Where And How It All Went Wrong

Village after village was raided by Orcish Hordes. Not all raids went succesful, but most of them brought in more and more loot for the Treasury of the Orcish King. Not being naive, the Orcish King spied on the Human King City, to spot any counter attacks. Orcish Scouts followed every move of the Human King, every partol, every suspicious activity. The Scouts had to return upon alarming news and only then. The Orcish Scouts reported counter raids by Human Horsemen. Some Orcish raiders only narrowly escaped the Human Horsemen raids, sometimes only a few of the Horde returned, sometimes without any loot. Returning hordes without loot, found no mercy from the Orc King. Some days it was raining Orcs into The Abyss. Newly risen Orcish Hordes, from The Black Sources, replaced the old ones.

At one point, everyday there were attacks by Orcs on Human villages, Human mines. And everyday there were Human Horsemen doing counter raids. Some deep anger grew between Humans and Orcs. The conflict between Humans and Orcs widened. Many casualties, lots of blood wasted. Trolls and Wolves entered the conflict, as ordered by the Orc King. Human Bowmen and Human Swordsmen joined the fights. Surrounding the Orcish Stronghold a regional conflict was escalating. Humans against Orcs, Wolves and Trolls, was how the battle lines were drawn.

The day it all escalated, was a day the Orcish King will always remember. A loud explosion was heard below, coming from the deep. Orc Guards rushed to the scene. The guards warned the Orc King as quickly as they could, that he had to take a look. At the door of the Treasury, the Orc King stood. The Orc King was stunned, shocked, not sure how to react at first. The Treasury used to be filled up to the roof, with gold, diamonds, loot. Now the King looked at an empty cave with a hole in the ground.

Those filthy Humans! Was the first out of the Orc King's mouth.

The Orc King knew of the Human knowledge of explosion. His spies have seen Humans use it in the mines. Only one thing in the mind of the King, amid the escalation of hostilities between Humans and Orcs:

Of course, it's the Humans! 

Well then. From now on we will attack the Humans everywhere and anywhere! It's no longer about punishment! This is about annihilation! Total annihilation!

And all the while, two magical powered skeleton eyes spectated it all..
