"Are those howls I am hearing?" Irene hoped she would be proved wrong.
"Howllll!" The wolves howled again, getting closer.
"Rogues! I can smell them, getting closer..." Jay pointed out.
"Those damned beings!" Aurora spat out with disgust.
"Mom, we have a situation. There is an ambush. We are being surrounded by rogues!" Aurora informed their mother who was still weeping. That information made her snapped out of the trance.
"You kids should get behind me!" Selene bellowed as she rushed to her feet and started sniffing the surrounding.
"Get behind us!" Aurora said to her siblings and took a fighting stance beside their mother.
"No, you too get behind me. This is not a training. It is real battle! We are now in the territory of the rogues." Selene informed her daughter.
