Morel, the Faery Knight Commander, stood before the cage where Elaine, their Tribe Leader, was imprisoned, her hands bound tightly together. She lifted her head to meet his gaze, her eyes burning with defiance.
"Morel!" she shouted. "I order you to release me right now! You've overstepped your authority—let me handle this!"
Her voice was firm, her eyes sharp, a far cry from the usual gentle expression she wore. "Release me now, or I will not hold back my fury!"
Morel calmly opened the barred door and stepped inside, causing Elaine to take a step back.
"My Lady… we are still in a dire situation," he began. "I assure you, this is a matter of utmost urgency. The humans have escaped, and I'm certain they will return to massacre us. That is how grave the situation is. The tribe is in serious danger."
Elaine's eyes narrowed. "I will make the decision. Let me bear the responsibility for this tribe!"
