Orc Wars Page #4

---

John Norton.

Thank you for keeping me safe.

Forget it.

lt is said that the Sentinel

is not only a great warrior,

but also a great protector.

Those in need often gravitate

to them for safety...

even before they are the Sentinel.

Well, you're not safe yet.

This is your destiny, John Norton.

There is no doubt.

- May we come in?

- Whitefeather!

You live?

l think we have a respite

from the onslaught,

for the time being.

Who are you?

- Scooter.

- l found him in the woods.

He was... crying.

What are these things?

- They're orcs.

- Orcs?!

No need to say anything,

l already know

l'm damn good looking.

lndeed you are.

Ok, ok, l got an idea. Let's run.

We gotta get out of here!

We can go somewhere safe,

somewhere they'll never find us,

like New Mexico.

We're not running.

We could drive.

Leeroy's dead now,

l could probably borrow his truck.

Look, go if you want.

But this stops here.

All l wanted was to be left alone.

To have a place of my own,

a sanctuary, but no.

They brought their war here,

to my home.

So when they come,

l'm going to be ready for them.

But how will we know

when they come back?

Wait here.

Hey, uh, do you need any help?

Yes l do.

Speak.

Your highness, the preparations

are progressing as planned.

More clans are arriving every hour.

Excellent.

We loathe to ask, Excellency,

but when will the other Sisters

of Wurgisnacht be arriving?

My sisters are gone,

murdered by the Aynherjor

on their long journey.

l am the last of the Wurgisnacht.

Looks like we're pretty much clear,

as far as l can see.

The stars are so different here.

Really?

Edenock is a strange place.

l don't know. l kinda like it.

lt's a very noble place.

Norton was right,

this isn't your fight.

Why don't you go, and be safe?

Maybe it is my fight.

Seems to me

that if someone's in danger,

it wouldn't be right to just

walk away and leave them.

Especially when a beautiful

princess is what's in danger.

l'm coming in.

- l see you. Come on in.

- Norton is here?

l think everything's set.

Ok. You know what to do.

lf everyone keeps their head

and does their part,

we've got a chance.

When we attack this tree line,

right here,

we have to keep them off balance,

confused and divided

with some shock and awe.

lf they get any opportunity

to attack us all at once,

we're dead meat.

l just wish we had something bigger,

something that could handle

larger numbers.

Any estimate on how many orcs

we may be facing?

One can pass many troops through

a Worldgate in 23 minutes.

And there is no shortage

of orcs in Nemis.

Well, after tomorrow there will be.

You speak like a man who has embraced

his destiny, John Norton.
