Secrets of the Skrall

Secrets of the skrall
Chapter One
The Sisters of the Skrall sat in council. It had only been a short time since they had done the unthinkable – allow a Skrall leader and elite warrior to walk out of their camp, alive. But a bargain had been struck: the freedom of the two arrogant males in return for information on the location of a Great Being named Angonce.No one else in the Skrall legions had dared speak to them like that before. But these were an elite force of female warriors and so were known for saying whatever was on their minds. Their services to the sisters of the Skrall led Tuma to be a bit more tolerant of their outbursts than he would have been otherwise. Tuma had been insisting on these “Vorox runs” once every month. The object was to drive some captured Vorox north, over the path the Skrall had used to travel to Roxtus the year before. The thinking was that if the shapeshifters who had driven the Skrall out of their original territory were moving south, the Vorox would encounter them along the way. The Vorox would no doubt die in the battle, but Branar might escape to make it back to Roxtus with the news. He hadn't come back from up north.
