Part 1
In a time long gone, there was two great lands of Mountain dwelling Ogres, ruled by Champion Thrak and his wife Sheega, and Plain dwelling Men, ruled Lord Grey and his Lady White
They were all just rulers, but there were often wars and strife between the two races whenever they met.
So, when both Lady White and Sheega were bitten by venomous serpents and fell ill, suspicion naturally fell on the other race. Lord and Champion rode to war against each other, hoping to prise the cure from their foe at swordpoint.
They met on a battlefield of dead grass during the hottest day of the Summer, and each led one hundred warriors against the other...
Eventually, only Thrak and Grey remained, all their warriors dead beside them. No one can say who would have been the winner, for at that moment, a bolt of thunder emerged from the clear sky in between them. The fighters paused at the omen, and sheathed their weapons, for a moment.
Lord Grey let fly the obvious accusation. Thrak denied. They both said that *his* wife has suffered a similar fate, and he was also fighting to cure her. The two warriors were able to confirm this-both had brought their loves to their respective camps.
With the powers of both Man-priests and Ogre-Shamans, the real culprit was divined-it was the the Great Mother, of the Orc people, who had been banished for her crimes against all. Her plan had been to set the two people to destroy one another, and let Nature reclaim the burned homes and shattered corpses that would follow.
Part 2
The two warriors agreed to work together. They set out to confront her, but they knew she was powerful-they would need the help of the Orcs to find and defeat her.
They split again-one of them earned the respect of Okus, the Axe-Brother, and received a powerful blade from him, one capable of withering the life water from those it struck-it was the only weapon the Great Mother feared, but it could only be drawn once.
The other earned the respect of Neega, Shadow-Sister, and obtained from her a magical hand mirror. No ladies vanity tool, it could reveal the truth.
Together, the two Orc siblings-estranged though they were, convinced the Great Father to reveal the location of the Great Mothers den to the two heroes.
Part 3
Lord Grey and Champion Thrak, along with their artifacts, confronted the Great Mother in her Wolf Den-together, and they charged and defeated the one-hundred and one Black Wolves that were her guardians. When they faced her, she admitted to everything, and claimed to never reveal the cure to them...they attacked her at that moment, thinking all hope was lost.
The Great Mother used her magic to turn them into one of them into a Sheep, and one of them into a Wolf, so that one would destroy the other-but the mirror they gained showed their true selves allowing them to remain whole, and they returned to their natural forms. The Mirror broke in the battle to come, but they won-Blade and Axe smote as one, and where one hero would have fallen, two succeeded.
Thrak then prepared to kill the Great Mother in his grief and rage-but Lord Grey stopped him, reminding him of the Withering Blade, which he had wisely saved. It struck fear into Great Mothers heart, and she revealed to them the cure of their wives sickness-the poisoned blood of her counterpart. The Blade withered into nothing soon after it was unsheathed, as predicted.
Thus, were the realms and loves of both Lord and Champion saved, and the Great Mother humbled. Ogre and Man, for a short while, lived in peace. Though nothing lasts forever, a lesson was learned-even your greatest enemy can be your friend, if the need is great.... /end
Finshing, the Ogress nods.
Molten Heart concentrates and speaks to Claystone.
((@IronyOwl:It's technically impossible to mind blast a Spirit-especially a nature Spirit-it's like trying to attack the ocean with a gun-your just wasting bullets. Now, a Priest or a Shaman, or even a true Magicka user like Darvi was, could attack it indirectly.
Also, the other comparison I can give you is an ant trying to lift the sun. :U
@Serious: Nope. There's just one big river running through the whole jungle, and you guys passed it on the bridge. You got the right track though-Adwarfs in trouble, but he had a good chance to get away if he hides his scent somehow.))
