~In the spirit world, the middle of the night.~
"""Bwonsamdi, why do we not feel full?""" Zul'jin, the Amani warlord, Var'gazul, the last leader of the Gurubashi, and Vol'jin, the ex-leader of the Darkspear tribe and the first warchief of the horde spoke in union.
"Ya' know we don' like eachother ya'? WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE!?" Zul'jin screamed at the death Loa, his tone full of anger.
"What are you speaking of? I haven't done anything." Bwonsamdi spoke, a fake smile on his face.
"Don't even try to fool us, Bwonsamdi. I have lost a huge chunk of my memories, what have you done?" Vol'jin spoke, with a painful tone full of disappointment. C'mon Vol, be angry! Stop looking at me like that! AGH this is worst than him being angry.
"I feel the same, my strategies, that I knew by heart, have become foggy." Var'gazul continued, a little lightheaded.
"Ah do not worry, those will come back. I've only copied your souls, noting to worry about." At their questioning glares Bwonsamdi continued. "I have made an experiment, I'll show you guys later about it. And so the Loa of death disappeared in a fog, to the annoyance of the troll leaders.
~The troll village, 'Vol'jin' POV.~
'Hmm, why do I have a feeling something is wrong? I'm sure it's nothing.' I though as I put some Devilsaur eggs that I got from Bwonsamdi. In total, as I remember, we have 50 raptor eggs, 20 fledgling pterrordax eggs, 15 direhorn eggs and 10 devilsaur eggs.
Along with the eggs, Bwonsamdi gave me 5 devilsaurs, 10 direhorns, 30 fledgling pterrordaxs and 50 raptors. The other trolls were surprised at first, but they were quickly happy at the increase in military power. It took a while to convince them not to be scared of the devilsaurs and the to teach them how to ride a fledgling pterrordaxs. But they were quick learners and the first rider managed to fly in only 1 week, the rest following the example. When 3 of them managed to ride the fledglings, a brown skinned female troll with green hair that was left wild, and 2 twin troll males which both had clay colored skin with red hair tied in pony tails. I decided to talk to them. "Alright, you three are the first of your tribe to manage to ride the fledglings, so I decided to give you a mission." They all looked at me with excitement in their eyes. "You three will have the mission of searching for as many tribes as you can for the next month and also inform the tribes about us and if they wish to join us. However, if the time of a month is up, all three of you need to rush back as fast as possible. The reason is because I theorize the countries I contacted will come, and of course, we need to be ready for a fight. Do you understand?"
"SIR! YES SIR!" They all spoke with confidence, a grin appearing on my face.
"What are you waiting for then? Go!" They all hurried over to their mounts and took flight.
"Sezima, how many trolls do we have in total?" Turning my head to the female witch doctor, seeing her cower in fear.
"We have a total of 500 trolls, from which 300 are able too fight. The rest are either children or alchemists." She said while shuttering.
"That should be enough for now. Send the hunters to find food, some others to get wood, the ones good at traps to plant some of them, and send the ones good at stealth over to scout and spy on the other kingdoms and find their intention." She started writing everything I said on a scroll.
"Yes Vol'jin." And she quickly got to work. While watching her I was thinking about what should I do. 'I should go help them take care of the beasts.'
My schedule for the rest of the month was tight, in the morning I had to explain and teach the ones taking care of the eggs what to do and how to raise the babies once the hatch. At lunch, after eating, I was teaching the riders how to take care of their mounts and how to bond with them. Which was really tiresome if I may say. After eating dinner I have to teach them new techniques on traps, along with that I help the witch doctors and alchemists with their potions and rituals. This schedule took a really hard hit on me, I began to feel tired every moment of the day, however, I cannot slow down. 'I hope there won't be any permanent damage because of this.'
"Stop getting scared! It won't hurt you!" At this point I was trying my best to convince some scared idiots how to take care of some newborn raptors, which was really, really annoying. The cause being that the idiots keep getting scared of the baby raptors, which is dumb ass hell. I mean, LOOK AT HOW CUTE THEY ARE!
