Dwarves fight for tenacity

What do you fight for?

______________________________________________

"May you find your way into the Hall of the Warrior"

With this sentence as farewell, all young orcs are thrown out into the world. May they be sons or daughters of chieftains, grunts, warriors, shamans or craftsmans.

______________________________________________

Grhunk is watching the prey, stalking it so that it shows him the way to it's nest, securing that way enough food to last for a while.

______________________________________________

He had been thrown out into the world for a week already, and he had barely survived two encounters with wild beasts, with one of them costing him a large scar from under his right eye to his right shoulder.

The funny thing is that the other wild beast had been a lot closer to taking his life, leaving him with a little stab dangerously near his jugular vein.

That said, he was lucky enough to be alive, because a tenth of the young orcs had already died, half of them falling to their ineptitude and the other to predators.

Turning back to the present...

Grhunk has already found the den of the little prey, catching about a dozen little doggos, which make for perfect sustenance, as their meat does not need preservation to last a long time before going bad.

After securing the food, it's time to get a safe sleeping space. A place where he can get some rest without having to kill the previous owner of the space.

After looking around for more o less an hour, he finds a hollow tree, better described as a huge hollow tree, capable of accomodating even a big scary orc. Not that Grhunk is scary....Yet.

After making himself at home inside the tree, he starts thinking about the way he should work around his objective.

Having 10 life and death battles and coming up as the winner and survivor of these so he can earn the favour of the World.
