"They suddenly came a few weeks ago. It wasn't the first time bandits had come and tried to attack the village. Usually, the high walls would be enough to thwart a few bandits. If that wasn't enough, Uncle Jeffrey and Aunt Helena used to be mercenaries, and with bow and arrows at the ready, would scare them off. That usually worked, but this time it was different."
Milos spoke, remembering the past few weeks when everything was still normal.
"At first, they came in small numbers, we thought it was the same usual, and they got scared, but later we learned that they were just scouting the area. Uncle Jeffrey noticed that something was wrong, so he sent a letter for aid."
Milos spoke while making some hand gestures, and then he stopped as he bit his lips again.
