Chiron knew a great rich deal about this world.
At first glance, he could see that something was special about this Orc Chief.
The Dragon had spat its unforgiving flames on it, and yet, it had not turned to dust. Inside the orc Chief glowed lightly in a green hue.
on his skin, Chiron could clearly see runes.
runes were the foundational principles of the world. However, access to them was very limited and only a few knew about these secrets.
The Runes on his skin had protected him, but it was obvious to Chiron that this was more of a gifted shield than it was something that he could control. In was more like an instinctive reaction to stay away once a person touched fire.
In other words, these Orc Chief was a god Child, but he had not yet awakened into his origins. He was what was called a Blessed child.
These were god Children that had their godlike abilities dormant.
They were considered to be very special, and certain religions and tribes even worshipped them as the gods themselves.
However, it was possible for a godchild to remain dormant for most of his life. In fact, it was possible for a godchild to not know that he or she was a godchild.
Such a thing was not uncommon.
God Children were those chosen to be the avatar of gods amongst their own people.
This Orc chief was one such. He was chosen to be the avatar of an Orc god.
Chiron would have ordered the Dragon to flame up the Orc again and again until the shield weakened and got destroyed. But he was actually interested in this orc Chief.
"Will you die for me!?" Chiron asked.
These words had not been said in the common tongue but there had been said in Orc tongue.
These took the Orc by surprise.
Chiron walked over to him, "Will you die for me if I give you and your people their lives?"
As Chiron send this, Devil's touch appeared like a hidden limp. It made a cut on Chiron's leg and a bit of blood showed.
Chiron presented his foot to the Orc chief and allowed a few drops of blood to fall on the ground.
Chiron was familiar with the costumes of these people. The Orc Tribes. They were a people that only respected the strongest. only he that could defeat all opponents could could seat as chief.
They were a very proud race, and were formerly a people that engaged in active pillaging of resources.
It was believed that only in such acts were their gods ever pleased and blessed them accordingly.
However, Human beings grew and got stronger, and techniques were invented while The Orcs were just too rigid to their ways, and depended solely on their brute strength and Cultivation levels.
Soon, They were not able to form threats against human beings like they used to and were relegated to forming clans within the forest areas.
Of Course, amongst themselves, there was still a lot of competing and pillaging.
for them, only the strong was allowed to rule.
This Orc Chief was stronger than Chiron in terms of Cultivation level. But that did not mean that he had more strength than Chiron.
After all, Chiron still had the Dragon at his command.
The Blood Chiron Presented to him was not so that he could become his slave. But according to the Orc people tradition, it was the symbol of submitting to a higher power.
The Orc Chief knew this.
He looked at the blood and then he frowned.
"Look over there!" Chiron pointed, "either way, your people will die."
The Orc Chief looked in the direction Chiron pointed. The Warriors he came with were currently engaged in a battle with the soldiers that came with Chiron.
As one would expect, they were losing.
The Orc Chief watched as he's warriors were being slaughtered like cattle. Even the wild Core beasts were not faring well. More and more blood fell to the ground.
He considered himself to be tough, and even though he could see that they were in trouble, he was not going to give up.
Chiron saw the look in his eyes as he contemplated giving up and submitting or dying to the very end.
Chiron could tell what decision the Orc Chief was going to take and he decided to give him a little boost.
Chiron drew close to the Orc Chief's head and he whispered, "If you submit, I can show you how to Unlock your Godchild Nature!"
"HUH!?" The Chief turned to Chiron. His eyes were wide open with surprise.
Chiron took a step back and then he whispered a little. His blood on the ground instantly formed the symbol of a Rune.
The Orc Chief was once more surprised.
The Art of Rune speaking was something even though he was a godchild that had Runes on his body could not do.
Even the barbaric orcs with their backwardness had their own traditions and also legends.
As a born Godchild, this chief knew that one of the many gifts of awaking was the ability to be able to Rune speak.
And here was a Chiron Rune speaking like it was a language that he was born with.
Chiron was just about Eleven years of age. This Orc could see that Chiron was young and should normally not be able to do this.
He knew what it meant. Chiron was also a God Child. If Chiron had already unlocked his ability as a godchild, then he could also help him out. Immediately, he fetched the blood and sand and put it in his mouth.
Chiron nodded. "Tell your people to stop their attacks!"
The Chief removed the beast horn by his side, and then he blew into it.
The sound took everyone by surprise. However, the Orcs immediately dropped their weapons on the ground.
Captain Timi looked in Chiron's direction and at the Orc Chief that was at his feet.
He could not believe what he was seeing. After all, everyone knew how proud these people were. Death was an easier option for them than surrender.
He was not the only one. Dylan also saw this and was filled with both wonder and respect for Chiron. Chiron had made the Orc s give up without him even needing to fight.
"Damn! The armless prince is more capable than I thought." One recruite commented and everybody nodded in agreement.
The Orcs were rounded up together in one place and some Soldiers were put in charge of watching them.
The camp was made and the bodies of the dead soldiers were piled up and burnt.
Joker's Blue was a very dangerous poison. Even after touching the ground for many years, it could pollute the environment.
The only choice was to burn the bodies instead of burying them.
Just to be sure that they were no errors, the entire Garrison was burnt to the ground.
The camp was made and in the centre tent, Chiron sat around a table with the Lieutenants.
After what had happened earlier on during the day, nobody looked at Chiron like he was a child or incapable again.
In fact, all of them had on their faces respect. after all, he had quenched the fires of a battle with just his words.
Chiron nodded his head at a guard and the Orc Chief was led into the tent.
As he was brought in, all the lieutenants at the table had stern and warning expressions on their faces.
After all, Chiron had even requested that the Orc chief be allowed to hold his weapon.
This meant that the Chief could make an attack at absolutely anytime.
The Orc Chief was offered a position to seat at the table which further enraged these men and women. However, they had no choice but to respect Chiron.
"So tell me again Chief Sokka, why are you and your people invading on our lands."
Chiron had said those words in Orc language. Captain Timi was taken back by this. He did not know that Chiron knew the Orc tongue.
The Orc narrated his story, but he said it in the common tongue for the Lieutenants to understand.
As it so turned out, the Chief's warriors had been dying whenever they went out on their hunts for food.
When these deaths were investigated, they discovered that it had been from one of the neighbouring tribes. Or at least that was what they thought at the time.
Wars between Orc tribes were not new, and Chief Sokka knew that he could not show weakness. And so he summoned all the warriors of his tribes to fight.
However, when they got to the enemy tribe, they discovered that their homes were empty. In fact, the village was already empty.
Seeing that there was no more enemy to fight, they went back to their village.
However, when they arrived, they discovered that a human army had already taken over their home. This included their women and Children...
