WORLDS COLLIDE 8.6

According to those who knew human warfare, a siege could last for months. However, Fizkwik had a feeling that all chaos would soon be unleashed on the land. Maybe it was the null attempts of the humans to even shoot arrows at them, as if they didn't care that they were blocking one of the two bridges, or the way the orcs were behaving. They had always been strange, but now they seemed unpredictable. They scratched their heads a lot, as if their minds were being stung by a thousand spiders, they had sudden outbursts of anger and sadness, and they seemed constantly agitated. Fizkwik missed the relative peace of the savannah, where fighting was sporadic, danger natural, and the nights starry.

The riders returned from the main gate and dismounted. Urkk sounded his horn, for he must have news of Scourge's party. They gathered around him.

"We go to main gate. Soon it opens and we attack. Scourge and the others need us now."
