Revenge V1.4

I had been following the slavers for several days when I finally spotted one orc alone. I scouted all around him, but he seemed to be cut off from the band. I don’t know how he couldn’t pick up their trail, they left death and destruction everywhere. Several of my families’ bodies had been left half eaten on spits. For the first time in my life I understand what the world was really about and now I know what hate really is. I will never show any orc mercy, ever.

This lone orc looked dazed and hurt. It was panting, and its eyes were almost bulging out. I realized that in normal circumstances I could never take on an orc one on one. But I had hate in my heart and luck on my side. I snuck up on the back side of the orc. I could smell it and I had to choke down the bile that filled my gullet. I had my dagger readied in my hand. I saw an exposed spot on its back and I slid my dagger in as deep as it would go. The monster screamed and turned around with such unexpected force that I nearly froze with fear. It pulled out a giant rusty sword so fast I didn’t see the swipe coming. Luckily the orc was so weak and confused that it barely hurt me, but enough to know that if I didn’t get moving my life was forfeit. I jumped back a few feet and took out my atharak and began to twirl in a dizzying display. The stupid beast seemed to be in a trance for a moment that is when I attacked. I spun once and hit him around the neck and the small stones bashed it in the face, I pulled down hard and the orc began to tumble down. I pulled my atharak back and attacked again this time at the ankles. This time I pulled real hard and the orc crashed face first into the hard ground. I jumped on its back, jerked the dagger out of its back and buried it deep into its thick skull. The orc didn’t move again, but it made a lot of noise during the fight. I saw a couple healthy orcs heading my way. I knew my revenge was over and I took flight. I ran and I ran until I thought my chest would explode. I am not sure what happened but I was running and the world went black, the next thing I know I am in a bag and I hear odd chattering. I thought it was orc slavers, but when I peaked out of the bag all I saw was a bunch of gnomes. I thought to myself, do gnomes eat halfling, and then I passed out again.
