Chapter 17 - Chapter 16 Rosa Lightbringer

"Enough of me let me tend to your wounds." Said Rosa.

"Ohh they are nothing." Said Thorzen.

"Let me heal you. It's my job." Said Rosa.

Thorzen lays down and lets Rosa heal him.

"What's your name?" Asked Rosa.

"Oh sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Thor.... well it's complicated." Said Ray.

"Complicated? You don't know your name?" Asked Rosa.

"Well, I'm not exactly an orc." Said Thorzen.

Rosa looks at Thorzen questionably.

"Can I ask you something, Rosa?" Asked Ray.

"Yes, you may." Said Rosa.

"Do you want to get away from here? This village of orcs." Asked Thorzen.

Rosa pauses lowers her head and starts crying.

Thorzen waits silently for Rosa to answer.

"I want to leave this place. I don't even know if any of my former adventurer friends are still alive." Said Rosa.

"If you want I could take you from here. But like I said it's complicated. Can I trust you, Rosa?" Asked Thorzen.

Rosa lifts her head and looks at Thorzen. "Yes if you can get me out of here I'll be indebted to you and you will have my loyalty." Said Rosa.

System notification: system quest.

Quest: save the human Rosa Lightbringer from the orc village. Rewards upon completion 5000 XP, 20 attribute points, 100 skill points, 1000 gold coins.

"A system quest nice." Thought Ray.

Thorzen stands up. "My real name is Thorzen. I'm not an orc." Said Thorzen. Thorzen takes a step back and changes into his Changeling form.

Rosa's eyes open wide. "What are you Thorzen?" Asked Rosa.

"I'm a Changeling this is my true form." Said Thorzen. Thorzen transforms into kobold, goblin, troglodyte, purple poison Lizard then into an orc.

"If you choose to go with me you must be patient. I must finish my objectives in this village." Said Thorzen.

Rosa nods her head. "Thorzen take me with you when you are finished with your objectives." Said Rosa.

"Ok you wait here I must go see the chief." Said Thorzen.

Thorzen exits the infirmary. He starts to walk towards the center of the village. He sees someone coming towards him orc. He recognizes the orc as Torax.

Torax waves Thorzen over. As they get closer Torax tells Thorzen that the chief wants to see him. "Follow me Torac." Said Torax. Thorzen nods.

Thorzen and Torax enter the chief's longhouse. Inside the longhouse, the ten orcs can be seen talking to the chief. The chief is sitting on a large wooden chair adorned with skulls from humans and other Demihumans. The chief is broad and muscular. He has a large Great ax leaning against his chair. Standing next to the chief is an older orc with grayish skin and white hair. The older orc is holding a wooden staff adorned with feathers.

"Chief I brought Torac." Said Torax.

"Very good Torax, go back to your duties." Said the chief.

"Yes, chief." Said Torax. Torax nods his head and turns to leave the longhouse.

"Tormac has been telling me that you escaped capture from some troglodytes." Said the chief. The chief stares at Thorzen. Everyone in the room turns and stares at Thorzen.

"Yes, chief. If it wasn't for a Minotaur attacking the troglodytes base I would have been eaten. When they got distracted by the attack, I overpowered the one troglodyte that they left to guard me. I took its sword and fought my way out. I avoided the Minotaur as the troglodytes were attacking it. I managed to kill five troglodytes on my way out of the cave. Said Thorzen.

"Very good Torac. It's a shame we lost four orc warriors. We were discussing a raid on the troglodytes base before you came to Torac. What do you think Torac?" Said the chief.

"Chief there was around thirty troglodytes when we first got captured. I killed five and who knows how many the Minotaur killed. I think with Tormac and the others here and maybe Torax we could destroy the troglodytes." Said Thorzen.

"Twelve orc warriors against twenty or so troglodytes. Hmm, what do you think Tormac?" Asked the chief.

"I think twelve will be enough. We will get revenge on them, damn troglodytes!" Said Tormac.

"Yeah! Revenge!! Kill the troglodytes!!" Yelled the other orcs.

The elder orc yells. "Quite you fools! We must not take the troglodytes lightly! You must use your heads when fighting them. Don't slack off!!"

"Yes, elder!" Yelled the orcs.

"Tormac you and Torac will lead these nine and Torax and destroy the troglodytes base. You leave as soon as you are ready." Said the chief.

"Yes, chief." Said Tormac. All the orcs bow their heads.

The group of orcs leaves the chief longhouse.

"Torac you'll need a weapon." Said Tormac.

"Yes, I lost the sword that I took from that troglodyte." Said Thorzen.

"Go to the gate and tell Torax that he's coming with us and to get you a weapon from the armory. We will meet at the gate." Said Tormac.

Thorzen heads to the gate. He sees Torax and the other orc standing guard.

"Torax you are going with us on the troglodyte raid. I need a new weapon from the armory. Tormac said to ask you to get a new weapon for me." Said Thorzen.

"Ok you wait here and I'll go to the armory." Said Torax. Torax heads to the armory.

While Thorzen waits he speaks to Prime. "Prime you Zak and the others move a mile away from your location and set the ambush up. I'm gonna be heading towards you guys soon. There will be 11 other orcs with me. We are going to kill ten of them. I'll give the signal by saying, what are you doing Torax. Then start the ambush. You should be able to see us in about thirty minutes or so. Got that Prime?" Said Thorzen.

"Yes, Thorzen I understand." Said Prime. (Telepathy).

Torax is the first to show up at the gate.

"Torac I got you twin blades. I remember you saying that you preferred to duel wield." Said Torax.

"Haha that's right I do!" Said Thorzen. Thorzen looked amazed.

"Don't look so surprised brother." Said Torax.

"Brother? That's why I feel a connection between Torac and Torax." Thought Thorzen.

"Ok. Everyone ready?" Said Tormac.

Thorzen and Torax turn to look at the speaker. It's Tormac and the others.

"Yes, we are ready Tormac." Said Thorzen.

Tormac tosses a bag at Torax. "Something to eat for our journey." Said Tormac.

The twelve orcs leave the village.

"Prime we are leaving the village now. We will be there soon. Is everything thing ready?" Asked Thorzen. (Telepathy).

"Yes, Thorzen." Replied Prime. (Telepathy).
