Through the entrances of the two different gateways created for another path for everyone also gave everyone a sense of worry and alert since they know the enemy is coming for them with blades ready to slay them to save all the lives. From the gateway made from a tree by Ralian, as she emerges first she is followed by Gale and Yamma with a few handful of Dani's men, then they made their way towards a forest just about a hundred meters away from the enemy's base. While from another pond Moria first checks to see if there is any enemy nearby, but sees nothing as it's empty. As she emerges from the pond keeping the gate open the others also went through the gate one by one while holding a few bags of equipment, food, and medicine incase they needed to fight or if there were any more prisoners being held by the enchantress's nasty hands, as Moria then closes the gate behind all of them.
"So where should first head" she asked
"We should head towards the entrance where Ezrael described of her minions carrying crates"
"What about the others where they heading?"
"Don't worry the note to Ralian only. She is the one who will lead the others towards another entrance"
"Sure as if we didn't seem to check around the whole area. Besides, how did you know there's another entrance?"
"I didn't, I just estimate how many entrances from the ones you found, and guessed on the other side of the headquarters would have more entrances"
"You can do that?"
"Moria I know Dani for a long time, as from across bandit camps and bandit camps she can deduct to where the main camp is located"
"Still that feels to be an odd estimate, as the enchantress has surveillance drones almost everywhere"
"That is why we are taking precautions Moria, though I can take them out with a swift throw with my dagger, I bet Ralian is doing the same with her arrows."
Meanwhile from the other route taken made by Ralian, her and the others are getting ambushed by mind controlled wyverns as they are dive bombing them each narrowing getting pierce by their sharp beaks.
"Why does this happen every time I'm with you!" Yamma feeling frustrated as she dodges another divebomb by a wyvern and threw a dagger at the wyvern hitting a wing.
"Hey it's not like there is danger looking around every corner"
"Never mind that Gale, lets focus on protecting Captain Vixen's men." Ralian, and Gale are protecting the others from mind controlled wyverns attack them from silent arrow shots and quick slashes trying not to let any of the wyverns to make any sounds. While if they get through Ralian's arrows Gale would use the shield by blocking their attacks or bashing the wyverns away from the group. However they were quick to nearly get overwhelmed by the wyverns, Ralian quickly kneeled down and pulled out some seeds as she begins to speak an incantation as her hands started to glow a bright green. Then vines suddenly started to sprout from the ground as she grabs the vines and turned towards the others.
"Quick use my vines to tie them" she passes the vines to the guards as they all started to use vines that Ralian created tying each wyvern from their wings and their mouths tight till all are unable to move when ever they try to dive bomb at them and being put to the ground by Gale countering their attacks.
It only took a lot of time and a lot of Ralian's vines to fully apprehend the mind control wyverns as they were seen to be struggling to escape from Ralian's strong vines. "Never thought wyverns still exist" Gale wondered.
"no doubt the enchantress is using dragons, but how is she controlling them" Ralian looks at Gale "hey Gale you think you can transformer into one of the wyvern."
"I wish I could, but no shapeshifter has ever turned into a dragon before, that's unheard of" Ralian looks at the wyvern "perhaps you could use these guys as a reference, maybe there's a way for you to transform into a wyvern." Ralian approaches one of the wyverns reaching her hands towards the wyvern. Only for the wyvern to try to snap at her, but she gently places her hand onto the wyvern's head, surprisingly calming down the wyvern from the warm embrace. But she inspects each ones as she notice they all have the same seals as Moria.
"Looks like they may also have the same fate if they failed like Handikiz or Moria"
"Can't you use that seal removing spell?"
"I'll do it". Ralian gentility places her hand onto the wyvern's head as her hand starts to focus all her attention to the wyvern as glow a bright white light as the seal is removed "that should do it" Ralian then cuts off the vines for the wyvern to be awoken. Everyone ready their weapons just in case, but Ralian raised her hand gently warning the others not to interfere as the wyvern looks at Ralian with comfort as it lays onto knees cuddling itself, rubbing it's head onto her neck as it makes a kind growl.
"Check it out Ralian I think it likes you"
Ralian chuckled "yeah I can see that" Ralian looks at the wyvern "hey little wyvern, since I help you, how about you return us the favour" Ralian points towards the stump for the wyvern to stand on "can you allow yourself to become a reference for our friend Gale to a wyvern like you my friend." The wyvern nodded and heads towards the stump standing onto it "alright Gale now's your chance."
Gale takes a deep look at the wyvern observing the wyvern's whole body from it's head, wings, claws, and tail from the entire scaly body "okay I think I can try to do it". Gale takes a deep breath as the whole armour began to quiver Ralian quickly hold onto Gale's armour as she lays them down onto a sit up position as Ralian removes Gale's helmet as they emerge as a wyvern "you feeling alright Gale?" Gale nods as Gale cannot speak in any animal form Gale has transformed to, the only way they could speak if they transform into their normal self as all could Gale can give to Ralian is a nod in response.
Ralian sighs in relief "okay you can fly right, when you showed me when you formed into a falcon". Gale walks out of their armour to spread the wings wide as they started to flap their wings when they were turned into a falcon as Gale seems to be comfortable flying like a falcon though transformed into a wyvern "okay Gale seems to be in the hang of it. You go scout ahead we'll carry your armour" Gale nodded and fly up ahead as they are already adjusting to the sheer speed of a wyvern. While the other wyvern they saved lands on Ralian's shoulder "oh, you want to join us little one" it nodded "alright but if we want to know you better how about I give you a name, how's Scorrow for you" the Wyvern now named Scorrow nodded and cheer happily for the name making Ralain smiled, "alright, then we shall advance forward". The others began to make their move to the other entrance as they look at Gale keeping them check in while they follow them. The two separate groups began to make progress towards the entrance of the enchantress's headquarters they already would need to make themselves aware and ready for what's next to come.
But without them knowing as they continue to path, something is spying at them from an all seeing orb, as from the other side, someone was looking through the orb observing Ralian's team step by step. The one looking through the orb then pulled down her hood showing the face of the Enchantress grinning deviously "it's only about a matter of time before I have you" the Enchantress looked at Hazard who is waiting for her next order to be given to him "Hazard, my last elite, I order you to get them, kill all but one who can use the same power as me, I need her power" "okay mistress, but what about that dragon and the traitor don't you want them gone too?"
Suddenly the Enchantress breaks a glass bottle out of rage, making him stagger in sudden fear. "do you dare to questions my order, everyone has at least done their part willingly and ended in my perfect plan, and your part will soon to come, and that is to face your old team. Understand or I will burn you to a crisp if you don't follow my orders!" she slammed her fist on a table making a subtle sparks of dark flame appeared from below her fist. As Hazard's face started to sweat in fear of dying to her since he too has a seal on the back of his neck. Forcing him to bow before her without question and flashes away in a thunder strike. Letting the Enchantress to look back at her orb to see more of the group and was ready to enjoy the show she's about to witness.
