"What's happening?" Noelle asked as she saw the trees around her move and close in on them, "Why are the trees coming closer to us?" She asked, pointing at the thick foliage growing closer and closer.
"That's not me," Kashish said as she checked the roots that she had spread around in the area and noticed a foreign mana seeping into them; trying to wrestle her for control over the seeds.
"It's the damned tree," The regional lord hissed as he looked up at his pack and noticed half of the pack dead, "He found out about it. We need to hurry," the man said as he urged Aella to take out the scroll.
In the meanwhile, the trees and and the vines in the whole forest started to wrap around them, trying to bind them and capture them.
"We will fight and buy you time. Activate the scroll and ask for help. Don't worry about us, we will handle it all," Kashish said as she used her powers to control her vines and temporarily halt the oncoming assault.
