Maleficent looked up at the Lonely Moubtain before them, and she did have to admit that she gaped her lips a little bit in astonishment. It's been a long time since she has last seen the mountain up close. "It's been an age since I have seen the mountain so close", she said aloud.

She looked enough like a commoner, but her dark auburn hair was draping over her chest. "Death is upon you. The flames of war are upon you", the orc began to laugh maliciously.
