It all begin in a little orc tribe lost in the Mordor.
This tribe name was green-skin.
The place where it was wasn't like the others. Indeed not like all the place in the Mordor the land was not devasted by the war or the arid climate.The land was fertile and the crops were plentiful until that fateful day because all happiness has an end.
Cropta was very happy because today is the day he is gonna be a warrior and he will prove his worth to his tribe.
''I will be the greatest warrior of all the middle earth !! '' said Cropta full of excitement.
Because he was too happy someone hide behind his back and said ironically by tackling him '' I have beat the greatest warrior of all the middle earth.
-It's not fair I wasn't ready and please Goultar can you stop crushing me, you're not light.
Laughing his friend helps him to get up. It's not by shouting that you'll be the strongest.To be the strongest you have to earn that by your victory over strong people.
-I know, but it helps, that give me courage.
-Courage? Why is it that we orcs are not afraid of anything, he said beating his chest with his fist.
-Yes you are right we are orc!" After this they speak for a few hours to wait for the ceremony.
Cropta and Goultar went into the center of the tribe. After waiting for everyone the elder began his speech by first thanking our ancestors for giving us this land and other things but Goultar and Cropta were not paying much attention they were waiting for just one thing and then it finally happened. "We will begin the ceremony; said the elder in a cavernous voice.
When I call you, you'll come see me.
Bacrooth! A muscular young orc approached the old one and knelt down.
Are you willing to defend your people and lose your life for them?
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
- Yes, I am.
- From this day forward you will be a scout for the tribe.
After some waiting came Goultar's turn.
"Goultar, are you willing to defend your people and lose your life for them?
-Yes, I am.
- From this day forward you will be a warrior for the tribe";After he became a Goultar warrior came next to me with a big smile on his face. "So now you're a warrior, so all that's missing is me.
-Go ahead, my friend, show them. So my turn came after the old man called my name, I was walking slowly, I felt like I weighed 1 ton. After a minute that was hours for me I was in front of the old one and the moment I put my knee on the ground a scream woke me up from my stupor.
"What's this ?"; shouted someone, little by little everyone began to move around.
But the old one calmed them down. Stop ! You see, it's nothing, he said in a reassuring tone, but these words were not the expected effect.
-Do you see that big black ball in the sky too?
-What black ball?
Little by little the black ball became more visible but it was not what we thought. Indeed it was one of the most dangerous monsters in Middle-earth a dragon.
-It's a dragon, a dragon, we're doomed."
The old man took matters into his own hands because they saw that everyone was desperate. "Everybody hide in the huts.
-Head, what can we do? asked one of the village warriors. -
Wait.
-What ?
-We can only wait we're not powerful enough to face this monster. -We can only wait.
-Even if we summon he spirit of the elders? asked a young orc
-yes, even if we summon the spirit of the elders, but this is not important let's hide first and then we can talk when this beast is gone. Later tonight. the orcs came out and what they saw saddened them a part of their crops burnt and the extremities of the village was destroyed fortunately there were crops in good condition and the center of the village was fine.
Suddenly an orc pointed at Cropta and said "It's his fault.
-But I didn't. Cropta was turning around to ask for help, but everyone looked the other way.
Finally someone says something unthinkable - you have to kill him
- Yes, you have to kill him. X3
- The elder finally took the floor we can't do that but young orc I apologize I have to punish you because otherwise the tribe might go mad. Cropta was scared, but at least he wouldn't die. He didn't know that his fate was worse than death. The elder announced that he will give his decision in the morning. Goultar came to me to recomfort me and said, "Don't worry, everything is going to be all right
- I hope so, I'm going to sleep because my mind is a bit tired.
-I'll see you tomorrow. That night, Cropta had all kinds of nightmares, one where his arms or feet were ripped off. Finally arrived in the morning.
After thinking about it, the elder said, "Since he dreams of becoming a warrior, I will make sure that he never realizes his dream, so he will become blind.
Suddenly Goultar stood up angry-You can't do this to him, it's always been his dream.
Cropta stopped him and told him everything was fine with tears in his eyes. Clenching his fist, he stepped up to the old man and told him he was ready. -I'm sorry, said the old man, and bam, he pierced his eyes . Under shock Cropta fainted and it was the absolute darkness
