Title: In the dust
Post by: Morgeth on December 16, 2008, 02:44:34 AM
The trampling feet of many orc over dusted ground announces that yet another of the tribe's gatherings is over. This night, as so many before it, has been one of talks, drinks and a shared fire. But there is something left behind; a simple scrap of paper lying on the ground.

Be it left to the keen eye of a peon returning to his morning duties, or a tribesmember returning for his keg, the note lies to the side of the trampled ashes of their fire. The parchment is of the newer kind, as well as the writing and the neat letters form the following hymn:

Do not call for us
When war is at your door
We are already there
As we have been before

Not a pack of mangy dogs
To scavenge at your feet
We are a tribe of wolves
Where strength and honour meet

United by the effort
Of the matriarch's hand
Our hearts harbour righteous pride
As we fight for our honoured land

And we do not forget
The blood that has been spilled
Nor shall we wolves rest
Until our destiny be fulfilled.

The note has no signature to prove to whom it belongs, and smells only of ashes and dried meat.


((OOC: A bit cheesy maybe, but that's the this cookie crumbles at times.))

(( Very rawr and orcy! I loves it! This calls for a tribal anthem! *Cacklez* Although I suppose it'd go to waste if we would let crazies like Osan or Bugor try to recite this.

*Hands out torches and pitchforks* Time to find ourselves a bard! ))
