Words from the Blood

[DrunkPapaBear 1975]

 

The Blood acted strange, not clear, not precise.

 

The Path of the Targoth was always blurry, never easy for him to choose. Choices of moral, of honor, always putting his morals and honor after the wellbeing of his nation, of his people. Now that progress was coming their way, that the flames and ashes were going to soon replace water and wood, the young Haruspex had another choice to make.

He thought it would be a easy one this time. Join progress, join fire and metal to burn down this disgusting forest or save it to protect a spirit he did not care for.

Easy, yes.

The uruk sat down in front of the Blood Pit, staring at the past present and future. Trying to see clearly to find his Path. He gave a chuckle as an elf's body appeared at the surface of the pit, floating amongst all the blood and gore. The Witch Doctor in training closed his eyes, trying to summon some spirits to help him with his choice.

 

"Grizh tu flow, Grizh tu peep. Izi ahm un da Path, zhow izi wut tu du!

Lup'Dlimbok, firzt of de Haruzpex! Lup da Heartbeat of da uzg! Troqugrizh-Ur!"

 

The words the blood spoke to the burned orc were confused, different from before.

The Heartbeat was not amongst them, Troqugrizh was silent for once.

 

Borok growled in anger as he stood up and kicked into the blood pit, making it splash all over the walls of the little cavern. Rage, confusion, questions.

For long, the jungle outside of their home had been a problem : Hiding undead and other beasts in it, stopping them from becoming what they were meant to be, better than some beasts living in tents and wooden cities. What was he to do? choose a side and risk fighting friends and family or step aside and let his Path unfold in front of him?

 

The tall orc broke eye contact with the blood and starting going up the stairs. Back to the surface, to the sun, to the forest.

Smoke was coming up in the sky from a previous fire spitter attack on the city, a sign maybe.

A sign to join flames and ashes or be consumed by it. 

 

He knew what he had to do now, he knew his Path.
