"My Lord, the shadows say they’re close." Rosan Aaron reported to Tod in a very low voice.
Grabbing his sword tight, Tod looked around with great caution.
He saw tall firs, assorted kinds of bushes… and there was a unique smell of earth in Tod’s nose. Everything here looked identical to the rest of the black forest, except for a strange-shaped huge stone.
"There’s no river here… and the shadow doesn’t lie… Where are they?" Aaron murmured.
"Watch out!" In the next second, Tod fiercely pushed Aaron away, knocking him down, and at the same time he lifted up his left hand and produced a square-shaped iron shield with his Blessing.
When Aaron was slammed to the ground, Natasha had already jumped down from a big tall fir and attacked with her Thunder with all her strength.
Tod’s shield cracked instantly, and he could not believe his eyes.
