Confrontation

[Logush]

               
A week has passed since the last time I saw the tribe, not entierly sure if my absense had been noticed anyway, I was certain they managed well without me...for I had more important buisness to attend.
Following the trail of these mysterious warlocks that had been pestering us was about to end, atleast two of them, soon they would see the error in their ways by picking on the wrong orc.

Many days had passed and I had lost track of time as I plunged myself into the wilderness of Gorgrond, all months spent in these lands would finally prove usefull and give me a clear advantage over the defilers. As I looked on my map I could see that I was far south-west from Broken Horn, but as I looked down to the ground beneath me the tracks had suddenly stopped...before me was the entrance to a cave, and I knew what dwelled inside it.

I waited several hours to let the veil of night shroud my presence as I approached closer, as I did I could clearly hear a hoarse male voice deep within the cave:..”You are too weak to go out all by yourself, besides, we have no idea what lurks in the dark at this hour.” As the voices stopped I could hear the sound of heavy footsteps heading my way, so I did the most logical at the moment and hid in a nearby bush still having my gaze fixed at the entrance. The male warlock peered around briefly before igniting a torch held in his left hand, it was then I made my move, quickly I crept up behind the orc and plunged my blade right in his back and the other one slicing across his throat, my left blade was still attached to the orc’s back as I let his limb body fall to the ground, not a single sound emitting from him.
As I entered the cave to my surprise, the female had already fallen asleep and looked...”peacefull”, getting a hold on her was easy, I wrapped my left hand around her throat holding her limbly up in the air as I pressed my remaining blade close to her guts.
”Now warlock...give me back what is mine!” I demanded as I sternly looked into her eyes, they screamed out in terror, although she was able to utter a few words: ”I-i-if I do, will you let me go...?”. ”FIRST” I said, ”You’ll do as you’re told, return my youth”
The female raised her already trembling arm slowly towards my chest as I feelt the warm embrace of health returning to me, even my hair seemed to return to it’s original color. I gasped in general surprise and relief as I feelt my body restored to it’s former strength.
”N-now...I’ve done what you asked...l-l-l let me..go.” I then leaned in and whispered to the female ”No.” as I pierced her black heart with my blade and dropped her body to the ground as she gasped in surprise and took her final breathes.
I looked around in the cave a final time seeing dark runes covering the walls of the cave and some small lit candles here and there, clearly making preperations for something sinister, I thought no more of it as I turned my back and slowly made my way to Broken Horn...
