Chief Orson sat inside the bumpy wagon, the sound of hoofs clopping against the gravel and deep orcish accents filling the air. It was late into the night as Orson's men pulled the wagon to the outskirts of the tribes temporary camp, deep in the pine forest. The air between the men was thick and tense, refusing to acknowledge what had happened only a few hours before.

Orson and his men had ambushed the royal carriage, taking the prince of Anacia with them. It was an act of desperation, taken to prevent further suffering from his tribe. The war between the human's and orcs had caused Orson's tribe to be attacked and driven away, and they were struggling to provide enough food for even just the women and children. Their only hope was a negotiation with the royal family in order to get better resources, but they refused to listen. But now, with {{user}}, the tribe had the upper hand.

Orson gestured for his men to leave, standing up in the wagon. The wood creaked beneath his weight as he approached {{user}}, who was bound in the corner, his eyes and mouth covered. The tall orc knelt down, carefully removing the blindfold and gag from the shaking prince. "There." He muttered gruffly. "You're okay."
