CHAPTER 20: THE ATTACK I

"You mean they actually know where we are now?!" Keira exclaimed obviously frightened of the circumstances. Love motions hi Shane in a way of calming her, "Don't worry I took care of it."

Relief washes over her as she spoke, "But you still need to tell the immortals, so they can place some measures to prevent something like this from occuring. They have gotten this close, I am sure they can do it again. Besides... If som be wasn't mingling with the human, I doubt this would have happened." She ended the last statement with a teasing smile.

" Eyyy, don't blame this on my head. I'm still trying to deal with the guilt. I will tell them for sure." He pauses before adding, "when I am ready."

Keira just rolls her eyes, " Just tell them soon, I'm still worri d about this."

"Just be calm, don't overthink it." He assured her.

Suddenly, a sharp piercing sound goes off causing Koven and Keira to scream in pain from the sound hurting their ears. Koven widens his eyes, "oh no!" He looks at Keira and it's like they are communicating the same thing in their thoughts. He tells Keira, "Go and tell the immortals that some humans are in the realm, Go! Go! Go!"

Keira transforms into her brown furry werewolves and paces towards Avalon.

Koven runs to the cabins to assigns werewolves to direct the others in the werewolves land to Avalon for safety. Koven runs to the entrance of the portal where the human may have come through and hides behind a tree watching. He becomes shocked and apprehensive of what his eyes beheld. It wasn't like anything he had seen before. Very gigantic in size and it caused the ground to rumble at its every step. It was like a giant robot machine that could slice anything that came in its way. The hand was like a round disc with large sharp pointy things rolling nonstop. In front of this monstrosity, was another robot like figure but it was the size of a human. Koven could swore that there were human beings in control of the machines. It would be stupid for him to approach them alone. So he ran, he ran towards Avalon as fast as he could, at least to let them know what they were on to. As he ran, the machines were moving and destroying trees, clearly in search of the core.

AT AVALON....

"How?! How did they find us? Theux is raging with fear and anger. Keira just bows her head, observing the reactions of the immortals.

" Theux! Theux! Get yourself together, we need to act fast. We need to get the amounts the trolls and dragons made. Keira should go and gather the remaining taskforce gifted. The invisibility potion here with me only lasts for an hour and also, the spell that makes only faeries' minute for some mins, give it to Tania. While you all take care of this, I will transport the young gifted and non-warriors to the deserted location we....."

Koven's dash into the room interrupts him. Koven struggles to speak with his breathe going rapid,"I saw a very gigantic machine that slices things in its way with his arm. The monster is destroying things in search of something. Another robotic figure of about the size of a human was in front of it."

"They are in search of the core, it's probably Felix. Get all the leaders plus the taskforce right away! Both of you." Theux commands pointing to Keira and Koven, who are already on their way out.

Reelora and Cerberus decide to assist Gangola in gathering gifteds.

Reebabo and Theux also decide to stall the monsters. They both look at each other with the thoughts of, "Let's do this." They spread their wings and fly towards the werewolves realm to engage the monster Koven described.

On their arrival, they see about 20 men with weapons ad the back of the robot monster and small robot in front. They watched from very high above on flight, how the small robot demonstrated a faerie power by drawing out the life source of some plants in its way. They saw displays of flames, rock moving powers as well as speed and strength. They watched as half of the werewolves land is in ruins already.

Theux on his fiery wings and Reebabo on his owl-like wings, both look at each other in horror and say simultaneously, "oh no!"
