A Sacrifice for Votar

 

Deep within the isle of Ceru, in the Mohk'Ilzgul library, sat a young fe-orc by the name of Yel, whom was sent to said library under the guidance of Shagarath, her goal to find a Spirit, and to do such a task to please said Spirit, after two days of consideration and reading, Yel finally decided to create a hunt for Votar, but where would this Sacrifice be sent? Votar had not a shrine within the lands of the Mohk'Ilzgul..something Yel would soon fix. She spent the next two days gathering the necessary supplies for a shrine to Votar, and after she had erected such a shrine, delay the hunt she did not. She immediately grasped the base of her waraxe, threw her sack over her shoulder, and set out towards the north.

 

She simply decided to wander until she found suitable hunting grounds, after half a week, she had reached a small nestle of trees and setup her brown tent. She had placed herself in the open quite on purpose, simply not afraid if a beast found her and attacked as it was precisely what she needed, she had made a small hearth for herself, and sat herself beside it, tearing away at the rotten bread she had brought with her, her ear gave a twitch upon the snap of a branch in the bushes to her left, her free hand lowered to the side of the log she had sat upon and grasped the leather-wrapped hilt of her war-axe, her eyes narrowing in the dark as she attempted to find the source, after a few moments another snap was heard to her far right, she was likely being surrounded by a small pack of wolves. 

 

Yel rose from her seated position, dropping the rotten bread upon the ground as she glanced from left to right, her now free left hand having grabbed her spare waraxe, now dual-wielding, after several moments of silence, a mangy, black wolf pounced from the bush to her left, and another from the right. Having barely any time to react, Yel swung her right hand in a side-ways arc towards the beast on the right's open jaw, it made contact and a horrific howl of pain emanated from the beast as it was sent flying to the side, a large chunk being taken out of it's jaw, having temporarily forgotten about the beast on her left, it's open maw made contact with her left arm and a small chunk was taken out, Yel let out a shout of pain before swinging her right ax over her head, throwing it downwards as the beast fell, an overhead arch towards it's spinal region, a loud 'Crack' was heard as ax met with bone, a whimper being heard from the beast as it was downed, Yel yanked the ax from it's back and left it to bleed out. Blood now quickly leaving her left injured arm, the beast upon the right of whom's maw was now bleeding and horrifically dismembered had not given up so easily, Yel and the blackened fur-beast began to move in a slow circle around the fire, the beast she had just left to bleed out became motionless as life left it's body, Yel felt her consciousness gradually begin to fade the more she moved and the more blood that left her arm, which began to pale. The beast took this moment of confusion to pounce upon Yel, and she yelled out as she tumbled back with the beast atop her, she had dropped her war-ax's to grip the neck of the beast, holding it back just barely as it snapped it's jaw at her, she tightened her grip as the beast began to become choked, before throwing it off of her to the side, it gave a pained whimper as it was removed from her visage, she gripped the nearest war-ax she could with her right hand and brought it down in an arc towards the beast's neck, another loud 'crack' being heard as the ax and bone met, she placed her foot on it's body and yanked the ax from it's neck, but quickly stumbled back as she lost more blood.

 

Yel, blood now pouring from the numerous wounds she'd sustained from the fight, several cuts and scratched scattering her body, ripped a large chunk of her large loincloth off, and quickly wrapped her left arm to ensure she didn't bleed out, with a very pained grunt she tightened the makeshift bandage, and lay in the snowy grass, staring at the night sky, her eyes heavy had proceeded to close upon themselves, consciousness fading from her.

 

Yel awoke the next morning, somehow still alive, as she had managed to stop the bleeding, glanced about the forest with a dazed gaze, slowly raising herself, she shook the snow from herself. Crows had begun to feast on the two corpses of the wolves, and she stomped to scare them off. She, after reinforcing her now most definitely infected wounds bandage, went about and removed her tent, placing the pieces back within her bag, she glanced about and looked at the wolves, deciding to only take one..the beast that had injured her. She heaved the rather light wolf over her shoulder, with a low grumble of annoyance, and set off with a heavy limp. 

 

Upon reaching the Mohk'Ilzgul, she moved towards the erected shrine she had made some time ago, and threw the wolf down upon the ground, collapsing onto her knees, she removed her makeshift stone dagger and stared at the shrine. Taking in a deep breath as she gripped the dagger with both hands, and raised it above her head, eyes upon the beast. "Mi hunted diz, in dah naem ub Votar!"  Afterwards, she brought the dagger down in an arc and stabbed the beast, bringing it down as it entered the beasts chest, she yanked it to the side to allow the blood to flow clean, as it stained the white ground, she then yanked the dagger out, dropping the dagger next to her, she shoved her hand inside the beast and dug through the many organs, before grasping it's lifeless heart and yanking it out, she raised the soaking heart above her head and let the beasts blood bath her as she breathed calmly, muttering small worships to Votar as the blood soaked her. After awhile, and with heavy, labored breaths muttered a small sentence. "Iht ib duhn..." She'd state, barely managing to stabilize herself as she arose and descended the mountain.
