Chapter 936: The same dark aura
Chapter 936: The same dark aura
Rossie watched silently as the Donovans and their mates disappear from her sight, followed by Calleb along with his group and then Ethan along with his group.
And the last to set off were the dragon shifter people. People under both fire and earth dragon lords finally pledged their loyalty to Torak, after such a long dramatic scene and of course, threatening them also helped brandishing the magic.
Their former lord was replaced by a new one, specifically chosen by Jedrek.
For Stephan, it was because his brother suddenly tried to kill him, therefore they needed to act fast and killed Reynold first, as such Stephan became the new lord for earth dragon shifters.
And as for the fire dragon shifters, Lord Bayle had been imprisoned and his position was replaced by his firstborn.
Counting on this kind of loyalty was akin to a walk on egg shells, very fragile. Whether Torak and Jedrek would lift the vow from the dragon shifters which had been restricting them from shifting onto their beast or not, was up to them and they would decide what to do with it later.
However, this was not the end, at the very least, this was only the beginning of something big that would come their way.
Rossie looked beside her and found Bree standing close to her. "Let's go inside," she said, as she took the little girl's hand and walked into the house.
There would be more people coming here and all they needed to do was to accommodate those warriors before they were teleported to Rieka.
"Will we see them again?" Bree asked, she gripped Rossie's hand tighter than usual and walked into the house, their task now was to take care of baby Eddard, until Calleb and the rest came back, which was something that was out of everyone's predictions.
"Of course," Rossie said, sounding determined. "We will see them again, don't worry." Yet, it felt more like she was convincing herself.

Serefina watched the devastated scene through her lime green eyes, which looked dull.
In front of the witch, were a lot of people, running around with sharp objects in their hands and angry faces, shouting profanities and creating damage to anything and everything that they passed.
It was a terrifying scene to watch when it was coupled with the ear piercing cries and wails of children and women. Fear and helplessness wafted in the air thickly and death could be smelt from every corner of this city.
However, above all of it, the dark creatures slowly appeared out of thin air, from the ground, from the shadows and the very dreadful emotions of these uncontrolled people. It was very strange!
Those humans couldn't see it, but for someone like Serefina and the other supernatural creatures, it was crystal clear.
"This is what you call a masterpiece?" Serefina asked with a face that was devoid of any emotion.
"Why? You don't like it?" Lilith, who was standing beside the witch, watched the scene before her golden eyes proudly.
"It is messy," Serefina sneered, throwing a nasty glance at the devil.
"Just like you," Lilith bit back. "You are a messy witch. Can't you see that? You jump from one boat to another… and no one knew what exactly is your motive."
Serefina chuckled, yet one couldn't find any humor in it. "Keep trying to figure it out, maybe you can finally find it in your dead brain."
Lilith turned around, with raging fury palpable on her small face. "You will not come out from this alive if we found that you're trying to betray us."
"Alive?" Serefina scoffed. "I have never felt alive to begin with…" She stopped feeling lively ever since the moon goddess resurrected her.
She even felt like a dying corpse when she tormented herself by watching Jedrek and Lilac together…
Well, this was the path that she had willingly chosen for herself. She shouldn't complain but focus on her plan instead, yet why did she feel like the air that she breathed becoming heavier by the minute when all of this finally came to an end?
==============
"It feels like the hell itself broke loose here," Hope murmured when they ran toward the hill behind the library building, avoiding the aggressive people who were busy ripping one another apart.
Those people looked like they wouldn't think twice as they continued to throw anything and everything in their reach at one another. They didn't even seem to notice the fact that Kace didn't even have a scratch after one man attacked him with a big rock, hitting the latter's head with full force.
However, Kace almost lost control and pounced on that man if it was not for Hope and Purple, who held him back.
'They are not in their right mind,' Purple said in hopes to calm down the enraged lycan and Hope could see it very clearly.
How could they be so aggressive like this? Even to the people that they didn't know? And that dark aura, kept oozing out of their shadows.
Hope wondered; if Raine had the same dark aura like that, would she also become like them? Reckless and uncontrollably aggressive? It was terrifying to even imagine the guardian angel who had control over time lose her self control and attack them, after she stopped the time.
"I am tired," Hope grumbled, she stopped running and bent her knees to catch a breath. She hated the fact that Purple and the phoenix could simply flap their wings once and covered ten of her steps, while Kace didn't even break a sweat and here she was, almost twitching like a dying fish, greedy for water.
"Purple, are you sure, Torak will come to that particular place you mentioned earlier?" Kace asked as he gave Hope a bottle of water. He looked around him and from what he could see, this city would be down to scraps before the next day could come.
"If Alpha Torak indeed came to this place, he will not use normal transportation knowing what happened to the last five planes which flew to this place." The only way possible was to teleport themselves here.
Kace looked at Hope, she wouldn't be able to climb the hill in her current condition, therefore, he crouched down in front of her and patted his shoulder. "Get on."
Hope, who was watching him closely doing all that, grinned happily. "I have been waiting for you to do this, why did you offer it to me only now?" she grumbled, while hopping onto Kace's back before resting her chin on his shoulder.
"You need to exercise more, girl," Kace retorted.
"No, I prefer to be carried like this," Hope said in her most spoiled tone.
