Fenris stopped furiously galloping toward the leviathan. Even Lufian pulled on the lush black mane and made the unicorn turn toward the palace. There was nothing to hear or see, but Fenris could smell someone's fragrance wrapping the entire city like a plague. He glared.
"Nota…" Lufian laughed, his skeleton joints clicking non-stop. His bone hands patted Fenris's thick horse neck as if breaking the unicorn out of his trance.
"Indeed. How loathsome." Fenris didn't move anymore. He watched Jevit run off like a spooked rabbit. All the other leviathans retreated with their leader. The Black Smoke Corps also didn't pursue them into the black waters. Without the kelpies, they wouldn't get that far, anyway.
In a few seconds, the whole island returned to its inherent peace.