I want to kill those idiots...
During a normal day, it happened that a fully red dragon went over our kingdom, if it can be called that, but at the same time I have finished my routine faster and at the dragon's appearance a though came to my head. 'That dragon looks delicious. Might as well eat something new.' A bloodthirsty grin appeared on my face that scared everyone around me. "I-is everyth-thing alright, Vol'jin?" Sezima said with a terrified expression on her face.
"Yes, everything is alright. Actually, today I'll hunt for the food alone." Sezima nodded and backed away as I went to get my bow, axes and daggers. 'Make way for the bad guy.' I though as I pushed trough the guards. This though sounded similar, but I can't remember where I know it from. Ignoring mt thoughts, I run for the pterrordax's stales. Getting on the closest one I quickly take flight.
I could SMELL the dragon, the though of the taste of it's meat made me drool slightly. After just in a few minutes I could see smoke leading me to my prey. As we got closer to the dragon, the pterrordax was getting more and more scared, slowing it's speed, but using a little intimidation the pterrordax started to speed up.
It took some time, around an hour, to get close enough to see the dragon. A grin appeared on my face, quickly getting my bow. Taking aim for it's wings I shot three arrows at the same time, all of them hitting their target: the right wing, making the giant dragon stagger in it's flight. Since I was detected I just let my blood lust flow. The colossal dragon increased it's speed, however the wound I gave it didn't allow that. Pulling back another three arrows I aim for the left wing, however this time I only managed to hit one in the arrow in the left wing, another one was blocked by it's tail and the last one missed. Cursing under my breath I continued the chase. Seeing it couldn't get away, the red dragon decided to dive to the ground. "AFTER IT!" I yell at the pterrordax making it follow the red giant.
As it was descending to the ground I managed to shoot three more arrows, all of them hitting the dragon’s back, but none hit the wings. As the ground got closer, adrenaline filled my body, the lust for blood being unbearable. ‘Closer, closer... GOTCHA’!’ I jumped from the pterrordax onto the dragon’s tail. The beast tried to desperately shake me off, however I was piercing it’s scales with my axes and holding onto them. Slowly I started climbing onto the creature as it roared in agony as it’s scales were being torn apart one by one. Then, it didn’t take much time to get to it’s wings. We were already close to ground, so a though came in my mind. ‘Let’s take a shortcut, shall we?’ Then I lowered my axes down onto the connection of it’s wings, tearing tendons and muscles along the way while covering myself in blood. The wings, without the nerves controlling them, gave up. The dragon smashing into the ground with a loud meteorite-like crashing.
The forest’s animals started getting really agitated because of the gigantic creature hitting the ground. The dragon tried to get up, but a sharp pain in it’s neck stopped it. It roared as it tried to get me off it, however, everything it did was pointless. I continued my climb on the creature like it was a mountain, until I got on it’s head. I lowered my head to it’s eye, which was full of anger, hatred, and fear. The fear of death is very commune in this situation, however, I don’t have mercy. I slammed the axes into the eye, the dragon roaring again, but I kept slamming. Again and again, making a squishy sound every time it pierced the eye. I continued this until it was dead. At this point I was covered in blood, however the grin on my face never disappeared.
‘Where’s your proud face now!?’ The though made me laugh darkly. ‘This will make a great feast!’ Using some voodoo magic I stored the dragon in a pocket dimension, which I admit, is very useful. Turning back, I wondered what I could make from the dragon’s corpse. ‘We could make some great weapons and armors from this, and it’s meat seems delicious. I can’t wait to have a taste.’
Sezima was staring at the huge dragon corpse with her mouth wide open. “Wha-how!? How did you get this!?” It was obvious she was panicking as she started running circles around me.
“Calm down, I killed it. I’m not a thief.” My comment made her ask even more questions, even faster. Stopping her by grabbing her by the head and picking her up. “Alright, enough. You are acting like a child. Now just go and help the rest with coordinating what to do which each part of the dragon, I’ll take the head.”
