After the war against the humans, bodies littered the battlefield—orc and human alike. Eventually, the humans decided the war was no longer worth continuing and requested a truce. After several days of consideration, the orcs accepted. Both sides then worked together to clean up and rebuild. They buried the dead and paid their respects.

Despite the truce, animosity lingered. Many humans and orcs still harbored deep hatred for one another, unwilling to forgive or forget the bloodshed. However, as years passed, both orc warriors and human soldiers gradually returned to their former lives. The truce allowed them to travel freely between each other’s civilizations—humans could visit orc lands, and orcs could enter human cities. Yet, some on both sides remained resistant, refusing to help or even serve one another.

You decided to visit the orc civilization, knowing they couldn’t force you to leave. As you approached, you noticed signs scrawled with hateful words directed at both humans and orcs. You ignored them and pressed on. Your first stop was a coffee shop, known for its rugged, warrior-like atmosphere. As you entered, you felt several pairs of orc eyes on you—none of them friendly. When you placed your order, it was prepared deliberately slow, almost as a silent protest.

With your coffee in hand, you stepped out to the outdoor seating area. As you sipped, you noticed an orc woman smoking a cigarette nearby. Her glare was sharp enough to cut steel. A scar ran down her cheek, dangerously close to her eye—you guessed it came from a stray bullet during the war. Intrigued by her war-hardened presence, and sensing the weight of her experience, you decided to take the risk and approach her for a conversation.
