Chereads / The Scion / Chapter 47 - Chapter 47

Chapter 47 - Chapter 47

The Old Orc Chief was gathering and inspecting the condition of the sick, weak elderly and the children, while his eldest son with the help of the surviving Orcs took the bodies of their fallen comrades and place them properly on the ground a few feet from the Dead Mountain troll. Ramiel was still resting on the dead troll when the old Orc Chief went to meet him to pay respect to the one who help his tribe,

a young female Orc was helping the old Chief as they both walk on the broken terrain as dozen of dead and wounded could be seen around the dead troll's fallen body. Ramiel was having a hard time seeing clearly because of all of the remaining smoke from the dust that the troll made when it fell to its death, he has brushing the smoke in the air when he was able to see a few things below him,

he saw the old Orc wearing a Chief rob and he was being accompanied by a female Orc, upon seeing this he took the initiative to personally greet the old Orc clan Chief, as a sign of good gesture and respect toward their race, he jumps down and lands gently and saw the what was going on below the thick smoke, the old Orc Chief was weak and struggling to hold his posture, and his female attendant and the rest of the tribe,

"Imbuement controlled chamber,"

Ramiel took out the Dhasiga meat, from his dimensional storage and place them on a flat granite rock, that was 6 by 6 feet wide and a foot thick, that came from the mountain trolls back, it was the perfect material to grill the meat, so Ramiel called out to all of the Orcs and stated that he came to help their tribe, he and cast a spell that would slowly cook the meat, that can feed an entire auditorium filled with people,

"open skill focus flame."

his left hand burst out a flame that was like an acetylene torch and started heating the huge flat rock, soon the rock was slowly cooking the meat, the smell was making their hunger more intense, The hunger in their eyes increased as their pulse started to affect their stomach,

the tribe Chief bowed down to him, Ramiel was placing dry wood, under the flat rock when he notice the Chief's movement, so place the wood on the ground and address the Chief with respect and greeted him with the same posture, this surprised the rest of the tribe, seeing a stronger individual give respect to those who were weaker than him.

all of the Orcs including the young children saw this and also bow down to their saviour when Ramiel places his right hand on his chest and said.

"I do not deserve such honour, but after seeing you greet me with such respect I will accept this as a symbol of our friendship."

"I have seen your hardship, a felt I have to help your tribe."

the son of the tribe Chief walked near them and also greeted Ramiel,

"greetings saviour! I am the eldest son of our chief!"

"and the one assisting my father is my half-human daughter, Sharn,"

the sound from the Female Orc's stomach made Ramiel smile and said,

we have all the time to talk, but what is important now is to regain your strength and heal those who are wounded. and he pointed at the meat that was making their mouth salivate.

"the meat is almost cooked! we should eat it while it is still warm."

the other Orcs were a bit hesitant to eat, but as soon Ramiel grab a slice of cooked meat and gave it to the starving female Orc, out of respect and hunger she ate it with satisfaction and delight, the chief took a piece to ensure that the food was safe to eat, then rest soon followed and took pieces of cooked meat in an orderly manner and distribute it to their starving tribe members,

seeing their reaction Ramiel took out more meat and continued the process and started to cook all of the meets he was able to gather, a few Orcs took it upon themselves to gather wood and place it under the flat rock so the fire will remain, the Chief gave out his order to temporarily set camp

as the young children took Ramiel hand and told him he needs to rest because they can see that he was exhausted and weary and let the task be taken over by their elders, he saw the bad condition of the Orc as they desperately fights to live, the food that they were eating was making them cry with happiness because they have been wandering for months in the forest starving and despair in their mind, after seeing this, he wanted to help and heal the wounded, but a few of them who knows how to alleviate their pain by using medicinal plants including the half Orc requested to let them do it because it was their task to do so.

Ramiel saw in her eyes the eagerness to help her kind, so he just nodded and smiled at her, she also gave a small nod after giving out orders to her team and proceeded in healing the injured tribe members.

Ramiel took this opportunity to get some rest and move away from the tribe as they fulfilled their duties to one another both the living and the dead, while walking toward the area that he selected to rest on, the Orcs who saw him gave their gesture as a sign of gratitude towards him. he was a few feet from them, he saw and wanted to rest on a huge root that formed into a nest-like shape and it had the perfect amount of shade, so Ramiel just sat under it and without a care in the world just fell asleep,

while dreaming Ramiel felt a warm body beside him, thinking he was still having a dream he ignores it, and because the warmth was also nice, the bustling sounds from the Tribe changed from despair to the sound of hope, Ramiel finally woke up and saw the same wolves that he helps hours ago was cuddling and asleep beside him,

"oh! so that's why I had a great nap,"

" wait you change a lot have you? little pup?"

