Amelia: "Liam, what's happening?"

Liam: "They're protecting us."

The ground trembled slightly, and the figures stepped back, alarmed.

Marcus: "What is this?"

Xander: "I suggest you leave."

Marcus glared at them before retreating.

Marcus: "This isn't over."

As they disappeared into the forest, the wind subsided.

Amelia: Kneeling beside Liam "Are you okay?"

He nodded, his eyes returning to normal.

Liam: "I think so."

Xander looked around warily.

Xander: "We need to get back home."

Back at the cottage, they gathered in the living room, the gravity of the situation weighing on them.

Amelia: "I didn't expect the Council to interfere."

Xander: "They must have been monitoring us."

Amelia: "What do we do now?"

Xander: "We need to protect Liam. Perhaps it's time to leave this place."

Amelia: "But where would we go?"

There was a knock at the door. They exchanged worried glances before Xander approached cautiously.

Xander: "Who is it?"

Voice: "It's Elias."

Relieved, he opened the door.

Elias: "May I come in?"

Amelia: "Please."

Elias entered, his expression serious.

Elias: "I heard about the encounter."

Xander: "They want to take Liam."

Elias: "I feared this might happen."
