[QUOTE="seasong, post: 608765, member: 5137"] Oh, what the heck. I'll post the teaser today... [color=orange][b]Olgah's Tale[/b][/color] Spring 20 Years Ago Ugreht was a minor woman of the Bunahken tribe, clever but lazy, and too often she gambled until she lost. She was not well respected, especially this year. She had promised a year of service to Agahken if she lost, and she had lost. Agahken was not cruel nor kind for an orc, but he wrung as much out of the service as he could. She had escaped much of what he might have asked by seducing him... and now she was pushing his baby out of her belly, too clever for her own good. Ugreht grunted once, as a flash of pain shot caught her by surprise, but was otherwise silent through the ordeal. The orcwife who watched over her grunted in return - Ugreht might be lazy in life and weak in gambling, but she was stronger than many mothers during birthing, and the orcwife approved. Then, suddenly, the child was out. The orcwife and mother looked at the child, redfaced but breathing, and Ugreht's motherly instincts failed to kick in. "Take it away. I would not look upon its father's face." Such things were sometimes known to happen, when a mother had a child she did not wish, and the bond failed to manifest. It was unfortunate, but... the orcwife took the child out of the tent, and made her way up mountain. Laying it between chilly rocks, she turned and left. The baby was given no name, for none was needed. Until their fifth year, a baby is only a potential orc. Still, it did not cry. It continued to breathe with strong lungs, and watched the pre-morning sky start to pale. [/QUOTE]
