Phoenix P.o.v
They rushed back to the forest with the iron. They gave the iron to Briar and she crushed it into dust. Then she made her mixture and fed it too Lycaon. Color returned to his face and he was able to walk again.
"Thank you friends,for my life"He said.
"It was no-" She started. Then a loud noise cut her off. Thousands of trolls led by a undead looking thing.
"Lich" Briar said. She assumed that that was what the undead thing was.
"That's what must have been poisoning the forest.We have to fight him to make it stop,otherwise it will never end "Briar said. All four of them nodded. She shapeshifted into her beast form,a phoenix,can you believe it? Fenir,since he wasn't yet a werewolf,turned into a bear. Lycaon went into wolf form, Sky became an eagle,and Briar became a Bengal tiger. Which she must have learned about from some of the biology books they had shared with her.
They attacked the trolls first,to carve a path too the lich. When they got to him he blasted a black orb at Briar,knocking her back. Lycaon ran over to her,black energy coursed over her body. She looked pale and ill. Lycaon angrily lunged at the lich's throat. But the Lich dodged the attack,leaving him to ram into a tree. She tried attacking him with a thorn vine to strangle him. But as soon as it made contact,it shriveled. Fenir tried to swiped at him while standing on two legs. But the lich only took a little bit of damage. And it only seemed to make him angry. He knocked back Fenir with a large amount of force. She looked at her knocked out friends in horror. Sky summoned a bolt of lightning to electrocute him but he dodged it with some sort of uncanny speed.
Then Briar seemed to regain consciousness. "Retreat,we can't win right now!"
She was reluctant to obey but she did so. They all ran out of the forest. Not into the city though.
"We have lay low until we get strong enough to fight him.For now we have to take shelter in city" Briar said. They all nodded.
"I know a place,there would be enough room for everyone and would be inconspicuous enough that no one would assume anything." Forest said.
"Alright Forest,lead the way" She said.
