"Fool," A large muscular Urik stood up, his leather mask with the White Hand of Sauramon marked on it," You let them escape?" Another Urik looked back, his teeth bared," Know your place rat, I am in no mood for your shit," This Urik obviously their leader, he had no mask, his skin gray, his features monstrous, he picked up his large two handed sword, its tip curved and rusty," Do you see this? Scathe yourself or I shall rip your head off!" The other Urik growled then hunched back down, knowing he had no grounds.
In the distance a large group of figures came shuffling across the plain, Tira could tell these were orcs, they moved close to the ground, their backs hunched and they were smaller than the Uriks. The Uriks stood up, their leader walking through the group, the orcs stopped in front of them as the orc leader walked forth. "Have you found them yet?" His voice scratchy, almost a hiss."Or do you waist to much time on your drooling?" The Urik held his head up and narrowed his eyes," Do not come here to insult us, I have told you before, you shall receive what you seek, in time.." Tira thought to herself," I wonder who it is they want!"
She looked back again, waiting for any hint at what they were talking about. "Where did you last see them?" The orc asked," Tell us now or must we take it out of your hides?" The Urik roared, causing the other Uriks to jump to their feet, they to began to roar, "If its a war you want, its a war you'll get!" The orcs lowered their heads, ready to go head to head with the Uriks, when a large battle axe cut into one of the Urik's back, it roared, turning around to see his attacker.
They all turned to see a volley of Goblins dashing toward them, their dull green skin clothed with sharp curving armor, though they were smaller than even the orcs, they seemed intent on the killing of them all. The Uriks roared again, then charged forward, the orcs snarled and drew their swords. They crashed together as they began to hack each other to pieces, the goblins screaming and spitting, their numbers equal to the orcs and Uriks combined. Tira watched with fascination at the battle, whoever wins this should surely be strong enough to provide Nightmare with a new body.
But her fascination was cut short as a sword was held up to her neck, a foul voice spoke from behind," Such a lovely human female, do the orc fools garner your interest?" It was a goblin, his skinny arm wrapped around her waist, she reached for her weapon when the blade against her throat tightened," No miss, we cannot be having that now." He threw her back, she felt her weapon slip passed her grip as she fell into the grasping hands of the goblins," Have your fun boy's, she is a young one!"
The other goblins laughed and began to tear her cloths off, their unusually long tongues running up and down her body, Tira gritted her teeth and began to punch and kick at her attackers, the goblins stood back, surprised at the girl's thrashing. She quickly got to her feet and ran for Aisel Nedrossel, her beloved ring blade, she swung it up, blocking a small sword from severing her neck.
She twirled Aisel around, cutting into three of the goblins that stood in around her, the others snarled and charged, she easily blocked and countered, most of the goblins fell on the ground dead or dying. "Hah!" Tira smiled at the goblins," You tried to have me, but it is I who have had you!" She laughed and walked out of the tree line, her adrenaline flowing, she felt she could kill anything.
The orcs, Uriks and the goblins fought ferociously, many lay dead on the ground, the sounds of clashing iron and roars filled the air, the Urik leader cut his way through the legions of goblins and orcs, blood covered his face. He severed many heads as he walked slowly, almost calmly through the carnage. Tira focused her eyes on him, watching his form as he swept through the battlefield.
The goblins were defeated, the wounded had escaped, as had the orcs, but the Uriks still stood strong, they held their weapons high into the air, roaring victoriously. Tira walked into the battlefield, her ring blade shining under the moonlight, the Uriks felt her presence, they all turned and gazed upon the small girl with torn cloths, their eyes yellow, filled with anger.
"Human whore, what do ye want here," The Urik leader roared," must we leave your dead body mutilated here too?" Tira smiled slightly, she touched her top lip with her tongue, her teeth white, her eyes seductive. The Urik grew angry, he felt the human female was mocking them, the other Uriks were about to charge when he said," No, I shall deal with this piece of shit myself.." He lifted his sword and walked toward Tira, beating his chest and roaring.
Tira stood back, pulling Aisel close, ready to test the Urikai leader, his first blow came vertical, his blade smashing into the dirt where Tira once stood, now back flipping, she instantly countered, the ring blade planted into the dirt, she swung herself through it, her legs smashing into the Uriks chest, he stumbled back, but not falling to his back. He growled, rushing forward, his sword swinging horizontal, Tira held Aisel up, parrying the blow, she looped it around, cutting the Uriks head off, his body taking a step then falling to the ground, dark blood pouring from the neck.
Tira's face went instantly to anger, another waisted effort, these monsters were of no use. She screamed," The strongest of you is so weak, even a little girl could kill him? Uriks must all be killed!" The Uriks, angered by her remark, charged forward, they held their weapons high as they bared down onto the small girl. Tira backed up, her pink eyes watching them as they came, she was nearly perfect in one on one battles, however a huge group she could not fight, she turned to escape into the trees when a chain was thrown around her neck, it tightened then yanked back, she was pulled off her feet, the surprise of the chain causing her to lose grip of Aisel.
A huge Urik lifted the chain up, it still wrapped around her neck, he brought her face to face with his, the whites of her eyes beginning to turn red, her veins popped out of her neck, she struggled to relinquish the chains hold. The Urik laughed," The little whore has been subdued, what must we do with this morsel boys?" The other Uriks laughed as they began to shout, " Kill her!" Others shouted," She looks healthy, lets sell her to the wildmen!" More still shouted," We haven't had anything to eat, let us devour her so to replenish our bellies!" The Urik holding her chain close, he spoke," Well little worm, you heard their demands, but I think I have a better use for you..."
