Tempting future

The death of the Alpha-level flying beast seemed to signal a shift.

The CutterSaur beast tide, as if released from some unseen control, began to scatter, fleeing to either side of Moonshadow Valley. After Orion and the Abyss Dragon's devastating attacks, the CutterSaurs no longer dared to approach the valley.

An hour later, the battle outside Moonshadow Valley had completely ceased.

The bloodline warriors of the Stoneheart Horde began the grim task of cleaning up the battlefield. They dissected the CutterSaur corpses, extracting meat and crystal cores.

Inside a temporary tent, Orion sat in the main seat, enjoying a massage from Lilith and Lysinthia. 

Prophet Onyx, Thundar, Earthshaker, and Rendall had already taken their seats, waiting for Delilah to arrive. 

Cleaning up the battlefield was part of Delilah's responsibilities as the Elder of Stewardship, so everyone was waiting for her.
