Ghosts

A shimmering flicker, almost invisible in the mists. Slowly descending through the ruins and silently floating in the dark behind the small band of brave souls.

The warriors felt tired but secure, almost relaxed, after a short but intense encounter with the undead skeletons. None of them had fallen, but some heavy blows had landed and weariness of combat had settled in, they needed to rest now and started to make camp.

It was chilly, very chilly in fact. Hubert, who had taken first watch felt the cold air around him.
He even saw his breath mist, but in this time of the year?

He almost jumped when he felt a slight caress on his back, he quickly turned around and stood face to face with a face frozen in the mist, he tried to yell for his companions but could not make a sound, he looked down as he became aware of the long ice cold dagger through his chest..
