Animals cried for help, the red sky was beginning to fall, fire burned the fields but they were still fighting strong, Orcs, thousands of them were trying to defend their city as the trolls attempted to storm the walls, magic began to leak through it looked like the end for Orgrimmar.
The wolves' cries were loud, louder than the raging battle. A strange power overwhelmed the trolls making it difficult for the Orcs to even take down one.
"Sir", said a warrior as he ran into his master's halls "we've lost hundreds, their too powerful".
The only sound was that of the battle as the hall stood silent. "Are the children and their mothers safely in thunder bluff"? The master asked. The warrior just gave a silent nod.
"Master Reecorax, what are you thinking"? The warrior asked as Reecorax had blanked out. He opened his eyes widely and stood staring deeply at the warrior with massive eyes.
"Is this it"? He asked. The warrior looked puzzled.
"Is this what, sir"?
"It's been passed on through ages" he said as he ran through to the next hall, the warrior followed and watched as Reecorax picked up a stone tablet and read it aloud.
"Come the day" Reecorax began "that the sky burns red and the ground shakes beneath your feet, that evil again walks the land". The warrior stood and listened curiously "we have experienced this before"? asked Reecorax to the rock "you need to defeat the monster and seal it in another realm where it will return hundreds of years from now to wreck havoc once again" Reecorax looked puzzled again "there's no more" he shook the rock in an attempt to pull more information out of it.
"So, what do we do"? Asked the warrior "do we seal it in another realm"? Reecorax began to shake. The warrior backed away slowly hoping to escape before his master yells.
"No"! He yelled "We cannot let this monster spread again. I see this as an opportunity". The warrior began to look startled and scared.
"An opportunity, sir what do you suggest, we stop it pull its power from within its soul for us to use in war"?
"Ah, as always you get the right answer every time" Reecorax began to smile and bare his yellow fangs, the warrior froze in fright.
"Sir, are you mad? Hundreds of years ago were when we were all pure bred war machines designed for one purpose, war and now, now we stand no chance of bringing it down".
"I'll do it" said Reecorax placing the stone back in its place.
"Sir that doesn't change a thing, you may be more powerful but your no match for what was described on the tablet".
"I have lately got more power than you can imagine, the power of my son" Reecorax looked to the ceiling, water droplets forming in his eye "I watched him be the first to fly away from the city and he looked at me from the tower and, right there and then we both knew this was the last time we would meet" Reecorax rubbed his eyes "I know in my heart, my son will live to an old age, and if that is what I leave for him" he pointed out the hall where the yells where still echoing through the empty city "then I would die with shame, I can't let that happen" he grabbed an axe and a shield off the wall and began to walk outside "goodbye Tamarisk" he said as he walked past him.
"Wait sir" Reecorax paused as Tamarisk spoke "who will hold the power of evil" Reecorax began to laugh and turned around, his face quickly became grim.
"My son will, he can control it" Tamarisks eyes darkened and looked horrified before bowing his head.
"As you wish, sir" he said.
"Tamarisk" shouted Reecorax "take good care of them. Don't tell him what has been placed inside him until he grows up".
"As you wish, sir" Reecorax smiled and turned his head to the wall, the ground began to shake like steps walking toward the town. A fifty foot wolf raised his head and began to snarl into the town, the Orcs defending Orgrimmar looked up and gaped, the trolls then began to sneak in one by one.
"Well", said Reecorax "that's my cue". He waved to Tamarisk, who still looked surprised of the wolf, and jumped into the air being caught by his dragon, fire drew the wolf from the citizens of the town to the attention of Reecorax. He raised his axe as it glowed blue shining a blue pyramid around the wolf, the dragon dropped Reecorax into the pyramid.
"Your free friend" he whispered as the dragon took off to the sky. The wolf was trapped but so was Reecorax, he raised his axe again as it glowed green and placed his sword in front "this spell will kill me as you shall live" he answered to the snarls and growls "mortrak amvar azulé Fortlek" shouted Reecorax. The trolls had already sneaked in and held the Orcs to the wall, swords against their green neck. The wolf howled and shrank into a small blue ball and sped off through the pyramid in the direction of Thunder Bluff, Reecorax shrank to his knees and felt his eyes cover his watery eyes, his last breath whispered in the ears of all Orcs and trolls "Take care, Orgrimmar" the trolls stopped and looked around wondering what happened.
"Trolls" shouted the army "What happened"?
"We don't know" they replied.
"I'll tell you what happened" came a voice. It was Tamarisk looking around with anger in his eyes "our master, Reecorax, gave his life to break the trolls from their spell, the wolf will never walk the earth free again, Orgrimmar is in debt to this powerful Shaman" his eyes flicked over the trolls "he saved you" his eyes flicked over the Orcs "he saved you. He saved everyone, this day shall be the day of Reecorax, we shall call it the day of the Shaman and the Orcs are soon to regain their full power". The trolls and Orcs looked around with horror before one yelled.
"For Reecorax" each of them joined in raising their axes or shooting beams of magic into the air.
"Thank you, master Reecorax" whispered Tamarisk, you have saved us all.
