They're Coming

Layla was extremely occupied, but she was quick to explain the situation.

"That is the last of the life forces I can employ," Layla explained whilst pointing to the leaves that crumbled upon falling to the floor. "Without a force in sight, I can't just summon—"

"M-my blood," Ophelia urged in a low and quiet voice. 

"The Alpha will kill me—"

"N-not if I can h-help it," Ophelia demanded whilst taking Layla's wand and pointing it to her wrist.

"Human… girl!" The goblins roared, dashing forward with their wooden clubs infused with metal. There were at least ten tiny ones, led by an enormous ogre.
