Soren appeared from the ground, others trees, one landed from the sky.
As they did, Soren looked at them shocked.
No wonder no Triplex Rot Hounds are here to protect it. It does not need protection.
Cynthia switched from attacking to a more defensive stance.
These people that had appeared before Soren and Cynthia were all cadets—at least they used to be.
