Chapter 54 Huh? Worm witch?

MARKO RANDAL POV
"What s wrong, Ildrich?"-Yael. He took a deep breath.
"Good thing that our house had a strong barrier. We are being attack by our neighbors. But one thing is what I noticed. They re being controlled."-he said.
"Don t tell me... it s like what happened to Chenqian and Rita?"-I said. He nodded. Damn!
"Let s go."-I said and my jaw tightens. I used a teleported spell and now I am standing in front of these wolves. I can tell that they re not in there selves. Until I saw someone standing from afar, wearing a yellow cape, clothes and even her mask.
"You—what did you do to them?"
"Kill him…"-she said. They change their form into wolf. I didn t change mine and started to control their blood and use my tornado ability. They roared and entered the tornadoes. I hope they ll get dizzy until the worm will come out or break on its own. I face the witch. I can see that she looks different.
"What do you want in Skyfall?"-I ask.
"Wolves must pay for their sins!"-she said and threw fire arrows on me. I used my sword to shield me and tried to control her blood flow. But nothing happens. She protected herself from my attacks. I ran towards her and our sword spoke on each other. I bend backwards and use thunder to strike her. A fire barrier protected her. She is about to slash off me but I use my sheath and thrust my sword on her.
An electricity flow on my sword and that toast her. So I thought. I sense that this one is an illusion. I use thunder to protect me from her wind attacks this time. A sand suddenly covers that witch and Rita went beside me. I pet her and she smiled.
"That s one of our baby cubs. Are you sure you can fight?"-I ask. She nodded. She easily freed herself from her sand control. She created a gigantic monster? I don t know. It s a giant thing that can smash things out. I gave her my sword and create one using my thunder. We both attack her and slide on the ground and she can easily defended herself. But what she didn t realize, that Rita isn t just controlling a sand. The sand is special. We can hear her thoughts and can easily defended ourselves as well. My eyes shows thunders as I counterattack her vines. I can say that it can be poisonous.
"What do you want in Skyfall?"-I ask again.
"Wolves must pay for their sins!"-she said again.
"Wait, I think is off on her. She is like a puppet?"
"You think so? What is this, a witch being controlled by a worm as well?"-I said. We snaps our finger.
"Worm witch?"-Rita. That sounds weird but kind of.
CYNTHIA MAXIMILLIAN POV
Ildrich is supposed to follow Marko but I speak and stop him. I wanted to know Marko s strength.
"Stop. I wanted to see how Marko will handle this."
"But Cynthia—our neighbors are strong wolves om their kind. What if something happens to him? Rita is there too. She is badly wounded."-Yasmin.
"I knew Marko is strong but we can t just let them do this on their own. I will go home now."-Yael. I stop them and they froze. I created a big mirror and it flashes what is happening in Yael s neighborhood.
"Worm witch?"-Rita said. We can also see two tornados and some werewolves are swirling on that tornado. Rita on the other hand is helping Marko.
"The question is…is she a puppet or a real witch. I meat a doll-like puppet."-Rita. Marko and her look at the woman. They suddenly team up and attack the woman. The gigantic sand monster surrounded her and they a sand hold that woman in her neck. She struggles. Marko s eyes turns yellow.
"I can t sense her blood. She is—a doll."
"Huh?! Then someone is controlling her."-Rita. I spoke at them and freed the others from being a statue. They take a deep breath and cough.
"If she is a puppet, it s useless to hurt her. Just try to burn her off. That will make the owner feel the pain of being burnt."-I said. They both sigh.
"I don t know if this is a good news or not. But I guess we can just do what she said, big brother."
"Well, sorry not sorry. I hate creatures who makes other like a nonsense puppet."-he said. A thunder strikes the doll and it started to be burnt.
"Agh!"-Estella. I look on her. She acted like she is being bitten by an ant. She fake a smile.
"Oh, a mosquito bite. I better go. This is just a nonsense to watch."-she said. She uses a talisman and teleported herself in her house. Elder Allan speaks what he has in mind. Which might be true.
"I can sense that Estella is indeed the soy we ve been looking for."-he said. I look at the mirror again.
"Good job, you two. Come here, I ll cook lunch for today. Bring Rita her, Marko."-I said. He nodded. The mirror disappeared and the two arrived.
"We better stay Allan and Ruben. I wanted to know the cooking skills of the queen."-elder Tony. I smiled.
"I hope I can pass on your taste, elders."-I said.
"We will be the judge for that, your highness."
They gave me time to cook and the tigers help me in picking the vegetables. Later on, Dallas approach me. He suddenly grow up and he is handsome.
"Big sis, what s the name of your cousin again?"
