Chapter Two
He crept under bushes.Climbed trees,jumped over crevices,crawled down steep ravines, and still he continues on ward. He Must find this girl. He is near he knows it.His master have made it clear in his mind link that the girl must be caught. The Master's life would be in danger if this girl escapes. He have to capture this girl dead or alive.
Orth was thinking by himself.Master have been kind to him.Master have many different pets but master chooses him. Master trust him. For Orth this is one of his Master's many games. Master would send him mind links and he would obey. He would give chase to who ever master wants him to capture and he always caught it.,Usually dead. But today its different. Always master let him run ahead. Everytime they play the master would just let him do the chase but not today. Today the master leads. The master would let him run ahead but always will call him back. And he obeys, he always do come back. He knows the master would not like it when he dont come back in a hurry. And when the master is not satisfied he would not let him play for a long time. Master would put him in a cage if he did not obey. And master will play with his other pets. He envy those other pets when master takes them out. For Orth , He is much capable of doing what the master wants. He can do it faster and quicker.Those who have seen Orth would be really terrified. He was seven feet tall a head as big as the rubber ball that plains folk play with by putting it inside a hanging basket.The old world called it Basketball. His teeth as sharp as knives.His shoulder and arms are massive and muscular.thick hair covers the arms up to his clawed fingertips. His hands were big and can crush a human skull in just an instant. He have the strongest and thickest chest that he beats when he is challenged. He is some how a resemblance of a big ape but He is far from that.His tongue is long and snake like split in two at the tip,and the needle like tip shoots poison. He was one of the few remaining Gorakudas. He leaped from the fallen log he was on and landed softly on his big padded feet that was supported by his sturdy legs. He was back to where his master was waiting. His master have a game for him. That was why the master called him back. This game was much better than the man he found under the oak tree a little farther to where he was tracking earlier. He did not bother to inform the master because the master wants him to catch the big cat. To him this is much fun. Those cats are fast and tricky and he enjoys the chase. unlike humans that have seen him ,all of which are dead now,this is more fun. Orth have already forgotten about the man because he became excited on the new found game. And he began the chase. Soon it will be dark.and this game will be much easier for him.For Orth lives in the dark he is a creature from the dark. And darkness is Orth's friend.And his master knows it.
Sukhar ,Orth's master was a low class mage of the dark arts. He was given the task to gather the blood of the last gifted,from the bloodlines of the heroic druids of old. The Xylson's.
The blood would help them resurrect their Lord and give them all immortality.That is why he is ready to face death with this task.He knows of the possibility of failure but he believes,that even if he fails,there will be others after him and when they succeed,he and all those who died before him will again be risen as immortals.And together they will all rule throughout the lands.The chase didn't take very long. Orth came back to his master carrying the big animal. It was a wild boar.
To Orth all animal that ran on fours are cats.
His master took out the knife and stub the animal in the neck. took out a flask and filled it with it's blood. Orth did not understand the need to do that. For him the animal was dead already, he made sure of that when he caught it. He swooped it down from the tree he climbed onto and instantly broke it s neck and skull in just one swift motion that it was not even able to make a sound.
Then the master cut a portion of the meat and started a fire and roasted it. the rest was given to him. The spoils of the game . He hurriedly ate it.And it was almost midnight.
