'So many orcs!'
Ember's nervous gaze found at least about twenty or so grayish green giants in addition to the group they met by the river. They were the orcs hunting for food outside their village, and the sight of all of these armed hunters gathering had caused the gloomy atmosphere within the forest to give off a dangerous smell.
Morpheus signaled Ember to be quiet and stay back.
Ember obediently kept herself hidden behind a tree while Morpheus continued on towards the young elf and young eagle, their figures cutting a sorry figure amidst those monster-like creatures. From the looks of it, they were trying to talk to the orcs, but the orcs were trying to drive them away. For these territorial orcs, it was already a sign of goodwill that they were yet to raise their weapons against these two intruders.
