THE DESTINED MATES

Chapter 5

Attack

A middle aged man with white hair was sitting on a chair. He was holding a walking stick with its head shaped like a dragon. There was tension in the eyes of the men gathered.

"Protector, you have to leave here for Lothar. It's not safe here". One of the men who looked middle aged said.

The white haired man shook his head. "I can't leave, that old hag must be planning something serious this time around". He refused.

"Isn't that more reason you should leave", another one of the men cried out. There was silence, everyone was silent. Before a round of argument. There was a young girl about 22 years old looking at them calmly.

After a while she stood up to say something.

"Listen!"Her voice was loud. The voices that have been talking lessened. She looked at all of them in the eyes before continuing. "We have received intelligence that the dark moons are going to attack us. Even though it is unconfirmed news, we still can't take it for granted. So I say that the protector has to go back to Lothar. That's the best decision now". She announced.

Everyone present kept silent. The lady is quite reputable among the Lothar's. And above all she is the protector's daughter.

"Protector, you have to leave. There's no choice. We can't risk it".

The protector dropped his head in resignation. Even though he so much wants to stay in Osaka and stop the witch Evelyn. But the Lotharians indeed made a point. Besides, opening the gate of Amaris wouldn't be an easy feat even for the great witch Evelyn. He still has time after all and should really look at the bigger picture.

*******************************************

Inside the dilapidated old house in the forest. Evelyn was seated on a chair. A huge serpent wrapped around her. She was wearing black. Many men and women in black robes stood around her. They all seem to be waiting for her order.

"It has been decided, we will strike tonight", the witch said, in an icy cold voice. "The protector is no doubt a major problem, he will always counter all our Magic and spells. If the divine lord is to succeed in his plans. Then we must get rid of the protector". The witch paused looking at the men and women's faces that looked expressionless.

"I have been given complete executive power in the dark moon by the Divine Lord. And I really hope that none of you will dare disobey me hehe!". She gave a sinister Chuckle. No one dared to talk. They have heard of her bad reputation.

Beside her stood a skeleton-like creature. The skeleton was holding a long staff. It hit the staff on the floor once the witch stopped talking.

There was a "thud!" Sound.

Dorathor who was by the side sneered. This woman seems to have turned my showy. If his Guess was right. Evelyn will use this opportunity to establish her authority by awning everybody there. "What a wily foxed woman", he muttered on his breath.

The old witch seems to have noticed something. She turned to Dorathor and flashed her a wicked smile. Dorathor gulped and didn't even dare look at her....

In the deepest part of Osaka forest, a house stood in the middle of a clearing with faint light flickering from the windows.

A grey haired man was standing inside a room quietly thinking to himself. He was holding his dragon shaped stick as he silently pulled his white beard.

His ear strengthened slightly. He could hear sounds of shouting. It seemed like someone was screaming. The door of his room burst open as his daughter ran in.

"Father, you have to leave now. The dark moon has strike", her voice was urgent. Her very calm demeanour was no more as she hurried to her father.

The protector was surprised, "so soon", he muttered to himself. Seems like Evelyn has really marked me as a huge threat". There was no sense of urgency in his eyes.

"Dad, there is no time". His daughter shouted. Some men ran in. The man in the lead prostrated on the ground. "Protector, you have to leave at once".

The protector nodded and followed them.

Outside the clearing. A group of black robed men rushed towards the clearing. The knights of Lothar rushed out to face them. One of the dark moons. A vampire by the name Raguez pounced on one of the knights. The knight blocked him with the knight qi. The vampire was pushed out. Another vampire clawed the knight. The knight blocked with his sword. But a claw from behind gripped his head. Behind him, a claw gripped his head, there was a "!" Sound as his head ruptured. Everywhere, there was the scene of a knight of Lothar or a vampire or other supernatural beings falling.

A group of dark moon supernatural forcefully made their way through the storm. This group is small but they looked more powerful than the former group.

Making their way through the knights they dashed towards the knights. Slaughtering them as they charged towards the house in the middle of the clearings.

The protector was running through the forest. Three huge dark wolves chased after them. Aviator, one of the Lotharians, charged forward to engage them. The leader of the dark wolves snickered. "Oh my oh my, is it not the famous Aviator of the Lotharians. Today I have a chance to fight one of the Lotharian best fighters",

The wolf made a pounce on the Aviator. Aviator blocked with the knight qi. He hit the wolf in the head sending him back. Pulling out his sword, he made a dash for the other wolves slashing them. But at that moment, a wizard walked towards him. He was holding a wand and making some incarnations.

The Aviator didn't give the wizard a chance and threw his sword towards him. The sword flied and was sure to hit the wizard. Even the wizard expression was filled with fear. Yet at that moment something surprising happened. The sword was hanged mild air as an old woman with evil expression appeared in view.
