A Return to Power

It was a cool, calm night in San'Raakh. The smell of overly cooked meats and cactus green wafted from the marketplace. A few Orcs who had just gotten back from a hunt sat around the firepit and laughed in that uproarious way only extremely drunk people can.

 

Vagud'Gorkil sat on top of the mountain behind the Citadel, looking down at the dimly lit city with a tiny glimmer in his eye. He tended to come up here once he was done with tending to his garden, when he wasn't just quite ready to return the chaotic and stressful life he had tried so hard to grow accustomed to, but just couldn't. But from here, with his plants and his vista, he could spend hours admiring the city that he had helped to build with his own two hands. He laid himself down on the cool baked clay of the mountain and stared up at the stars, in an almost trancelike state of stillness.

 

"Ug, bruddah." A low, gruff voice said, snapping Vagud out of his nap. The red Gorkil's shot up, his muscles tensing up in preparation for a fight. He shot his head around, looking for the source of the intrusion, before finally noticing a large green Uruk scaling the side of the mountain. Vagud relaxed and let out a small sigh.

 

"Ah, throm'ka, Othmgakh." He said and bowed his head to his Wargoth. Othmgakh smiled back as he heaved himself over the ledge, putting his head right by Vagud's feet. The adrenaline running through Vagud's veins was beginning to die down, but still left him on edge. "How did you know I was here?"

 

Othmgakh let out a small, raspy laugh. “Lucky guess.” He said nonchalantly as he sat down right next to Vagud. “I came here, though, to ask you something very important?”

 

“Would you like to resume being Wargoth of Gorkil?”

 

Vagud stared at Othmgakh for a few several seconds, his mind racing. He turned his head and glanced back at his garden that laid down the hill from where they were, and then back to his Wargoth. He nodded.

 

For the second time in his life, Vagud has claimed the title of Wargoth of Gorkil.

Eath'Lur is yet to hear or see the news, but he knows for sure that Vagud is a good orc.
