Yet, it was useless. Soon, they all watched in horror when Emily pressed her hand against Olaf's forehead while life seemed to leave his eyes before he was released from his bonds and fell to the ground.
After falling down, Olaf, still in beast form, staggered back to his feet, yet his eyes were glassy. He simply looked at Emily, waiting for his orders, all defiance and fury gone.
Stunned, furious, and horrified at these events, Nora, Björn, and Anne forgot to continue attacking the barrier as they stared at Emily, petting their comrade's head with a grin. "There's a good boy. Follow your new mistress now." After those words, she went to stand beside Erik with the enslaved Olaf in tow.
