Hope darted her eyes at his gesture and watched a shiny metal on his h.i.p.s, it was a dagger. When some of the centaurs touched their dagger on their h.i.p.s and waited for Chiron's cue. Some of them were ready with the arrow on their right hand, while their left hand touched their bow.
What is it?!
Hope thought in panic. What are the centaurs trying to do here? Weren't they one of the guardians of this village aside from the hunters? Why would they want to attack this village?
"What are you doing?!" Kace, beside Chiron, hissed in anger. Even Lana and the siblings could feel the tense in the air from the centaurs that surrounded them. They were aware about the things that those creatures wanted to do, as fear and trepidation flashed in Lana, and the siblings' eyes.
"She is not the priestess," Chiron repeated what he had said and turned his head towards the lycan. "If you want to see the priestess, you have to help to take down this imposter."
"What?!" Kace's eyes grew wide when he heard that. "What makes you think that I want to get involved in your battle?"
Chiron's eyes followed the priestess every move as she walked up to the podium and positioned herself in the middle of it.
This time, she would pray for the souls of the dead hunters and then they would let the fire live for seven days until nothing was left.
"Because you need the priestess in order to heal your wound and find your witch friend," Chiron unsheathed his dagger and was followed by the rest, at this point there were some of the villagers that were aware about their weird gesture. "And I need your mate's help."
"If you thought that the priestess up there is an impostor, you can talk to those imbecile hunters!" Kace gritted his teeth, "Don't involve my mate on this!"
"I have talked to him." Chiron shook his head. "We will not resolve it this way if we have another way."
"It's your business!�� Kace seethed.
Hope was startled by the hostility that showed from Kace's words, the lycan was really angry when Chiron dragged Hope in his messy situation.
"I will go now." Kace grabbed Hope's wrist and held her close to him as he talked to Lana and the siblings. "We're leaving now."
Lana, Ian and Ethan looked at each other and followed Kace and Hope silently.
At first, Hope thought Chiron would stop them and asked them to stay and helped with whatever plan he had in his head.
However, the chief of the centaur didn't. He didn't even turn around to see where Kace and his small group went, neither tried to stop them at all, despite what he just said that he needed Hope's help in this matter.
"Kace…" Hope wanted to say something, but Kace glared at her and this efficiently shut her up. He knew what Hope wanted to say.
If it was about treating Kace's wound and to find Lidya, then Hope must be foolish to think that Kace would agree with her.
It was hard to move among a lot of people when all the villagers packed in one place and it was harder when those centaurs started to do whatever plan they had in their mind.
Kace thought Chiron had set them up to come here with his hidden agenda and got them involved, especially when they would go into a chaotic situation with Hope being there.He really didn't want to get his mate in danger, for whatever reason there was.
On the other hand, Chiron was waiting for the right moment to strike. He wouldn't resolve this with force if Leroy listened to him.
However, the head of the hunter brushed off his warning and let the impostor live for a year inside their community.
Although the centaurs were respected by the villagers, they would listen to the hunters more than the centaurs. Because the villagers lived in the same place, and met with each other every day with the hunters. And with that, they've built this strong bond to one and another, while the centaur lived apart from them in the wild.
When the priestess almost finished with her silent pray and was about to leave the podium, Chiron hurled the dagger in his hand.
The small metal pierced the mask that the priestess was wearing and made her fall to the ground. It was unsure whether the dagger injured her or not, but a wave of loud shrill scream from the villagers and hunters filled the air as the mournful atmosphere turned into horror.
"Chiron! What are you doing?!" Leroy led the hunter to the podium and shielded the fallen priestess behind their body as they unsheathed their own sword and sickle.
"She is not the priestess!" Chiron's voice was very loud on top of the commotion that happened around them, but his calmness was something that they couldn't comprehend, even in that situation, he was unfazed.
"What do you mean she is not the priestess?!" Leroy roared. He didn't believe Chiron would come to this argument again. He thought their dispute about this had come to end.But seeing what Chiron was about to do now, the hunter realized that the chief of the centaurs still persistently assumed the idea of the priestess was an impostor.
However, why do they have to do this at this moment? They were holding a funeral!
Of course, the answer was because this was the first appearance of the priestess after she fought the demon woman in the mountain of Uzu, and hid herself for one long year with reason to recuperate her strength, inside her well protected place.
"I have warned you more than you could remember!" Chiron shouted back. "Open the mask and you will know!"
Leroy gritted his teeth, everybody knew that they couldn't touch the priestess casually. When the priestess decided to wear a mask, Leroy thought it was because there was something she wanted to hide.
Such as a scar, after all, the priestess was badly injured.
Another shrill scream came from behind the hunter.
