[Aerandir Carnesir]

As the soldiers were leaving, Alkladion ran up. "Wait up for me," he said, "I thought I was lost when everyone was not to be seen, and all I could hear was the screaming of innocent people. I found some bodies laying back in that clearing." He pointed to a small glade which was shaded with a mysterious, dark mist. He said,"There are a few bodies back there. They looked as if they have been sucked clean empty. I think that there are more than just orcs in this gang of mauraders."

The soldiers trudged on, keeping sight on eachothers backs, and looking up into the forest canopy; Hoping that no foul creature would come down on top of them. They were not alone.
