Chapter 7: Childhood
The Giant Bear Chief accepted Baturu's offer, as the land was too barren to withstand the impending Kuroshio.
"We have to move fast, or there's a good chance that the Kuroshio will come before we can get out of here. Baturu said to the Giant Bear Chief
"Lord Olafman, our scouts have spotted a cloud of black fog fifty kilometers to the west. "This is a Giant Bear soldier reporting to the Giant Bear Chief
"Well, we'll leave at once, tell us at once, all the Bears will have food and belongings with them, and they'll have to leave for Saglo before dark. Ulafman, the Giant Bear Chief, said
There were about four or five hundred of these bears in this tribe of bears, and orders were quickly sent to each of them. These four or five hundred Giant Bears have about two hundred Giant Bears hoplites, and the rest are Giant Bears children and old bears and female Bears.
At this time, the cauldron of the tribe was boiling the food we had brought, and each of the giant bears was busy packing up while drooling.
Soon, as evening approached, we all had our last dinner in the tribe.
After dinner, the Minotaur escort led the way with us, and the Bears followed. Leaving the place where they lived, these giant bear people still had some reluctance in their hearts.
We lit torches and walked slowly through the night.
Finally, by the early morning of the next day, we were far from the Giant Bear tribe. While we were resting, we saw that the Giant Bear tribe in the distance was wrapped in the Black Tide, and soon the Black Tide turned the Giant Bear People tribe into a ruin. One can imagine what it would be like if we stayed there.
"We have to pick up the pace, and at this rate the black tide will soon catch up with us. Baturu said to Olafman
So our team picked up speed and headed towards Sagre, never resting along the way. Thankfully, the black tide suddenly disappeared without a trace, otherwise we would have been caught up.
We finally made our way back to Sagre, where Balk met in Olafman in the Chief's Hall, and the Bears temporarily settled in Sagro. Olafman didn't see Victor, and he knew there was something going on. But he had long wanted to return to the City of Warriors, and he was just giving himself a step.
Immediately afterward, Baturu came to tell us that Balk thanked us on behalf of all the orcs. However, their intelligence said that the tribes of the Cyclops in the east were in trouble. If we can help them, they will join us.
Early the next morning, we set off for the Cyclops' residence. This time, it was only Faense who went with Lother and Ivenna, the six of us and Baturu.
After all, it is not clear what is going on with the Cyclops, so the fewer people who go, the better.
Our group set out from Saglo and headed to the Cyclops tribe in the east. Faennes rode side by side with Baturu on the frostwolf, and they were at the front of the group.
"Faense, remember what I told you before?" Baturu glanced at Faense
"Remember, you said that orcs would never saddle their wolf companions. Faennes said
"Think about how many years I've been doing. Baturu said
"yes, it's been so many years. Faennes also sighed
Finally, we came to the place where the cyclops lived. A Cyclops guarding the outside asked us what we were here for.
We told the Cyclops what we were going to do, and the Cyclops told us that their patriarch's child was missing.
You must know that the reproductive ability of cyclops is very poor, so there are only a dozen cyclops in their vein. We understand what it means to them to lose a Cyclops child, so we're going to meet their patriarch.
When we saw this cyclops named Carmon, we couldn't help but become a little depressed as well.
The huge body of the cyclops sat slumped, and Camon's huge eyes were dull and listless.
We went up to talk to him, and he nearly smashed us with the spike stick beside him, but luckily the Cyclops guard stopped us and explained to Carmon what we were here for.
When Carmon heard that we were here to help him find the child, he cheered up. He told us about the day his children were lost, and then he told us that he suspected that his children had been taken by ogres, but that he could not find them.
We listened to what had happened to Carmon, and our minds were roughly the same as his guess, that the child had been captured by an ogre.
So, we immediately set out to find the ogre's traces.
Farnes was on his horse, his expression a little solemn. He seemed to be caught up in some memories, and none of us dared to disturb him.
That year, Farnes, who was only a few years old, was orphaned by years of war. Back then, Baturu was an innocent little orc.
Baturu cried and begged his father to get him one too, because he had a crush on a toy that a human child was holding.
However, Baturu has not seen his father since. Because human laws are extremely harsh on orcs, stealing is punishable by death. Baturu held the toy in his hand, and he witnessed his father being executed by humans on the gallows in the square.
Tears soaked the little orc's heart, and from then on Baturu vowed to avenge his father. The little orcs have since run away from home and live alone in places inhabited by humans. Because he was an orc, he was humiliated by humans.
Until one day, Baturu met Faense. Two lonely little hearts walked together, and they became brothers.
Later, a kind orc herdsman adopted them and raised them. Faense and Baturu fought together and grew together. They grew stronger and stronger, and together they became the personal guards of the Lord of the Moonblade Fortress, and they lived and died for the Lord Lord.
However, every night Baturu could not forget his mission, he wanted to kill this lord to avenge his father.
However, Baturu was unable to do so, because he had fallen deeply in love with the lord's daughter. An orc falls in love with a human and is the daughter of a murderer.
That day, Baturu told his thoughts to the person he had loved for a long time, but he got a word.
You're good, but we're not suitable, and she says she's fallen in love with the Duke's son.
"What's wrong with me just wanting to be a carefree orc? What's wrong with my love of hiccups, farts, and sleeping? I can't be as hypocritical to you as a polite aristocratic son, at least that's how true I am. "Baturu has suffered a big blow to his heart
All this changed because of that incident.
To this day, Baturu never forgets that day.
