And although, after many years of traveling the world, Selena had managed to shed that terrible image of Orcs that had formed in her mind in childhood, she still treated the green humanoids on board the ship with some caution, especially Urthang, who seemed even more savage than his fellow, Rutyn. Sometimes she found that her fingers unconsciously closed around the hilt of the sword at her belt, as if subconsciously preparing for battle.
Upon the captain's request, she went out on deck and silently observed the process of questioning the crew members, waiting for her turn. As she surveyed those gathered, her gaze stopped on Akane, a swordswoman from Ishiva. During the war with that country, Selena had met many of its people, some of whom she had killed herself, and others had killed her comrades... But despite this, over time, she saw in them just ordinary soldiers, like herself, and eventually realized that the Yoru were not much different from the Sylphs (at least compared to the Trogolodites), and therefore the girl from Ishiva did not evoke any negative emotions in her.
