The next few days things have been a little too scrutinized. With the awareness of the involvement of the witches, everyone was either alert or scared or both. When it came to witches they had a way of getting away with the things because of their magic. Even without wolfsbane they had the potential to possess enough strength which decapitate a wolf just by their magic.
From the marks on that man that day, they deduced that it must be someone who used black magic. While their magic was usually unstable, they were known for their strength. There was no way they would survive a face off with a witch that strong, even if they outnumbered the witches.
Whoever sent the man, whoever was behind all of this was someone too strong. If that someone was doing all this from the shadows that could indicate only one thing. They were determined to keep their identity secret. Could it be a part of something bigger, or the witch was merely scared to show their face.
