"Well brother, what's with the urgent summon"? Subaka asked.
"You seemed worried dear". A female orc amongst the troops said.
I summoned all of my troops for a meeting, even my wife Nakia, as she's second in command over the troops. I wanted to tell them about that nightmare I had … it felt too real.
"Starting tonight, I want more guards posted around the village. I need three people to each station and I want the remaining troops to help the residents be in their huts by night time. Once those troops are done ensuring that the residents are inside their hut, I want those troops to stay there and guard the resident's hut. I have a gut feeling that something is going to happen".
"Have you gone mad"? My brother asked.
"Sweet heart we appreciate your efforts of protecting and keeping our village safe, but I believe it's time for you to rest. Every time I come back to our hut from patrol, I always find you tossing and turning in your sleep". Nakia said, as she walked up to comfort me.
"We're going to be ok".
"Yeah honestly it's about time you take it easy sir, it wouldn't be the same without you if you let stress put you back into the earth early". One of the troops said, chuckling.
"I had a disturbing dream last night. I saw our village raided and us captured by humans".
"How can you witness something brother that you have not seen"? My brother asked in disbelief. I couldn't give him a straight answer, because I didn't even understand it myself.
"I cannot explain it, however, it felt so real and it felt as if I could see what will come to pass".
"Listen brother, your nerves are getting the best of you and all of this nonsense about humans invading us has driven you insane. Nakia shall take command for the night and you should definitely rest for a couple of days. I shall keep watch over the village". Subaka said, placing his hand on my shoulder.
The rest of the troops agreed and since my wife took command from me within that moment, I was ordered to return to my hut and rest. Everyone thinks I'm speaking nonsense, but this feeling that I felt, it's something I cannot ignore and it's something I trust.
While Obaka returned to his hut, Nakia still held and conducted the meeting.
"The order given by Obaka, you can ignore. I personally just over rode his command, however, I do want a search team tonight. I want the search team to take the dragons and search the area and nearby areas for any signs of humans or other creatures, at least when he wakes up, we can assure him that he has nothing to worry about".
"So you too, give into his absurd antics?" Subaka asked.
"Well we haven't had any human interactions in years, but this is the first time that he's ever acted like this. Speaking as second in command, I can say his nerves are really getting the best of him, however as his partner, it is my duty to tend to his needs and be there by his side regardless of what's going on".
"We may not be blood, but you sure do know my brother better than I do. Do what you see fit my lady, we support your decision". Subaka said.
The group disbanded and night time soon followed. As it was getting closer to the night, a group of Orcs went to the Dragon Realm to gather some dragons in order to search the area, just as Nakia ordered them to. When the Orcs entered the realm, they were amazed by the color of the dragon's scales.
"The last time we've been in this realm was when the chief's father was in command. It is interesting how this realm works and how it intertwines with ours, but I'd never thought I'd see the day where we have four different colored dragons, whose scales are uniquely bright". One of the troops said.
"Such a magnificent sight to see. Two are bright blue and the other two are purple".
"We must focus right now, we'll take those dragon's but we must hurry and search the area". Said another Orc in response.
The group took the dragons and took the rest of their journey to the skies.
The search team searched the area's land far and wide, until one of them found a kingdom.
"Well, looks like we've found something". One of them said pointing to the ground.
"Hey, the scent I'm picking up is human". The other responded, as they drew closer to the kingdom.
While the search team drew in closer to the kingdom, one of the kingdom's guards from the castle spotted the team and alerted the other guards of the castle.
"Shit, we've been spotted". One of the orcs said, as the group was turning back around.
"We can't risk using these dragons to fight right now because they're still young and I didn't think we'd be spotted. We must hurry back to the village now"!
