Barbarians wife

1: To love an orc

Thoren (THOR-EE-N)

I'd waited patiently all throughout the seasons but now as the day grew nearer I began to feel an unrest in myself. Id spent all year creating and sewing together pelts for her, altering and fixing my home to her comfort. I'd learned many human recipes so that she could fill her belly until her hearts content. I worked harder collecting drying and hunting for food them I ever have.

I'd built a house after studying human architect for some some, around 3 mornings away from the village on a grassy hill near a river for her. It'd take less time without stopping so that's what I planned to do.

All for the day I would meet my wife. I wanted nothing more then to take a wife for myself, to bed her, fill her with my seed, and watch as she raised and carried my kit. It was a mere dream until I'd heard that I'd be chosen to take the human girl for myself. Though it's only since been one rotation I've worked hard to create a suitable home for her. Since then I've either worked or entertained myself with fantasy's of what she'd be like.

Many of my brothers think that I've gone mad, they've never had much of a desire to take up a wife for themselves so they wouldn't understand. They were still young so it was understandable. I was the oldest by many years but our population was dying due to the death of many female orcs during childbirth. From the beginning the majority of us were born male, thus leading to the rapid decline of the female population and what we did have we failed to protect. We have no one to blame but our own ignorance.

Our goal was breed with the women of the valley to produce strong orc young but I wanted more then to breed like animals, I wanted a mother for my own litter of young and a wife to love and care for.

It was for this reason I spent the months of cold collecting wood and stone and the months heat collecting pelts leathers meats and berries. It is much deserved as she will carry with her the new generation of orc chil.

I worried much still of what she might think of us and if she'd even be willing but I noticed the valley women often picked based who could best provide.

It's almost foolish to say but I'd gotten my hopes up for one female I'd see in the village. She was strong minded, a great trait to pass to sons, yet gentle. When she wanted something she'd get it. Many hot summer days she worked from when the went sun up until it went back down just to feed her sickly mother. I'd watched her many times she was a fast worker for a Human and never put off work. She never took no for an answer.

If it's something I know about her it's that she loves a challenge and always wins when presented with one. Besides that she was beautiful with sun kissed midnight black skin that was unheard of, her hair stuck out in tight coils that reminded me of wool yet it was raven black. Her beauty and traits were unmatched in the village which is what Makes her so special.

I tossed in my bed waiting for the darkness to finally end and the sun to return. This would be the morning of the choosing. The day I finally got my wife would be today. She'd be well taken care of and wouldn't have to lift a finger once I got her. Although I want to wait some time for her to mature to carry my young I wouldn't wait to late. She'd spend the end of her youth carrying my litter and her years of maturity would be spent raising them along side me.

It was useless to try and sleep so I tended to the house in areas it needed them took a great amount of time cleaning my self. Hygiene was always a huge concern of humans and I did not wish to make her uncomfortable. After a long time spent cleaning myself the sun began to rise so I quickly dried myself and found more work. This time I'd be checking and preparing the food.

Once the sun was finally directly above me I decided to depart.

It was not much later until I reached the outskirts of the village. The village was surrounded by mountains covered in trees so I choose a high point and concealed myself within them. They were still setting up the parade. The one they had before surrendering one of their females to us at nightfall. The whole village was consumed in chaos, shouting, arguing, and just the noises of every human there consumed the village and the land around it.
