"Where we going sir Graynar?" asked one of the soldiers.
"To find the place where that poor man was attacked last night." replied Graynar
"Indeed," said Boldan, looking at it, "you have a good eye my friend.
They advanced into the forest clearing, when Graynar spotted a glint of light, coming from the bushes.
"Prepare yourselves, good sirs. We are not alone." said Graynar waving his sword above his head and lowering his viser. Boldan crouched in attack position as the two soldiers stood motionless.
"Are we in danger?" said the soldier who hadn't spoken yet.
"Possibly," reported Boldan. "Reveal your self, the one who hides within bushs. Are you friend or foe?"
Suddenly a thunder of foot steps arose. Bushes shook, branches cracked. The two soldiers huddled together, with little to no experience tucked in their belts, they quivered with fear. Then the footsteps stopped, and all remained silent for several seconds.
Boldan," said Graynar, "we're surrounded."
*THWACK!* One of the soldiers fell to the ground.
Leaping from the foliage, was five menacing figures. One bathed in shiny armour, was unmistakenly their leader. Graynar burst into action. Targeting the shining knight, he lunged forward, spinning his sword in his hands.
A battle had begun, and the dreaded Scorpian hordes had indeed returned!
