The Author's POV

Gud Khodror was located 3,000 meters above sea level, on top of a large desolate mountain on the southern hemisphere of Immorra.

After the demons invaded Immorra, the orcs had no other choice but to migrate to the south of Immorra where the land was drier and the soil was more infertile.

...the orcs weren't a united race as they would always tend to fight against one another due to their personalities.

However, with their race on the verge of extinction, they had no other choice but to unite.

As a result of this, after searching for a while, the orcs managed to find the perfect spot to set up a city and created Gud Khodror...the last remaining orc city in Immorra.

An impenetrable fortress that hid between a cluster of large mountains.

-Rumble! -Rumble!

Marching with the other orcs, lifting his head up and staring into the distance, Kevin's voice softened a little bit as he said.

"...so that's Gud Khodror?"

"Yeah..."

From the way he was speaking it was evident that he was overwhelmed by the sight before him, however, I couldn't blame him as I too was overwhelmed by what I saw.

On a different mountain than the one we were currently marching on, another enormous mountain appeared in the distance.

Its peak was majestic, and the mountain's topography seemed steep and perilous. From a distance, the mountain appeared to have three sides that stretched upward vertically, forming a semi-circular natural barrier that stretched all the way to the sky.

An ocean of clouds drifted above the mountain ridges making the place look even more majestic and mysterious.

Reaching one-fifth of the height of the mountain ridges, enclosing the natural semi-circular mountain barrier, was an enormous artificial wall that blocked anything from passing through.

By the side of the gates stood two enormous statues depicting two orcs looking down towards the ground beneath them holding onto two large axes that interlocked with one another.

The statues looked extremely intimidating creating an oppressive and menacing feeling.

In the middle of the wall stood a large wooden gate connected to a long and wide flat bridge that linked two mountains together. The one Gud Khodror was on and the one we were currently marching on to get there.

-Thump! -Thump!

As we marched across the stone bridge, looking below the bridge I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as I muttered.

"How deep is that?"

Utter darkness.

What was below the bridge was utter darkness that I could see no end of...

If I dropped a rock down the bridge, I'd estimate that I still wouldn't be able to hear the sound of the rock reaching the bottom a couple of minutes after dropping it...it looked bottomless.

"huuuu..."

As we neared the gates, taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my heart down. At the moment my heart was beating faster...and that was due to the two statues at the front of the gate.

Those two statues created a natural sense of fear towards anyone that looked at them for too long. It felt as though the real orc was standing and looking down on me.

...and when I mean orc I didn't mean a regular orc, but one that was at a league of his own.
