The Orcish Horde and its allies marched forward to meet an enemy force, when the enemy was confirmed to not show, a large audible groaning of annoyance and anger could be heard, though one Orc took it especially hard, Alibaba was his name, he was a tall fellow, yellow tusks, ram horns protruding from his head, and finally a great white beard growing from his green face, he was ancient, over 500 years old, and you could tell, he was sickly, and old, it was apparent to all that he wouldn’t remain in this world for long, this Orc preyed to Leyd, Jevex and Laklul for a glorious death in battle, a fate that he would not be granted.

 

 he remained there, were the battle was supposed to be held long after everyone else had left, a frown fixed on his face, the sickly man walked home in the cold and dark, his illness worsened to a terrible point by the time he returned to Orc lands, as he reached the gates Ruk after Ruk came to meet him, practically carrying him back to his home, he was happy that he would die knowing many people respected and liked him, he walked into his home and rested on his pelts and furs.

 

 Alibaba told his slave she may go free if she brought him Grar, she did and he kept his promise, an honorable Orc indeed, weak and dying his voice was hard to hear, Grar had to put his ears close to Alibaba’s mouth as he whispered many great memories, to him, he laughed then winced, clutching his chest. Alibaba pushed Grar away from himself then spoke to him with a loud firm voice.

 

“Zhah uff Puzzeh, kant lat peep mi am dyin heer?”

 

Grar chuckled and left, then Alibaba chuckled to himself and closed his eyes for the last time.

 

the next morning when Alibaba did not come out of his tent, all of the Ruks gathered, Grar and Tugg went into his tent, and carried the body from it, he was put into his fanciest set of armor and given his best sword for all the spirits to see, the Ruks went to work on making his death mask, Grar smiled with the final result, then slid it over the old Orc’s face, speaking to him as if he were still alive.

 

“Mi knuw lat can heer mi, Alibaba, lat am in da zpirid wurld nuw, da Rukz hab pik’d an Elk fuh latz flat mazk, it am becuz latz eazily  muuv’d thru latz lyfe, agh wib grayze tuu, lat am a Bub’hozh Uruk, Alibaba.”

Tugg went to the stone pillar and carved into it the old Orcs story, it was a long one, and thus it deserved all the space it took up, when he was finally done he smiled, happy that Alibaba lived a long and wholesome life. 

 

Finally a wooden coffin was built and 4 Ologs carried it into the desert he called home, they found a nice spot and buried him in his home which he loved so much.

Thurak'Yar, the Motsham of the Spirits, mumbles a prayer to Kor and Ghorza as he hears of the old Uruk's travel to the Ancestral Plane.
"Mae da Stargush'Stroh beh giftud wiff da hozh klompz hi gaeb uz."

Kwixzil would stop his attention on his gold upon hearing the news, and a sigh would come from his mouth, " Hi wuz a bub'hozh uruk, mey hi bi huppy en da zpirid wurld." He would not resume counting his gold and instead sit down and think deeply.

"Alibaba knocked mi on mi azz tu many tikz tu kount... A hozh uruk, may he nevur hab trouble findin big momozkaherz tu hunt wid da anzeztorz." The Gorkil wargoth pays his respects, lighting a fire for Alibaba'Ruk. Embers rise up into the sky, joining forces with the twinkling heavens.
