The dusty wind blew hard against their terribly made clothes.
Slowly and surely, they reached the border gates. However, the doors were not made open to them. Instead, the Beast men on the stone walls looked at them strangely. some of them even pointing their weapons below.
"Who goes there?" One of the guards questioned in a stern tone.
Captain Timi immediately pulled down his scarf. "Please, help us. We are are refugees... Our village got attacked at night, and we... we have nowhere else to go!"
The guard on the wall was camel man. He looked at Captain Timi, "A Cat-man?" He asked in surprise.
Captain Timi nodded.
The Camel-man was at a lose for words.
He contemplated whether to attack or not.
"Please, we have wounded amongst us. They are in need of medical attention." Captain timi pointed to few amongst them that were carried on stretchers. many of them had bloody wounds.
