Fighting Heavenly Heth 2

Drake and Heth once again ran at each other, resolve on both of their faces. Both of them smiled as they fought, they were truly enjoying this fight! Heth swung his halberd at Drakes shoulders but Drake dipped down low, and stabbed his spear straight up, almost penetrating Heths chin.

Heth jumped back and yelled out,"Cocky fucker!"

Drake rushe forwards and while swinging yelled back,"What can I say?" The two collided and indented the ground with their combined pressure once more. "I'm too prideful for my own good!" He stepped back and stabbed his spear out in quick succession. Heth noticed this and instead of dodging swung his own halberd. Drake spiked Heth shoulder and tried to dodge the halberd, however couldn't full dodge it and his right hand got chopped into pieces by Heths halberd.

Feeling the immense amount of pain he quickly said,"General, stop my brain from processing the pain!" Before General could respond Drake quickly swung his spear downwards and slashed against the line deep into Heths chest. Heth yelled out in pain, and Drake took advantage and swung at his left foot, cutting into a deep section of the ankle.

Heth, in retaliation, Swung his halberd by the blunt side and smashed it against Drake's right hip, almost shattering his hip bones. Drake tossed aside his spear and yelled out,"How about hand to hand!?"

Heth smiled menacingly and replied,"Now we're talking!!" Heth also threw his halberd down and both men charged at each other once more.

Drake swung upwards with his remaining left arm, summoning as much aura as he could. Heth punched downwards with his right fist, also summoning his own unique energy. The two fists collided and this time the pressure made some of the crowd watching throwup. The energy surrounding the two fighters collided and although Drake seemed to be weaker than Heth, his energy was nearly double that of Heths.

One of the older orcs in the crowd slowly stepped forwards, and all of the other orcs cleared the way for him. The older orc could feel the pressure coming from the two and he smiled as he watched the two fools smile and laugh while they essentially fought to the death. As an elder of a warrior species he had been in many battles and won or survived them all. This was the nature of the orcs, not the humans, who preferred to be greedy and lustful more than anything. However the elder looked at Drake but even to his trained senses he could tell, the man in front of them was enjoying this fight!

Right as they were about to impact each other once more, the elder raised his hand and said,"Halt!" In a booming voice. Both fighters were stopped in their tracks, as both Drake and Heth felt dangerous intent coming from the voice of the elder orc. The elder continued,"The third test has been completed! The winner is Drake Silver the human!"

That was when the crowd noticed that Drake's team had two flags on their side of the field! Drake smiled and looke at Heth, holding his remaining left hand out for a handshake and chuckling,"Truce?"

Heth was still shocked and said,"I don't understand, your team never moved just like mine, how did you do it?"

Drake shrugged and said,"I tricked you. I knew the only way to win would have a distraction big enough where you focus almost all your attention on me. The three orcs I brought with me all have good abilities that you just never thought about using in a battle. You may know what every orc here has in terms of abilities and strength, but it seems you never put a lot of them to good use."

Heth growled and said,"Spit it out, how did you win? It just doesn't seem possible!"

Drake laughed and called his team over. He said to Heth,"Heth, this is Jun. She can create a clone of herself that lasts for 10 minutes. This is Kri, she can make things invisible, which she did to Jun's clone. Finally, here is Prosp, who can use limited magic spells to empower strength or in this case haste and silent step spells."

Heth blinked at this explanation and then laughed out loud, saying"I would have never thought of that combination in a thousand years! Great job Drake! Not only have you passed all the tests, but you even passed my own personal test!" After which he bowed and took a knee on his broken leg. He continued,"I, Heth of the Orugini Clan, submit myself to the venerable known as Drake Silver."

Drake nodded his head and replied back,"I accept your submission and I hereby promise to always try to do right by your people. They will always be in good hands from this day forward!"

The elder walked up to the two and said,"Sir Silver, ah my apologies, Lord Silver, surely you must have a reason to come here, tell me, what do you wish for us to do now?"

Drake reached into his inventory and pulled out two healing spells ripping up his own and handing the other to Heth who did the same. Once both men were fully healed he replied,"Greetings, senior. I have to ask you all to stay here for at least 2 more months. There is a place I must go to save some people. When I save them, I will be sending them here first as most of them will not be able to fight by my guesses."

Heth quickly asked,"Who do you need to save?"

Drake then sighed and said,"The elves.."

Both the Elder and Heth exclaimed,"What?!" at the same time. However Heth let the Elder speak first, and the elder continued, saying,"Drake, we orcs are one thing but the elves are notorious racists! They would never follow your rule! They would rather die than have a human save them!"

Drake nodded his head and said,"I know, however that does not mean I cannot allow such a tragedy to befall those people just because I don't agree with their culture. A true man does not save only those he deems worthy, a true man saves all that he can."

The Elder and Heth were a little stunned at those words and Heth whispered to himself,"What a beautiful saying.."

Drake smiled and lied to them, saying,"Thank you, I just thought of it, but those are my feelings towards this matter." This was a lie, this was actually something that a paladin in the top rankings in his last life had said when asked about a refugee crisis that happened in one of his cities. At the time, it was such a widespread sentence that it became something of a motto to his city.

Drake then asked the two orcs,"I am sorry to do this so suddenly but I need something of value to trade in the city so I can properly equip myself, is there anything you have?"

Heth had no idea, but the Elder thought about it for a moment and then he said,"Give me a moment." The elder then left them and came back about two minutes later, holding something wrapped in a cloth.

Drake looked at the elder as he stepped back up to the other two people. He said to Drake, this is an ore that we found in a secret chest. The chest was found among a merchant caravan that had a huge amount of security, however that did not stop the war of pirates and thieves vs the knights of house Cole. In the end only a few thieves were left standing after the battle, and that was when we orcs came in and finished up those bastards. I do not know what this is, however for them to guard it so heavily, both me and the other two elders have concluded that it is very valuable and thus we kept it. Please take it."

The elder handed the cloth to Drake and Drake unwrapped the mystery package, and almost dropped it in surprise when he saw what it was.
