Months had passed by now. Caith and her son still lived side by side with the family that once saved her life. Two weeks ago they had to leave their home to go and live in a nearby village. The bigger one had become more dangerous then before. The woman in the family took care of Roy as Caith tried her best to help with hunting and reparation of the houses. One night, their neighbor came running through the door and screamed that orcs were attacking from the north. Caith rushed out of her bed, she gave Roy a quick look, then to the old lady who had taken her in. The woman nods to her, she knew Roy would be safe here. She grabs her sword and places her bow on her back then runs out the door. The night air was cold, the sky was dark, and no stars shone that night. She ran as fast as she could up to the wall that protected the little village, up there she could see that hordes of men had gathered with swords and bows in their hands. She turned her head and eyes to look outside the wall. Far away she could see a big group of something dark move towards them. She closed her eyes for a long moment. She knew this could be her last night. At least Roy is safe was the last thing she thought before she prepared her self for fight.
