The First Pillar took a single, terrifying step forward, materializing directly in front of Xanor. Her red gaze, now burning with pure menace, was fixed on him.
"Try that again, and I will kill you," she hissed, her voice a low, dangerous whisper that sent a cold shiver down his spine.
"Even the king won't say anything about your death."
Xanor's heart hammered in his chest. A cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he quickly nodded, unable to speak. His eyes were locked on hers, the threat as clear and absolute as a blade at his throat.
She held his gaze for a few more agonizing seconds before the burning red faded, and her eyes returned to their usual, icy green.
"Don't follow me," she stated, the command simple and final. With that, she turned and walked away, her silver armor gleaming as she disappeared outside the gate.
"Hehehe… this guy is so foolish," one of the Wendigo guards said, a cruel chuckle in his voice.
