That was a nice continuation or the battle story, I find it is difficult to describe a battle it seems like there are not many words to use, I like how you used comparison to give idea what that might felt to be exhausted but have to fight to survive and it is almost like they do not hate each other but just have to do because otherwise will be killed.
I am wondering who are those people who found Shog, it could be a possibility if he have had a time travel :)
