Awakened by Death

After a few seconds, I was able to look up. A man in darkened silver armor was holding the girl against him. Her once naked body was covered in a gray cloak, while her face was inward as if unable to bear the sight of me. The knight pointed an ornate sword with a mask carved on the hilt at me as he spoke, "Keep the book. You will find it useless to you against our kind." Each word filled hate and malice. With that done, a 'pop' and they were gone. A final thought filled my head. Every Mage I find from that point forward will not escape me with their lives.
