The news of the attack on Inaymi had reached the Castle at daybreak, unleashing a busy day in its wake.
Eli was busy, flooded with reports from different villages and speaking to the General on the next dispatch.
Many villages had been attacked recently.
The news put him on edge.
This White Aura attacker was the only suspect he had in mind, Kestra had aided his belief in that suspicion too, and it was scary to know that the Witch moved so powerfully... and quickly.
How could he not have known about the attackers until now, after a lot of damage had already been done?
From the reports, this wasn't the first time something like this was happening.
The Village Heads must have thought it was something they could deal with until they realized their attacker was going around fast, causing massive damage, and finally decided that the matter was something the King had to be involved with.
