Moz's POV
'A chance!, a chance to prove myself and not abandoned in the corner like before' Memories of my experience in Blood horn tribe surfaced for a second but was cut off by the sound of the humans footsteps.
He ran towards me and I couldn't help bringing my guards up, The Chief called him strong, so he definitely must be. The slender fingers I used to hate, hovered over my Short sword's hilt.
'Avoid every attack and look for an opening, make sure the attack counts, if you are not sure of the hit, don't try it' Chief Torug's nonchalant voice lingered in my ears, That was the path My Chief chose for me...
I looked for the enemies weapon but found none, he rushed at me to attack with his fist and a frown appeared on my face, I believe that, if I attacked him with a weapon , I will be seen as one without honor.
'What are you doing?' Torug's voice came again, 'I am only sparring with you, that's why I am without a weapon, but even at that, because your enemy has no weapon, does it mean you must do the same?'.
'You, Moz, you're are a shadow Orc... do you think you have the same luxury as others? do you think you are allowed to take hits?, look here, you have no need for Honor, mercy to the enemy is to harm your own self'
'You're allowed to be despicable, your only honor is when you complete the missions I set out for you and when you are alive, looking down at your enemies.'
Series of instructions that I had received long ago while sparring with Torug, kept replaying in my head. The Human soon appeared in front of me and a strong wind followed after.
The he punched straight at my face, my eyes widened in shock...'Fast!'. I moved my face to the side while taking a step forward, the Chief always did this.
Perhaps shocked, He jumped backwards and stepped on the ground forcefully.
Boom!
Dust rose from the floor and flew straight to my face, forced to shield my eyes, I could feel him approaching. It's something, I had developed recently.
subconsciously, I lifted my leg and sent a kick to the side of his face but again, he moved to the side like the ground moved him there. He once again continued his attack and I chose to cut off his hand...
Clang!!!
It felt like I had hit something hard and I couldn't help being surprised that it was arm.
An invisible energy that could be felt but not seen, wrapped around his arms as he paused and looked at me once again, after that he looked at Urim and then Chief Torug.
The frown on his face could probably crack a Sun at the center of his brows, but something else was on my mind, 'can I wrap the shadows around my sword or even my body?'.
Too bad I didn't have time to ponder as the human warrior, yes I finally acknowledged him as a warrior, He roared while trying to grab my neck.
His speed increased by several folds compared to before and I instinctively wanted to jump back and disappear from his path, out of fear, I did what he did before, I rushed out to surround myself with the familiar shadow energy and something surprising happened!.
He passed through me with speed and I looked at my surrounding, it was different from when I used to jump into the shadows...it looked like a different world altogether, everything was dark and the trees were white. the human looked like a a whitish creature and so did Urim, but for some reason, Chief was glowing green.
With this opportunity, I decided to dive into the human warrior's shadow. He kept looking around, trying to find something and I couldn't help but feel that, this was the time to attack.
with that thought, I jumped out behind him to deliver a blow but surprisingly he immediately turned behind and reached for my neck.
"That's enough, time's up" Chief Torug's voice broke through the forest, "Urim your next, Congratulations Moz".
"Human, I'll allow you rest" Urim's voice came next and the human warrior sat down without any hesitation.
"Oh? so you understand our tongue?...Moz, what's the problem? why are you like that?"
Although I was praised, I couldn't help feeling down, 'I'm still weak'.
"Moz!!" a loud shout broke me out from my inner thoughts and I subconsciously answer, " My Chief!".
"Why is your body like that?, are you having trouble getting used to...?"
"Urim stop, Moz relax, your body is only feeling s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e right now, don't panic!" Perhaps sensing my distress, the Chief spoke to me, my surrounding kept flashing between the normal one and that Shadow world.
Over and over again, I struggled to gain control, 'there's no use panicking now, right?'...
"Moz, can you hear me?" Chief Torug asked again.
"What?" I asked rather listlessly.
"Is this the first time she has ever used this ability?", the human warrior suddenly asked with a frown.
"What do you know?"
The human continued to speak, "let her stop trying to control it!, it's not something to be forced!, give the body time to get used to it."
Urim walked towards him, like he was going to do something, but the human says while pointing at his green eye, "No need to look at me like that, I have had the same experience...".
"Urim"
"Brother?"
"Let him be"
"W..."
"Leave it"
"..."
"Are you sure of what you are saying?" Torug asked seriously while looking down at the man, "I'll have you know that, If what you say is wrong... I'll make sure the dead would feel more alive than..."
"Although there's nothing wrong with what I said, I did leave out one thing"
"Speak"
"..."
"remember you have my word, I said we won't kill you" Torug looked at his face and said with a small laugh.
"Fine, have her continue to place herself in whatever state she was in, until she's confident in her control"
"That's it?"
"Yes"
Nodding his head with a laugh that didn't sound like one, Chief Torug only replied with, "we'll see, unfortunately, you'll have to remain here until there are some changes".
"..."
"Do as he said" He said to me and I finally let go, as the darkness enveloped me. After so long, there was a change in the shadow world, it was like there was a strange wind that just blew in.
And suddenly, Two small white eyes appeared and began to observe me from their narrow sockets. A small nose rests below and a lazy smile reveals the small sharp canines.
Short bent ears sit on each side of its small, round face, a hair that looked like over grown bison fur, brown as the earth itself.
Its slender body is slightly hunched over, but that didn't hide the fact that she's female, her body is covered in smooth skin but what was weird was the chains that wrapped around her hands and feet.
After what felt like ages, She stopped screaming and began to take heavy breath.
Gaining some clarity, She looked at me again and looked like she was about to say something but soon looked at somewhere far away in the shadow world.
Perhaps seeing something, She turned to me and stretched her hand towards me, out of fear I closed my eyes.
"Brother, She's back and she looks..." Urim walked towards me as I opened my eyes.
"..."
I was back at the ruined village, it looked like only a few seconds had passed but everything I had experienced was real.
I was confused, 'Could the legend be true?, in this region, the powerful creature, Laboni, used to live here but no one knows what happened to it.'
Recalling the scene from earlier, 'She matches the description, with the white eyes and beauty but, how come she's trapped in the shadow world?' With that thought, I tried to go back once again but something I had never experienced before, happened.
"The shadows rejected me?" I muttered.
