(Zoe's POV)

"Don't kid around like that, Zoe. I knew you liked joking around, but I never thought you'd take it that far." Envy growls at me.

"I'm not joking, Frank. Besides you and everyone else already know I wouldn't leave the kingdom unless it was important," I tell him with a serious face.

"Are you even sure the Intel was good?" He questioned.

"Oh, it's good alright. It came directly from the imperial emperor." I informed him.

"Alright. So where are they?" Envy looks up.

"I'm not entirely sure, but they've been attacking villages and taking the village people. Another reason I'm here is to get your help because we're headed to one of the villages that could be attacked next. So grab your g-string and lets go." I rush him.

"I'm coming. Don't rush me. Besides did you even send word to the counsel?"

"No need. I saw a bird headed in that direction. I can assume we're not the only ones that know about the Hunt's attacks." I said.

"So we won't be the only ones, thank the gods." Envy sighed with relief.

"I just said that we can only assume." I repeat. "Now are you ready or not?"

"Yeah I'm ready. We can go through here to get to the nearest town." Envy pointed behind him.

"Alright. Now let's go hunt some wraiths." I said with a smirk making an appearance on my face.

(Nico's POV, wraiths ship)

"Captain, we just received word that the Witchers are on to us." A random wraith tells the captain.

"It doesn't matter. They're too late, our plans are already in motion."

What plans? Stop talking in circles. You'd think that spending a year in the wraith world, I would've found out more, but I haven't. Mostly because most of them hardly know anything. I thought to myself.

"How do we know it'll work, sir?" Questioned the same wraith.

"Because if the Witchers can call heroes from other worlds, then so can we. And the one we're summoning is someone who knows them." The captain laughs. I winced. His laugh sounded like blades scraping against a rock.

Who exactly are they bringing back? It's someone we know, but who?There's plenty of enemies back on earth.

"How long do you plan on hiding, Witcher?" The wraith captain said jolting me from my thoughts.

"How long have you known I was here?" I asked thinking of an escape plan.

The captain chuckled maniacally, "We're not as stupid as you think. We've known you've been spying on us all year. We just don't care that you know our plans. Because like I said, you're too late." The captain laughs again. "Now. As much as I would love to see you escape. I think not, kill him," he tells the other wraith who pulled out his sword.

"Hold up there, big guy. Before you kill me, I thought powder kegs weren't supposed to be too close together?" I asked seeing three of them to my left.

"STOP HIM!!" The captain yells, but it was in vain, as I already blew up the kegs with my Igni sign.

Good news I got away. Bad news I was in the blast radius, now I know I how Percy and Beckendorf felt when they blew themselves up. Time to get to the counsel and let them know what's going on. I thought to myself before swimming to land.
