Chapter 27 – Goodbye Orcrox (2)

Candles shone in the darkness Tashaquil closed his eyes as he e The fires of the candles shook in accordance with his whispers

Ian was sitting in front of Tashaquil and listening to his voice His mind was elevated, as if he were hypnotized The spirit floated in the air beyond the constraints of the body

“Artani mokaw dom de quakwa bul’tar misaterioak… De’sar quak kisame ilxone qfwfq…”

A bizarre echo shook Ian Ian's spirit sank down into the depths as it followed Tashaquil's voice

At some point, Ian becahts turned towards Ian

Ian looked around There were no candles, no Tashaquil, nothing There were only two eyes staring at him in the darkness Ian faced it Thesucked in, and for endlessly

Ian gritted his teeth At that ht, sixteen pairs of eyes Then dozens and hundreds of eyes gazed at Ian Their outlines were revealed

Ian's eyes widened It was the faces of the warriors Ian spotted Leyteno holding a greatsword He also saw Gloin with an axe The great warriors fro Ian

He then looked at the person closest to him

Lenox Lenox whispered to Ian Ian focused on listening to him However, Lenox's voice was inaudible Ian shook his head Lenox sain Ian still had no idea

Lenox nodded Then Ian extended a fist It was a rough hand covered with the wounds of battle Ian's fist bumped into Lenox's heavy fist

At that ain

……

Ian opened his eyes He was in front of Tashaquil

Tashaquil whispered, “Young orc, what are you seeking?”

Ian’s head became blank Only one word surfaced and filled his head It was engraved into his mind

Honor

“What do you want to achieve?”

Honor

“Why do you walk the path of a warrior?”

Tashaquil looked at Ian, his two eyes staring deeply into Ian's soul Ian couldn't move his body, he couldn't even part his lips One word appeared in his head, and it was his only answer

Honor

His face and body became numb Heat slammed into Ian Ian's face distorted, but he endured the pain He stared at Tashaquil without bending his waist

Honor

Tashaquil whispered,

“Then look into yourself I auardian of the sunrise The pale blue standard bearer who guides the sha journey What is your name?”

Ian tried to ansith his nae sound echoed through his mind It was a word he had heard for the first time

Tashaquil stared into Ian's eyes He s

All the lights went out

“Remember that name”

Tashaquil rose from his position It was a ceremony that seemed to be over in an instant, but also felt like it took a long tiuess how much time had passed His whole body soaked with sweat

Tashaquil walked up to aThat cloth that blocked the sun was reht entered Ian's eyes

The ceremony to become a warrior was over Ian was noarrior

Tashaquil gave so to Ian It was a mirror Ian looked at himself in the mirror

His appearance differed fro an orc warrior ran from his face down to his body He could feel an unknoer running through the tattoos towards the inside of his body

Tashaquil spoke, “Young warrior”

He was in deep sorrow after the death of Lenox, but his eyes were still clear Lenox ht be the one who trained the warriors, but Tashaquil always conducted the cereuide who revealed the way

”What is your name?”

At that point, a nostalgic voice came to mind

'Become a warrior! Then you will receive a new name! So I won't remember your name!'

Ian replied

“My name is…”

Lenox's voice rang in his ears

'Become a warrior!'

The reeon Surprisingly, Hoyt survived

Hoyt had been found bloodied aht he was dead But when they lifted his body toHe had collapsed and his h he was alive, he was unconscious, and wouldn't be able toto the shamans, he wouldn't wake up for a while

The funeral for the warriors was soleathered as a last tribute to Lenox Well known orcs, those who lived in seclusion, and other legendary orcs appeared

The hunter Zankus, who shot down the sun, was the first to arrive He was followed by the mountain smasher kuhterer andorcs Those who came to express their condolences continued without end

The funeral hymns echoed around Orcrox Lenox's steel helrounds where he always yelled He would watch over the warriors there forever
