widened, and her face turned pale as she saw a dark mist swirling around the bed.
The strange smoke twisted and drifted unnaturally, making her chest tighten in fear.
"You… who are you? How did you get here?" she shrieked aloud in a sharp voice filled with panic. Her hands clutched the edge of the bed as her body trembled.
"Guards… Knights!" she cried out desperately, but no one came. Her screams vanished into silence, and the room remained empty.
The black smoke slowly gathered, taking the form of a man. A twisted, evil grin stretched across his lips as his figure solidified.
"No one is going to hear you," he said coldly. "They have already been taken down."
Elena's heart pounded violently.She raised out her hands and immediately shot out a few spells,the best she could muster at the moment however…
The spells went through the smoke.
