Chapter 107
On the outskirts, Eos watched the herd enter with a mixture of boldness and concern. Heracles and Dylan approached their cousin with expressions full of uneasiness.
“Cousin, we have surrounded the herd and found a way in, but it is impossible; All access is blocked.
Faced with the difficulty, Eos began to analyze how they could climb that wall. However, a few muffled cries caught his attention; They came from within the herd. Anguish seized his body, and Galilee, perceiving the despair on his face, laid her right hand on one, the shoulders of Eos.
“Eos! You’re strong. Don’t give up. Your people need you, trust in you,” Galilee said, trying to encourage them not to be weakened.
Heracles and Dylan, aware of the gravity of the situation, called in their men to devise a strategy that would allow them to break down the imposing front door. The shouts of the people resounded more loudly. At that moment, Eos’s eyes took on a golden hue; He raised his hands, and from the earth sprang roots that rose to the wall, forming improvised stairs.
“Come on, move, let’s win this battle for our people, for our empire!” Dylan exclaimed with an energetic gesture, drawing his sword as he climbed the wall. The warriors, infected by his fervor, followed him boldly, skillfully scaling the roots that Eos had brought up.
Descending to the other side, they were met with the defiant gaze of Perseus’ soldiers and renegade wolves, some in human form and some in wolf form. The confrontation was now face-to-face, both sides began the battle.
Dylan and Heracles, guarded by their men, made their way swiftly toward the entrance of the pack. They strove to remove the obstacles blocking the entrance. After hard work, they managed to open the imposing gate.
“Galilee, stay with Dionysia and the she-wolves to tend to our wounded wolves. You’ve got enough of my blood and you know what to do. Eos said, dashing into the pack.
She stormed in; The scene was a harrowing chaos. People convulsed on the floor, children wept inconsolably over their mothers’ bodies, and other mothers hugged their little ones in despair and shed tears of helplessness.
“Goddess Selene, what is this?” Why so much evil to innocent people?This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Witch, it’s your fault that our pack is dying,” shouted a she-wolf with a 4-year-old boy on her arm, pale and her lips already turning purple.
Eos ignored what he said, Quickly, he removed a bobby pin from his hair and pricked his finger hard. Bringing her finger close to the boy’s mouth, the woman pushed her hard, almost knocking her down.
“Don’t lay a finger on my boy!” He’s done us enough harm,” the woman shouted with resentment and sadness.
Eos was bewildered; He didn’t understand why his people behaved like that. She only came to help and rescue them from Sophia’s wickedness. He plucked up his courage and shouted to one of the soldiers passing by.
“Hold the woman.”
The wolf held the woman tightly; She panicked, she thought she was going to die at that moment, but seeing her son like that didn’t matter to her. Eos walked over and took the child from her arms.
“No, please don’t take it away from me. I want to be with him,” cried the desperate woman.
Eos, with the child in his arms, put his finger to her little mouth and let a drop of blood fall. He waited a few seconds; The boy’s face took on color and he opened his eyes, showing him a mischievous smile.
“Hello, champion, how are you feeling?” Eos said with a warm expression on his face.
“Well, you’re very pretty,” she blurted out in a smiling little voice.
The child’s mother felt herself being released; She was amazed, as were other people around her in the midst of the chaos.
“Son, you’re alive,” she ran to the boy and took him in her arms as tears rolled down her cheek with joy. Then he raised his head and continued. Thank you, Luna. The alpha has told us that you are the enemy and you were coming to kill us.
Eos looked around; People were pale and others writhing on the ground. He did something that left those present bewildered: he ran to a well, threw a bucket to the bottom and then pulled it hard, seeing it full of water, he grabbed his sword that was at his side and cut his arm, placed it down so that his blood would fall into the water and dilute. People were in awe watching as the arm wound closed in a matter of seconds; The wounds of wolves heal themselves, but it takes hours for them to heal.
“My Moon, have these containers. I help her give it to people,” said an elderly woman who hadn’t tasted the food.
“A sip of water will be enough to cure them. You must give priority to those fainting on the ground,” Eos said, filling the containers. The lady with the child also joined them to help them. Just then Galilee comes running.
“Dionysia is taking care of the wounded. I’ll help you with this.
“Thank you,” he showed her a gesture of thanks and prepared to help Dylan, who was covering his cousin so she wouldn’t be attacked.
In between the fighting, Fabian, the gamma of Perseus, began to fight Eos. When she saw the man, she knew and had shared many moments with him, she told him without stopping fighting.
“Order your men to surrender. I promise they won’t die; The people who were poisoned, I’ve already saved them.
Fabian lowered his sword.
“Luna, you know that under any circumstances we must obey the alpha, but seeing people fall to the ground is beyond my loyalty. I watched her save that child, cut off her hand for her people; I just realized that the enemies are not you, but others.
“Fabian, gather your soldiers and get the people out of the middle of this chaos.
“As ordered, my Luna,” he turned his back on her and ran away.
Two renegade wolves approached her, showing their jaws with murderous looks; Eos moved his hands and vines like ropes appeared, grabbed the wolves by the hind legs, and were dragged away. Perseus arrived at that moment, drawing his sword.
“Damn witch, your power isn’t going to work with me. What did you do to my men to stop them from fighting alongside me? You’re going to die, I’ll kill you, and I’ll avenge my father’s death.
Eos swallowed; I had missed him. He could feel his heart pumping at high speed. She took several breaths to gather courage and fight the man she loved so much. He raised his sword, and as he was about to fight, he heard a voice.
“Go kill that witch.” I’ll take care of my brother-in-law.
Eda was arriving at that moment with wolves without humanity that were pounced on the mercenaries, tearing them apart on the spot.
