Aurora snarled as Janette grabbed Kai's arm.
"Leave him alone, witch! You're battle is with me!"
Janette, the sorceress, laughed. "I'll do what I wish, dog. And this is just too tempting! Poor, defenseless little Kai! You should have learned to fight like your big sister!"
"Aurora!" Kai shouted. His arms were bound with magic and he couldn't move.
The snow wolf snarled and lunged forward, aiming her sword at Janette's heart. But the sorceress vanished, taking Kai with her.
Lying in the snow at Aurora's feet was a parchment. She picked it up and looked over it quickly.
We've gone to the Demon Hunter's fortress.
Save him if you can, Aurora. I think I'm going
to enjoy this little game! Oh, and by the way...
Kallman and Forest are about to fall into a little trap
I've prepared just for them. So you'll have to choose!
Save Kallman and the lovely Forest? Or come and
get your baby brother! Tick tock!
Janette
"That's it. I'm sick of her 'games'. I'm going to take her down. But I need help." Aurora turns to face you, her eyes burning. "The others are too far away. If I wait for them, then Janette wins. I need you to save Forest and Kallman. I can't leave Kai on his own. There are clues everywhere, and each one will lead you to the next. Be careful, Janette has traps and spies everywhere.
"And before you ask--no, I don't expect you to do this as some kind of favor for a complete stranger. If you survive, you'll get your pay. If you don't..." The unsaid "we'll all be dead" hangs in the air and Aurora's eyes flash.
"Here," she says, plucking another parchment from the snow. "It's the first clue. I must to leave you now. Good luck." She bounds away, quickly lost in the falling snow.
