Chapter 569: Chapter 569

Lucia's Point of View

Pendragon Estate

There was a knock on the front door a few minutes after Arthur's energy had disappeared. Aydalia and I had been in the kitchen as we exchanged a glance with the other. Stepping back into the entryway, Rock hadn't moved from his spot overlooking Marina's creek that ran throughout the estate. He turned to look at us as he guarded the red water. Aydalia had Arthur's hand in her possession wrapped in a cloth to keep it hidden.

"Who is it?" I called out.

"It's Typhon!" My eye twitched at that.

Aydalia quickly whispered to me, "He rarely knocks. He's not alone. I sent him home before all this happened, but I bet one of the Priestesses questioned him."

I nodded. "Are you alone?" I asked through the door.

"He is not." Elincia's voice cut in. "May we come in?" Opening the door, both of them looked at me, but Elincia's eyes immediately hardened. "What happened?"

"Everything is fine." I quickly answered as I blocked their path inside the home.

The Priestess didn't believe a single word as she glanced behind me. "I can smell the blood, Lucia." Rock started to move, and I quickly stopped him with a shake of my head. "Where is Arthur?"

Typhon looked concerned as well as he waited for my answer. "He's not here." Aydalia answered, and both looked to her. "There were some complications with Marina's investigation."

"What should we do, General?" One of my warriors asked me.

The water had flooded back into the kingdom, causing massive damage to several buildings, and children were still being located. They had been swept away by the currents, and possibly were injured. Many people were injured when the water came crashing in. Now, shockwaves continued to vibrate through the kingdom as the clash in the temple seemed to continue on.

"Have you finished setting up a perimeter around the Temple?" I inquired.

He placed a hand on his chest. "It has been done. "

Both of us braced from a far distance as we saw another shockwave rippling through the water. Moving behind me, he held firm as we were pushed back several feet from the sudden current. Bringing my arms up, it eventually subsided, but quickly we were quickly overtaken by another.

"Move the perimeter back even further. Send our men in to look for any stragglers too close to the Temple. Hopefully, they'll still be alive."

"At once."

He darted off, and my eyes tried to find the Temple in the distance as many were watching from outside the Kingdom. Myself included.

"Goddess..." I whispered softly.

Arthur's Point of View

Crawlana

A glare could be seen from underneath my claw that covered the woman's face. Ice now coated her entire body as it appeared to make some manner of armor to surround and adorn her. Again, she was being held in the air by my claw as her wings flapped. Ice poured from her hands as they were wrapped around my arm. The ice shot up my arm and slammed into the side of my head, freezing my neck partially. Slowly, I cranked my head to the side causing the ice to shatter.

My blood slowly flowed from the ice as it burned through my skin, but I held firm. "This is growing tedious."
