The next morning, they hurridly pack their stuff and immediately left the inn.However, this time they were more accepting of the villagers gifts of food and sharpening of weapons, which were of course free of charge for the merceanry duo.Hours later, it was mid afternoon when Azam whispered to vic "I think we're being followed"

"But by who though"Replied victoria, who was at this point scanning the surronding forest with her hands on her daggers ready to throw them at their stalker.

Then emerging from the tree tops two obsidian coloured arros darted towars the two them, who luckily, were able to dodge in time to avoid them."Obsidian arrows" observed victoria upon closer inspection, "we are being targeted by an orc scout, as these are orc made arrows handed to scouts to snipe targets" replied vic confidently.

"well spotted,not only have identify that I am indeed a scout, but you were also able to dodge them aswell, not many mercs are able to do that, I presume that the two of you had previous encounters with orc scouts like myself" replied the stalker from amongst the trees.

"You are correct we had encountered several scouts while offering escorts for traders and merchants protection from orc scum like you"Replied Azam, as he cracked a little smile in the corner of his mouth, he had been inching for a fight ever since they have left the base.

"Lightning style:Lightning bullets" ,in a flash a birrage of lightning bullets darted towards the voice amongs the tree tops surronding them.Moments passed and the voice didn't gave a replied, believing that they have won Azam relaxed and said "see? that wasn't much of challenge" he said turning towards victoria who like him was also beginning to relax up a little.

Jumping down from an injured orc walked towards them and arrogantly said "even amongst the human scum of the republic, I have to admit your lightning magic is impressive but nowhere as good as mine"

"Your lightning user" Azam asked with a burrow raised

"Yes I am indeed" Replied and without hesitation the orc scout pulled out his dagger and made a pounce towards Victoria who was quick enough to reinforce her dagger with her explosion magic which send the three flying back when the the blades collided.As the dust cleared, the orc scout sacumb to the wounds and lied unconcious on the path while Vic, covered in dust, was only inflicted with minor cuts and scratches.
