| Gall the Raider - By Zilor |
Twas a dark cold night, and an Orc was sleeping in some bushes,
covered merely by his clothes...
"It is cold.. To cold for Gall.. Me need to find better place."
Gall stated to him self.
Gall cautiously left the bushes and wandered deeper into the
thick woods. For a long time Gall has been in these woods,
occasionally killing passer bys for food and clothes and sharp
things to make weapons of.
After quite some time in the woods. Gall came upon a field, and
to his Joy, a tent was placed on the edge of the field not far
from himself, a fire burned bright and a man sat next to it,
working on something.. But Gall smelled more then one man.. More
must have been in the tent.
"Gall crush and steal from stupid men." Gall whispered to him
self.
Gall was taught extremely well for an Orc, and new many ways to
sneak up on a prey un-noticed, not like the stupider Orc, who
yell and show them selves, and luckily Gall had a fine axe he
used for more, difficult occasions.
As Gall closed on the tent, he saw that two other men were
inside the tent, and seemed to be quite large. Gall was
considering not fighting them, but his Orc instinct over rid his
common sense and he preceded any way.
Gall burst from the woods to the camp and crashed through the
tent slowing the other two men. The man sitting by the fire
stood and unsheathed his sword.
Gall screamed "Die Human, You things are mine!"
The man at the fire prepared to block an attack, but Gall spun
to the left and cut the man in two with a single gash through
his torso.
The men from the tent broke free and Gall was worried for they
both had very fine armor and very fine swords. Gall thought that
they must have had been elite troops.. But this did not worry
Gall for he was no normal Orc.
Gall yelled at the men "Now you die like you friend!"
The two men charged at Gall, they struck at him simultaneously
and Gall was able to evade the first blade, but the second dug
deep into his left arm. Gall countered and beheaded the man who
hit him.
The last man struck at Gall and Gashed him across the stomach,
but not deep enough to kill him. Gall jumped back a few paces
and the man readied himself and charged head long to Gall.
Gall raised his axe over his head, and with incredible strength
through it at the charging man, The axe hit its target and split
the mans skull and chest into two halves. Gall roared in victory
and then sat next to the fire to rest..
"Stupid humans not think Gall smart as them, think me charge
like stupid Orc.." He said to the fire.
"I not stupid Orc! I not!" He exclaimed at the fire..
The fire must have agreed, for Gall seemed quite pleased after
he had spoke.
After a while Gall told himself "Well, must see what good things
i got."
Gall looked over the two well armed looking warriors, but after
looking Gall noticed the armor was purely inferior to Orc
armor.. It was weak and should not be used for combat, was more
for stupid human ceremonies.
Gall examined the first man he slayed and found a pouch which
had several good things for Gall, for one he had a few healing
potions and bandages covered in ointment rapped in leaves. Gall
drank a potion and applied a few of the bandages to him self,
quite pleased he proceeded to tear open the tent further to see
what was inside.
"Gall... so happy.." He said to himself as he stare at a
marvelously massive axe that must have had been crafted by the
best Orcish smiths in the world.
Gall tossed his old axe back at one of the fallen warriors and
lifts the finely crafted axe, it was like nothing Gall had ever
seen...
Gall was so pleased with the axe, that the other things he found
such as blankets and even a spare tent seemed hardly important,
this axe will catch him many a stupid human.. and many more good
things.
Gall made a sack out of the destroyed tent and put all his nice
new things and headed back into the woods to rest and examine
his fine axe and all the way singing.
"Ha Ha, killed me a Man
Thought he was smart
and now he be damned.
I killed him good with a heave and a ho
and one mighty axe throw."
Perhaps a human might not find that song good, but to an Orc..
it was a masterpiece.. So Gall made off with more then he ever
thought he would get, off any human.. Gall the Raider was born. |
