Everyone, please, stay calm!" Queen Lexine's efforts to quiet down the
startled guests were useless. The sound was unmistakably that of shattering
glass, and the tremulous force that rocked the banquet room instantly
struck up a storm of panic, even to the guards standing by the doorways.
Another wave of intense tremor finally forced the terrified guests to
evacuate without anyone's consent. Moving as a whole body, they made a
frantic rush towards the exits, flinging aside the guards and some even
trampling and pushing others out of the way. "Please! Everyone, stay calm
so no one gets hurt!" Lexine rose her voice above the screams, hurrying
down the steps. A third and final wave with five times as much force as the
first two broke through the large, arched windows on the left side of the
room.
Lexine screamed, shielding her face from the soaring pieces of glass, as she fell to the ground along with most of the guests in a painful manner.
"Lexine! Lexine." Someone called repeatedly. She kept looking into the crowd and was fascinated to see a striking white horse charging towards her, and on its back it carried the most stunning man Lexine had ever seen, and throughout all the chaos, she managed a smile. The horse stopped in little clomps briefly before her, as Wolfbane jumped off, then strode aside patiently.
"The walls outside, they wont hold. There's nearly a whole fleet of them!" Lexine cupped her hands around his roughly shaven cheeks, luring him closer, "Them? A fleet of what?" Wolfbane pulled away impatiently, "With Morgana Le Fay's army, the Unseelie Court!" At this, Lexine gasped and she too pulled away from him as he hurriedly continued, "They've attacked some targeted place on the fourth floor-" "Midori!" Lexine burst out in tears, pushing him aside and racing through the wide-open doors. "Midori!" She screamed again while running up the staircase. From behind, Wolfbane was already chasing after her, shouting at her to return. Reaching the last floor, she didn't stop running, but only gained speed when she saw Logan race out of a room holding crying Midori in his arms. He ran rapidly down the hallway, but soon afterwards, as Lexine stumbled with fear, she saw one of Morgana's followers fly out of the same room and crash against the opposite wall, then regain her composure and fling herself at Logan's heels.
"No! Midori!"
"Logan go!" Merle stumbled into Lexine's view, seeing that she had dragged out with her an unconscious, near-death-looking Nicholas. As Lexine stood up sobbing, Wolfbane brushed past her, sending a quick, cold shiver against her shoulder. Wolfbane could see Indira close to Logan, ready to claw at him, and at that moment he burst forward, tackling the monster to the ground. Logan stopped and looked back with fright as he witnessed Wolfbane rolling around in his fur robes and leather leggings, struggling and swinging successful punches at the nearly defeated monster.
