“Something is waiting.” Before Aella could respond, the silence shattered. A group of Red Fang warriors emerged from the fog, clad in dark, jagged armor, their weapons crackling with corrupt energy. They spread out with fluid precision, surrounding the ravine. At their center, a figure stepped forward different from the rest, cloaked in midnight and radiating a familiar malevolence. The traitor.

“Like yourself.” That helped. A little. I stepped forward. The army waited. Hundreds of warriors. Maybe more. Dragons, Aetherfangs, Vaelcryns, Primas. Creatures and people I had only begun to understand. Soldiers who had no reason to care about Vandwood or Edenwood or the werewolf side except that their king had ordered them to move and his daughter stood before them asking them to bleed in a war that was not yet theirs.

Yet, he met such an arrogant one. His lips twitched as a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Fane laughed as he was already used to seeing those looks. He continued, "You warriors from second-grade worlds sure love to leave marks on your clothes to show off how special you are. Golden Continent's warriors leave a dark gold pattern, while warriors from the Sacred Water Continent always leave blue clouds. That's how you recognized that I'm from a third-grade world.

"It is dragon fire! It has to be the fay!" I growled and called for Cedric through my link, and I wanted him and my closest warriors and dad by my side as I addressed those cowards! Within minutes, we were all here, dressed in our rugged leathers—plated shoulders and chest, mid-thigh, and down between the eyes. I was covering the nose bridge. It was heavy fighting armor, incredibly uncomfortable to move in, and warm. But it was a direct attack. Our homes, families, and everything we loved and held close was here. As the gates were pushed open, my warriors stepped backward. Their job was to keep our homes safe. Everything and everyone on the inside of this fence was their responsibility the

Despite the chaos, I maintained a vigilant focus on Draxler, determined to unravel the truth behind his enigmatic claims. Another warrior lunged toward me, and I swiftly parried the attack. As the battle raged on, I couldn't shake the weight of Draxler's words. The absurdity of him claiming Fernanda's supposed power lingered in my thoughts, a puzzle to be unraveled in the midst of conflict. With a calculated strike, I incapacitated another warrior, my mind racing with the implications of Draxler's grandiose proclamations. The battlefield had become more than a physical clash; it was a battleground of ideologies, a struggle for the freedom to choose one's path.

I Continue, and he smiles “Yes, I do. Welcome all.” He says and smiles “The Warriors are Jacob, Jason, Andre, Christopher, Thomas, Michael, Jack, Oliver, Owen, and Eli,” I say and I feel the surprise from my warrior. They didn’t expect me to know their names. “I have cleared a wing on the second floor to the right. It is completely free, and your warriors have my permission to keep everyone away from there.” Carter tells us. “Thank you, Alpha,” I say and smile.

The memories of that day, the last moment of happiness I had felt as my brother had given me a hug and taken the stage, his handsome face glowing with happiness. “MysticWarriors, my pack, was a very small one and ancient,” I answered. “We didn’t believe in fighting for power, we believed in peace and kept to ourselves. It has been like that for years. We were all powerful warriors by blood but having power and strength doesn’t mean needing to exercise it. That day we were taken by surprise and were heavily outnumbered. But we fought, to the end, till each one of us fell apart but…” “But…”

The remaining rogue dragons, caught off guard by the sudden reinforcement, faced a formidable force they hadn't expected. The fight was a flurry of claws, wings, and fire. The warriors, trained in combat and fueled by the desire to protect their leader, engaged the rogues with precision and unity. Flames clashed in midair, casting an eerie glow amidst the forest's canopy. With each clash, the warriors gained ground, their coordinated efforts overpowering the scattered rogues. Astrid, though still recovering, watched with awe as the battle raged on. The warriors strategically cornered the rogues, leaving them with no room for escape.

The memory of Rhea, her selfless act of courage, served as a potent symbol of hope and resilience, inspiring the warriors to continue fighting for a future where unity and cooperation would prevail. Lyra spent countless hours strategizing, analyzing the patterns of the Crimson Fang’s attacks, and anticipating their next move. But now, a new element infused her planning: an acute awareness of the emotional landscape of the warriors. She initiated regular sessions of shared storytelling, encouraging the warriors to recount their experiences, their fears, and their hopes. The shared narratives became a powerful tool for bonding, forging stronger connections and fostering mutual empathy.

I nod, clinging to his arm as we move out with the lead warriors. The trees blur past as we approach the border—and then I see them. Rogues. At least a dozen, just as the vision predicted. Snarling, feral, tearing through the clearing like beasts from a nightmare. The fight explodes instantly, shattering the peace. Zeke lunges forward with a deafening growl, his claws flashing, his enforcers, our loyal wolves, rushing immediately behind him. Erica’s there too, her movements sharp, calculated, and terrifyingly effective.
