Chapter 38- Planning
Gorlo's eyes widen with deep surprise that he fell back into his seat. He looked at his large hands and the rubes that covered them and at Rath Gul. The blackorges was shining with gold as he flexed his power and mana.
"Gorlo is…half giant?"
"Yes my brother Gorlo, this is apparent from the runes on our body. They are a natural marking and power from the ancient Giant that sometimes pass onto us the descendants, Orges." replied Rath as his runes dimmed down completely.
Rath Gul walked over and put a hand on Gorlo's shoulder. "Join me brother and I can promise you, together, we will be the strongest duo in Eldoria's existence."

************************
Tru exited the bath and put on his clothes before walking out the hut. A few feet outside the hut he saw Nork who was in full health carrying a few Yellow Eaters on his shoulder.
Nork dropped the magical beasts and walked up to Tru who was relieved to see him. Nork knelt before Tru while he bowed his head.
"Thank you for taking me from such a humiliating defeat." said Nork.
Tru looked at the kneeling elder orge and shrugged before helping him to his feet. "I don't really care much for pleasantries so I'll get to the point."
Nork nodded and understood and picked up the Yellow Eaters and brought them into the hut. Tru followed behind him silently, entering into the hut.
"Forgive me for leaving but I can't lie when I saw a large orge like me has to eat. I also figured you wouldn't be out for long so I didn't go to far. Now what is it that you want from me?"
Tru was taken aback by the quick change in Nork's tone but said nothing. He looked at th large grey Ogre before sitting down.
"I want information." said Tru.
"Information? On what exactly?"
"On Eagle Gold, on Rath Gul, on you, anything and everything that can help me when I return to fight him." explained Tru while his amber eyes glowed in the dim tent.
The look on his face even caused Nork to feel a little unsettled and caused him to avoid contact with them. He sighed deep before turning back and skinning the beasts.
"I see. You are to fight Rath Gul for the right to rule Eagle Gold. I will tell you now he will not be an easy opponent even for an Ifrit."
Tru's eyes widen and his mana aura roared covering his body. 'He seems to know more that he lets on" said Wrath
'Yes but how does he know—"
"It matterssss noooooot, he knoooowsss tooo much. KILL HIIIIIIMM!"
The whispers caused Tru's head to start hurting and he collapsed to the ground. Nork ran over and helped back to his seat. Shortly after the pain disappeared but that hateful feeling remained.
"I apologize" said Nork "I did not mean say anything to upset you." Tru looked at his and used Ifrit's Mana soul and could tell from Nork's heartbeat that he was being sincere.
Tru waved his hand and took in a deep breath. "It's fine nothing you did but the things that I asked?"
"Right, yes. I challenged Rath Gul because he is conspiring with dark forces to overthrow the Orge king, Krim. Not only that but he killed and humiliated my son as he did me when he challenged him!"
Nork's expression twisted as he clenched his fist. Tru could see the hurt and anger on his face and couldn't help but feel angry himself.
"LIIIIIAAAAR, KILLL HIIIIM!"
Tru closed his eyes as the whispers resounded loudly draining out all sound. It caused his heart to beat quickly but he calmed himself.

Tru rubbed his head out of aggaravation before jumping to his feet. "Fine fine, I don't need anything more from you. I'll kill Rath and become lord." said Tru with a sigh.
Nork's face changed to that of joy that he could almost just for joy. He stood and bowed before getting back to the magical beast.
"I shall cook you up a great meal lord, uh what is your name?"
"Tru. Also it is not needed but I will be leaving for some personal stuff. I will be back later, I can trust you can take care of yourself?"
Nork nodded quickly and watched as Rey walked out the hut. He the remembered something and ran after him. He quickly caught up to him and stopped him.
"Wait lord Tru, I almost forgot."
Tru's face scowled with annoyance as he watched the elderly ogre try and catch his breath. "Ok what is it?"
"It's that many of the magical beast la has been on edge when I went out. That an I hear the cries of a large beast, it sounds furious."
Tru cursed himself as he realized Nork was referring to the Grand Basilisk. Tru nodded before walking off.
"Worry not Nork I will take care of it."
Nork heard Tru, loud and clear but did not believe him as he watched his savior back disappear into the forest.
Tru walked for a bit and realized he only saw very few magical beasts in the forest.

Tru looked over his missions and rolled his eyes as he closed the window. He trotted through the forest peacefully pondering what his next goal will be.
Wrath could sense his discomfort and the uneasiness in his quiet attitude. "What is bothering you? Surely it's not what Nork said is it?" asked Wrath.
"No, it has nothing to do with Nork. Mainly this fight with Rath Gul, my missions and what I'm going to do going forward." explained Tru with a deep sigh.
He found a nearby try and quickly climbed it with Blasphemy as she surveyed the area. He saw buried a flying in the sky but noagical beasts roamed the land of any.
*DING*
"You have acquired the skill Climbing(Passive)- Rank B"
Tru rolled his eyes and sat done on a branch as he looked over the green ocean of trees and vegetation. He felt a great peace as the sun shined on him and warmed his skin.
"Tru I know you have lot on your plate but you do have a lot of work to do and I'm sorry but I have to add to that plate."
"Uuuuuggh what is it now" snapped Tru.
"You need more training and I think this will help you the most in the fight with Rath Gul." explained Wrath.
Tru could not help but feel a bit interested in this new training, especially since Wrath said it'd be the best thing for him. "Ok what would that be?"
"You need to learn Primal Speech."
