There was nothing Nalyne could do. The threat of the Xig'Dramoth would move into Darkness Abounds unchecked. All he could do was ensure that the castle would remain protected. He would do what he could for the village, but the inhabitants knew what they were getting into by living here.
He sealed up the throne room, unsure of what to do with the creature Goh had turned into his throne. He thought it best to seal it up in there until it could be dealt with.
For now, he would see to Ilea.
He picked her up from the floor and watched as a stone alter was formed, holding her as a couple of the Rattles walked up with lush furs and laid them in place. Once that was done, he gently laid Ilea there then watched as her golem bodysuit transformed itself into a crimson sheet to cover her and protect her at the same time.
After that was done, he sent all the humans back to the village then closed his eyes and dug up something from a very old fairy tale: thorn vines... They surrounded the castle then engulfed it entirely.
He didn't do anything else until the castle was entirely covered with the nasty creations. Those were positively evil creations of his: deep black vines with angry red thorns of various sizes. If someone tried to get past them, the vines would wrap them up and the thorns would pierce them in numerous places before slowly and painfully devouring them.
He finally turned to look at Ilea and gave a soft sigh, then faded from sight.
Now, only someone with the right skills could get to Ilea to lay claim to her....
