Fuck that!

"D-daddy! You told me-" The young orc girl angrily shouts, but she is quickly cut short by her apparent father.

"SILENCE, CHILD." He harshly exclaims, making the girl bitterly cross her arms and pout like an annoyed teenager.

There is a thick silence of almost a minute before the first scream is heard, what follows are more screams and townfolk running away. The orc warlord then makes a signal with his humongous hand and the smaller, bloodthirsty orcs quickly start moving. This officially turned into a mess.

You draw your sword and consider your options, you have to find the girls and get them somewhere safe. The closest stop at this moment is Rhea's blacksmith shop. You make a run for it, avoiding the feral orcs dragging women by their hair and fighting angry husbands. You quickly reach the place, out of breath, pushing the door open and firmly closing it behind you.

"Foehckin green sahn o' a betch, I'm goin to rep yooehr foehckin 'ead ooeht and make dat shetty 'ahrse eat it raw. You dink you can com' to me town?! well, think again, you checken foehcker asshahle!" You hear an enraged, raspy voice yell in an incomprehensible accent, accompanied by the cute, metallic sound of a bell. So, that's what Rhea sounds like when she is actually angry... The minotaur walks across the room, grabbing different weapons off the walls, examining them, and leaving them on the counter, looks like she is arming herself for battle, does she really think she can fight that many orcs?!

"Rhea!" You call, quickly running towards the frenzied cow, grabbing her hand and making her stop walking around.

"Ded you 'eard what dat sahn o' a betch wannts to do!? I'm goin' to kell every last one o' dem, who de foehck do 'e actually think 'e is!?" She loudly rants, looking down at you with a choleric frown.

"E-easy, princess. I can't understand what you are saying, take a deeeep breath." You hold her hands and try to calm her, she gives you a strange look but follows your instructions. Taking a deep breath and waiting a pair of seconds before resuming to talk.

"Alrite', sorry darlin'... I'm goin' to fecking kill him."

"No, you are not! There are too many of them, Rhea! I'll take you somewhere safe, come with me... please."

"I swear, I can do it! I've been in tha' army, lad. I'll divide 'em into small groups and... and..." You didn't know you had it in you, but you do: you make a sad puppy face at Rhea, looking up at her with big eyes and pouty lips... You probably look ridiculous, but you think you charmed her out of her suicide mission.

"...and... d-don't look at me like that! ...gods, ye are cute... alrite', let's go, I'll kill 'im later." She rolls her eyes, grabbing a huge iron war hammer that she previously left on the wooden counter and holding it over her shoulder. "...But I am killin' the ones I see on tha' way." She grins and winks an eye at you... fair enough!

You leave the shop and run towards your home accompanied by your minotaur lover. She keeps her promise, orc she sees, orc that is sent flying with a swing of her weapon... You can see people you knew agonizing and bleeding out on the streets, you want to help them, but you don't have time to lose... he is going to pay for this...

After a while of non-stop running, you finally reach your small, modest house... the door wide open... "No!" You furiously exclaim, firmly clutching the sword in your hand and quickly charging inside, just in time to behold some orc's head go flying in the air and fall on the floor of your living room. Scattered around, you can also spot two other green corpses expertly sliced to ****.

"What the fuck happened?!" Shouts Agis as she spots you, holding her light, blood-drenched rapier in her hand.

Your sister and Lola tremble in fear behind her. "Theo!" They faintly cry out at the same time.

Rhea enters behind you, smirking as she sees the known face. "'Ello, pointy ears. Rough mornin'?"

...The elf sighs and skillfully slides her rapier into the thin scabbard on her hip. "Gods, give me a fucking break..." She fakes an annoyed voice tone, but her little smile betrays her.

"Aahh, come on, I know ya love me! I have a charmin' personality!" The minotaur chuckles heartily. As they continue their playful banter, you check on Lola and Mattie, they seem shocked, but nothing worse than that.

"I'll take you girls somewhere safe, alright?" You soothingly say, planting a soft kiss on each of their foreheads. "...oh, I almost forgot!" You exclaim to yourself, quickly running towards your room, opening the trunk at the feet of your bed, and grabbing your father's ring. You take a deep breath before putting it on... now you can escape.

When the five of you are ready, you walk outside again. The coast is clear, the only orcs close are distracted kicking a poor man on the floor. You and the girls stick close and sprint towards the nearby forest. "W-where are we going?!" Your sister jittery asks you.

"...A wolf's den."

"A WOLF'S DEN?!?" The four girls loudly shriek at the same time in surprise.

"I will explain it on the way. Trust me."
