As soon as Donovan uttered those words the whole council fell into silence, each wondering about the devastating consequences they would have to face if anything went wrong.

Suddenly Astrid stood up from her chair startling everyone, ''I have an idea!''

Donovan gave the white witch a side eye before asking, ''What is it?''

Astrid straightened her back, holding her shoulders up high, ''We witches can help you summon the defenders.''

Avon who was trying his best to not gain any more attention stared at his friend in disbelief, ''Astrid, what do you mean?'' he whispered, tugging at her pants so she could sit back.

Astrid glared at him swatting away his hands, ''What I mean is, if the Elder has already had the vision we can summon them but it may require few sacrifices.''

She murmured the last part but since it was a supernatural community almost everyone in the council heard it.
