The battle hungry Neotides congregated outside the walls of the Wizard Kingdom. Their lust for blood and battle was palpable and they were waiting for Reese to signal the advance.
Meanwhile inside the fortress, Adrianna had asked Mihr to inform inhabitants of the kingdom to stay in their houses and protect themselves with spells.
As the night fell, the inhabitants were wary of the looming war. Fortified by layers of spells that no ordinary creature could get past through, they remained complacent that their stronghold was impenetrable. For ages, these spells kept them untouchable not even to their most powerful nemesis.
But with the outpouring of neotides in the offing, could their spells still offer refuge? So when they heard that there was a breach in the southeast wall, they became anxious. It was the first time that such a challenge had been brought right at their footsteps. Fear started creeping slowly in their minds.
