Merri was the curious type, and when she came along for trips like this she often liked to walk around observing her surrounds. However, because of recent events she kept close to the two adults and tried her best to stay alert. This forest was dark and a bit creepy, she felt anxious to collect the ingredient then leave. "Is someone here?" Merri quietly whispered as her gaze followed the direction of the headmasters light. She gasped and jumped back, "What was that?" she shouted and scrambled for the wand in her coat pocket.

Merri finally grabbed a hold of her wand, she pointed the object directly at the shadow and waited for him to make a move. She watched, wondering why he was here until another person appeared, dropping from the trees. "W-who are you?" she asked of the new intruder. Now, there was a whole group of them. Surely the shadow would see sense and flee before things got out of control. Gaining a little confidence she pointed her wand a little more closely to the shadow, "I think it's time you left."

"I do as well.." Leonardo said, waving his wand; "Petrifictus Totalus!" Leonardo casted, flipping his wand quickly and swiftly. He then sensed a spell from behind him, and flipped into the tree, and came down to the other side. "Pretty slick are you?" he said. "Protego Enchantum!" he casted, and it formed a field around him, Merri, Amber, and Garrett.

Corbin quickly flashed a swift stupefy at Leonardo, but missed. He then saw the enchantment appear before him.. "An enchantment spell?" he questioned. "You must have no idea who you're dealing with." he stated. "You see, we aren't the shadows you have seen before. The weak ones.. We are the new generation. And simple enchantment spells cannot work on us..." he said. "Blasto!" he casted, and the spell hit the shield, but did not shatter it, but it flipped back and went directly at Corbin, and he ducked as it hit a tree that fell the opposite direction of where he was standing.

Merri flinched as the spell approached, and covered her face, but nothing seemed to happen. She looked up, surprised for other a moment then sighed in relief, of course the headmasters spell had worked.

"New generation?" she quietly asked then waved her wand, "Fianto Duri!" she quickly cast. A bright white light filtered through the space around the group, strengthening the pre-existing barrier. "Should we attack them headmaster?"
