A Shadow Of His Former Self

[the1bow 13]

((speech in italic is in Braduk slang, for the sake of reading))

 

Ghazkull had sent out goblins, but Gargant had not returned. He had sailed a years prior to find a chain of islands the Kenuk Braduks had sailed to after the undead raid in Aegis. Gargants goal was to find Maia, his maelifhn (lifemate) back in Kenuk. Rumours were thrown around that an orc baring blue pale skin walked amongst the islands the Kenukians set sail for. By ancient Braduk law, Gargant had to find her. By his own choice, he had to find her. 

 

A small boat hit the shore during the night between Melunz fort and the Braduk fort. Goblin watchmen saw it and alerted Ghazkull and his clanboss Durakai. The two were ready if it was an attack. But it was no infiltration. The worn out orc, known as Gargant rose from the boat, carrying a body. A female body. Covered in rags but it was obvious it had been torn, scratched a bitten. It was no orc at that point. A undead shadow of its former self, killed in the name of mercy. "Gargant, what has happened?" He said nothing. A look of anger, yet more of sadness hung on his face.

 

 

 

"Gargant am alyve Ghazkull" Durakai said. "A shadoh ob hiz formah zelf." Gargant walked into the fort, clutching the body of his mate.
