Orko: The Great Ringbearer

Chapter 5

It had been a few weeks since the field trip, and now it was summer on Trolla and things were starting to unwind and relax. Orko knew now the kids who were too young to graduate were not out of school for the summer. Orko woke up that morning ready to seize the day.

Orko was thinking about a few things at breakfast. "Everything alright boy?" Montork asked.

"Yes I know I got the oracle ring and I am a ringbearer, I know I have a lot to learn," Orko said. "I also know have a lot expectations now from everybody," he said. "I also know that I will be expected to do something really great," he said. "I doubt I can ever live up to that," he said.

"I can understand that lad," Montork said. "You are under pressure because of this which I can see," he said.

"I sure am," Orko said.

"How about you go out on the town today? You know do shopping, look around, hang out with your friends, and have some food," Montork said. "That might get your mind of what is bothering you," he said.

"That sounds like a great idea I will give both Snoob and Squonge a call," Orko said.

Then a bit later Orko, Snoob and Squonge were hanging out. Then Pelvon and Arkia came up to them a bit later. "Hello nice to see you here," Orko said. "Do you think this town is to your liking?" he asked.

"It is very nice," Arkia said.

"Hey Orko remember something?" Pelvon asked. "I challenged you to duel for the next time we saw each other?' he said.

"Oh yeah," Orko said. "Let's got to that big clearing that is where all the wizards in town do their duels for sport," he said.

They made it to the clearing.

The sheriff came up. "Hello what is going on?" sheriff Umpty asked.

"A Wizard duel for sport is about to happen," Squonge answered.

"I see I will have the guard set up a barrier." Umpty said.

"Okay I will referee this match," Snoob said. "Now how long do you want this duel to be?" he asked.

"Will eight minutes be fine with you?" Orko asked Pelvon.

"Fine with me," Pelvon said.

"Okay call it heads or tails?" Snoob asked with a coin.

"Heads," Orko said.

"Tails," Pelvon said.

Snoob flipped the coin. "Tails, Pelvon gets the first attack," Snoob said. "Alright wizards to your positions." he said.

Orko and Pelvon got into their positions and summoned their wands.

"Now duel begin!" Snoob said.

"See what you think of this," Pelvon said sending a lighting bolt Orko's way.

Orko manage to ground himself a take a hold of the bolt and lassoed it. "Be careful of your first attack because you never know how your opponent will counterattack." Orko said lassoing the lighting around Pelvon.

"Ouch!" Pelvon said.

Arkia was seeing Orko's magic strength. Oh boy Pelvon's got himself in a doozy. Arkia thought.

Pelvon and Orko snapped various spells of different elements and styles at each other. "Look at that so exciting!" an on looker said.

"So cool," said another.

Pelvon felt so frustrated as Orko seemed to turn things around everything time. "Let me see what you think of this!" Pelvon said and punch Orko in the gut.
