Title: be my sword (and shield)

Wordcount: 2,388

Summary:

A shadow erupts from behind a tree. Before Tiergan can even twitch, a dark figure holds a thin dagger to Prentice’s throat. The person is lanky, clothed from head to toe in black, and only a strand of blond hair escapes from the hood that casts their masked face in shadow.
