Just when Faunia and Pedro are about to move, a strong wave of magical energy swept past through them; seemingly originating from the Naga Kingdom. It was strong enough to make Mathew, Talia, and Sabrina slid a few inches backward.
"What was that?" Pedro asked with a frown on his face.
"An energy wave!" Faunia said. Seeing that Pedro was still confused, Faunia sighed and explained, "It's just a shockwave caused by a sudden release of magical energy, human."
Several seconds after the energy wave went through them, the suppressive aura had 'suddenly' dissipated. This gave Mathew, Talia, and Sabrina a breathing space to process everything that happened.
Around them, the trees rustle as the wind swept past through them. However, the fresh and fragrant breeze starts to have a hint of a metallic smell. And as each second pass, the stench becomes stronger making it evident that a 'pool' of blood was nearby.
