After my father’s burial, there was no time for sorrow. I reached out to Eduardo and shared the recent events.

“Debra and I just reached the misty forest when Gale found us. Exploiting Riley’s desperation to save her child, she manipulated Riley to track us down, then used her witch power to burn Debra alive, just like she did to Debra’s mother.”
“What?” Eduardo was shocked by the news. “Are you telling me Gale burned Elsie and Debra alive?”
“Yes,” I replied, facing the harsh reality. “Gale is the supreme witch. Both Debra and her mother were her successors. Driven by her vendetta, Gale eliminated them to prevent being replaced.”

Eduardo fell silent, overwhelmed by the news.
I continued, “Since neither mother nor daughter could wield fire, Gale chose fire to kill them. My father, too, fell victim to one of Gale’s plots.”
After a heavy silence, Eduardo roared in sorrow and fury, “That monster!”
His voice was laden with emotion, his loathing for Gale at its peak.
I seized the moment and proposed, “The Thorn Edge Pack finds itself encircled by Gale. Our forces are hemmed in, with no way out. Waiting any longer will only spell disaster. Just days ago, Gale clashed heavily with Debra, likely weakened and vulnerable. Would you consider teaming up with me to lay siege to Gale?”
Eduardo didn’t hesitate. “Yes, what’s the plan? I’ll support you in any way I can. Gale murdered my family; she must pay!”

After some thought, I laid out a strategic plan.
I speculated, “Gale has been obsessed with killing Debra. But after we fled from the Thorn Edge Pack, she didn’t pursue us personally. I believe her power was depleted then, as she had previously used it to control my father. It suggests that even the supreme witch needs time to recover after extensive use of her power, or she would be unstoppable.”
Eduardo concurred, “That’s true. I remember Elsie weakened a lot after she saved me. This could be a universal weakness among witches.”
I beamed and said, “Exactly. Gale used a significant amount of her power in the forest, attempting to eliminate me and Debra. Now is our chance to strike at the Xeric Pack!”

The Xeric Pack’s forces had encircled the Thorn Edge Pack, cutting off any chance of external confrontation.
Any attempt to break the siege seemed futile, particularly when a head-on fight spelled certain defeat due to the Xeric Pack’s alliance with the witches.
Hence, I proposed a strategy, addressing Eduardo. “Could you guide our warriors through the misty forest at the break of day to ambush the Xeric Pack?”
Perplexed, Eduardo inquired, “Why choose the path through the forest?”
He aired his skepticism, emphasizing the detour’s inefficiency. “The journey through the forest from the Silver Ridge Pack extends our march. Wouldn’t a more direct approach be expedient?”
Eduardo lacked the experience of the forest’s depths, unaware of the remnants of witches and the power-infused crystals from bygone carnage that lay hidden within-elements that could turn the tide against Xeric Pack.
I offered a careful explanation. “Choosing the regular path could lead to early detection by the Xeric Pack, compromising the element of surprise. The forest, on the other hand, is an area they guard less, and the witches tend to avoid it out of fear. Attacking from there could lower our risks and casualties.”
“I see.” Eduardo nodded in agreement, his concern abating. “What part do I play during the attack?”
“With your forces engaging the Xeric Pack, it’ll be my cue to break Carlos and our comrades free from the siege and launch a direct assault on their stronghold,” I stated confidently.
