SuNSeT's Chronicles:
Ambush in Metallicana's Forests
 
 
 
That was the fourth night since we entered Metallicana's Forests. Like the other nights, we set up the encampment in a clearing of the Forest, keeping our goods in the center. Next to them Http and Advenedizo were discussing which road should we take in the next crossroad. They were talking cheerly between loud  laughs, drawing maps in the ground with the point of their daggers. Http and Advenedizo were old friends of mine, and they were traveling along the Kingdom gathering information about the misterious increment of attacks on villagers, and some razed towns. Resting, in the edge of the campfire's light was Lord Yakare, the Lizardman. Lord Yakare was in the way back to his home, the Green Swamp, and although Lizardmen are a quiet folk, they like to be with some friendly fighters while traveling by the dangerous zones of the Kingdom. I was on the other side of the encampment sat in the ground, leaning my back on a tree, sharping the edge of my sword. 
 
I, as a veteran Knight of the Order of the Setting Sun, had an special duty: To take care of Chappy, the young squire of my order (that was smiling while he cooked a kind of boar, over the campfire) as he crossed the Kingdom looking for an adventure, a chance to show courage and became a full member of my Order. 
 
I let my mind fly as the light reflected on my shinning armor when, suddenly, Lord Yakare stood up. Quickly, he crossed the encampment towards me, and calmly, with no sign of emotion nor tension in his voice, he asked with his sibilant voice:  
    -Sir Sunset?  
    -Yes, Lord Yakare? What is it?
-I replied, knowing that whatever disturbed the rest of the huge lizardman, could be a matter of prime importance.  
    -There's something wrong outta there -Continued, pointing some bushes and trees out of my sight. -I can smell something or someone... 
 
He could'nt end what he was saying. Chaos unleashed, lots of Greenskins came into the circle of light.  
    -Ambush!!! We're under attack!! -Shouted Chappy, running towards his weapons. 
By the way, Http and Advenedizo were wielding their swords, standing back-to-back in the Greenskins' path.  
    -Sssth'lick Sir Sunsetkorr, tubaiss yeshorclick istahss (It seems to be a funny night, Sir Sunset) -Said Lord Yakare to me, looking at them, and with the great celerity of his kind, he took his large battleaxe and ran to met our nocturne visitors. 
 
I looked at my sword and, smiling, I shouted: -"Indeed it'll be, Lord Yakare!" and I ran after him in order to engage the enemy.
