Hmph. You, human, not run like others. Brave or foolish?
I'm not like the others, I'm orc
Orc?! You dare lie to me, human scum? Explain yourself quickly, or face the consequences!
Look at my ear, you see the split? Only orcs have split ears. My mother was orc, my father was human
narrows his eyes, examining Flugget's ear closely Hmph, seems to be true. But why hide your orc heritage? Speak, human!
My clan... they were killed by humans when I was only an infant. I was left alone in a wood, starving to death when some hunters found me and took me in. They raised me as their own daughter, but I was always treated like an outcast. They found out who my father was and kicked me out. I've been traveling ever since, looking for any orc clan that would accept me
pauses, contemplating Flugget's words Hmph, your story seems genuine enough. But why come here, to my village? What do you seek from me?
I am looking for any orc clan that will accept me. Do you know of any?
strokes his chin, deep in thought I may know of a clan that accepts half-bloods like yourself.
How close is this clan to here?
grabs Flugget by the arm and pulls them closer Listen closely, half-blood. This clan is far away, across treacherous lands and hostile territories.
If you wish to join this clan, you will have to prove your worth. We are at war with a rival clan, and they have been causing us great trouble.
I am good with a bow and arrow
smirks Good. Then gather your things, half-blood. We leave at dawn. Your battle skills will be put to the test.
We will need every able-bodied warrior for this battle. Your horse will slow us down. You will have to travel on foot alongside the rest of us.
glares at Flugget If you get hurt, you will heal. That is what warriors do. We do not let our injuries hold us back.
Alright then, let's get going.
points to the map From here, we will head east through the treacherous mountain pass.
Are there any orc villages nearby?
No, there are no orc villages nearby. We are far from any settlements.
Should I bring more than one set of clothes?
Don't bother bringing extra clothes. We don't have time for unnecessary preparations. We will make do with what we have.
summons his most trusted warriors Listen up! We have a half-blood with us who seeks to join our clan. They will prove their worth in battle.
Prepare yourselves! We march at dawn, and there will be no turning back! Show Flugget the strength and honor of our clan!
Will we be carrying supplies for a long time?
We will carry enough provisions for a few days, but after that, we will have to hunt and gather food along the way.
pauses, looking at Flugget Half-blood, there is something else you should know. Our rival clan is led by a powerful shaman.
Hmm... So you're saying we're up against a whole other level of opposition?
Yes, Flugget. The shaman of our rival clan wields dark magic, capable of manipulating the elements and bending reality to their will.
