Garrosh's War (16) Finding the Clan...
.... After the incredible moments with Garrosh. I felt whole. As part of something. And was now part of him. Here in the endless war with the Orcs. Thia war that had pulled me into it with the death of my family. And over the next few months I became better and better at killing my enemy. With constant training my my ally and lover Garrosh. I was killing Orcs quicker and more efficiently. Using their own bumbling strength against them
"Good kill" he would tell me "You are becoming a true warrior"
I was glad that Garrosh was pleased with me. In more ways than one. We were as one of seemed.
It was several days later that we saw action happening in the distance. We had found the war. We could see many figures in motion. There were at least a few miles off. A village was I the midst of the mele. Fear found its return to my bones. I saw my village again. Burning once more. Fire rising up from buildings as we headed towards it.
"Come" he then said. "We shall come around there" "Then we shall be amongst brothers"
He pointed to the right and then he got up and ran. I rushed down there being the big man. We came arpund as he said. There were building on the edge if the village that there were humans. They ran in panic from the fighting all around. Orcs attacking any being not thwir own kind. There were some Orcs going for a group of humans. So I rushed towards them. Pulling out my long blade and attacking.
"Be gone dilrh" I shouted "Leave them alone"
The Orc turned just as I pounced. Then I deove the bkase k to him. He howled and then fell. Anorher turned to me to attack. I screamed at the people to run.and they did. Rushing away feom the scene. The Orc came at me. Club up and ready to strike. But I turned an flipped over out of the way of his swing. Then I turned on him. My training with Garrosh paid of. I tossed the short blade at him at getting his leg. He fell to the ground and I rushed him. Adrenaline my master as I ran at him and sliced his arm off. Then grabned my short blade from his leg. Twisted it as I pulled. Blood gushed feom him.
"Die you horrible monster!" I shouted
I then yanked my blade from him. I then turned to see several coming at me. And also a few Ogres some 20 yards away. I crouched into a defensive stance. And then as form moved by me and tackled an Orc. It was Garrosh.
"Garrosh!" Another Ogre shouted "Is that you borther.?"
I looked at the Ogre calling to Garrosh. He saw me amd bared his weapon. But then I shouted at him.
"Behind you!" I yelled.
He turned and saw the Orc. Flipping aroind with hia own blade.
"Die Orc scum". He growled. "Die now!"
He drove his blade deep into the beast. Then started to stab at it, multiple times for the kill. Another came at him. I leaped forth to aide the Ogre. Jumping at him as the Orc came on him. Then driving my blade into his shoulder. He howled from the pain.
"Now you Orc!" I shouted "I will kill all of you" "Unclean animal"
I was attacking the Orc when the Ogre grabbed me. He yanked me to the ground and bared his weapon at me. I feared my aiding him only angered him. He would kill me. I was not his ally or friend. Just some human.
"No Merat. Leave him!" Came a voice near us "He is an ally"
Mad at stopped and looked at his friend. He turned and dropped me down, back to the ground. He got up and saw his friend. He smiled. Then the two old comrads embraced.
"Garrosh my brother" he huffed "We had thought you dead." "I almost was" Garrosh replied "I narrowly escaped. My new friend here helped"
Merat looked down at me like I was some puny thing. He sneared a bit. I saw he was smaller than the huge Garrosh. But no less intimidating. "He is but a puny human" he growled back
Then Garrosh told him about what had happened to me. And our tale together. Save for the intimacy of course. But Merat was still assuming I was not good for Garrosh. Suggesting I had slowed him down. "We have lost many with out you brother" he said "It is good to have you back."
He grunted at me. Then Garrosh suggeated that I had helped him too. "He has become a great warrior" he said
He placed a hand in my shoulder and squeezed. His touch was the most reassuring thing I had felt in some time. Since my father. And I loved it. Merat snorted once. He looked at his friend and then back at me again.
"Come" he crowed "The men will be happy to see you"
I followed them to their troops. I saw a few dozen Ogres there. Standing over the massacre of bodies. Humans and Orcs. Then I saw humans that had survived fleeing the scene. The Ogres regarded me as I stepped into the group. I feared as they looked at me like I was food. Even though I knew they didn't eat humans. Or at least I didn't think so.
"Why is the human here" one said "He saved my life" Garrosh stated "Him" another blurted "He is so small. Even for a human"
Then several began to laugh. But Garrosh defended his words about me. Saying that i was a good fighter for my size.
"He sneaks under and attacks from below" he continued "Sleek and fast he is. "
I looked at Garrosh. Smiled at him lovingly. Then I caught Merat looking back at me. Thats when he smirked. An almost sinister smirk at that. Like he had discovered something about me. Then he chimed in comment into the conversation.
"Yess." He huffed "I see why you keep him around brother" "I see now"
Garrosh placed his big hand on my shoulder. Then telling them the tale of my loss. And the angers I had in wanting the Orcs dead myself. "He is one of us now" he declared "Ogre pup" aomeone shouted
I was happy that he said I was. I felt more akin to the Ogres now than my own kind. The n I lookes over at Merat. He had reached down and adjusted himself below. Then he gave me a leading glance. Flicking his tongue out at me.
"Yess" he huffed "Tiny Ogre pup indeed"
He moved around the thing in hia crotch. I could see it had gotten bigger under his codpiece. And I understood Merats motions. Clear as water......... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To be continued
