Pov Frog Fand 

Frog fang walked his bent body up the side of a high cliff the jagged black rock of the coast spearing out into open space above the black salt sea and the red eyes of the sea beast that were waiting for the possibility of a free meal.The old Druid wobbled to a stop leaning heavily on his red oak staff his elbow pressing down on the wolf skull that sat ontop of it. 

As the wind began to howl the bundle of rags  held in his free hand began to move and wine looking down the druid shook his head and tutted. The child in his arms was a perfect beserker in almost every way there was no defect and the baby was a perfect wait and size the only problem with the child was his eyes.

The child could See perfectly fine even now he was looking up at the Druid it's small face scrunched up in discomfort and displeasure at being awakened by the elements. The problem was that the eyes looking up at him were green.

Looking out to sea the dtuid lifted the baby high and released the bundle into open space the Druid looked up at the sky and said a single sentence.

pov narrator 

The baby fell into open space it's whispy red hair flapping free as it's swaddle came loose.Nearing the freezing water a mouth full of jagged teeth opens ready to eat the offering so politely givin to it but as the baby was just above surrender death a pair of jagged talents hooked into the rags rapped around the baby one of the claws cutting into the cheek of the new born. 

No cry or tears came from the baby as it's skin was split it's green eyes became glassy the cold air making him sleep.

The razer Vulture was a scavenger out of all creatures that magic twisted its body becoming fully black it's talons becoming hooked and better for carrying for long distances.

The monsters nest was 15 miles from the cliff meaning it had to stop to sleep.Landing on a high tree branch the bird sat and preened watching as the moon sat at its full hight . That full moon was the last thing the monster saw an obsidian arow head punched through it's chest in a spew of black feathers and red blood.

The arow was hooked back on its self and had a dark fletching the heavy stone head pulled the monster backwards the death grip of its claws dragging the baby down with it. The baby was un hurt as the tree had many branches making the fall slow and lound so the baby let out a cry not from pain or from fear the baby wailed in hunger.

The baby wailed until a pair of fat green fingers lifted it up  and two snorting voices spoke 

"is it a goblin child" a smack rang out into the air as another voice grumbled

" no you idiot it's a human look at its skin "the second voice sounded angry as they both tugged twords there camp dragging the dead bird along behind them as they talked about the baby. 

They walked for a few minutes there conversation punctuated by smacks and punches. They walked into the light of the camp fire and were assaulted bye the sound of men and women crying and screaming.

They both stopped snarking at eachother and screamed at the men and women sat in the cage carts To be quite the prisoners pulled back being choked by there necks tide with iron shakels and chains keeping them in place. 

The only ones that sat un bound had green skin and large tusks  there body's in fur armour and black cloakes.the two who had argued were the same as there clokes hoods were pulled back. They looked at the baby  ,"what should I do with it" scratching his bald Scalp the other orc grunted " it is small so put it in with the other small ones and I'll cook the bird.

The orc nodded in affirmation walking over to  the furthest of the three cage carts. Sat inside were small men and women non over 5 foot but fo what they lost in hight they made up for in width and muscle mass  even tho they were obviously underfed. Throwing the baby into the cart the orc walked off forgetting about it almost all at once.
