I shouted to Sebastiene to take our parent to safety before Uriel and I immediately ran towards the direction of the explosion and arrived at Athy's office. Her door was burned and lying on the floor. The room was destroyed and there were burnt marks everywhere. The thing that worried me most was the huge hole in the wall. It was big and the edges clearly showed that a strong flame was used to create it. It must be the explosion that we heard earlier.
"Back of the castle, towards the entrance of the forest." Uriel suddenly spoke and flew out through the hole and into the darkening sky. I stared at her and I used a portal to travel there.
When I arrived, Uriel was standing there watching Athy and a huge wolf stare at each other. Athy was holding her scythe, Heyva Sor while the wolf was baring its fangs at her. I approached Uriel to check on the situation.
"What is happening?" I asked keeping my eyes on the wolf who was covered in electricity.
"Is that the wolf you were looking for?" Uriel asked, pointing at the wolf.
"Yes, but why aren't you helping Athy?" I asked her.
"She said not to help her." She shrugged.
I frowned.
"Athy.." I called on my youngest sister.
"Do not interrupt them, my lady." Sebastiene spoke as he softly landed on his feet from above.
"What is happening?" I asked him.
I am worried that Athy might hurt the wolf and get another backlash.
"Submit." I heard Athy spoke coldly.
The wolf growled louder and the electricity running on its body became stronger. I could feel the electric charge in the air and our hair started floating up. Sebastiene immediately created a barrier around us.
"What is she doing?" Uriel asked the same question.
"She is trying to make the wolf submit to her, my lady." Sebastiene explained.
"Why?" Uriel asked again.
Sebastiene vaguely smiled. "To pet it."
I frowned at him.
Marionne and Klent came in their full armor to check with some knights. Seeing as we were there, they approached and bowed to us.
"My lady." They greeted before asking. "Do you want us to support lady Athanasia?"
"No need." I answered still keeping my gaze at the wolf. "Athy is aiming to make that lycan submit to her, it will only happen if she defeats him without any help from others."
Marionne glanced towards the little five year old girl fighting a wolf almost as big as Marionne herself. I saw worry in her usually calm and cold face.
"Don't worry too much at trust in Athy." I spoke without looking at her. "She may look small but her ability is on par with or maybe even exceeds mine. She is not some powerless little girl. She is the youngest daughter of House Castellan."
Marionne took a deep breath before nodding, her face going back to its stoic expression as we watch Athy and the wolf.
"Submit peacefully or I will make you submit forcefully." Athy gave the wolf a choice.
The wolf replied by Lounging itself forward in an attack. Athy narrowed her eyes and swung her weapon sideways to the oncoming wolf. The blunt side of Heyva Sor hit the wolf on the side and it tumbled into the ground. It stood up immediately as if nothing happened before lounging towards Athy again. When going head on did not affect Athy, the wolf started attacking with its electric bolts. Athy only side stepped to dodged the attacks.
"I told you, submit to me." Athy commanded.
The wolf still did not submit and tried to attack Athy again. This time, Athy went serious and summoned Kaido who swatted the wolf under its paw and trapped it there. Athy walked close to the wolf and stared at it.
"Are you going to submit to me now?" She asked coldly.
The wolf snarled at her.
"Kaido." Athy tapped the huge dog and Kaido instantly put more pressure on the foot it was pressing the wolf.
The wolf yelped and tried to fight the pressure.
"Submit." Athy ordered.
"No!" The wolf yelled at her in human language.
"If you will not submit, I will make you Kaido's chew toy!" Athy warned the wolf.
"You have no right to make me surrender." The wolf said in a mocking tone. "You did not defeat me."
"Then, who defeated you?" Athy asked arrogantly.
"This Cerberus did!" The wolf answered mockingly.
"Kaido is my summon, which means that he is here because of my ability." Athy sneered at him. "And you are down on the ground at my mercy. If this doesn't mean I defeated you, then what is it?"
The wolf glared at Athy.
"I don't believe you!" It retorted. "A little girl would be able to summon a being like this? You-"
"Come forth." Athy summoned and dozens and dozens of spirit knights swirled around them. "I could even summon your dead ancestors if I want to."
The wolf stared at the spirit knights that Athy summoned.
"You.." It stared at Athy. "A necromancer?"
