Black Moon territory,
Just at the edges of the treeline, Nazu's heart shook with surprise. Outside the once small village walls, laid a rough new stone wall. It wasn't the size that bothered her, It was how solid the structure was, not too high, not too low, just thick. There were no weapons out on display, but she's been a warrior long enough to know what a trap was. She remained squatting a while longer, recollecting her thoughts.
"My Chieftain,...do you really want to do this?" A big bellied Orc nervously looked at the wall while asking.
"We don't have a choice Raal, Do you think our village can protect us from those things?" She responded rather sharply, partly because she was irritated, the other was because she hadn't slept for days. She became Uneasy when she found out that Mako and his undead would only arrive after a day and a half, so She took all her people and led them here as their defense isn't really ideal. And so planned to take a gamble by coming to black moon village, only to be shocked by the amount of changes the village had already undergone.
Haaa!!
ah!!
huff!!Huff!!huff!!
Gruff!!
While she intended to continue her words, some strange sounds broke her line of thought.
"Ho...Hobgoblin!!" Raal quietly exclaimed as his flesh shook, to think this was his true nature outside combat would make you question your sanity when you see him battle.
Yes this fellow was Nazu's right hand man, he could even be said to be her most loyal and strongest warrior when he's not being a coward.
Despite his cowardly ravings, Nazu didn't respond as she tried to understand what this Hobgoblins were doing.
They seemed to be running around the village while chanting loudly,
'A ritual?' She wondered, before choosing to silently watch.
The Hobgoblin did this twice around the village over the last two hours before charging through the gates in a wild dash.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" They yelled as they dashed in like their lives depended on it, It was then a loud baritone voice rang out in the whole village.
"The last one, will have their hair removed!!"
It was this that reminded Nazu of something, 'how come the males here has hair, unlike other orcs and goblins'.
"What does this mean?" Nazu absentmindedly muttered out loud, startling Raal.
"What?" He asked not understanding her.
"I mean...His words, is their hair a weakness or something?Why does it sound so precious" She continued, trying to explain.
_________________
Honestly, one cannot blame Nazu as she had always had her hair unlike the male counterparts of Black moon village who suddenly gained this new feature that so clearly adds to their handsomeness.
As a matter of fact, Alex had only noticed earlier today how important his people see their hair when Dabok mentioned it. It had even become a way for the females to accept a mate, as Black moon developed a belief that the longer your hair is shows how strong you are as a warrior.
Till date Alex's hair is the longest and so he is believed to be the strongest, followed by Torrelsav and then Urim etc, So it had become a trend without Alex realizing it.
So with this new knowledge which he found humorous, He developed an interesting threat while forcing them to perform exercises in order for them to get used to their bodies.
He had ignored this fact since He and the others as Orcs didn't change much in shape but to the Goblins, this was a major change for them.
After having them Run for hours, He then ordereded them to collectively pick up their short swords. then he made them perform the basic slash, cut and Pierce repeatedly while having Dabok order the Kobold, to make a standard sword.
Meanwhile the other, Goblins were paired and thought series of attack patterns that would help them support each other during combat.
The remaining Orcs were brought out of the village by Alex, Of course Urim, Torrelsav and the Halflings followed closely behind. The other villagers looked at the action with interest. As He lead everyone through the gate, He noticed Haji, Lovan's little son was all grown up.
This reminded him of the fast growth rate of Goblins into a.d.u.l.thood. Although once in a.d.u.l.thood, this slows down till it matches with the human's. Orcs, Ogres, Trolls, Satyr and minatours shared similar traits, only differing by a slight difference.
The Author had once explained this phenomenon as something altered by the God of time's daughter, Angolria during the first war of Gods. This was way before Ragol ancended into Godhood, infact the present calendar only began counting since his Ancension.
Anyway, Alex noticed the whole place was abuzz without the tensed atmosphere of the past three days and couldn't help smiling wryly.
'Best to always keep them active then.' He thought, before nodding at the Goblin with a smile.
_______________
At the same time Alex stepped out of the gate, Nazu noticed them. Shocked by the group that stepped out of the village she docked behind a tree once more with Raal and the others being a step slower.
She Noticed that the groups aura wasn't much different from her, which means they were all of the second circle. In fact, She noticed Alex who was leading them had an even more powerful Aura that made her feel danger, coupled with the way he dressed with the Black furred cloak and Black battle skirt. His black hair was let loose and the three Goblin skulls used to adorn his belt made him look wild and vicious as his gold colored eyes portrayed a vicious light. Behind him was Torrelsav that she had met some days prior and on the left side was Urim whom was a head taller than Alex and Torrelsav. He's hair was black as well coupled with a full rough beard growing beneath his jaws, due to The fact that the Great sword Alex gifted him had mysteriously increased in size to match his new size, it was extremely eye catchy, so Nazu quickly matched his picture with the orc she had mistaken for the leader back then.
The group were all dressed in the same black battle skirt and had matching tattoos, so She came to a conclusion.
'They must be the Guards for their Chief!'
With that thought, She began to Access Alex once more.
He scanned the Orcs one by one before speaking, "We'll use here for training, so I want....".
But before he could finish, His senses as a predator picked up on some auras and scents coming from the tree line. It didn't take long for Urim and Torrelsav to pick this up too, which impressed him.
"Oh? visitors?!!" The group all turned to the position Alex was facing. When Nazu heard this casual comment, She was shocked. At this moment, She felt like dangerous Magic beast had locked onto her.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