"It s Ezrene and Ezeron. It s weird to see you this big."
"I agree. It feels weird either for me. Can you help me to say sorry? I didn t mean to scare her. She must have thought I am a pervert or barbaric."
"Okay. No problem, Dallas. Can you pass me the pepper please?"-I said. He gave it to me.
"Here. Thanks, big sis. I will help you here."
"That would be a good idea."-I said. In the end, the siblings help me in cooking for lunch.
"Lunch is ready everyone! Gather up and we will all eat! Today s specialty is homecook by chef Cynthia with her apprentices Daisy and Dallas!"-I said. They laugh and sit on the table one by one.
"Thanks you for the food today chef and her apprentices."-Ulysses. The three of us smiled.
"Uhm! Wow, this food is delicious."-elder Allan.
"Yasmin teach me more techniques I can use in cooking dishes, elder. Good thing that someone enhance what I already know."-I said.
"Yes but you are born to have skills in cooking."
"Really? I ll take that as a compliment."-I said.
"This potage is rich in taste. All the taste of the ingredient are on the soup."-elder Tony.
"This sweet and sour is also delicious. I like the combinations. It s been a while since we at a delicious food. The three of use live together and we suck in cooking."-elder Ruben. I smiled.
"Thank you everyone."-I said. I put some meat on the plate of Ulysses and Pricilla. I end up making the food float and serve everyone. They laugh.
"It s still refreshing to see things float and having witches around. It s very convenient."-Pricilla.
"It is. They can finish the work and cleaning this big castle while busy on the other things."-Chenqian. I take a bite and suddenly see the weird difference of Dallas and her sister. He is wiping her mess in her cheeks and chin. They look like a father and daughter. Maybe Daisy should grow up either.
"Maybe Daisy should grow up either. It s weird seeing Dallas this big and her sister is this small. What do you think aunt Miranda?"-I ask.
"I also think of that. Daisy looks like a daughter of her brother."-she said. Aunt Clara retrieve a bottle and while it floats, it pours some liquid in Daisy s juice. Daisy look at her aunt. She signed her to drink it. Daisy is hesitating and ends up drinking it. In a minute later, she starts to grow into a beautiful woman. She looks stunning as a daisy. I created a bouquet of daisy and give it to her. She smiled.
"Your as beautiful as this daisies."-I said.
"Thanks big sis!"-she said. I smiled. We all enjoyed the food and lunch is done. The elders bid their farewell. I promise them that I ll send them food.
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS POV
I called Yael and the five of us is in my office. I need to talk to them on what I have in mind.
"I will be suggesting to Cynthia that we ll visit Dawn and investigate. We will also help villages that is being abuse or poor."-I said. They nodded.
"And you want us to investigate on certain places?"
"Yes. All of the hot spot in every region. Yael you and Yasmin will investigate in Southeast region. Evan, you and your wife will investigate on your vicinity as well. Marko, you and Chenqian will investigate here. Vincent, you and Pricilla will keep an eyes to Estella. I will be talking to Miranda and Clara, they ll be investigating in Magus region. I knew Nathan and Rachel will be willing in investigating their own region."-I said.
"We will take care of Southeast."-Yael.
"Don t worry, we will investigate about the sudden changes in the villages near of the boundaries."
"Thanks Marko."-I said.
"Now that my wife retrieve her power, we will investigate if there are spies or allies of the enemies in my own kingdom."-Evan.
"Don t worry about Estella, your majesty. Pricilla and I will keep her track."-Vincent.
"This might be a surprising cult for us. I feel like the darkness lurking within is much poisonous that we can expect."-I said. Evan spoke off.
"I am worried about that Salvador and Daniel will make decisions more evil than before. I feel like they ll show their fangs now."-he said.
"I will ask Pricilla to visit Jillian. I knew that she has any idea or hunch about the things that her cousin does. All we can do is to prepare and create a protection for us and for the innocents. Especially than amongst us, human s are the most fragile race on the four."-I said. Marko sighs.
"What I am afraid off is the things we missed. Especially on what progresses that the enemies made. They turn their subjects as a walking dead after they failed."-Yael. Vincent speaks.
"Your majesty, don t you think that some of our noblemen or officials in this kingdom is conniving with the council?"-Vincent. I sigh.
"That s why I want you to investigate about that either. Give me details about the wealthy wolves, officials and alpha s that might be a spy or an ally. We have to make sure that we can see the rotten side of Skyfall."-I said. They all agreed.
"I ll do that in my kingdom as well."-Evan. Yael speak.
"What if the enemies had made a progress? What if their experiment is already half way to their target?"
