Chapter 337 Meeting A Regional Lord Of The Forest

"So you mean that there is a strong being in the forest that can control plants and also has controlled all the beings in the forest including you," Aella asked as she couldn't believe her own words. Much less the story she had been told by the Regional Lord who sat in front of them.

"How is this even possible?" Asked Kashish as she couldn't think of a being strong enough to take control over such a large forest and all of its beings. Not just that but in the little amount of time that had passed, it was just absurd.

"Well it is the truth, believe me or not and we were given clear orders to bring you guys to the core of the forest so it could do same with you," The lord answered as he looked into their eyes, clearly telling them that the position they were in, they had to believe in him or else they would be doomed.

"Okay, for a moment let's say we believe you but how did you escape from that being's control?" Noelle asked as the others nodded at her question. After all, if the said being was so strong, how come the lord in front of them be free?

"Well, i was also controlled but as you see; my race is different," The man replied.

"How so?" Asked Noelle.

"We Warmacks come from a race of wolves and are related to the legendary wargs and that's why we live in packs," The man replied as he continued, "We have a bloodline ability that allows us to share everything we feel with the pack and that includes injuries, powers, intellect and much more. Therefore, whenever a Warmack is with its pack, its just as many times dangerous as any warg with its pack,"

"So you mean that you shared yourself with your pack and got saved? I don't believe that. Give me a solid explanation or we are done and we will go," Kashish said as she made sure that the man understood that they weren't believing anything until they got some solid information from him.

"Sighh… hear me out," The man rubbed his temples and then spoke, "See, I am in the Celestial Realm and even though i recently ascended. To control the mind and body of a Celestial, it requires a lot of time and effort. Even for that monstrous being. Therefore, he planted certain seeds in the minds of all lords to tell them that he could influence and control their actions and know if they resist," The man replied as a realization hit Aella as she spoke right after,

"So you passed that seed onto another Wormack and let it be controlled instead of you and hence, you are free from that control but that thing thinks you are in control since you do what it says anyway but you keep your freedom with yourself,"

"Yes, that's how it is," The man smiled as he sighed in relief that they had finally understood what he meant.

"But why do you need our help?" Kashish asked.

Seeing the woman's unrelenting attitude, the man knew that it was going to be hard but he didn't stop and calmly explained, "See, I know that you guys were here with a Celestial and i have also previously dealt with the Lord of that house outside of the forest," The man said as he pointed in the direction of Ray's mansion.

"You know Ray?" Aella asked in a bit of excitement.

"No! As far as i remember, the name of that person is Prometheus and he is a strong Celestial who I'm sure can deal with the being in the forest and seeing how you guys came from the same direction, i was wondering if you could pass my message to him and ask for his help to help us lords of the forest and in return, the forest will be open to you all and you will have our support," The man answered.

"Prometheus?" The man with the axe questioned as he thought to have heard that name somewhere but didn't know where he had heard that name.

"Idiot," Kashish slapped the guy's neck as she shook her head and took the whole group to the side for a small chat.

"Who is this Prometheus guy?" The man with the axe asked.

"It's the dammed dean," Noelle answered as then suddenly realization dawned upon her as she asked, "If what that man said is correct, then are we living in the dean's house?" She asked as a hint of reverence shone in her eyes. After all, the dean was a legendary figure in the eyes of the students of the academy as they all personally knew about his power and position.

"No, it was the deans house," Aella replied seriously as he mood had calmed down considerably after knowing that the man was not talking about her beloved but the dean.

"What do you mean it was? Did the dean sell his own house?" Noelle asked as she found it very hard to digest that the dean would sell such a perfect residence.

"Well, he did sell his own mansion," Kashish said as she kept on thinking of a way out of the situation and about what to do next.

"Who bought it? I'm sure its some big shot who did because that big and powerful of a residence wouldn't have been easy to acquire and I'm sure the deans wouldn't have sold it to just anyone," Said Noelle as she seemed to be more interested in the dean's property than their troublesome situation.

Her attitude had been getting on Kashish's nerves and she just glared at Noelle and spoke, "Ray bought it and shut up. I don't know anything else and instead i would advise you take our current situation in consideration and act accordingly,"

"Okay," Noelle answered, a bit shaken by both the reply and the tone of her voice.

"I have an idea," Aella said as she looked at them and added, "Just follow my lead, no time to explain,"

Aella took the lead as everyone walked back to the regional lord and stood in front of him. Aella took a deep breathe and spoke, "We can help you but we can't leave the forest. You see, if we try to leave the forest, the trees block our way and if we cross the trees by some way, the paths seems to diverge and we unknowingly head to the direction of the core of the forest, if not, we would have gone back and brought help,"

"I see, so it can control most of the forest by now and since you all a re so deep into it, its control is even stronger than before," Said the man as he looked around himself and thought of a wya to bring these kids out of the forest so they could bring back help.

"I have an idea," Kashish said, "We can use that scroll but it can bring away only one person and I'm sure if we use it, that being would sense it because if it is as you told us then it can surely perceive the magical and spatial fluctuations that would occur from the usage of the scroll since its a teleportational scroll,"

"Well, use it. One of you can go ask for help while the rest of you should stay here," The man said as suddenly, he felt a strong headache. His head started to ring as the connection he shared with the rest of the Wormacs started to go wild. He felt the Wormac with the seed convulsing on the ground as a message had come from the Tree.

"Shit, he contacted us," the man said as he used the connection to get the message and right after, he cut the connection to not let the rest of the pack or himself be infected by the seed and then looked at them with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"It was him. He gave me an order saying that a group of four would arrive and i am to bring them to him,"

"You mean us?" Noelle asked as the regional lord nodded.

"So what do we do?" Asked the guy with the axe.

"We hurry. One of you goes back to bring help while i would bring the rest of you to him and cause a big distraction and halt him for as long as possible," The man said as it was the only possible solution they had.

"But who will go?" They asked.

"Aella, you go and ask Ray to help us. I'm sure he will be able to figure something out. Also, i am certain he could contact the dean too," Kashish said.

"But what about you?" Asked Aella.

"If anything happens to you, Ray would lose his mind. I know him Aella, you should be the one to go," Kashish said.

"Okay," Aella nodded as she took out the scroll from her bag and was ready to tear it up when the ground shook suddenly.
