You're fine until the eyes glow red. [Generated]A golden form flew from the stately mansion.

The fencing sword had been purchased for ten pieces of gold. Lord Jonathan Blackdawn plunged it into a tree stump. His eyes glowed red as power surged through him and he locked the stump and sword into a moment of time.
