306 Beginning of Battle

"What is happening?" Malachi's brothers gathered, their expressions filled with concern.

"Aaron, take everyone to safety. The rest of you, follow me. We need to stop this," Malachi commanded, his voice loaded with urgency.

Ravina's heart pounded in her chest as confusion and fear clouded her mind. She understood that humans had discovered their hiding place, but the sudden arrival of an armed army left her questioning who these people were. 

Malachi turned to Ravina, his eyes filled with a mix of protectiveness and determination. "Get inside and don't come out," he instructed, his voice laced with concern.

Her gaze fixated on the approaching army, seeing them rise on their horses down the mountains and and hills and into the village. They wore an armor she didn't recognize but it had a specific symbol that felt familiar. Where had she seen it? They shot crossbows into the air at the dragons meaning to attack them and their shields could withstand fire.
