Chapter 13: Attack of the Order - Official Wizards! (1)
The formation of their attackers made no sense to Kai.
Of the five pursuers, the two broomsticks in the front were flying quite a bit faster. Both riders were wearing long coats and had a hat over their heads.
Formal wears? Kai guessed, and then it hit him. They are official wizards!
Kai had asked Arlen why the so-called Wizard’s Council would hunt Mr. Beedle.
Wizards or men, Arlen had told him, all fear something they don’t understand.
"STOP!" one wizard shouted. "Turn around and land on the island. Otherwise, don’t blame us for not showing any mercy."
"Red!" Arlen shouted. "Be prepared for a sneak attack."
Kai nodded.
But it wasn’t the sneaky ones they should have worried about, Kai found out soon enough.
The second official wizard didn’t give any warning. He flicked the wand, and Kai felt as if a train was coming at him. The very air rumbled as Arlen twisted the broomstick to dodge.
What was that? Kai thought, his heart dreading that tremor.
