Nyx was awakened by Shimermoon during midnight.
"Nyx? Nyx, wake up!"
"What is it, Mother Moon?" She was half-awake when she sat up.
"We need your juju! They captured three men!"
"What? Where?" Nyx opened her eyes wide.
"Here!" the voices of the female fairy soldiers answered at the same time.
Nyx peered at the faces of the men. They were Giles, Wilmot, and Gregor. They were unconscious.
"Maleficus and Kallikrates are nowhere to be found," Shimermoon informed her. "Old Drudener is missing, too!"
"They slipped away!" Nyx had guessed. She stood up from the bed. "Let's do this here," she said while pressing the center of the talisman.
"Only the six soldiers will go," Shimermoon told the leader of the platoon. "Bring the three captives straight to King Zephyr!"
"Yes, Commander Moon!"
