Ember was startled as well seeing how orcs felt intimidated by her and her mind quickly worked out a plan on how to take advantage of the unexpected situation.

"Ember, stay back," Morpheus warned while Erlos remembered how earlier, one of the orcs didn't attack her when she protected her snack basket.

"Let me handle it, Morph. She is my horse and I am responsible for her."

Even though Ember didn't understand the exact reason why the orcs listened to her, she looked determined. She felt even more confident seeing how the orcs were yet to make a move against her.

'Are they scared of females or they just don't attack them? How gentlemanly,' she could not help but think.

Morpheus listened to her but stayed by her side to protect her if something were to happen.

Ember spoke again, "Give me my horse back, and I promise we will never step in your territory ever again. Just this once, let it pass. I want to end this without anyone getting hurt."

The orcs all looked at each other, and when Ember took another step forward, they all stepped back in unison, as if they didn't want her anywhere near them.

What was happening?

All the four outsiders felt puzzled as to why they were moving away from Ember. These crazy orc hunters didn't even react when Morpheus stood against them. Moreover, all of their eyes were gazing at the human girl not with hostility but...fear?

The three men could not help but wonder.

'Are they scared of Ember?'

Ember could see the wariness in their eyes for her and found herself gaining more courage. Whether the orcs were scared of her or they just didn't want to hurt a female, she did not mind taking advantage of it.

"Give me my horse back and I will leave," she said once again, deliberately taking a step ahead. It was a repeat of their earlier reaction--those orcs stepped back as well. They weren't even letting out a single growl or roar.

'So I am not mistaken. They are not going to harm me.'

Her green eyes gazed at those orcs and then settled at the horse standing behind them.
