He Man Victory

Chapter 25 Making Friends

Orko was glad there was another Trollan on Eternia now. True his friends came here once and they were trying to find a way to visit again thanks to that orb. But now he was getting to know Dree Elle. She was a song mage who the horde had imprisoned and was forcing to sing song spells for evil. She was feeling very scared and unsure a lot of the time. But Orko was trying his best to be a good friend to her. He could see she was very lovely and felt something he wasn't to sure what it was. 

Damien teased him that he had a crush. Orko didn't appreciate that too much. "Orko she probably isn't feeling in the mood for something like that given what she has been through," Man at arms said.

"I am aware of that fact and to be honest I do feel in the mood for romance myself," Orko said. "I had pretty bad break up because the girl was only pretending to be interested in me to learn about me to help a group of evil Trollans she worked for," he said. "So in other words I still don't feel ready for that kind of thing," he said. "Plus every girl I ever dated or showed interest in broke my heart," he said. "So given my history with it I don't want to risk more heartbreak," he said.

"I understand completely Orko, but shouldn't keep running from love because you are afraid of being hurt," Man at arms said.

"I know my uncle told me that feeling anything even if it is pain is better than feeling nothing and told me that stopping myself from feeling love won't help anybody," Orko said. "But I am still scared about putting myself out there again," he said. "These feelings just began so I just want to wait see you know, I just don't want to take any risk right now," he said.

"I understand I am going to make sure you won't get teased again by my apprentices okay?" Man at arms said.

"Okay," Orko said.

Dree Elle finally after resting for several days was feeling better. First the first few days Dree Elle used a note pad to talk to others. She simply wrote down what want to say, or what she was thinking, or feeling.

"Okay Dree Elle try talking," Man at arms said. "It has been ten days without talking so let's see how you are doing now," he said. "Just take it nice and slow," he said.

"Remember listen to Man at arms I trust him to look after me when I am not well okay?" Orko said.

"Okay Orko," Dree Elle said. Her voice sounded nice and strong.

"Very good," Man at arms said. "I would advice you to still take it easy," he said. "You are still underweight from what Orko has explained to me and that you haven't had much rest during your time as a horde captive," he said.

"Yes," Dree Elle said. "Will I be able to sing?" she asked.

"Maybe but I advice you not to sing for a while still, your voice is still recovering, you maybe able to talk to now, but if you start singing right away you might damage your vocal cords badly and might need an operation," Man at arms said. "I have preformed many surgeries on humans and even animals, but I have never preformed surgery on a Trollan," he said. "I am grateful Orko and his family who sometimes visits gave me books to understand you Trollans bodies and medicine, so I just want to tell you that it probably won't be an easy task for me to say the least," he said.

"Okay," Dree Elle said. She sounded a bit disappointed. "What is good use is a song mage that can't sing?" she asked.

"Song mage?" Man at arms asked.

"A magician who casts spells and magic through music," Orko said. "They do it through special spells called song spells, they can do it through just an instrument, or song, or both." he said.

"Yes it depends on what song mage prefers, I can do both, but unfortunately I left most my instruments on Trolla, I managed to keep my instruments well hidden on myself from the horde." Dree Elle said. "But if I must wait before I can preform song spells again, I guess I can be patient," she said. "How long do I have to wait before you think I should try to sing again?" she asked.
