Chapter 8: Back to::Chapter 8
Torn between visiting his cousin Frost Tharcher at the Elf village or Tenth sister's family. Tenth sister had a litter of kittens and that fact still seemed strange to Frost Kong. Squirrels should mate with other squirrels not the local tomcat. One thing led to another though since he made that promise with Gwen-ghost three years ago.
His squirrel siblings had also been affected by that promise growing twice as large with greater strength. They also grew independent all of them finding mates and starting families of their own. Frost Kong wasn't sure but he didn't think many squirrels lived to ten years let alone grow to two stone in weight. He had perfected running on the narrowest of ledges as well as vaulting over the castle walls. He could use the walls shadow to sink into darkness and seemingly disappear. In the end he chose to head into the forest. He still had to avoid the guards as they differently wouldn't let a eight year old boy leave the safety of the city especially if that boy was the heir to the keep.

The dryad was startled by the presence of the human. She could feel the spirit of all creatures in the forest except him. He was nearly upon her when he spoke. "Ah. Hello Amber. Have you seen my cousin?" Asked the small boy. He just casually strode up to her ignoring her charming allure. She regarded him briefly before answering. "Go past the next oak and in about five hundred feet you'll come to him and his wife coven by the stream." "Thank you Amber." He said as he raced towards the oak. In the moment he would collide his presence vanished again.

A murder of crows began cawing overhead. Frost Tharcher looked over to wives. "Is there a problem?" He asked. His first wife answered, "They say a frenemy comes. Meaning your cousin Kong Frost. He announced his presence to them so we wouldn't be caught by surprise. Let's get dressed quickly sisters. " she said to all. She reached for her shawl to cover her swollen belly. It would be soon that she would give birth to her first. She looked over to see her coven sisters all in earlier stages of maternity. Her husband, Frost Tharcher, was quite virile even if not a brownie elf.

The gang of orcs had been victorious pillaging the village. Many had slain the foul humans filling their bags with loot and trophies. They would go to the forest next and kill all the brownies, pixies, dwarf and elf. Any sylvan humanoid creature will fall from their axes. Roxas their war leader had even heard there was easy human prey. As humans enjoyed eating sweets they must be sweet as well Roxas reasoned. Roxas looked over his band as they were only less green than his own near black green skin. The darker green a orc's skin was the closer he was to their pure orc god Orcinus. And his tribe claimed to be Orcinus descendants.
