“The reports we have been receiving all say the same thing,” Corrine sighed. “The fae creatures engaged in battle are acting strangely.”
“Strangely how?” Axel asked.
“Over the past few days, scouts say the creatures stopped fighting in the middle of a battle. Others ran away,” Corrine explained.
“Do we know where they went?” Axel asked.
“There was no clear direction, though the reports we are getting today are a little more concerning. They can’t find them.”
“What do you mean?”
“The fae seem to have gone to ground. But, unfortunately, we can’t track their movements. The hybrids and ferals are still on the loose, but the others are gone,” Corrine sighed.
“What about the force that Penelope mentioned? What about Burning Ember? Have we been able to get eyes on it?”
Corrine shook her head sadly.
“We haven’t been able to reach any of our scouts that far south in days.”
Axel sighed and hung his head.
