She was saddle sore from all the riding and in bad need of a bath. Leading her horses to the top of the rise she took in the sight of Pernia. Something was wrong; the entire town was a bustle of activity. She was too far away to make anything out, so decided to skirt round to the left and approach the town using the trees as cover. Her mind raced with what could be happening. Had they been invaded by the southerners? The tensions between the two nations were high, and it was only a matter of time before war broke out. Carefully making her way through the trees, she could make out screams and shouts. She could here women screaming, men dieing, blades clashing. She was in no doubt now that war was upon them. Dismounting and tethering the horses she crawled on her stomach approaching the tree line. From her vantage point she could clearly peer into the town. All was chaos, armed men running between buildings killing the towns' folk. The most intense fighting was concentrated on the fort. She watched as the southern army breached the wall. Judging by the number of milling men, it was only a matter of time before the fort fell. Most of the towns' folk were being herded into the centre. The men were mostly hacked to death where they were found. Some were trying to fight with whatever weapons they could grab, but most offered little resistance. It was obvious to Raven that the army had surprised them. The women in the town centre were all huddling together crying in fear, or for the loss of a loved one. The warriors guarding them were laughing and jeering at them. Raven knew they would be raped and killed soon. War did strange things to men, normal farmers with loving wives and children would kill, rape and plunder. Raven thought of the two men she had raped and left to die in the woods. Perhaps she was no better. She didn't care; to show compassion would be to die in this world ruled by mans sword. The warriors were already raping the women. She could see the maid from the tavern being pulled from the group of women by her hair. The warrior ripped her blouse and skirt from her body before forcing her to her knees. The warrior struck her in the face twice still holding her by her hair. She watched as she saw the maid forced to suck his cock. Another warrior had disrobed, and moving behind the maid he roughly started shagging her. Other warriors were performing equally lurid acts on the other women. The women who tried to resist were punched or kicked into submission. One woman screaming uncontrollably was run through with a sword and left twitching in the dirt to die. Other soldiers were joining the scene now. As each man finished, another would take his place. Already the maid had two other men roughly fucking her. The ones that waited were cheering on their comrades and stroking their cocks while they waited their turn. Unable to see anymore due to the men thronging around each of the helpless women, Raven carefully crawled back into the undergrowth. She had seen enough and needed to report the attack, as soon as possible, to the nearby forts. Finally reaching the rise Raven took one last look at Pernia. Smoke was billowing from the fort and various other buildings. She turned and galloped north.
