Edward and his men fought hard for what seemed like forever, slaughtering orcs one after another, but still more came. Weariness was taking its toll on his men, and only, himself included, remained in the fight. Edward was just about to give up hope when suddenly the mountain orcs disengaged, retreating back several feet.

Normally, Edward was glad for the reprieve, but he held no illusions that the orcs were taking a break for their benefit. As that thought passed through his mind, Edward’s eyes steadied on one particular orc as it pushed its way through its comrades. This orc was unlike any Edward had ever seen. It wore a gaudy headdress adorned with skulls of several different creatures, and jewelry made of bones.

A profound chill coursed his spine as if Death’s fingers caressed him.

“Shaman!” Another soldier screamed, and Edward turned to look at him as the orc began waving its hands.

Edward looked back just in time to see a flicker of flame swirl into existence directly in front of it. He watched as the ball of fire arced through the air on a direct and unerring trajectory toward them. There would be no escaping it, they were trapped.

“And so, we die.” He remarked quietly, a split second before the fireball landed in their midst, and detonated with enough force to level everything outside of the blast range.

No one from Edward’s patrol survived.
