“I told you your bond will be to our advantage, but there’s something else.” Mr Patrick said. “Away from this forest, I would have had a chance to stop the Head of Council by myself, but here the forest mutes my strengths. I suspect it’s the same for Oskar Hansson. It’s probably why he hardly ever visits and has brought the Council members to do most of his dirty work.”
“So, can we take him down?” Zeke asked.
“He’s still the strongest person here,” Mr Patrick said. “And there’s still something here that keeps feeding the forest and weakening me. A spell or clarms or something I’ve spent years looking but can’t find it.”
“I can look around, Myles offered.
If anyone could find anything, no matter how big or small, it was Myles.
“Keep in mind that you’re being watched, too, because you’re Zeke’s Gamma,” Roland said.
“Okay, so what do we do about tomorrow?” Zeke asked. “His magic is unlike any I’ve seen before. I don’t know how to fight it.”
“You have seen it. In the forest,” Mr Patrick said. “And you’ve fought it just fine. You need to trust yourself. Oskar Hansson is a man, just like any of us, and he has weaknesses. The Fae can command all four elements to some degree, but we are usually more proficient in our own element. I’m not entirely sure which element Oskar commands, but I suspect it’s the earth. It has to be how he’s created these forests around all the academies and controls the creatures within”
“So how does one get rid of an earth Fairy?” he asked.
“Fae,” Mr Patrick said with a sigh. “Until I know what he is, we have to wait, I could end up making him stronger instead of weaker,”
“So how can you help us?” he growled.

Mr Patrick’s eyebrow arched, and then he lifted his palms. He felt the energy in the room change and the static in the air. The air turned cold, and he felt a jolt through his body as if he was being revitalised. Sludow growled, unsure of what was happening
“I can help you, Mr Michelson. Don’t worry about that.”
