Arlo's POV
Meliana fumed as she headed outside the castle with Vilarja at her heels. I made my way to her and stood by her side. From her state, I knew something huge was going on.
"We are going to be attacked, get ready. Take your positions and kill whatever comes this way," she yelled at vampires and creatures. Some obeyed her without mind control while others she was using as puppets.
Archers had been posted on the castle's keep while guards surrounded it from all around. Everyone became alert hearing her commands. Arrows began to fly as a few of the guards ran in the opposite direction to fetch more vampires, whom she could use as her puppets.
Flying creatures circled the castle, including Shubas and some other carnivore creatures with blue-black wings and yellow eyes. They shrieked as a commotion could be heard in the distance. A spell hit one of the Shubas and it fell a few feet away from where we stood.
