Smynth wasn't one to leave things to chance. When he sent Nightsky, he didn't expect them to succeed easily. He was pleasantly surprised when they quickly discovered the entrance to the hidden passage, but it was still not enough. If he wanted to assure his success, he needed to do it himself. Yes, he's just let Nightsky distract while he nabbed the matriarch. It was the plan with the highest chances of success.

Unnus dashed forward first. He might've been the leader, but he preferred to lead by example rather than words. Unless they were ladies involved, of course. He could talk to them all day. And he got his wish: in front of him was a very prepared lady. Rei had flame on her hand and a wicked smile on her face.
"Sorry, you're not my type!" Unnus said, and dashed beside her at inhuman speed. She launched a ball of fire at him, and he took it front and center. It seemed to do nothing to him at all, and he kept running. As she was preparing a bigger spell, another man appeared. It was Nazik, and as he moved, a gust of wind followed him. He stopped when he saw Rei.

The sword lead Rhea to the room where the hidden passage was. When she was about to enter, she was suddenly grabbed by a shirtless man and dragged at incredible speeds. He took her into the garden, trying to run with her… and then noticed she wasn't his target.
Rhea, realizing her opponent was distracted, quickly used the terrain and sprung vines from the ground, trapping him. It was surprising enough for Unnus, and she managed to break free. Her sword now flew from her hands, prepared to defend her.

Wuwu was heading towards the sound when he heard something strange. A certain rustling, the movement of robes. He focused on the sound, cleared all distractions… And stabbed at it. Suddenly, a robed figure appeared as of thin air and barely dodged the blow.
"Impressive" an indistinct, quiet voice said "Not many can see through my invisibility veil"
Wuwu just frowned, and clutched his sword. He would not let this intruder invade.
