The Last Farewell ((To Higgsy))

[Sultan 3953]

Mogroka old as he was, he still felt the spirits stirr as a brother was ready to be taken away from this realm and into the Hall of Krug, he wore his robes grabbed his staff and slowly left his hut, he was meet with many orcs outside awaiting him for the ceremony. Many of the veterans and old warriors and shamans of the Uzg as well the young ones where there. He looked over towards to large Orcs one of them was Pok as he walked over he looked down at the stretcher that Pok and the Ghazkull were carrying he looked down upon the Orc that layed on it Morag' Braduk in full ceriomany armor his weapon laid in his hands onto his chest his eyes were closed and his face was wet with cactus oil.

Mogroka stepped back and nodded towards Pok as he commanded them to follow him into the desert as they walked drums were played and horns were sounded and chants where song.

Reaching there distention Mogroka stops in front of gigantic pyre wood over wood was stacked it seems as if it touched the sky. He turned and looked back at his brothers no Orc shed a tear no one was sad or weepet, they all showed no emotion for them this was the way of the Orc, there brother Morag’Braduk was on his way to the halls of Krug were he shall be everlasting, feasting, hunting and fighting beside the old father.

Mogroka gestured for one of his apprentice that was carrying a large iron made bowel to come forward he took the bowel from him and placed it onto a flat stone as he took out his cerminonal dagger and slit the palm of his hand and let his blood flow into it, he then steped back extending his dagger for the other Orcs one by one the Orcs did the same when the last orc was done the bowel was now full. He gestured for Pok and Ghazkull that where carrying Morag to come forward and lay him down they did as told as Mogroka dipped his hand into the blood filled bowl and took it out he started to paint Morag face with the blood of his brother as he chanted in a low mumble.

He then gestured for Pok and the other to start to make there way up the pyre to place Morag body, they did a slow ascension to the top as the laid him there and came down.

Mogroka turned and began to address the Orcs. ‘’Latz brudder az pazzed agh em nuw un iz waeh tu bi wed da oldfaddah, nutting iz moah gloriaz nutting iz bettah dan iz fate em mat honerbley wed zult en ash ‘and agh wed pride agh poweh!’’ he looks back at the pyre as he grabs a hold of a torch and lights it ‘’Gid latz Tourchz agh uz elp oah brudderh un iz journey!’’ The orcs step forward grabbing torches as they light them Ghazkull steps forward the Orcs behind him as he held the torch, at equal height to his head. He approached the body of his older brother and he said with a voice of sadness "Ura sha ztehz throg te valez fo defth naz I sha fer nufng." It was Braduk slang. Coined by Mokrag. It was on the flag in black lining the bottom. It translated to "I shall walk through the valley of death, and I shall fear nothing." The torch contacted the wood, and the it began to slowly burn, the rest of the Orcs threw their torches on the pyre as it lit a flame, they stepped back.

 

Mogroka leans on his staff shortly before sitting down and crossing his legs, the orcs do the same as if they are one they began to chant, as they look at the fire become bigger and bigger.

Krug of war and steel,
Never let me kneel
In front of foe or friend
I'll battle to the end.
Elven tribes, forests dark, will rise their bows
Arrows shadows cast on earth and kill our rows
But dead we will be not.
Dwarf axe will hit our shield, break our will
And many friend and brother they will kill.
But dead they will be not.
Human mind and cunning treachery will yell
To the sky above we give our heart and will.
But dead we will be not.

For now and ever, evermore
We are, we will and be forever
One heart, one soul, one beat,
We are the Orc.

Death pales in our name
For we feed it's fame
It bows it's head when the elder speak
Of lives we lost when we were weak
And lives we lived we live again, without fear
And all the Orc, they hear
And live once more through tales
And never die, new life they gain, our heroes.
Eternal life, gained in words by deeds
Eternal life, within our minds.
Eternal life, within the tales, that will never end,
As long as one heart still beats and it is Orc.

We fear not death, for we are immortal.
We fear not battle, for it brings salvation.
We fear no clan, race or nation.
We are the Ork and our name means death,
to all that's mortal.

Thore sat quietly at the back of the crowd of the orcs listening to Mogroka and the other orcs speak.

Gooms sits and crosses his legs along with the other orcs. He closes his eyes and chants more loudly than he would bother to, normally.

Pok watches the fire solemnly, he fights to control his emotions. For the past few years, him and Mokrag had been clashing in a small clan war. However, the respect he had for his former brother had not faded at all. As the fire roared and sparks slowly reached up to the heavens, Pok began to chant, leading a war cry of the Ugluk Clan. He quiets down after a while and looks down, tossing a small blue flag into the fire, on it is a small symbol, the head of a rhino.

 

[[i have not yet made a post concerning Higgsyy. Higgsyy was like a brother to me In - Character and one of my personal favorite members of our community. His death made me sincerely sad and I was hesitant to post something at first because I was worried I wouldn't say the right thing. However, I now feel the time is right to say something and I have prepared myself to do so. He was a player that I could talk to and worked with often on a lot of projects involving the Orcs. He was easily one of the most important players in the Orcish Community as of late. I know that right now Adam is in a better place and finally at peace. Rest in Peace Adam, you'll be missed.]]
