"As patriotism can lead to jingoism, and bloodship can lead to cronyism, so orc loyalty can lead to orcish war"-Mokrag the fallen
Orcs were dieing. Spirits entering leaving this life to see the old father. Brothers, sisters lost.
Raurna looked to the sky. Amongst the night sky clouds spirits at war glided. She drunkly held her short sword, and stood on the edge of an abandoned San'Ork cliff. "Blud rainz duwn frum ah-" a massive steel hand clasped her neck and she was tossed backwards into a hut. Ghazkull gripped his warhammer and approached her. "Da skah iz diz abowt ANODDAH rebeliohn?" She got up, still holding her gladius and said "Pryme tik ta tayke ovah Ghazkull. Fah skah zaykez id iz Mawkragz wil." Ghazkull had had enough of his power being questioned. "Lat wuz alweyz zo eegah to pleeze hem." Raurna stood up, appearing sober. "Unlyke lat, da dizrezpekful bebi bruddah."
Ghazkull lunged foward, his warhammer cutting through the air directly aimed at Raurnas head. She ducked, and slashed a deep cut at Ghaz's thigh. The hammer crashed into her back this time. Whilst on the ground, Raurnas sword cut both of Ghazkulls shins. He brought his hammer down at her rib cage, cracking several. "Mawkrag iz blynded by rage. Heh-" Raurna stabbed her gladius short sword up into Ghazkulls chest. He threw a back hand at her, sending her sprawling. Ghazkull stumbled back, before falling foward...dead. The battered Raurna stood up, struggling. She tossed her sword to the side and spat some blood. Nobody to hinder her. Nobody to hinder the blood talons will.
Durakai came running around the corner. "DA SKAH HAPPENED RAURN?!" He shouted. He stared at Ghazkulls body in shock. "Gazatz kom. Dey flat hem." She grabbed the sword on the ground and moved to Durakai slowly. Just as he turned, Raurna stabbed him in the stomach and kicked him to the floor. "Apologiez." She uttered, as she prepared the finishing blow. Suddenly a metal fist crashed into her head sending her flying across the sand. She looked up, an saw Ghazkull. His vains glowing purple. Raurna struggled to her knees. She could raise no higher. Ghazkull picked up her sword. "Bud...huw?" She asked. Ghazkull stepped closer "Mawkrag haz ben enlitened. Lat gave 'im wut heh wunted. Ah gabe 'im wut heh needed." "Du id." Raurna said. "DU ID." Ghazkull tossed the sword to the side. "Nub". Ghazkull helped Raurna to her feet. "Mi wud nub hab granted lat da zame." She said. "Dat iz why lat failed 'im." A horn screeched from the sky.
The horn of the blood talon rung. "Heh iz kom'n." Ghazkull said. Durakai clutched his wound "Whu?". Ghazkull stared down at him. He heard something coming at him from behind. "Uh fah skahz zayke." A black orc crashed into the back of Ghazkull, falling from the sky as the two hit the ground.
Kahrzen the betrayer looked up, and around startled. He wore only a loin cloth, and while his wounds from his last fatal encounter with Ghazkull had disapeared, he was even more boney than before. A flock of horned ravens flew from the clouds as a purple light shun. The spun into a cacoon. Suddenly, with a burst of purple mist, the shadow of death, Mokrag Braduk appeared hovering over the ground. His purple wings spread. His golden plate armor shining. His mace bloodied. Everything about him was enhanced. His muscle mass had increased ten fold. His height had increased aswell. This was the first time in years Ghazkull had laid eyes upon his brother in the flesh. Was he alive? "Pleaze Mawkrag!" Kahrzen pleaded. "Uwn Farol Kahrzen." Mokrag spoke in ancient Braduk. He flew through the air, his mace bursting Kahrzens skull into bits.
Mokrag descended to the ground. As he stepped holes were left in the ground from the shear weight of this legend. Ghazkull stood, a mix of fear and adrenaline took over. "Ug." he said. Mokrag swung his mace into Ghazkulls stomach, sending him flying into a hut as the whole home colapsed. He flew over and dragged his brother out. "Lat dizobeyed mi. Raurna shud nub hab ben flatted" Ghazkull snarled and sent a punch so hard that to anybody else it would have crushed their chest. Instead, his hand broke upon impact to Mokrags armored chest plate. Mokrag retaliated with a spin kick, sending Ghazkull sprawling. "Lat iz cheeftun. Akt liek it." Ghazkull got to his feet. "HEEL RAURNA IYF LAT NUB LIEK HER BEH'N FLAT." Mokrags mace disintegrated gracefully, as he cupped his hands and paced back and forth. "Mi immurtul powaz hab ben zpent. Mi haz da bodeh ob ah mortul nohw. Mi muzt walk diz relm tu da end ob tik." Ghazkull and Durakai both looked at him. "Kan lat beh flatted?" Ghaz asked. "Nub. Bud bynded bai kode mi kan nub goh tu wor." "Why nub?" Durakai said, standing up. "Oath. Tu da awld faddah." A purple ora appeared from Mokrags hands. It drifted all into different directions to all the surviving Braduks. No matter where they were, each Braduk members weapon of choice appeared in the hands. Golden, purple spikes, raven feathers.
Mokrag, the shadow of death walks amongst mortals once more. Savior, destructor, harbinger, it doesnt matter how you view him. The legendary blood talon flies.
