The Forgotten Chieftain's Wife Chapter 15
After what Garona already told them she was immediately put through an interrogation. The only thing she really gave up is the location where this Orc army is hiding.
The Black Morass.
While this was good the real information they were trying to get is more data on Lyanna. Much to their dismay Garona refused to divulge anything further on the subject of her. So Garona was escorted down to the King's private prison leaving the others to converse over what they had learned this day.
King Llane and Lady Taria had already excused themselves leaving Lothar, Varis, Karos and a couple of others behind.
Stroking a hand over the tip of his beard in contemplation, Lothar said "The Black Morass."
Skeptical, Varis said "You believe her?"
No, not really. But then again what else did they really have to go on?
"It's all we have to go on. What do you think," said Lothar, blunt, wishing to know their own opinions on the very current matter at hand right now.
"You can hide an army in there," conceded Karos, grudgingly.
"Or lose one," countered Varis.
Arms crossed, nonchalant, Lothar said "Lets see if this, uh…Orc can be trusted. We leave at dawn."
"Sir, do you think what she said about the lost princess is true," ventured Varis.
Face hardening at the mention of her, Lothar said "If Garona speaks true then we'll see. If not and it's a trap then her life is forfeit."
Karos and Varis bowed, leaving with the guardsmen that remained.
This left Medivh and Lothar alone together. Better for Lothar since he has an axe to grind with the former.
Answering the question Lothar intends to ask before it's even spoken, Medivh said "I won't be going with you."
Grinding his teeth in frustration, Lothar challenged "You don't think it's useful to see the enemy firsthand?"
"I have things to attend to," said Medivh, tiredly, eyes cast downward as he's walking slowly towards the doors. "One of them being this sorcerer the King's new guest mentioned."
"The one she said handed Lyanna over to the enemy in slavery," said Lothar.
Nodding, Medivh said "If it really is a sorcerer that kidnapped the Princess then he poses a great risk. Whoever it is might not have only sold her to these Orcs, but he or she may have cleared the way for them to come here. They must be dealt with swiftly before they can do any more harm to Azeroth."
Lothar isn't about to let him off the hook so easy.
"What happened to you today," said Lothar, an accusatory tone to his voice.
Medivh is a powerful sorcerer, he could've easily decimated all of those Orc's in the forest with barely a flick of the wrist or whipped most of them out earlier. Instead he merely stood there frozen as he stared at traces of the Fel.
Medivh is lying through his teeth and Lothar knows it.
Impassive, Medivh disagreed "I was studying our foe."
"If it weren't for the kind you'd be studying the edge of an axe," countered Lothar.
Shrugging, Medivh said "You should take him with you then. He's more powerful than you think."
As Medivh continued walking away Lothar is left with far more questions than answers from this convenient little chat.
At the Black Morass Durotan had different troubles to contend with inside the Warband.
Authors Note:
Hope you guys all like this one. ;D
Also, I need your shared opinions over a new story idea that I came up with recently while watching two of my favorite franchises.
I'm considering doing a Venom story for the 2001-2003 Justice League Series. Do you guys think I should make it a crossover or just put it in the Justice League Universe? Another thing is about an idea of the symbiote completely taking over the host or if the relationship is a lot like Eddie and Venom's in the 2018 movie? Another thing is I'm having trouble with figuring out a title and a name for my character. If anyone has suggestions I'm more than willing to hear them.
As per usual with stuff like this the person/readers that offer the winning suggestions gets a question answered for the story in mind. In this case it's the Justice League 2001-2003 and Venom 2018 story.
I really want to get this idea up and running soon, but I'm kind of all over the place.
