Chapter 29

"My Lady.."

"Don't come here, I told you, they will attack you. " Yanos and everyone that stayed behind could stop as they came closer and noticed a pool of blood in front of Alana and the white wolf.

"My Lady are you okay?" Asked Eustace trembling.

"That's not my blood, why are you here at main house?" She asked

"We actually thought here was a safest place to be." Yanos, was assessing the situation, there were a lot of Hobgoblins, one looked strong, it seemed to be the leader, they were dressed in a fur that looked to be from dead white wolf's, he could notice the white Wolf Rage emanating.

Even though they did they same the methods they used were different, Hobgoblins cruelty was beyond necessity.

The white wolf next to Alana was protecting its pup, were tree pups right behind its front paws, Alana asked of the trainees to take the pups inside, for protection as soon he was about to approach the wolf growled in fury, Alana petted his side telling him it was okay, it let them take it away while the little ones were whining.

Alana kept assuring It that it was okay, like petting its side.

The Hobgoblins didn't Attack they seemed to be in transe, they kept standing in front of Alana and the new joined in group.

'What could they be waiting for?' Questioned one of the trainees that was already anxious in such presence.

"My Lady, should we attack?" Asked one of the trainees.

Before Alana could answer, Tobyah from the back interjected and stepped forward close to Alana. " No! Don't attack yet my Lady. They haven't move since they arrived right?" Alana nodded in agreement. "They don't seem in control of the situation, even when we arrived they didn't turn their heads. It's like they are being controlled somehow by something/ someone else?"

Everyone were now even more anxious.

"Is that even possible? To control such powerful creature."

"I have read about it.." Tobyah got hit in arm by Yanos shaking its head looking pale.

Alana caught a glimpse of it but didn't react, at that moment she remembered that she had found a book in the library, that once she showed to Mr. Theodor had the same expression as Yanos. She thought to herself that she needed to look for that book later, in case they survived this ordeal.

"Even if they are under control, they are still here to attack us, and doesn't change the fact that we are heavily outnumbered and overpowered. " Alana said out loud but deep inside she was trying to wake up Tera, that had been dorment for a while.

The long winter seemed to keep Tera in a dorment state, Tera could from time to time wake up, but she use up lot of her energy to keep herself and Alana warm.

It seemed this place was chosen just to keep her in a weak state.

Although Alana could still use Tera's power, would be better if she didn't have spectators.

"My lady look.." said Eustace pointing. " they are starting to move."

"Yes I guess that's finally time. Everyone they are stronger than any of us combined so we might not be able to face them head on, but we can't retreat either, evade them for longer as possible."

'Tera I am going to need you know I won't be able to protect them without you.'
