Chapter 408: Dame Amelia’s choice.
Teleportation was such a convenient gift from the bank. It only took a moment for Sigrid and the team she assembled to go from Eldoria to Medoris in a heartbeat. As always, when they were hunting, they moved in the night and traveled in shadows. Dame Amelia’s territory Suncrest was one of the most guarded in Southern Medoris. It was protected by woods, high walls and trained knights, many of whom were female.
The strategy of making entrance into Suncrest was the same as the one the group applied when they attacked Lord Benwick. They put the knights on the walls to sleep and as they forged inside, those that did not sleep were slaughtered.
With one lighting strike, Christie broke the gates open and they made entrance casually. The wind welcomed them inside as if it had always been waiting.
Resistance inside Suncrest was not as great as one would have expected. This was because the spies Sigrid had planted in Suncrest had poisoned the wine and most of the food. Many of the knights were already on their backs, groaning and wailing in pain. Others were vomiting and some were dead.
Cosmos put a barrier around Suncrest, nobody would be going in or out anymore.
Sigrid pointed her wand at the sky and a magical hologram appeared. Inside it was Emmah’s face, exactly as she currently appeared.
"To the residents of Suncrest, we are here for a wanted murderer, Emmah Fairfax or Fox something as she calls herself. Hand her over and we will be on our way. Nobody needs to get hurt but if you put up a resistance, you will be hurt." She announced, using magic to project her voice far.
Inside the Suncrest manor which was four stories high, Dame Amelia Winslow stood atop the ledge of an open window, the wind tugged at the locks of her unruly hair like a restless hand. Below, her, knights rushed out of the manor and all of its surroundings. With their swords in hand, they assembled and waiting for her to give a command.
They parted and made way for a tiger that walked out of the manor and stood at the front, roaring its mightiness.
"Calm down little kitty." Sigrid said to it.
