The Death of Apek'Gorkil
. . .
. . .
As a young orc, Apek was taught hardship. He was taught to fight and fend for himself. He always strived to be better, to do better, and to become stronger.
He would tend to watch the sun as it set; it would always make him think of those he knew who had fallen and wonder when he would meet the same fate.
In his younger years, Apek had been an excellent fighter, rising in strength and strategy. The young uruk had claimed the position of Targoth.
Apek would continue on to lead as the general of the Iron Horde in the battle of Westmark, ultimately winning the battle as the uruks general.
. . .
As the Great Aevos Coaliton War ended, the uruk's position as Targoth also came to an end, with the uruk out of work, his home paying reparations, and in poverty.
He would go on to travel around Aevos, killing, robbing, and defeating many people, including beings and monsters.
. . .
Apek'Gorkil's death would occur during a visit to Numendil, a great templar he had encountered many times before in the land of Minitz, who caught his eye when they both locked eyes.
Apek had fought the man before, but nothing had come of it in the past. The fights always ended in a stalemate.
Apek would end up dueling the great templar. He fought valiantly, but so did the templar. In the end, Apek was on his knees.
The next moments, occurring in a flash, the templar would thrust an Azhl blade through the uruks helmet, slitting his face.
It would all happen so fast—a guttural, raw scream that tore from his throat and resonated
with pure agony would be the end of Apek.
