Chapter 5: There is Fire It did not take long for Ella to reach the fort. The sun was still high up in the sky, yet the picture she expected could not be found. She expected a couple of guards at the gate asking her where her papers were, but this wasn’t the case. Instead, she got a fort that was on fire. The smoke stacks from before became clear. People were shouting inside of the place. At the very least, there were no civilians to be seen. Armored people ran around with bows or swords and aimed towards a creature—one that Elanore saw previously. The wyvern landed on a stone structure. Blood poured from its wings, and there were some tears along its flesh. However, Elanore could see that the wounds were slowly mending themselves. Already, the wyvern had killed several men, yet more seemed eager to meet the same fate. [Inspect] https://i.ibb.co/DDL8yMNn/Naela-Sheet-2.png Whoa, this one actually has a name and a much higher level. Though, why did it decide to attack this fort? “Men! Ready your bows for another attack! This one will not last much longer!” A commanding figure stood with his sword raised towards the sky and shouted to rally his troops. The men under him shouted in acknowledgment and prepared their bows. They drew the strings back, and they readied their bombardment of arrows. On the other side, Naela prepared a breath attack. Flames started at the back of her throat, and she launched a fireball at the same time that arrows launched into the air. Elanore watched all of it happening from the entrance of the fort with a conflicted expression. She was torn between helping the people or saving the wyvern. Really, there was no need for her to do either one. If she let it play out, nature would take its natural course. On the one hand, a wyvern would be victorious, and all of the people would burn to cinders. On the other hand, their enchanted arrows would find their marks and render the wyvern dead. She seemed to be holding on by a thread, and Elanore didn’t want this outcome to play out. She was reminded of an old dog that used to come up to her on long walks through the park. She rarely went outside, yet that dog came to her mind. The few times Elanore went out to walk, that dog would be right there. It would come up to her with its skinny frame, and it would wag its tail. On a certain Summer’s day, the dog had stopped coming altogether. Elanore couldn’t imagine what happened to it, but all of the scenarios in her head were worse than the last ones. Over and over, she imagined that the dog had vanished in the same cruel fate that this wyvern would surely meet. The vampire witch took a deep breath, and magic funneled into her staff. A pink whirlwind of mana tunneled up the shaft. “[Great Barrier]!” A gigantic pink barrier formed between the arrows and the fireball. All of them collided against it and created a loud boom. Both of the concerned parties looked towards the intruder to their battle. They all stared at the vampire witch. Swordsmen and wyvern alike stared at her, and she began panicking. This wasn’t supposed to happen! I need to act fast! She looked to the left where the soldiers were, and she looked to the right where the wyvern stood on a crumbling building. Elanore began running towards the chaos and twirled her staff again. She leapt into the air, and her feet landed on Manapie. “[Fly]!” She managed to find her balance easier than she thought, and she focused her attention on the wyvern. She sped through the air towards the monster. Please don’t die. The vampire witch delivered a punch to the creature’s head, successfully knocking it out in one hit. She cast [Telekinesis], and the knocked-out wyvern floated in her grasp. Elanore ignored the shouts from below and took Naela with her on the way out. Whelp, there goes my first meeting with people. Failed successfully? She whizzed through the air with a floating wyvern behind her, until she found a mountain perch to land on. She gazed along the cliff’s edge,
