Chapter 82: 78: Battle of Felridge Hold 1

Gilgar's Pov

Two hours earlier before the departure of Alex's team.

I walked around the house excitedly before spotting the sleeping Largash.

"Ugh! Ash," I mumble with a grunt, staring down at her pale green face.

"Huh?" She struggles to open her eyes as her hair lay scattered all over the place.

"Come on," I say in a snappy voice. "You have to get up."

Immediately she open her eyes wide and quickly grabbed her sword in an alert manner.

"haa... There's nothing" I said with a sigh, can't say I blame her though, considering how we grew up.

"Haaaaa..." She sat up straight, smacking her head into something hard. I ignore the sight, it's always like this every morning since we came to the Black moon tribe.

"What are you doing?" I sputter, shocked as she almost fell once again. well, she has always been slow in the mornings for some reason, although Papa says she got it from our mother, I can't help but worry.

"Trying to get up," she responds with a grunt before holding the back of her head for a second, and then with a small smile, I yanked her along.

earning me a scream from her mouth, "Did you forget?"

Hearing my question, she looked blank for a second before realization appeared on her face, "Quick let's go".

We ran out of the house and made our way through the town while I messed with the Goblins, I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips as I watched the little goblin rant from behind.

It didn't take long for us to reach the town square as I saw Papa matching out with the Chief and his group. The brown fur cloak really suits him but the Chief's cloak still remains the best, rumor has it that it was gifted to him by the Goddess. I couldn't help looking at the 'temple' subconsciously and when I returned to look at the group, my eyes locked with Urim's.

He grinned like an idiot and I couldn't help face palming at his antics, "Papa" Largash's voice brought me back from my inner thoughts as I was totally unaware of his approach.

He looks at us with a smile but I can see the worry in his eyes, "You have to be careful out there, remember what the Chief always says...There is no shame in wanting to live, Your safety first, revenge can come later, do you understand?."

"Mm"

"Yes"

Then he looked at me for a second before saying, "watch over your sister, you know how stubborn she gets, your the eldest".

I couldn't help grinning at this but this only made Largash roll her eyes. With those words He ran after the Chief.

After watching for a few seconds, we left to make some preparations. After that we went to Lovan and collected 'twenty three' of his boom rocks even though he argued that it was twenty, he even called me 'stupid' for saying otherwise.

But I can't hate him, he's one of the few in this town that doesn't care that we are Halflings, if you looked passed the obvious pale green skin and small tusks, you would think we were human women.

Once done we went to the training field, and decided to go with a hundred Hobgoblins and Orcs, fifty of both. Luckily everything went smoothly, after all Urim came the day before to 'Explain' what was going to happen today.

A smile crept up my face as I recalled the scene. 'Ah I must have that annoying look those Noble women had when visiting the slaves...'

"What are you thinking of again" Largash asks staring at me as we walked towards the gates.

"Nothing" I lied and she looked at me like I had grown a tree on my face but still said nothing.

A few hours later,

"Do you really want to be with the Chief?" I suddenly asked and Largash raised a brow.

Our warriors, in their battle skirts matched in a disorderly manner and were a short distance behind, so I took the chance to ask.

"Why do you ask?"

"You know, with everything you are doing and now Papa's going out of his way to help you, I wanted to be sure you knew what you are doing" I explained while watching her expressions, "Do you like him?".

Hearing my last question, she sighed and said, "It has nothing to do with like or anything like that Gilgar"

But her answer made me even more confused, "Then why? why go so far..."

"Strength" She said.

"what?"

"Before anything, we are Orcs first Gilgar and what do Orcs look for in a mate?"

"..."

"To me, no one is stronger than the Chief, Torug, his intelligence could rival that of Humans and above all, he is blessed by the Goddess." She says with a firm look on her face," I know that I would be a better me with the Chief"

"..." Speechless, I looked at my sister," Won't you regret it?"

Then She laughed out loud and said, "Oh sister, when have I ever regretted anything".

Though she said that, I couldn't help finding something wrong, 'why is she so talkative today, normally, she would ignore most of this questions, especially anyone concerning her 'plans'. '

Then It hit me.

I spoke with firmness in my voice as I asked her, "Your Scared".

Her laughter paused along with her steps for a second before she continued and said, "Pff scared ..."

There it is again, she denied, if it's a lie, she would ignore me, "No Ash, you are...it's the first we are out to do something like this without Papa, so your scared".

"..."

She stopped her steps entirely and held her head with both arms as she squatted down. Shocked for a second, I quickly ordered the others.

"Stop!!! we rest!!"

They looked at us weirdly before they began to scatter while resting on trees, going about their business.

Seeing that no one approached, I walked towards Largash and wrapped my arms around her without saying anything.

She... She was shaking and I didn't even know what to say about it, so did the next best and remained silent.

Perhaps this was what made us different from the other Orcs who feel excitement rather than fear at the mere mention of war.

I looked at the unworried faces of the orcs and goblins, some even began to wrestle and I couldn't help feeling envious.

Perhaps being half human really wasn't a good thing as our emotions visibly becomes a burden at worst times.

'now's not the time for such thoughts, Gilgar' I thought to myself as I looked at Ash once again, 'Now we need to cheer her up'.

"Hey" I called out to her and she raised her face from her hands to look at me, before she could get a good look, I grabbed onto her cheeks and began to pull.

"Ow ow ow!!!" she exclaims as she struggled to get free, then she ended up falling when I let go.

""""Hahahaha"""" the warriors laughed in the background and I grinned at my fallen sister.

"What are you doing??!!" She complained with a threatening gaze, like she wanted to pounce on me.

"What would you do if Nazu saw you like this?" I asked with the intention of riling her up.

"What?"

"What would you do?" I asked again.

"Hmph... your comparing me to that Orc? All she's got is her brawn going for her".

"but you won't see her hugging her head on the ground because of..." I poked a bit further but got mercilessly pounced on and pounded by her light fists that made me laugh instead of cry.

"grrr....gruff..." the Warriors grunt, losing interest.

Then with a firm tone I said, "This battle is for you, I fight for you, I see you suffer, confused, your aura one of fear and doubt. This makes me sad, people cannot follow you unless they trust you as you trust them and it is this little things that father sent you over to learn; Nazu has earned the heart and loyalty of her people and I believe father is trying to help you do the same.

I will warn you dear sister, that the battles can be hard. Battles can break you and leave you for dead just to see if you can get up again. Battles can teach through lessons that are cruel, but if that is the only way to help you then your path is set. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, is mother used to say and know that I have your back. Ultimately, your safety is won no matter how terrible the path, be brave, I'm never far, do you understand what I am trying to say sister?"

"What did Papa always tell us that mother wanted to understand?"

"we are forever" Largash answers weakly.

"Yes, come rain" I stood up and stretched my hand towards her, "come shine"

""we are forever""
