Chapter 9 - the mysterious nymph

After waking up, Drumon heard the sound of arrows being shot, and then the shrill cries of dark nymphs. He quickly got up, grabbed his sword and shield, and seeing the boys bravely fighting the nymphs, decided to join them.

-Finally you woke up!- Lei said excitedly, casting a power inhibition spell on one of the nymphs, preventing her from using her magic. The nymph stopped levitating and began running towards Lei, wielding a small, dark knife with a wooden handle, wrapped in dark moss.

- You! Give me back my powers now!- she shouted furiously, lunging at him. He quickly dodged, causing her to fall onto a thorny plant.

- It's inhibition, I didn't steal your powers,- Lei explained.

-Aah!- cried the nymph, emerging covered in thorns and returning to the water from which she had come.

Keny was having trouble hitting his arrows because the nymph he was facing was extremely fast in the air.

- You won't catch me, sharpshooter!- she said and laughed, disappearing into thin air and quickly reappearing elsewhere, as if she were teleporting.

-Look, it's me! Come and hit me!- And then she quickly appeared behind him, and he smelled moss passing close by. Then he thought she wasn't teleporting, just invisible. He took out one of his special arrows and shot it above him. The arrow exploded, revealing green ink around it, and it stained the nymph behind him.

-Oh no!

she exclaimed, surprised by the boy's intelligence.

- Now I see you. He said then, and immediately managed to hit the target with precision, an arrow.

She wasn't teleporting, she was just invisible. Keny struck the nymph's arm with the arrow, and she immediately ran into the water.

-This won't stand, I'll have my revenge!

she shouted, and entered the water, leaving a trail of dark blood. Mike dodged the powers of the queen of the black nymphs, while Drumon, with his sword, tried to strike her. Lei approached and tried the inhibition spell, but the queen was too strong; the only thing he could do was weaken her with the light of his staff, so he had an idea. He would illuminate his staff so that Mike and Drumon could end the reign of the queen of the black nymphs.

- Lei, watch out!- Keny shouted, seeing another nymph emerging from the water, this one walking towards Lei, who had his back to the lake.

That nymph was different; she had chains on her feet, her leaves weren't dark, they were yellow, there was no moss on her body, and her skin was like porcelain, though it was dirty with black earth, her hair was long and green, and her eyes were the same color as her leaves.

She approached Lei and pleaded.

-Please release me, brave warrior, I can help defeat her.

- Why should I trust you? Lei shouted, illuminating the white stone of his staff towards the queen.

Keny quickly grabbed the nymph behind Lei and placed a knife to her neck, threatening to cut her at any moment, awaiting only a command from Drumon.

- Release her! We'll kill her later if anything happens.

Drumon shouted, striking the queen in the back with his sword, and Mike struck her in the chest, but the queen regenerated; Lei's magic was ineffective against her.
