I spent a whole entire month fixing the walls of the town and then spent another week repairing various buildings. It seems that every year the Orcs attack in a large Hoard and this year they had not come yet. I am assuming that we ran right through their camp on our way here. Meaning that they would need time to re-launch or reorganize their army as we kind of cut right through it. Since we came and have started repairing the town the atmosphere has greatly improved. People are now smiling in the streets and I have gotten the nickname “ Dark Saviour” Angel and Joanna the whole time have been learning from codex so that's why I have only seen Angel at night. The last couple of days I have noticed that FEAR and PAIN have only been going hunting for a couple hours a day. In shifts. I asked codex about it and he told me that he couldn't improve them any more with out them turning into wild beasts. So they have been only eating what they need to.
Today is special I am going to summon some of my minions.
“Joanna and Angel I am going to need codex for an hour or two this morning after you girls can continue your lessons”
Codex has been doing a really good job teaching them. From what I have been told from the court of nobles (the nobles who are not the kings family that live in the castle)
I walk out into the cool morning air. Its never hot here I have been told by the king which is much to my liking.
“Good morning codex, ready?”
“Yes it is a nice morning and ready when your are master”
Codex instructs me on how to do the summoning and when to do it. I spent much of last night working on how to summon. A blue ring appears on the ground. I am only doing a small summoning so I don't need Mana from my rings. I keep chanting aloud and mana leaves my finger tips and heads towards the ring. After a lot of my mana has been sucked in it is complete and no longer drains me.
“God you summoned us your pitiful servants right before we were going to die thank you, you have answered our prayers!”
Before me stand 2 of my urkai although in bad shape. They are skinny and seem malnourished and well kind of smell. They only have 2 knives both are however like my sword so it isn't hopeless. I can tell both of them are male well because... they are both naked.
“Follow me you two are going to need clothing”
I head back towards the town only to arrive at the gate.
“Hey guys lower the drawbridge”
I can see two guards holding crossbows looking back at me. They seem unsure of what to do. I wonder why? Then it hits me. Orcs are known to be around here and my urkai look like them
“Hey Guys they aren't Orcs!”
They don't respond at all. I can see more guards arriving but all of them have confused looks on their faces.
“HEY lower the bridge now or I will force it down! Got that ? Then Move!” (Charles)
The bridge starts to slowly lower and once it has there are guards with their swords drawn facing me.
“So ugh whats with the Orcs Dark Saviour?”(guard 1)
“They aren't Orcs they are urkai” (charles)
“What is a urkia?”(guard 2)
“A goblin that was been transformed and mutated to look like a human”(Charles)
“God what is an Orc?”(urkai 1)
“It Speaks!!!!” (Guard 3)
“Why wouldn't we be able to speak?” (urkai 2)
“Both of them can speak?!?!?” (Guard 4)
“Idiots what's the hold up?” (Captain of the guard)
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
The captain of the city Guard is Gregory. I haven't bothered to remember his last name as he kind of hates me. Thankfully after fixing the walls the King made me the 3rd highest power in the kingdom. Only the King and his Daughter have more Authority although since I am still independent from the kingdom they can't tell me what to do.
“Move out the way we are going to a tailors store” (Charles)
I walk forward but Gregory walks right in front of me.
“You think i am letting these wild animals into my city?”(Gregory)
“You think i won't tell you to stand down?” (Charles)
He knows that if i order him to he will have to comply or risk me leaving although i think he would be happy if i left. But disobeying me would also result in him committing partial treason as i was given authority only within the city.
“Fine but we will be watching you...” (Gregory)
He walks back to the gate and they close it. They are to paranoid of an attack. Do they really think that with FEAR and PAIN sitting within 500 meters of the gate isn't a big enough deterrent? Anyways as we walk through town everyone runs into their houses and stores scared shit less of the naked urkai behind me. I go up to the nearest clothing store which now has a closed sign on it, and knock on the door.
“We are closed”
“And I have two heads open up”
“I don't service orcs”
“They aren’t orcs they are urkai”
The door opens up slightly and I can see an old man peak his head out.
“They don't look like the orcs I fought in my time....They’re to small to be like them and they don't have tusks and they are very green. Promise they won't attack me and my family”
“we promise sir!”(urkai)
A bewildered look goes across the face of the old man and the door slowly opens.
“Welcome to my clothing store... Whatever you are... ”
The old man has his two daughters in the clothing store and as soon as they see the urkai enter behind me their faces turn really pale. Considering that the two are still naked it doesn't surprise me to much.
“I need two full sets of clothing for the two of them and shoes if you have any”
They Dress the urkai up and when they are all done both of the urkai bow to the women while saying
“Thank you very much fine ladies, for helping us pick out clothes”
I could see the surprise running across their faces as they most likely assumed that the urkai were mute as they didn't speak a single word the whole time that we were there. A smile shows across my face
“Well its time to head home to lunch you two are probably hungry”
They smile and we head towards the keep. I put money on the table. The king pays me every week 5 silver which is quite the wage up here as 10 coppers is the usually wage around here. I can see the urkai's eyes light up when they see the silver i put on the table. As we walk i ask them
“So what are your names?”
“Why would God need to know our names we are to pathetic to even be graced with you saying our names”
“Tell me”
“My name is Ben Bull”
“And mine is Jack Joes ”
