" We've arrived."
" How can you tell? The ship hasn't stopped yet."
" There's some magical energy coming from nearby," the freckled girl explained." More specifically, someone's summoning a magical bubble around the area, preventing anyone else within the area from using magic. We just passed through that bubble."
" Which means?"
" Which means that either it's an odd coincidence that there just happens to be a magic user stopping me from using magic in the area, or-"
" Or they're prepared for our arrival," Garroth continued for her." And that we probably will have an extremely low chance of breaking out after we arrive."
" Right."
The boat lurched to a stop.
" We're here."

" Alex!"
" Wha-? Emmalyn!? You're here!?"
The two hugged.
" Are you okay? Is Zane here as well? Dante told Garroth and I what happend-"
" I told them about Phoenix Drop!" The librarian suddenly yelled.
"... What?"
" The Werewolves, after I got away from Zane they captured me, and asked these problems about Aphmau, and I let it slip about Phoenix Drop, and now you're captured as well, and-"
" Hey, hey," Alex interrupted her friend." It'll be okay."
" You've got a plan?"
" Well... No, but we only just got here, I'm sure we'll have a plan very soon, we just need more information on our situation."
" Right, right, of course..."
The door opened, as the redheaded werewolf entered the room.
" Lost, Alex, King Fenrir requests your presenses."
" Lost?"
Emmalyn sighed." My name, apparently."
" Have you tried explaining that it wasn't your name?"
" Many times."
_________________________________________________________
" Lost, Alex, other two, take a seat."
All four did so.
" Blaze told me that you claimed Aphmau was not in Phoenix Drop," King Fenrir said." Where is she if not in your Village?"
He directed the question at Alex, apparently assuming she was their leader.
" We aren't sure, Lady Aphmau left us a while ago on a quest to find the Divine Warriors relics," she replied honestly." We haven't heard of her position since."
" And where are these 'divine warriors relics'?"
" As I said, she is searching for them, we don't know where they are. Why are you searching for her?"
The werewolf king turned to his second in command." Blaze, show them the picture."
Blaze nodded, reaching into his pocket before pulling out a piece of paper and showing it to those gathered around the table.
Alex, Garroth, and Dante all squinted at the porley done drawing before exchanging confused looks. It looked like a short, angry, sharptoothed Shadow Knight. Emmalyn had the expression as if she'd seen it before.
" If you don't mind my asking, what are we looking at?"
" This is your 'Lady Aphmau' when she attacked our tribe."
Again, Alex exchanged confused looks with the two guards.
" Lady Aphmau's not a Shadow Knight," Garroth stated.
" Then how can you explain what we saw?"
" Laurence, one of our old friends, was there, and he is a Shadow Knight, that may be who you're thinking of."
" So he's the one with sharp teeth?"
" No," Dante answered." Neither of them have sharp teeth."
" Then how did they defeat us!?"
The King raised a hand to signal Blaze to be silent." It matters not, however, unless they can give us any more information, take the prisoners back to them to their rooms."
_________________________________________________________
" Is everything in Phoenix Drop alright?" Emmalyn asked later that night, sometime after the sun had set." I haven't seen it for so long."
" The truth is, I don't know, it was doing fine for a while, but now with the Werewolves there... I can't be sure."
" And Alina and Lilith? Are they safe?"
" They're with Hyria in the forest, they should be safe there."
Unbeknownst to both of them, a werewolf happened to overhear the conversation, and relayed the information about the two children to the king.
