The next morning, everyone had heard that the Warbines declared war on the other Orcs.
"You were right about the Orcs declaring war, Vacuse," Kagerou said.
It was morning and Vacuse was on his way with the others to a meeting with the High Chief. The meeting was held in the Chief's private room.
Vacuse nodded. "It's only to be expected."
Behind him were Captain Mera and Harkon, the only ones allowed to accompany him.
The guards opened the door for them and they entered the room. The High Chief was seated with a large table in front of him. The table was covered in papers and maps.
Bent over it were the Elders and the High Chief, and the newcomers entering caused them to look up. Most of the Elders ignored them, except for the one whose son had died at Vacuse's hand.
The High Chief rested his eyes on Vacuse.
His gaze was unreadable.
"Humans from the Dragon land." His voice was heavy. "You have forced my hand."
