[Judge Simon]

Shade nodded solomly at Faye and left the tent. Walking out into camp everything was still. Shade thought this was odd. Then the attack came without warning. It was the last attempt of a desperate orc army. They attacked without mercy and with a terrible fury. Shade was caught off guard and barely had time to draw his sword. The orcs had surrounded him and were fingering their cruel weapons. The blow came from the side. A sharp bash to the head from an orc scimter. Shade fell on his knees. The attack of the army around them was deafening. Men screaming, orc shrieking out. A blade was plunged into Shade's side. Shade could only watch, dumbstuck by the chaos around him. Another knife and then an axe. Shade didn't remember anything at all. Life went black and Shade passed out of it.
