It was dawn, I could hear the cock crow, as clear as ever, then, then they came, spears, swords, bows, we were outnumbered. I alone escaped. Since that fateful day my fear for humans turned into hate, I despised them for what they did, I wanted them all gone. Years went by, I hadn't planned my revenge. One day, I came across an ancient land called Erebor, they home of the mountain dwarfs. I knew I was close to human civilisation, the Kingdom of Norland was close by. Off the edge of that kingdom. I saw something. I thought I was the last of my kind. But in the forest of Norland, I saw a group of Orcs, conversing in the tongue of, something familiar, English, I think it was. I had been isolated all these years, I didn't know what was what. They saw me, they gestured at me to follow them quickly. There, I made my first ever friend. Mitis, from Old Latin, in english it means the gentle. He was my closest friend. We all hated humans down in the cave. We all planned revenge. But. One dawn. I woke early. To the sounds of savaging, death, screams, then. It dawned upon me what happened. The soldiers of Norland had arrived. Along with the mountain dwarves of Erebor. They killed everyone. I only found Mitis in time. We both escaped. Then. A mountain dwarf with a Soldier of Norland came. They speared Mitis in the back, then dragged him on the floor. He screamed at me in Orkish, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, RUN, ESCAPE. But just stood there, petrified. Everyone and everything had been taken away from me. By Jupiter. I would get my revenge.
"Well, good sir, I come from afar, searching the plains of Amaris, to find the thing I value above all others. "And what may that be?" Said the man, his voice alive with curiosity. "A treasure, a treasure made long ago, which I believe to be in this very land. "And what treasure, my good man?" His voice burning with even more curiosity. "Alas, it is more than my life's worth to tell you that, good to meet you sir"
