Before the leader of the team could even respond, something unbelievable happened.


    The time had slowed down for them inside their aircrafts but what they couldn''t even imagine was that the space and time had both warped for them. Their two-seconds travel in space was equal to five years on earth. Time dtion had urred. In those two seconds the world changed rapidly for them.??


    All the pilots were ncing around them trying to take in things that urred so fast. It was like a movie that was fast-forwarded. The world beneath them changed its shape rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the modification of the world cascaded rapidly like lightning.


    It was at this time Haldir and Enya got sucked in a vortex only to appear closer to the jets. They had to take advantage of this situation.


    Enya took her wand out. She held it high towards the moon and softly under her breath said, "Collienté." The thin, brightest, shimmering beam of moonlight entered her wand. The wand got encased in white spiraling light that curled around her hand and meandered around her body like a silver scarf dancing in the wind.


    For a moment, Haldir''s breath was caught at the sight that was rarely ever witnessed by anyone in the world. Enya looked like a Goddess on her path against the cruelty of the world. Her pale white skin glowed. Her eyes were focused on the wand.


    Suddenly she directed her wand to the nes. In a split second thin silvery light strands surrounded all the nes from the outside. The lights sparked and zapped over the outer core of the aircrafts. It resulted in something disastrous.


    <em>Their navigation system was tampered.</em>


    The nes turned in a different direction. The leader rubbed the ss on his eyes in disbelief when he saw the mountain peaks on his disy panel in front of him instead of the empty space. His eyebrows furrowed as he tried to understand what had happened. When he realized the aberration, it was toote. He had to make a decision at that moment.


    So seeing untoward things taking ce, the leader shouted, "Drop the bombs now!"


    Upon themand, his group opened the fire and unloaded the arsenal.


    However, rtive to them, the bombs disappeared the moment they were dropped because the time had moved too slow for them and had moved too fast on space below them.


    Their minds became numb to experience such a disy of power. The best fighters pilots of the country, who had years of training were simply pawns of the wizards in this game of power.


    They were like ythings for the wizards.


    They were nothing in front of the elf.


    Their connection to the main base cut off. They kept shouting in their headphones, but everything was dead.


    Haldir and Enya chased the aircrafts freezing them one by one as they neared the mountains. They could see the bombs dropping out but now they were not worried because the aircrafts had flown way past the wizard realm. Secondster, the explosives sted amongst the high mountains and valleys of the west.


    The aircrafts were frozen just before they crashed in the mountains.


    It was the leader''s jet that crashed first. On the impact it was smashed to smithereens. It looked as if a child had thrown his ss toy on the floor in anger. The rest of them crashed in a simr manner, fragmenting into a million pieces. Even the bodies of the pilots were frozen and then shattered.


    In that moonlit night, Haldir and Enya watched the fireworks from a distance as the explosions urred from within the deep valleys of the snow-d mountains. Balls of fiery red, green and yellow mes rose igniting the surrounding white ice. Geysers of hot ash and moltenva erupted outwards.


    The sessive explosions shook the ground and the snow erupted into avnches.


    While Haldir and Enya were watching the game of fire, Adrianna came. She flew her broom right next to Enya who was still covered with the rays of moon. The entire event finished in less than half an hour.


    "What are we going to do with so much ice that Enya has created?" asked Haldir. He had sensed his queen''s presence.


    "It needs to be melted," Enya replied. If the ice wasn''t melted, it could turn this wizard realm into one that resembled hers.


    "This kind of ice would flood our kingdom," said Haldir with a shock on his face.


    "It won''t," replied Adrianna. Saying that she pointed her broom to the south. She had decided a point for the sheet to be demolished.


    Haldir followed her. No, he followed her baby. It was a silent submission to the unborn child. Yes, he would rip the world apart if it had to be for the child.


    Enya on the other hand went to the north of the ice sheet. Adrianna and Haldir pushed theyer of ice. It was heavy even for their collective power. It moved slowly. It was at this point of time they realized how long it must have taken for Enya to create her icy kingdom and how imprable it was.


    When the ice sheet was dragged to face the mountains near the forest, it was made to m into the rocky surfaces. The ice burst and splintered into small andrge boulders. The boulders tumbled across the slopes right into the mountains that had surrounded the source of the creek, which flowed through the forest. The boulders smashed and flowed with the water current to the two waterfalls that were feeding the creek. They dropped fragmenting into smaller pieces inside it and cascaded with the water until they reached theke.


    Some of the remains of the frozen jets and parts of the bodies of pilots joined this naked dance of destruction.


    ---


    The King of Serpents was in a frenzy. He sent arge number of his army to search for Alex''s pack and also tob the forest area. The team that had gone to search Alex''s territory returned empty handed. The members had already shifted to an unknown location.


    When themander of the team reported it, the King fumed with anger.


    ---


    The General barked on the microphone, "Where are you? State your coordinates!" There was no answer. The General shouted again, but themunication went dead in a second. He looked at Ziu who was standing right next to him.


    Ziu snatched the microphone and growled in it, "What are your coordinates? Answer me!" There was no response.


    Without a warning the ground below them trembled slightly.
