Leroy and an army of his men, all riding horses, were moving swiftly towards the Forest. Dusk was upon them, and they lit torches.
»My wife ordered to burn the Forest to the ground. Nothing must survive!« shouted the king, fury sparkling in his eyes. He cudn't understand Thana's suicide. He blamed Khalida for it.
Before attacking, he made sure the women and the children were all safe in the newly rebuilt town. It's been two days since the sisters died and everyone was cursing the Forest, thinking it was the reason for their losing of both, the princess and the queen. They only had king Leroy now, and they were going to follow him wherever he led them.
The sight was legendary. Almost a thousand horses stopped by the border of the Forest, waiting for the command.
At that moment, a bright white light burst from among the dark trees. It lit up the entire sky. Then it slowly floated to the ground and started taking a human form. It landed before Leroy. The light that appeared was the spirit of Khalida. Even though she was much shorter than Leroy or his horse, she gave away the energy of unimaginable greatness and power. From the trees slowly came the other five spirits, among them also Ellie, who was supposed to retire with Khalida's death. And after the spirits came all the living Guerrillas team... and Ellisar. They all stopped behind Khalida and waited for the next. The princess had brought her own army with her to protect the Forest.
