Indeed, all the orcs who tried to kidnap the two Clairval sisters are now lying on the ground, they are all dead. Most of them have succumbed to very serious wounds from Claire's sword blows, which showed them no mercy.
In one corner is Claire covered in blood and in another corner are the two Clairval sisters who are shaking with fear and excitement...
When the city guards see that the two small figures in the corner are the two daughters of the matriarch of the most influential family in the city, the Clairval family. The guards hurry as fast as possible to go in their direction to protect them from any danger.
They know very well that they risk their lives at this very moment! Indeed, they are guards in the sector but they let one of the members of the Clairval family to be attacked and even arrived late on the scene!
"Ladies! How are you? Are you hurt somewhere? The captain of the small guard brigade that was sent, asked the two sisters several questions in a row!
"Heuuu... no... I don't think so..." Vivianne answers her a little lost because of everything that has just happened in the last few minutes!
However, when the leader sees her reaction she believes that she has really been hurt and suddenly starts to panic!
"QUICK! QUICK! HURRY! CALL A HEALER!" She starts screaming at her healers!
After a few dozen minutes, a healer arrived on the scene and cast a spell to heal the two Clairval sisters!
"Here, ladies you are now healed!" The healer tells them with a soft and calm voice that gives the impression that she is trying to reassure them.
However, after the two Clairval sisters are out of danger, Vivianne suddenly starts to say!
"Hurry! You forgot about the orc that saved our lives!" Vivianne says to the healer for them to go heal Claire because she noticed that Claire suffered injuries during her fight with her enemies!
"Yes Miss!" The healer answers her with a little surprised tone but still follows the order because she knows that in any case she will be paid.
However, when the healer finds herself in front of Claire, she is shocked not by Claire's wounds but by the fact that she is covered with blood from head to toe in the literal sense of the word.
At the same time, the guards have also taken note of Claire who is on the other side of the street alone.
The healer starts to heal Claire's wounds with a simple healing spell.
"That's it! Tell me if you still have some pain ! The healer asks Claire with always the same soft voice but not very calm. Indeed, in spite of the fact that she is a healer who has seen many wounds, it is the first time that she sees so many bodies in the same place.
She is only a healer in a city that rarely sees the undead in the city.
"No, everything is fine thank you ma'am!" Claire replies with a slight smile.
When the guards see that the healer has finished her work, they decide to go to Claire to question her about the situation that happened here. Indeed, they could have questioned the two Clairval sisters but they are too afraid to scare them and therefore enrage the Clairval family who is behind these two innocent little orcs.
So the guards decide to question Claire first.
"Little one, tell me what happened here?" The captain of the guard group asks Claire while bending down to her level to be at her eye level.
"I simply helped these two girls against their kidnappers." Claire answers them with a calm tone that gives the impression that she just left to go shopping at the local market, at least that's what the guards present would believe if not for the presence of the bodies and blood that is in the street.
"Kid, you're telling me the truth aren't you? Are you sure you're not lying to me? The captain begins to get upset when she sees that the only witnesses are the two Clairval sisters and that they seem to be afraid of Claire.
The captain had the impression that there was a conflict between the group of kidnappers and that Claire was part of it. This is why she became suspicious and even angry with Claire.
When the other guards in the street see the reaction and the tone of their captain, they all circle around Claire and put their hands on their swords which are still in their sheaths.
But before the situation gets out of hand, Viviane, who is not far away, decides to take her courage in both hands and to explain to the guards the situation that happened in the alley.
After Viviane's explanation, the guards stop surrounding Claire and apologize to her and thank her for saving the two Clairval sisters from imminent danger to their lives.
Viviane then approaches Claire who is now standing in the street and tries to talk to her.
" H.... Hello, I.... I'm Viviane and what's your name?" Viviane asks her with a hesitant tone but finishes her sentence anyway.
"My name is Claire. Claire answers with a calm tone as if the situation around her has no effect on her.
"Thank you for saving us! And my name is Aude by the way!" Aude comes to intrude on the conversation between Claire and Vivian.
"Derien, I have what I would have for any other orc who would have been in your place! What I hate most in the world are the cowards who don't have the will to go out and face the undead but come and take it from the weakest in the safe zones." Claire answers them with a tone this time a little annoyed.
The two sisters are surprised by Claire's answer, but immediately see similarities with their thoughts.
Thus, the two sisters Clairval and Claire become long-time friends...
