The Astoria Conquest (1)

[The Girl's POV]

Amethyst looked out the window as Artemis spoke, ''Grish, why do we need to involve ourselves in this war?''

The orc girl looked at her with a smile. ''To grow stronger and gain experience, plus the Wildheart Kingdom is paying a fortune for powerful adventurers to help push the Southmen back south,'' she said.

''Rumors speak of the Demon of Thalassia holding them back at the King's Pass, but who knows what the truth is,'' Estelle commented as she sharpened her blade.

''Do you think Azhar'Zul will meet us there?'' Amethyst asked as she looked at the group.
