Months passed since Henry's brave deed, and the kingdom had returned to a sense of normalcy. However, Henry could not shake off the feeling that something was not right. Every time he walked through the village, he felt like he was being watched, like something sinister was lurking in the shadows.
One night, while walking back from the tavern, Henry heard a strange noise coming from the forest. He turned to look, but he could not see anything. The noise grew louder, and Henry realized that it was the sound of hooves pounding against the ground.
He drew his sword and walked towards the sound, ready for anything. The noise led him to the edge of the forest, where he saw a strange figure standing in the shadows.
The figure was tall and muscular, with the head of a stag and the body of a man. Its eyes glowed red in the darkness, and its breaths came out in ragged, uneven gasps.
Henry could feel the creature's power, and he knew that he was facing a powerful foe. But he refused to back down. He raised his sword and charged at the creature.
The creature met him head-on, its antlers glowing with an eerie red light. Henry dodged the creature's attack and struck it with his sword. The creature let out a pained howl and vanished into the night.
But Henry knew that he had not seen the last of the creature. He knew that the darkness would always be there, lurking just beneath the surface, waiting for its chance to strike again.
From that day forward, Henry continued to keep watch over the kingdom, always on the lookout for any signs of darkness or evil. He knew that he was the only one who could protect the people he loved from the horrors that lurked within the shadows.
And so, Henry became the kingdom's new protector, the one who would always be ready to face whatever darkness came his way. For he knew that as long as he lived, the people of the kingdom would always be safe, protected from the horrors that lurked just beyond their doors
