Watcher jumped up onto the mule and pulled the wizard’s cloak tight around his body, allowing it to drape across the animal’s back.
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Planter gave him a worried glance.
“Don’t worry; I know what I’m doing.”
“You really expect me to believe that?”
Watcher shrugged, then turned to Winger. “As soon as I draw the monsters away, fly to the Wizard’s Tower and tell Mapper to head to the Citadel of the Horse Lords with as many NPCs as he can find. We need horses, lots of horses, and if he can’t get there and get back in time, then we’re—”
“Don’t worry, little brother. I’ll take care of it.” Winger pulled out her Elytra wings and strapped them to her back, then pulled out a rocket and held it in her hand. “As soon as the withers fly away, I’ll head out.”
Watcher nodded. “Good … I’m counting on you.”
“What about the rest of us?” Fencer asked.
“All of you need to get back to the Wizard’s Tower and make sure the defenses are ready. If the monsters get inside, then we’re done for.” Watcher turned and peered down at Planter. “I’ll try to get back as quickly as I can.”
“You mean if you can.” Planter’s voice was filled with venom and worry.
With a nod, Watcher turned back to the rest of the NPCs. “I’m not gonna be afraid of Krael and his mob anymore. The Far Lands is a peaceful world, and the wither king and his army need to go. I think it’s time they were evicted.”
The NPCs cheered, some of them banging their weapons against their armor.
Suddenly, a group of metal wolves moved to surround the pack mule, each with a mechite rider on their backs, Fixit at the front.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Watcher glanced at Mirthrandos.
“They’re gonna cause a little commotion to help you get out of the cave.” The ancient wizard nodded her head. “They know what’s at stake, and they’re gonna help. My wolves can be quiet when they want to, but they can also be pretty loud, too.” She laughed. “Don’t worry about them, you just worry about you.” Mira moved closer and put a hand on the boy’s back. “You make sure you get back to the Tower safely; there are a lot of people worried about you.”
Watcher looked down at the wizard, an expression of determination on his face. “Don’t worry, you haven’t seen the last of me.”
“Good,” Blaster said, “because I’d miss being part of your crazy plans. They always seem to involve mass numbers of monsters trying to eat our faces, and I always love that.”
He gave Watcher an infectious smile, which made Watcher giggle, the laughter quickly spread throughout the cave as the group’s fear and dread morphed into determination.
Once the laughter stopped, Watcher stood up in his stirrups and stared down at the NPCs, mechites, wolves and golems. “This isn’t over,” he said. “The only thing Krael accomplished here was to make me mad, and it’s a mistake to make a wizard mad.
