The Paladin - A Guardians of the Herald Short Story
by Mark Malcolm
The leader of the knights Templar and his aide stand condemned and the hordes of Hell plan to inflict agony as they steal the men's souls on passing. The Paladin meets the remaining Templars and their angels in the spiritual realm known as the ether for one last battle whose outcome is far from assured. The plan: ease the men’s torment by the onslaught of the demons or die trying.
