Suddenly, there was a heavy booming moving through the forest above them, startling everyone out of their daily tasks even further than the coconut treant had managed to do.
Wolfe raced up through the tunnels, heading for the surface, ready to protect the entry shack from anything that might be coming their way. There could be monsters, a previously unnoticed military unit in the area, or even a group of bandits moving past when the forest was formed.
They would all be dangerous, but to what extent, Wolfe didn't know, as the Fae Forest had some of its own defensive measures in place to ensure that nobody messed with it.
The booming continued, and it was getting louder as Wolfe reached the hidden door to the Den, but the witch who should have been in the house wasn't saying anything, and he couldn't pick out an emotion from the mass of panic and confusion, assuming it was one of those who were more closely bonded to him.
