Khelek rested his head upon his paws. It was his watch, and the dawn was still an hour or so away. The forest was quite eerie at night. The flapping and whirring of bats wings was most unnerving, and the snuffling and grumbling of passing beasts just as. Some of the more rude beasts would growls and snarl at the draug, and the eyes peering forth from the gloom were everywhere. Khelek sometimes rose to growl at them, daring them to come a step closer. Most of the eyes blinked out, only to return again.

=============================

Gayahithlum stubbornly stepped right up to Daegon. 'You are going to fight Orcs. We are coming with you. Just because we are maidens does not mean we cannot fight.'

Daegon was slightly shocked at the maiden's response. So shocked, in fact, that he could only mutter a few words. Weren't maidens supposed to be quiet and polite?

'Then it's settled,' Sauche said eagerly. 'We're going in together!'

===========================

Mornovarion stealthily continued on his way through the dark woods, going southwards. Stopping for a little rest, he properly cleaned his blade against a leaf with large droplets of dew gathered. Wiping his blade against his cloak to dry it, Mornovarion resheathed the Orc blade and continued on.
