Defenseless

When the world is falling apart, what would you do?

Pack Mavez always had a plan in place. Proper defenses. Soldier formations. What to do in the event of an attack. What to do when the walls came tumbling down. But everything had timing in place. And right now, that was what everyone lacked. Monsters seldom charged all at once into the village, that was just unheard of. A handful invading? That was common, but not many got past the walls with alarming speed like tonight.

"Ophelia, get behind me, now!" Killorn roared, yanking her behind him as he unsheathed his enormous sword. 

Ophelia stood at the edge of chaos, frozen in time. Her heart pounded like a war drum in her chest. Screams and panicked cries filled the air as people rushed into the shelter. The air crackled with an energy that sent her trembling. Her spine grew rigid. Everywhere, there was movement.
