Everything Happened So Fast

Eldar waved his hand. William, Elura, and Doravoli were unable to make any defensive moves. The light slap on Elura's forehead suddenly made Elura's head glow like a light bulb.

Then the light from Elura's head infected William and Doravoli like a living virus. William said nothing because he felt no danger, but his body was too stiff to move even if he wanted to.

With time, a thin, almost invisible line began to form between the trio.

Eldar smiled and looked at them.

"Well, here's the thing in a nutshell." He pointed at Elura first.

"You are my little team of heroes. You are the golden-crowned, angel-hearted heroes who will raise the ancient tree elves from the ashes, like some ridiculous prophecy. By the way, don't worry about what I call a hero, I don't want you to be like a real hero. After all, I am holding you by force in a way." The Eldar smiled.
