Chapter 12: Order and the World

While Miku was busy hunting deep in what is called the calamity canopy, Order appeared above the planet, looking down using his powers to scan for the exact location of the anomaly.

Order Frowned as he gazed at the greenish orange planet. " Strange, I cannot pinpoint the being's exact location." Order sighs" No doubt it is Chaos's doing if he thinks this will stop me, he is wrong once again."

Order then proceeds to the only continent on the planet. There seem to be many islands around the waters of the world, but that was the most significant landmass present. On the continent, he found that it consisted of a giant savanna in the west, a relatively wide mountain range to the north that had a coastal area behind it.

A Prarie to the east had rolling hills, and the occasional mountain further east had a small desert, and in the south had a variety between forests, swamps and bogs, and past all that lay a winter wonderland. In the middle of the continent was a truly massive forest called the Calamity Canopy.

He then headed to the nearest large gathering of terrestrial creatures, intent on observing them to see if the anomaly was among them. As he watches them, something interesting is happening below.

Right in the middle of the large village-like settlement, a crowd of Orcs have gathered around a bowl-like arena to watch the two Giant 7ft tall warriors fight one another.

One of the Orcs is carrying a massive maul, his chest bare as the sun beats down on him, his muscles glistening in the light showing off his physic and brownish skin. The other orc across from him is a stunning woman wielding a giant battleaxe in a nice lion hide bra and shorts.

Her tone, not overly muscular body, is also glistening from the high dry heat of the savanna, its colour a more greenish grey, as she waits for her opponent to make a move, the two of them circling each other.

"Come at me Snakha. You cannot prove you are the better hunt unless you beat me, lunkhead." the female shouts, causing the crowd to get a bit rowdy and making Snakha grit his teeth and fangs in anger before charging.

Snakha, mid-charge, hefts his mighty maul and swings it down towards the female." Then dodge this Yotul, though I doubt you will be able to after all. I will show you that I am the best.

Surprisingly Yotul does indeed dodge the maul with a short spin to the right before jumping at Snakha and swinging at him while he is off balance, but before her axe could make contact, a loud booming voice bellows out.

" Enough, my daughter, it is clear to all here that you have won this challenge." Torgan Ironhide, a massive 9ft tall orc with greenish grey skin tone covered in giant iron armour, walks from behind the crowd.

Yotul stops her swing, her toned muscles bulging slightly; Snakha lowers his head in shame as he knows he has been bested before looking at his Chief. yotul smiles" Father, your back! What brings you here?"

Torgan smiles at yotul " Silly girl, how could I miss my daughter's challenge? You have fought well but tell me what this challenge was about?"

Yotul frowns slightly before replying," Yes of course father; it went like this. I was showing off the new clothes I made after my recent hunt and telling the others how I did it when Snakha came and said that although lovely, he had hunted way better creatures and that he was a better hunter."

"Annoyed at the comment, I challenged him to prove it, and well, you know the result." Torgan thinks for a bit and then laughs after hearing the events. " My daughter, you went about this challenge all wrong."

Both yotul and Snakha tilt their heads in confusion as Torgan continues." What you should have done was a hunting challenge, not a spar, but don't worry because you two have given me a great idea."

Torgan clears his throat before speaking to all that are here." Hear me, my people; I have decided to hold a grand hunt to find the most excellent hunter among our children and to make it fairer; not only will the rules be strict, but the place will be different too."

" The hunt will take place in the Calamity Canopy, and my generals and I will not only oversee but judge to challenge as well." The surrounding Orc's cheer and roar in satisfaction.

Order sighs and starts to float away. " It seems that the anomaly isn't here though I sense that these creatures hold some trace of Chaos."

Order then flew off to the next gathering of terrestrial Creatures who happened to me northeast of the giant savanna up in an extensive mountain range.

As Order got there, he found out that they actually lived beneath the earth and had to use his powers to see through it. There he saw a massive mining tunnel system as well as many forges, but that wasn't all. He also noticed a small mushroom forest with tons of unique animals.

The creatures were Dwarves, 4-5ft tall, not short, but not tall either, their greyish blue skin shining slightly in the minimal light deep in the caverns, and although their skin shined, it also looked rough like sandpaper.

While Order was watching, he saw one creature ordering around a few others. " Come on! Ye stone heads, move yer asses and mine them minerals. We ain't ganna reach our quota at this pace; pick it up.

The dwarf shouting glared at one of the other dwarfs leaning on his pick and chatting with a female dwarf that looked uninterested as she worked. The pit boss dwarf walked over to him and clocked him over the head with an iron-looking shoved the bent and crumpled-on contact with the dwarf's head.

The dwarf in question just looked shocked for a second before turning around to look at the perpetrator before blanching. " I-I'm sorry boss, I won't happen again, I promise."

Jerrot continued to glare before speaking." goddamit, Kharsit, if you mined half as good as you strike out with the ladies, ye would be a damm fine miner." the nearby dwarfs and the female dwarf beside Kharsit started laughing heartily at the comment while Kharsit looked slightly embarrassed.
