Tarian and his closet advisors were standing on the wall looking out at the massing horde of alien creatures. Using a telescope, Tarian was able to identify some of the creatures as trolls and goblins. Yet there were new creatures amongst them that looked just as terrifying.

Keldon reached out for the scope his friend was offering and looked out over the massing force for himself. “Not only that, but it seems that we have new creatures to deal with.”

He lowered the scope, looked over his shoulder, and addressed his advisors. “Kel, there’s more of them than last time.”
Keldon reached out, and Tarian handed the scope over to his friend.

“Let’s hope they remember that,” Tarian said, turning to Caleb.
