My cot was quite literally overturned as the shouting began.</p><p></p><p><em>"On your FEET soldier today is the day you find forgiveness dies!"</em> he barked as I tried to right myself having been tossed face first on the floor.</p><p></p><p>It was pouring that day, I remember it vividly as he slapped a pack of gear and provision on my back and nearly booted me out the door. The rain drops were heavy and large almost piercing to someone who had, no more than ten minutes ago, just awoken. Everything was hazy, weather that be from the rain or just being roused so quickly I can't quiet recall. </p><p></p><p><em>"Five miles boy, and it starts at the foot of this stair!"</em> he shouted as I could feet the point of a sword in the small of my back reminding me again there wasn't much debate in that matter.</p><p></p><p>The first mile wasn't so bad, but the next 3 would remind me that this was no joke. My legs started to burn and each breath slowly started from my feet it seemed and took eons to reach my mouth with an exhale. I was by this point, completely waterlogged, and it felt as if I'd never by dry again.</p><p></p><p><em>"Leaders aren't born soldier... they're made from blood, sweat and tears, and I plan to make you experience that all EVERY day until you learn!"</em> he shouted again. Only some of his incessant ramblings were making it through to coherent thought by mile four. </p><p></p><p>I couldn't help remembering back to that day, and more importantly the end of the five mile run. How it felt to feel the burn and the anguish after a grueling march through pouring rain. What I wouldn't give to feel ANYTHING at this moment as my father lay lifeless in my arms. The orcs had taken from him what I honored and cherished most, the man that had made me the leader I am today, my own flesh and blood, my own father.</p><p></p><p>It was merely three weeks ago that I had gotten word from the carrier that my father had been taken captive. I rode hard and fast over one hundred miles of plains and forest covered ground to return to my home town of Harnsfort. I didn't even give myself a rest the night I arrived, I talked to the man, Jonis, my uncle who had sent me word of this travesty and sent out into the foothills of that same mountain range I was made to run ten years ago in search of my father. I rued now taking the small position of garrison Sargent in what seemed to be the farthest place in the world from my home town. Karenth was the towns name, and I had made a good name for myself there in the year I had been given a station there.</p><p></p><p>Orcs aren't very well known for covering their tracks, and it was not that hard once ascending into the foothills where they had been migrating to and from. I picked up on one of the main traffic areas maybe 6 miles outside my home town and began to follow it to it's destination. It was a good days walk before I came to a bluff overlooking a formidable looking orc encampment. They had guards stationed but again, orcs aren't well known for their smarts either, luckily for me.</p><p></p><p>I decided to make camp this night off a side path where tracks were scarce and unfurled my bedroll and blanket as a pillow for the night. I wish I could have told you I slept well this night knowing I would need the extra energy for the morning, but alas this was not the case. All I could think about was what my father must be enduring in a camp full of savages. Eventually I had to forcibly put the images out of my mind and closed my eyes to sleep.</p><p></p><p>Morning came all too quickly for me as I sighed softly and packed my belongings. I left most of what wasn't absolutely necessary at camp and tucked it away in some thick brush before double-checking to make sure I had what I needed. My uncle had given me a couple of healing potions for safety and I made sure to check my pouch to make sure I still had them one last time fore I made my way to the lowering path into the encampment.</p><p></p><p>It wasn't hard to see where they were hiding my father I got closer, the fool orcs hadn't even constructed a wall for the gods sakes. They had him in a wooden parapet, and shoddily made if I do say so myself. It didn't take me long to dispatch the one and only guard at the pass mouth into the camp, more than likely his sleeping form made it easy to slit his throat with no more than a gurgle to alarm the others. I snuck, well I snuck as well as someone could in dwarvish made scale, to my fathers location and I soon found out what a veteran captain had failed to escape his piece mailed cell.</p><p></p><p>I bashed the old rusty lock over the 'door' to the pit and moved quickly to my father side. He was lying face first in the damp dirt from mornings due. He grunted as I enter, and more than likely thought it was time for his morning beating as I moved to turn him over. To my horror I looked upon the broken mans face, and nearly wretched as I noticed an old stuffed rag where his right eye used to be. How could anyone treat someone this way, I wondered, as I did my best to make him more comfortable.</p><p></p><p>He knew as well as I there was no escape for him here, as he took his hand and buried it into my chest, and I clutched at it for all that I was worth as I watched the life drain from his eye, from his skin, and his body as he went limp in my arms. I said nothing, I felt nothing. I wanted to scream and yet my mouth would not work. I wanted to kill them all, yet I couldn't lift my hand to unsheathe my sword, all I could do was take the bone carved amulet from my father dead hand and place it about my neck. I stood and hefted his body over my shoulder and quickly dashed out of the encampment and back to town.</p><p></p><p>The next day we burned his body in honor of his service to his home and the men that served with him. A call to arms was issued for the orcs in their encampment after I had divulged where it lay, yet I was not to go with his men to slaughter them all. I was a liability to them now, and I understood why. My emotions would only get in the way, so once cooled I scooped some of my father ashes from the fire and placed them into a vial and mounted my horse with my gear and rode off, maybe a new start will give me a new direction to follow when I've lost my moral compass who was my father.[/sblock]</p></blockquote><p></p>

All I could think about was what my father must be enduring in a camp full of savages. Eventually I had to forcibly put the images out of my mind and closed my eyes to sleep. Morning came all too quickly for me as I sighed softly and packed my belongings. I left most of what wasn't absolutely necessary at camp and tucked it away in some thick brush before double-checking to make sure I had what I needed. My uncle had given me a couple of healing potions for safety and I made sure to check my pouch to make sure I still had them one last time fore I made my way to the lowering path into the encampment. It wasn't hard to see where they were hiding my father I got closer, the fool orcs hadn't even constructed a wall for the gods sakes. They had him in a wooden parapet, and shoddily made if I do say so myself. It didn't take me long to dispatch the one and only guard at the pass mouth into the camp, more than likely his sleeping form made it easy to slit his throat with no more than a gurgle to alarm the others. I snuck, well I snuck as well as someone could in dwarvish made scale, to my fathers location and I soon found out what a veteran captain had failed to escape his piece mailed cell. I bashed the old rusty lock over the 'door' to the pit and moved quickly to my father side. He was lying face first in the damp dirt from mornings due. He grunted as I enter, and more than likely thought it was time for his morning beating as I moved to turn him over. To my horror I looked upon the broken mans face, and nearly wretched as I noticed an old stuffed rag where his right eye used to be. How could anyone treat someone this way, I wondered, as I did my best to make him more comfortable. He knew as well as I there was no escape for him here, as he took his hand and buried it into my chest, and I clutched at it for all that I was worth as I watched the life drain from his eye, from his skin, and his body as he went limp in my arms. I said nothing, I felt nothing. I wanted to scream and yet my mouth would not work. I wanted to kill them all, yet I couldn't lift my hand to unsheathe my sword, all I could do was take the bone carved amulet from my father dead hand and place it about my neck. I stood and hefted his body over my shoulder and quickly dashed out of the encampment and back to town. The next day we burned his body in honor of his service to his home and the men that served with him. A call to arms was issued for the orcs in their encampment after I had divulged where it lay, yet I was not to go with his men to slaughter them all. I was a liability to them now, and I understood why. My emotions would only get in the way, so once cooled I scooped some of my father ashes from the fire and placed them into a vial and mounted my horse with my gear and rode off, maybe a new start will give me a new direction to follow when I've lost my moral compass who was my father.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
