**In an underground cave**
"My queen," a small grey man with long pointed ears spoke. "The Straider brothers have been captured by Alpha Arthur. We were not able to save many of the slaves and the dark witches that were there are all dead."
"I see," an elegantly tall woman with dark grey skin said. She was the queen of the dark fae, Nimbulousa. "That is too bad," she said. "Were our people able to get out, Igneous?" She asked.
The small grey man nodded his head, "they were all able to get out without being discovered, but what should we do about the Straider Brothers?"
Queen Nimbulousa tapped her long fingers on the solid black rock throne she was seated on, "take one of the elemental witches and take care of them," she said.
"Yes, your majesty," Igneous said. "Is there anything else we should do?" He asked nervously. This operation was much larger than just the Straider brothers, but if one of them is compromised, that means the others could be.