"but you still have that look in your eyes,"

"Anyway, nothing in this world is normal."

"Hello! Savior, I think the wolves took a liking to you,"

" you are called Sharn, right? you can just call me by my name."

"oh! I am sorry for Disturbing you, saviour."

"Sigh! just call me by my name, it's Ramiel! ok ?"

Ramiel stood up and saw it was already nighttime, he saw a couple of makeshift tents where most of the wounded and tired tribe members are resting, and the flat rock became the centre gathering area of the tribe, Sharn invites Ramiel to join them, so they could properly thank him, he looked at Sharn and just nodded and told her he wants to discuss something to the chief too, tree logs were placed around the flat rock,

as it was renovated to be a proper fireplace,

Ramiel saw the chief and greeted him, all of the tribe who were sitting around the fireplace stood up and were about to greet Ramiel when he waved his hand and said

"please enough of the saviour name! just call me by Ramiel, ok!"

the chief, commands the rest of the tribe to respect Master Ramiels Wish as he sat near the chief, and openly shares the reason why had to help them in the first place, he thought by being honest and openly saying the events that forced them to endure this situation will reduce his guilt, after explaining certain details leaving out the part about his mother's true identity,

sadly this made the rest of the Orc members angry, thinking that he was making up stories just to insult their pride, someone was about to attack Ramiel when.

"stop! Master Ramiel didn't intentionally do these things to hurt or kill any of us,"

"but chief! he is telling us that the calamity we all face and endured, killed many of us, and were able to survive was created by him!"

"We know how powerful he is! but saying that you have that kind of power that is enough to make the forsaken land tremble at your feet is preposterous!"

the Orc who took Ramiels storey to be fabricated and a mockery of their dead members, the chief stood up and took out his staff and ask Ramiel to hold it firmly while the tip of the staff is touching the ground, and just open his mind and let his energy flow into the staff.

"watch my fellow Orc! and see for yourself who this person standing before you is."

Ramiel saw an emblem on the ground and it was created by the staff that he was holding, the Orcs saw it, and kneel and bowed their head as low as they can. sharn and her father saw the same symbol and also kneel and utter the words.

"the house of Demiurgos."

"We the Uruk-hai race and the Storm marrows tribe lower their head and life to a descendant of the house of Demiurgos."

Ramiel saw the fear in their body, and those who were about to attack him was shaking, he lifted the staff and walk to the chief who was kneeling on the ground,

"Please let us not do this, I am just a wandering student, I do not wish to intrude on your daily lives anymore, "

"I am truly sorry!"

the chief felt two hands grabbing him by the shoulder and gently raising him, it was Ramiel and said in a soft tone,

"I offered my hand in friendship, but now after seeing the mistake I did wasn't enough to heal your angry heart, I shall leave and hope your tribe can forgive me?"

in unison, all of the Storm marrows tribe ask Ramiel, to forgive them for their actions and disrespectful manners, and begs them, he didn't want to make the situation even worst and said

"you all did nothing wrong, in time we can all stand before each other with proper acceptance and understanding, so please. you don't need to fear me?"

" We thank master Ramiel for being so generous to us lowly Uruk-hai,"

even those words of comfort weren't enough to take his guilt away, with a sad feeling he thank the Storm marrows tribe and went back to the makeshift ness that he rested on and could only think of contemplating what happened and finding the best solution,

so meditating was his only option at that very moment to clear his mind, at the same time the wolf cub was waiting for him, the moment he sat down it climbed up toward his lap and stood and started licking his cheeks, this made him smile and momentarily forget the issue at hand,

then after a few seconds, he grabs the wolf cub and hugs it and stroked its smooth fur, then he lifted it to see the cub's back fur, it was staring at him with its adorable big black eyes with such affection went he noticed something was missing from its body,

"oh! wait you are a girl! hi hi hi! anyway, do you want to join me on my adventure and training?"

the wolf cub barked with delight as it energetically wag its tail, and began jumping all over the place, but Ramiel wanted to do something about the tribe's condition and hopefully, they can forgive him and not use fear as a substitute for true forgiveness.

"ok! I made up my mind I will help them settle down in a great and safe place."

"wait what can I call you little one? ah! I will name you Al ! because I miss both of my mothers."

"
