Gromgeth's story about a 'The Red'.

Tutor Doomhowl asked me 'write' a story about an old legend, notable Orc champions or just a heart warming story from the past. Immediately I heard a name in my head many Lok'vadnods are heard about this Orc, some of you may already know the story but for the Orcs who don't... listen carefully.
(inhales deeply and when he lets the air out he speaks the following words...)

It was during the of the three wars between the Alliance and new Horde...
There was a Orc champion named Boxigar Saurfang, also known as Broxigar the Red or just Brox.
Broxigar was a veteran of the First, Second, and Third Wars well known among his people for his heroic actions in helping to hold a vital mountain pass against hordes of demons during the Third War. Of all of his comrades, Brox was the only one left alive when orcish reinforcements finally arrived on the battlefield. Though he was greatly honored by his people, Brox never forgave himself for his "cowardice" in surviving while all of his comrades died a noble, glorious death.
When the Horde shamans detected the temporal anomaly in the Stonetalon Mountains, Brox and a younger warrior were sent to investigate. Brox's companion, Gaskal, was slain and Brox himself was thrown ten thousand years into the past along for an unknown reason. Some say he was destined to and was send back by time itself for a damn good reason.

A lot of different stories of this Lok'vadnod are known, but this is what i believe.

Not knowing where he stranded Broxigar quickly came in contact with Night Elves and was captured. The Night Elves treated him like an animal, the priestess known as Tyrande was kind to him, giving him food and healing his injuries. Brox called her "shaman", believing that the powers of healing she used were granted to her by the spirits.
Brox was eventually freed by Tyrande. Brox's fighting skills earned him a fair reputation among the Kaldorei Resistance they had never seen a creature or fighting style before. Though typically xenophobic, the Night Elves accepted him.
When Brox's axe was taken by the Night Elves who captured him, the high druid Malfurion, under the forest demigod Cenarius' direction, created a mystical axe of wood that had the sharpness and density of a diamond. In Broxigars hands, it was to be the death of literally thousands of demons and allowed him to achieve the unthinkable against their lord.

Some of you know what happened at the Well of Eternity thousends of years ago! What you maybe didn't know is that Broxigar played a special part in that battle. The well got floated with thousends of demons and wanted to summon their Lord Sargeras (Speaking that name makes your bood cold.) to our beloved world Azeroth to completely destroy it.
(Gromgeth peers around the Orcs listening.)

At the battle over the Well of Eternity, Brox realized that if the world and the future were to be saved, his companions needed more time. Brox leapt from the back of one of the red dragons carrying him into the swirling portal that was opening at the bottom of the funnel! When he passed through, and arrived in the realm of the Burning Legion, he proceeded to slaughter multitudes of demons, blocking their advance towards the portal, slaying so many that he ended up standing atop a hill of their bodies  mocking more to come challenge him! It was there that he eventually attracted the attention of Sargeras himself, who came personally to put an end to the Orc's life. However, using the magical axe crafted for him by Malfurion, Broxigar did the impossible, and struck a small wound in Sargeras' leg. That for a second, tore Sargeras' attention away from his struggle to keep the portal open...allowing Malfurion and his allies to close it upon him. Broxigars life was ended by Sargeras, right before the demon entered the portal, by the jagged edge of Sargeras's broken sword. With this final act of loyalty, Broxigar the Red sealed his place in history as the only known mortal to have ever staged an assault upon the Burning Legion's leader.

Broxigar the Red died, not a mere honorable death, but was struck down in a blaze of glory nearly unheard of in the history of the orcs.

Broxigar was not send alone back in time, he had two accompanies, it is unknown who they were. But a few days later an Orc shaman spoke to Thrall told him the story about Broxigar and brought him the magical axe of wood. The shaman told his tale of how Brox helped stop another demon invasion, and implored the Warchief to sing songs of Broxigar the Red, his legendary life, and his glorious sacrifice.
(Gromgeth slowly nods and ends his story.)

"And...! I don't know if it's true but i've heard that the Night Elves raised up a statue to him, making him the the only orc to have ever been given homage by them.
