The sun shone down from its place in the heavens as Urisk walked down the road, casting his shadow in front of him as we went. It was quiet out, almost unusually so. The insects' soft chirpings were the only company as he walked along, the birds of the area seeming to be almost nonexistent. He looked down as he walked, his eyes following an invisible line in front of him imprinted in his mind's eye. By now he knew exactly where he was heading to, but still not what it was. Whatever it was though, he had a nagging feeling that it was important, and perhaps dangerous as well.
Ignoring whatever feelings of potential danger he had, he walked on, looking up around him. He still saw nothing of interest after all this time. To his currently impatient mind, it seemed like he'd been walking for hours. Suddenly, a roaring of multiple voices split the near silence. Despite being a fair distance away, at least out of sight due to the upcoming hill, it was easily heard. It was almost unmistakable as a band of orcs, and it was likely they were attacking some poor victim. He took off at a sprint toward the hill, even though he knew he would most likely be too late to help at all. He doubted he could even help if he got there in time, as he wasn't armed and he had nothing he could use against them at a moments notice.
He made it over the crest of the hill just in time to see a woman falling to the ground, four dead orcs around her. He ran down the hill at a full blown sprint, stumbling and almost tripping on the way down in his hurry. Once he reached her, he went down to his knees, going down to get a closer look. She didn't seem to be very injured, but she was turning pale as if she had lost blood, and looked to be unconscious as well.. He slipped his arms under her, picking her up in a bridal carry and moving her off of the road, into the softer grass. Laying her down gently, he stood up, wondering what he should do. Deciding he should just try to wake her up before anything else, he tapped two fingers against her cheek multiple times, speaking to her.
"Are you awake? Can you hear me?"
