"Okay, if you say so," said Maxim. He patted Emmellyn's shoulder gently to calm her down. Then, he gave quick orders to Lysander to organize his other men and told them about the change of plan.
He also sent the pigeon to Renwyck and explained what happened. Maxim was not afraid of any witch if he had Renwyck with him. The wizard had proven himself capable in many battles and missions.
