The lizard glided down from Nutdrouk's hoodie and landed on the ice-covered river, but when the dwarf was talking to Raine about using her power to control the time, the blue lizard strated breathing fire onto the surface of the river, causing the icy surface beneath Hope to melt.
Hope was surprised and tried to move away from the lizard out of instinct, yet it was too late and the icy layer under her feet started thinning and it wouldn't be able to hold her weight longer. Sure enough, soon an eerie crackling sound could be heard along with the rumbling of thunder from the sky.
Hope's heart skipped a beat when she saw how the ice cracked beneath her and she could feel the water burst from the gaps, wetting her cloak as the coldness bit her skin.
All of this happened so fast and no one saw this coming. Not even Lidya.
Three seconds was all it needed for Hope to fell into the river and to be trapped under the ice-covered surface, because the thin layer of the ice was cracked by the fire breathed by the blue lizard.
"No!" Raine started screaming frantically and rushed forward to help Hope, but the dwarf stopped her immediately. With magic he pushed Raine away until she fell onto her back.
"Use your power to stop the time or she will die," Nutdrouk said. His voice was very loud and demanding. He glanced at Hope, who was trying to swim against the current to reach the spot where she fell.
However, it was hard to do since she used several layers of warm clothes and the current was quite strong down there. She tried to break the ice with her bare hands, yet she herself knew it was a futile attempt to break the ice by doing so.
Hope watched through the murky layer of ice, she expected someone might do something to help her, but all she could see was Nutdrouk, standing without moving a single muscle, staring back at her.
"Lidya! Do something!" Raine stood up and yelled at the witch.
However, when she raised her head and turned around to see where the witch was standing a moment ago, she couldn't see anyone. The witch disappeared.
"Lidya?!" Raine was in panic. She was the only one on the ground now. "Lidya!?"
And when Raine looked at the place where Nutdrouk supposed to be standing, the dwarf was not there as well!
"What is this!?" Raine was upset beyond words. She was alone at this river bank, all she could see was the vast river, which stretched out for as long as her eyes could see and the clearing behind her with some vegetation and a few trees, while the dark gloomy clouds were hanging low above her head.
Raine gritted her teeth and balled her fists.
Was the dwarf trying to make a fool out of them?! Where was he now?!
Raine had never felt this angry before as she felt now knowing that the dwarf used this method on them. She was very familiar with this, since Serefina always used the same trick on her.
The witch would push her limits until she didn't have any other choice, except to fight back. Making her situation very miserable to bring out the power from within her.
It was also the same just like when Serefina forced her to speak or when she would push her to face her nightmares.
It was indeed effective, but Raine despised it a lot.
And now the dwarf tried to use the same method!?
Raine clicked her tongue and looked around her once again, only then did she realize that she was a few meters away from where she was standing earlier as she could see the pile of empty barrels, where she met Dorian when she came here the last time, on her right side.
Therefore, she had to run toward that direction…
If she was here and Lidya was not with Hope, then what would happen to her?
==============
Jedrek stood tall above the hill with Lilac beside him. When the five spell casters finally appeared beneath the sloppy ground, they looked up to him with eyes full of malice.
"My king," one of the oldest spell casters, stepped forward and greeted Jedrek, but the smirk at the corner of his lips and the way he stared at Jedrek, showed nothing but resentment.
"I wish your words are true," Jedrek said in a low voice, but it was audible enough for them to hear.
"May I know what occasion that brought you here? And made us, your humble servants to be graced with your presence?" he spoke with such sweet words, but everyone could see that he wasn't feeling grateful upon seeing Jedrek.
"Drop your pretense, Swan," Jedrek said calmly. The wind fluttered his cloak and despite his calm demeanor, they knew that a storm was raging within him.
The older wizard named Swan chortled and took another step forward, he craned his neck to look at Jedrek.
"What do you want Jedrek?" he asked, brazenly addressing the king with his first name. And, this disrespectful action was immediately rewarded with loud growls from the lycans behind Jedrek and Lilac. "No need to be hostile, I used to visit you when your father was still responsible for the throne. We were family until you decided to kill all the members of Gregory family and Maximus. I have warned you back then and I will warn you again now," Swan said without wavering under the hard gazes of the Lycanthropes. "If you don't get out of my sight right now, I will…"
"You will what?" Lilac cut his long monologue, she was standing beside Jedrek, thus her small body was oblivious compared to the king of the lycanthropes beside her, yet it didn't make her presence any scarce, there was something about her that made her look no less dominant than Jedrek.
"So, you are the guardian angel?" Swan raised his eyebrows and smiled viciously at Lilac. "It is a pleasure to meet you, my queen."
"I don't think you are feeling any pleasure to meet me from the way you greeted us with this barrier," Lilac snapped.
"Yes, but you returned the favor by destroying our city," Swan replied.
