(( This is a reposting of something I wrote in March 07, the whole saga involving Yorla disappearing and the demons in BRD, this is the first part of the story immeadiatly following the meeting, and if I can I will have a look at the screenies and try my hardest to remember what happened! The help of anyone who does would greatly be appreciated! ))
The Ring
Kargur stood guard, his back to the Warchief and the Tribe, watching the entrance of Grommash Hold for unwanted intruders. He listened carefully to what was being said, to the anger and the disbelief of his fellow orcs. Many thoughts had been crowding his head since he had heard of the allegations about Yorla, now the truth was finally coming out. He was puzzled as to why Oznack had left so suddenly, and had noticed the glimmer of something shiny falling from a concealed pouch and heard the tinkle of metal on stone as Oz had made his exit.
As the orcs left the chamber following the decision of the Warchief, Kargur stooped down to examine what it was had fallen. A small copper ring lay in the dust; Kargur carefully picked it up between one massive, plated forefinger and thumb and held it up to the light before storing it carefully in a pouch dangling from his belt. “Me’z kin look at dis later” he though to himself, as he hurried out of the chamber to join the Captain and other guards.
When he returned to his quarters that night Kargur had all but forgotten about the ring in his pouch, only noticing it again when he was rooting through his pouches for some coin to pay the rent, slamming the coins into the orcs hand and quickly slamming the door, he turned to examine the ring. He turned it over and over in his hand and held it up to the light; it seemed to be just a simple band of woven copper, nothing special or unusual about it at all. “Mebbe et means summat ter Oz” he muttered to himself “Me’z will give et back ter ‘im de firs’ chance me’z gets”.
Nearly a week passed by, Kargur had still not seen Oz and was still waiting to return the ring he found. After a successful trip to Blackrock Spire, Kargur stood in Orgrimmar chatting idly with Kozgugore when he noticed a she-orc dressed in black watching him from the corner of his eye. The she-orc asked if he was indeed the Red Guard Kargur, so he nodded. “Ah! Just the orc I’ve been looking for”, she said. Kargur was puzzled, who was this mysterious orc, and what did she want from him. The orc indicated to Kargur that he should follow, and she moved off towards the Drag. “Yer not one o’ dem thieves are yer?” asked Kargur apprehensively, the she-orc scoffed at his fears, “Yer not scared of some thieves are you?” she exclaimed. Kargur simply nodded and said “Dabu, dey’res lots o’ dem an’ one o’ me’z, plenty o’ reason ter be scared”. The female sighed heavily, and said “If you’re scared then we can meet somewhere else then”.
Settling beside one of the large bonfires that are all over Orgrimmar the mysterious, old she-orc began to question Kargur about the events that took place in Thrall’s chamber, and asked him if he had seen a ring. “Me’z did” replied Kargur, “Oz dropped et”. The she-orc seemed very excited about this, and wanted Kargur to hand it over to her, but he refused “Why should me’z give yer dis ring orc? Me’z not even know who yer are!”, “Because it’s mine” she replied. Kargur was very suspicious, and refused to hand it over. The old she-orc was very wily however, and tried many tricks to get the ring, offering him money for it, and telling him that Oznack was merely looking after it from her. But Kargur did not relent, until that is, the she-orc showed him a Red Blade tabard, and told him that they were of the same Tribe.
This swayed Kargur, and he reasoned “If she es one o’ de Tribe den me’z mus’ be able ter trust ‘er, she won’ be tryin’ ter trick me’z or steal from me’z”. He rummaged through his many bags and pouches and showed it to the very impatient female, who had been tapping her foot whilst she waited. She greedily snatched it from his hand and grinned wickedly at him. “Ah thank you” she said and walked off muttering something about regrets…
