I walked along side the Elf, who's name I learned to be of Gratch,   He stopped me at a hill, "Look now, young Orc, what do you see?".  I looked" I see nothing, there's nothing here!". My voice filled with rage, the promise of a home torn away in a cruel joke.  Gratch laughed, "Look again, first cleanse all thoughts of hostility from your heart and mind".  I looked in the direction that was indicated, " Wha? What black magic is this!?". For the fog and mist has disappeared, and in its place was a village.    " Only those with pure hearts and minds are enabled to view this land, welcome dear Orc, to paradise".

CV/kurfist are my accounts.  Too much time passed at the time for me to go back and make it so kurfist posted it instead of CV.

Enjoy it.

The rays of the sky, ever persistent, breaks through the morning fog.  The rays are like a beacon of hope, they tell me that "some day, I'll be amongst my own".  I wish that it will turn true, oh how I wish..

Every day starts the same, I get up, grab my spear and head off to the lake side. There I'll gaze at the Orc staring back at myself,  wishing that he'll speak to me like I do to him.   Today however, I saw no reflection. As I arrived to the lake, the clouds filled the air, strange weather to be sure but nothing serious.  Upon arrival I leaned forward eagerly to talk to the Orc, but saw only the harsh gray of the morning sky.

 

Why does this happen? Why is it that I am never allowed to be near one of my own? Even the mute Orc ran away, Run away Orc! He talks like a human!

I sat by the lake and filled it with my tears.  That Orc had the same glove wear as myself, but yet I am still different.   Maybe I'll never find someone to be with..   As I sat mourning I heard a pitter patter of foot steps.  I looked up and saw an Elf walking calmly towards me.  "What do you want!?" I asked.  The Elf replied "I noticed you here all alone,  where are your Brothers?.  An innocent question, but to me it was as painful as a stab through the chest.   "I have no Brothers, I'm all alone in this world.I answered with a sad tone.  The Elf, this strange elf gave me a smile, and said with a soft voice " Come with me, you shall soon have a family."

As I walked with this Elf, I learned that he too had been alone in the world.  He didn't know his family, so instead he gathered others without families, into one place.  A place where they could run and dance and make merry.  The place you ask? None other than the land of D'hara..

I am really loving this CV!!  I like how it starts and then goes back even further in time to set up for/explain the previous paragraph.  
I anxiously await the next installment. :)

A normal day in the encampment. The Orc Women returning home just having bagged a nice tasty elf.. the Orc men are guarding their gates, the adolescent Orc's fighting each other. My Father Ria'fist, enters my hovel, offering me a nice slice of elf thigh meat. Then....  The howls of dogs fill the air, our guards rush to the gates, only to have arrows grow from their backs.  Riders enter out camp, cutting down all who stand in their way. 

My father pushes me out of the hovel, over to a low point in our camp's wall. He helps me up then pauses, looking over at the carnage, I find myself looking at the images I know all too well.  The riders have dismounted, and are throwing torches upon our thatched hovels, burning the Orc children inside.  My father rushes back to our hovel to gather up a few belongings,  as he is inside, a rider throws his torch onto the hovel.  The screams fill the night air, and in a panic I found myself running in infinite space, never far enough away from the cry's of the dying..

The darkness breaks, I awake too the feeling of light upon my face. The sun is shining high in the sky, not a cloud to darken It's golden rays. I sit up for a moment, basking in the warm glow, a much preferred alternative to the dream last night.
