Amidst the loud celebration, Ka'z and Tu'ka quietly slipped away from the living area. The cheers of their peers continued behind them, echoing through the winding tunnels and mixing with the occasional laughter and cries of relief. For the first time since the battle began, the sanctuary felt alive again. Yet neither of them could bring themselves to simply sit around and celebrate. They needed to know what remained outside.
Grash's army had suffered devastating losses, but neither Ka'z nor Tu'ka was willing to assume that every enemy had been eliminated. If even a small group of goblins remained outside the colony, the celebrations could quickly turn into another massacre.
They walked deeper through the familiar corridors, their footsteps becoming the loudest sounds around them as they moved away from the living quarters. The evidence of the battle was impossible to miss.
