The sun was scorching hot, Ma'dak was crouching on the tall gras, the grass tickling his nose he tried not to sneeze, but he could not prevent him.
ACHOO Echoed on the plains, four Orc's turned around their brown skin covered with tribal marks and tattoos, one of them snorted and walked towards the sound, soon lifting a Orc pup who was flailing and trying to hit the old orc to the face. "Lemme go! Lemme go! I am a hunter also!" "No son, you are not. You are too young. Go back to your mother." Ma'dak snarled to his father and for that he received a firm slap to his face making him stagger and flail even more. Du'kam looked at his son, stubborn and full of spite. He rolled his eyes and tossed the pup towards the three waiting Orcs. "Very well! We hunt! Keep up boy. We do not wait for you." Du'kam started jogging and when he reached the three orcs they started jogging faster.

Ma'dak blinked and snarled, starting to run after his father. "You don't need to wait me! I can keep up!" the Pup kept running, even after he could not see his father anymore.

Hours later
Du'kam was crouching his old eyes staring to a herd of Talbuk's he pull out a shaft for his bow and aimed, the shaft flying towards the Talbuks. Hitting one square to throat of the Clefthoof it toppling down when rest of the herd scattered the three other orcs shooting arrows at the Talbuk, expect one of the youngsters whom Du'kam brought with him, they were running towards a Clefthoof wielding their heavy stone axe. "Gru'nuk! Do not be a idiot now!" Du'kam roared after him as he saw the Orc chasing a Clefthoof while a Clefthoof bull stared to circle around to protect it's herd. "Gru'nuk!" Ma'dak yelled but Gru'nuk did not hear he was yelling victories roars while he was running towards the Talbuks while the Bull was charging towards him. Gru'nuk  stopped suddenly as if he would had heard Du'kam. Gru'nuk turned around to see and then the Bull caught up with him and bull rushed Gru'nuk over and trampled him. After the Bull had ran the orc over it started to turn around to do it again. Gru'nuk was laying on the grass yelling from pain.

Du'kam watched this in horror, he was a pack leader. This had never happened to him before. He merely stood and stared dropping his bow. The two other orcs stopped also, Gru'nuks faith was sealed.
And then the Bull roared and started shaking it's head. Du'kam blinked and looked at the Bull whom had a shaft on it's eye. He saw Ma'dak next to him readying the very bow he had dropped and shot again taking out the Bull's other eye and the shaft sank in deeper to the animals brain as the Bull throttled and fell down.

Du'kam looked at his son and then grunted, running to Gru'nuk.

After that day of hunting names were given.

Du'kam Strongback father of Ma'dak.
Ma'dak was rewarded with title Ma'dak Feralshaft.
Gru'nuk who survived the ordeal was also given a title, Gru'nuk Hoovenface. For the lesson learned.

“Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair!”
