Chapter 2.1: Faeries
Bash was making his way through a forest.
The woodland was dense with thick trees and foliage, and devoid of any man-made roads. There was only the occasional animal path, lined with sharp and thorny shrubbery.
However, his thick and hard Orcish skin was impervious to the prickle of the thorns, and his sharp instincts, refined through more than a decade of warfare, acted like a compass, keeping him on his path.
His destination was eastward, towards the Human Country that neighbored the Land of Orcs.
Among the victors of the war, the Humans were the most successful. Out of all the nations of the Alliance, they held the most territory.
Furthermore, the Humans had also conquered most of the previously Orcish territory.
Of course, the Orcs held no grudges against them for that.
It was only natural – in a war, the winner takes all.
Why was he on route to the Human lands?
