![]() Hugo pulled the weapon free and tossed it aside. The longsword ended up buried in the top of the golem's shoulder. Hugo batted the spearhead aside and then lunged forward, his extended arms brutally clotheslining the oncoming centaurs. Two of the centaurs galloped to meet Hugo's charge, one holding a spear as if jousting, the other brandishing a longsword. Producing his sling, Newel crouched, grabbed a smooth stone, and sent it hissing into the back of a blond centaur's skull, making him stagger. The bluish centaur threw a javelin at Vanessa, who dropped gracefully to a lower branch to evade the projectile. Three of the centaurs wheeled to face him, brandishing their weapons. Hugo came charging out from among the trees. ![]() "Ambush!" Stormbrow roared, forelegs buckling. All eyes raised to Vanessa, well concealed high in a tree, reloading her blowgun. He held out his mace in the direction the dart had come from. Inspecting his meaty shoulder, he plucked out a small, feathered dart. The light rain pattered down, making leaves wag. A centaur with bluish fur stooped to examine Cloudwing, while the other three turned defensively to survey the area. "Hold," Stormbrow ordered, raising a fist, eyes scanning the surrounding trees. He swayed unsteadily, dropped his bow, and flopped to the ground. Cloudwing slapped his neck as if bitten by an insect. Two of the centaurs began to trot forward. At the first sign of undead aggression, you will die." As our prisoner, you will order the wraiths to depart. "Do you really want to deal with an undead army?" "But you are risking the possibility of more mischief," Seth said, unsure what to do besides bluff. We will not risk the possibility of more mischief." "You loosed evil on territory under our protection. "The locations in question were abandoned," Cloudwing said. "Did I send wraiths against you? Or did you run into wraiths when you tried to steal our property?" "My aggression?" Seth blurted, getting mad. Your aggression nullifies our concession." "We gave you until sundown to depart," Cloudwing said sternly, "not to make preparations for war against us. "You gave us until sundown," Seth protested. Same goes for your mangy entourage." His tone called for immediate compliance. This angers the centaurs, and eventually, Broadhoof challenges Seth to a duel."You have unleashed unnatural fiends on centaur lands," Cloudwing said. After the centaurs decline, Seth embarrasses them, citing that they can't even help a little boy. Later, Kendra and Seth try convincing the centaurs to help them. Cloudwing expresses his disbelief in the preserve's light magic, believing that the shadow plague will eventually take over. Seth asks why they cannot run to it, so Cloudwing explains that Grunhold is very far and darkness is spreading rapidly via the plague. The boy asks if they had assembled at Grunhold, surprising Cloudwing and Broadhoof. Seth notes that he hadn't noticed many centaurs there. The centaurs introduce themselves as Cloudwing and Broadhoof.Ĭloudwing states that a mortal should not be in control of Fablehaven. The two centaurs he approaches is very disapproving of his behavior, but grudgingly introduce themselves after Seth reveals he is Stan's grandson. When all of the creatures of Fablehaven are crowded in the area of the Fairy Queen's Shrine, Seth decides to make friends with the satyrs.
