Arrival Of The Four-Eared Elves (3)

Meanwhile, the Village Chief couldn't help but suddenly frown. Though he was relieved that the individuals before him were indeed the Caravans, the four-eared race, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss with their arrival in such large numbers. 

Something was unsettling about it, and he needed to understand what was happening.

"Don't take any action; just wait here. I'll be back once I'm done," the Village Chief said to Orion before turning to Stronghold Leader Zogar, signalling for him to follow. 

The Village Chief then leapt down from the platform, transforming into his massive green-horned owl form, and swiftly headed toward the boat at the forefront.

Stronghold Leader Zogar leapt high into the sky, following the same direction.

Meanwhile, on the boat below, the sight of the figure transforming into a massive green owl left Leif and the others frozen in their positions.
