I had thought Torrelsav would be mad when I mentioned my relationship with Gilgar, but instead he laughed and said, "Be good to her".
That instead made me confused, 'in what sense?'...
Now today, we are all sitting here waiting for news from our scouts. it would have been normal if Gilgar wasn't glaring at me right now and Torrelsav looking aloof for some reason.
Largash on the other hand could be said to be the only one that was normal, even Raal would look between me and Gilgar, then turn to Torrelsav before shaking his head with a laugh.
Lucky for me, the scout had returned...
"..." everyone stared silently as the scout leader came forward with a Salute.
"The Dregu clan went back on the agreement and managed to burn down the Shammob clans food reserve, They're have confronted each other at the boundary and might break out fighting any minute."
Torrelsav laughed lightly, "the Goddess must be helping us, now they will need our help even more"
Indeed, even I myself, I couldn't help but agree with him. But the scout looked like he had more to say, so I nodded my head, "the two Chief moved to the battlefield as well and I think this would be the final fight".
I didn't like that point at all, 'That goes against brother's plans'.
"That doesn't sound like a good thing" Gilgar muttered with a little bit of hesitation and Largash looked at Moz.
Raal then said, "What do we do?"
I began to think about the whole situation, 'What would brother do?'. Then I remembered something Brother once said to me when I asked him about this kind of thing.
_____________Flash back.
"eh? what do I do when my plan doesn't work?" Torug's voice came as he sat casually by the black moon lake, "I'll make another plan"
"What if that one fails and you have no time to make another?"I asked curiously as it had always been on my mind.
Torug laughed lightly as he picked up a loose rock, "If I can't make another, I'll make a mess for everyone..." with the last sentence, he crushed the rock with a grin.
____________________Flash back ends.
"make a mess for everyone..."I muttered softly but everyone else seemed to have heard me.
"Do you have a plan?"Moz couldn't help asking, somewhat surprised.
Everyone sitting here, looked at me curiously and I couldn't help myself from wondering 'is this how Brother always felt?'.
But I quickly got my mind off such thoughts and looked at Torrelsav, "Are you afraid?".
"Hmph, if you are not afraid why would I be?"He says, making me grin but in my heart I thought silently 'I am very afraid...'
I looked at the scout and ordered, "Gather the riders, we'll move first...the others will escort the goods while following behind... Largash, can you watch Bhok?".
Immediately, everyone got busy but Gilgar stayed back...
"What?" I asked.
"I'm coming" She said.
"No"
"Yes!" she argued.
"No!"
"Yes" She countered again, so I then said...
"Yes!"
"No!" she shouts but soon thought of something before shouting"Yes?!".
"Yes but stay with your father" I say.
"Why does she have to stay with me?" Torrelsav asked in confusion.
as I came up with an excuse, I ran before shouting from afar, "Because she's not my responsibility yet!!".
"What?" Torrelsav exclaims while Raal says"Shameless", only to be smacked at the back of his head.
At this time, Gilgar finally recovered from her shock, "What?!!, I'll have you know that, I'm a powerful Shaman".
"..."
__________________
It took us close to forty minutes to get to the would be battle field. Both sides had their warriors on their portion of the battlefield glaring at each other, taunts flew left and right but no one moved.
The Chiefs on both ends remained motionless, the Shammobs Chief was a buff orc with somewhat grey beards that allowed you understand just how old he was, a blood red banner hanged behind him with a claw mark drawn across it's center.
On the other side, the Dregu clan Chief was rather young, he had an ambitious expression but you can tell he lacked experience, a brown necklace with a skull hanged on his neck and arm, a metal arm guard on his left and a war hammer across his shoulder as he stood in front of his army.
Looking at their numbers, my heart began to beat wildly as I subconciously traced my finger along the scar on my neck.
I stood in front of Torug as we watched a magic beast in front of us, it looked like a wolf but wasn't one, bone spurs could be seen protruding out it's spine, this made it look like rocks.
Cold calculating eyes surveyed it's surrounding.
"Oh? looks like this one evolved into a fierce beast instead" Torug suddenly said with a laugh.
It felt really strong...
"Looks like you'll be fighting this one alone Brother" Torug continued while looking for a good place to lie down.
"What?!!" I exclaimed and the beast heard me, it went into battle stance.
"Are you afraid Brother?"
"Never" I replied defensively.
"..." Torug simply sighs and says with a serious expression, "It's okay to be afraid Urim, what matters is that you know how to use that fear".
"Your ability to fight that fear is what makes us warriors..."
"..." I stared at the fierce beast in front of me.
"Do you understand?" He asks.
____Flashback end___
"Yes Brother" I mutter silently as I made up my mind to go on with my idea.

Back at the 'Crypt'
Torug's POV,
A weird silence hanged in the air as I didn't know how to respond.
"Ah, looks like you and your brothers still haven't unlocked it yet..." The Elderly Orc says, leaving me confused, he laughed lightly while pointing at the side of his head.
"Your memories"
"..."
"Then how did you find this place? Ugarth, Third circle too" He asked with his voice turning hoarse at the end, probably due to talking to fast.
Unconsciously I rushed to his side and held his hand, I opened his stats and couldn't help getting shocked.
[Name: Ushamph White Bone]
Race: Bone shaman(Orc)
Level: Stage of metamorphosis (5th circle of evolution){Declined}
Power Rating:???
Relationship: White Bone Chief, Father of Uloth, Guardian of the God seed, Brother of...]
[Target's spirituality is fading away]
"How do I save him?!!"I enquired of the system out loud, shocking Ushamph.
He frowned and asked, "Is there someone else with you?"
"No!... Wait" For the very first time since I came to this world, I completely lost myself and felt useless.
Immediately a powerful force was released from the now serious old man as it spread out in a circular motion. Somehow it skipped me and spread till it got to the treeline, only then did he relax and laughed, though it looked like he was laughing at himself rather than the situation.
"Silly Ugarth, I know my situation more than anyone" he blindly stretched out his hand to touch my face.
At this time the system remained silent, obviously that meant it couldn't help.
"Hooo?!!! you are not bald like your father, I guess that my daughter's blood was stronger"seemingly surprised he says jovially, but the more he acted like this, the more painful the scene felt.
"Ugarth, I was lucky you came this time" He continues while releasing a long sigh and relaxing on his throne, "twenty six years...My core can't hold on anymore".
"..." I could only watch as his body began to evaporate like black smoke, slowly his feet was gone.
"I guess, I should release you and your brothers memories now, Did Vargan return?" The moment he finished speaking, a huge amount of information seemed to pour into my mind, I didn't even know when I fell on my knees holding my head.
By the time the pain left me, I was growling on the floor with drool pouring out of my mouth.
"That...Do you remember now?" He asks curiously, now only his torso remained as his body continued to dissipate.
"I remember"
"Good, then you know what you must do" He grinned as all that was left was his head, he looked in the collapsing edges and sighed "Uloth must have been tired of waiting... Destroy them and..."
His voice trailed off with him completely dissipating.
"Ragol..." I completed his sentence and then roared, "I will destroy you all!!!"
