The Secondary Saga - Prologue, Introductions

[Gildarts]

Needled darts, sharpened spears, and steely arrows whizzed by her ears, fluffing up the loose strands of hair that fell over her shoulders. A quick, analytical gaze cast to the forest, hidden by dark shadows from the canopy of trees. Night was crawling close and her guess had been correct. Too many people, too much noise.

And now, they were prey.

Orcs. It was a raid of orcs where flint seared like hot cinder and tribal drums began to play. Their numbers, the girl estimated by the proximity of the attack, were just about the same as there were people gathered and slowly increasing. Orcs were territorial and upon a closer look, there were bold markings etched on tree and stone alike.

Christa lowered her body to the ground in a hidden squat as she braced herself behind a nearby rock for cover. The soldier savored the second when she raised her pistol and fired a blasting bullet into the air.

OOC: THIS THREAD IS CLOSED! Unless you have talked to me or gave me a heads up, get atta here!

This ends phase one, day one. To conclude the thread our secondary party has been attacked by ORCS! The Orc raid will continue in the following thread (Day 2), which will be put up TOMORROW! (WED 12!)

DAY TWO WILL LAST ONLY TWO DAYS OOC

For those curious, we are taking a day off to judge and give people the chance to catch up on their reading ;)

Also, if you really want, you can pre-write your post because the Orc raid will be the majority of it and/or you know you will be busy that day. Prepare for battle!

Lastly! Because this thread has so many wonderful participants, please when you are using another character for dialogue or interaction, state the name for coherency (all the time). You won't get deducted for repetitive pronouns and I want to know who is doing what with who, because grading. And it's simply clearer that way.

THE INTRODUCTION HAS ENDED and so has my mercy

Happy writing!
