Not Protectors?

'Protectors?' They had the same thought, but Sebastian immediately corrected them. "Nope. It's not like what you all are thinking about."

"Then, what was it?" Kai frowned. "Who met the dolphin?"

"We were not very sure too, but according to our scouts, the one the dolphin waiting for had a big shadow, so we knew its size was big. Before we could proceed even further, the scouts said they got taken out by a series of attacks that launched them without any hints. They couldn't recognize what the attack was." He shook his head.

"Then, the magical beast…Came from the forest itself?"
