Chapter 55

The priestess sat watching the Faun named Gus, starting to fill those around him with distrust and malice toward Fauna. The priestess warned them about this and that they should follow the girl to have a future that they could live in peace without war. The Faun was jealous, wanting Fauna for himself, he wasn't like the other Fauns and how he treats females.

The priestess was on the main top of the mountain that the cave presides in, the lightning started striking down on her and she done beautiful moves like she was dancing with each strike. Her clothes had charred Marks, while most of it was burnt away, she was still standing after receiving all 46 strikes.

Robed figures ran to her then helped her over to a small tunnel and into a cavern that she has decorated like a home. They feed her a pill then lay her down on the bed next to the cavern wall.

Fauna and the group was heading to the tunnels, Fauna nervously stared at Lillian tightening up her grip on the womans hand. They arrive at the tunnel, Lillian turns to Fauna and kisses her forehead.

" wait here I'll speak to them and we can lead them to the boat" Lillian said while walking over to the tunnel, Faunas eyes remained on Lillians back until she disappeared into the tunnel.

Traes neck snaps back behind them as they seen a large group of their people walking toward them, they were all carrying weapon that they collected over the years. Faunas eyes landed on Gus who was carrying two one handed axes, which belonged to a Elf who washed ashore over 30,000 years ago and she thought he left to return to the golden grove, where his village was located.

Confusion and anger are written on the druids face, she tilts her head staring at the faun, he has a grimace look on his face.

" I told you to get rid of the demon !" Gus screamed at her standing 30 ft away from them, the gnomes beside Gus looked confused and a sense of dread hit some of them. They started backing away from him, his facial features changed to a twisted look while he stared at the druid. Fauna eyes slowly rake across all of them, she reached some of the tree folk and stares at Saul.

" Saul you've led the others of your kind here to meet their end, you blindly follow Gus and it looks like you all have killed the ones who are not of the human race, while all of us are from different races. They were to have a choice of staying or leaving, there was ones who could and have been trusted that did not send people here." Fauna said looking over her people who stand against her, then back at Gus.

" I told those two earlier that if you dare try to come for her, I'd kill you and I wouldn't let you graft with any trees. I would hate to kill the ones who I think as family and I'll give you one chance to turn back" Fauna said while patiently tapping her foot on the ground, she watched twenty of them baked away from the group and layed their weapons down. Fauna saw Anna's little brother, standing there holding a short sword and fear written on his face.

" Dren your sister would be devastated by this and she is a dear friend of mine and Silvia, gus is using you, he has blinded you with the love you have for him." Fauna said as two vines wrap around the two fauns pulling them away from the group.
