As the door to the training rooms opened an orc around 25 years old came walking out, this orc had a stern face and a scar which went from the left side of his face al the way to the right lower side. The orc stood in place for a few seconds as all of the unblooded orcs walked into the training room, then with a stern and deep voice he let out an intimating aura that brought most of us to are knees.
This orc was over 7ft tall and had a murderous aura around him that would bring a chill to the bone. He spoke and said with a booming voice, my name is Kogan and I will be going through the training you wimps will be going through. As he spoke he went straight to the point and grabbed a random orc, he then went over to what looked to be a metal tree trunk. Once he got to this tree trunk like object he stood before the small orc and told the orc to start hiting the metal trunk with his fists continously until instructor Kogan told him otherwise, the orc looked at the instruct which looked a little confused. The instructor the yelled, are you stupid puny orc start punch the skin on your fist is too delicate and we need to build up some kind of muscle within this week we have till the Hunt.
Once he managed to get this orc to work he looked over each orc and gave them instructions of what there training would be. Norks was to lift the large metal trunk like object repeatedly until he was told he could stop and if he did stop before being told he'd be put in a sparing match with another orc.
Arg was tasked with running around the training compound with weights on his arms and legs which he did without thinking much of it. I on the other hand messed up as I started asking the instructor too many questions, why do we have to do this type of training instead of something else, is there any better ways to train and such. This constant annoying questioning got to the orc instructor Kogan, this caused me to have to have weights on my arms and legs while doing metal log punchs then when I finished with them I went straight to running with Arg.
Whenever I was with Arg I would try talking to him, this didn't last however as after the first hour of training it got more intense and I began to have a metallic taste in my mouth that keep me from speaking.
Finally after 4 hours of continued training with only 5 minute breaks everyone hour we finally finished the physical training part of the day. When the physical training ended we got 10 minutes to catch are breaths, I walked over to a sweaty mess of a orc that was Nork and a splat of sweat that lay on the the ground which was Arg.
Arg finally caught his breath and punched both me and Nork on the arms which felt like hammers had slammed into them after the train. Nork on the other hand had a smug look on his face and said that was nothing, this didn't last as when I pushed him he dropped straight to the floor causing both me and Arg to burst into laughter.
When we finally caught are breaths and talked about the exhausting training we went through, another instructor came into the training room this time I recognised who this instructor was, it was the woman who was at the front of the stalls earlier.
When this woman came through the door surprisingly the other orc instructors that were in the room bowed, good evening second in command, from the sounds of it she was just below the rider chief that showed up earlier on the black 2nd order warg.
As she walked in she looked at me then scoffed and continued to walk to the front of the training room. Today I will be teaching you grunts some of the basic warbeast you might face in the wilderness during your Gre Gar Hunt and what warbeast you should look out for. When she began to speak you could tell only a third of the class actually payed attention, this was due to most of the orcs in the training room being male and they were in a stupor at the beauty of the orc woman before them some even drooled.
The Female orc ignored this for a little bit but had enough and shouted, I am Sira second in command of the orc riders and you will show me respect. This may not have seemed as intimidating if not for the flames that came off her body as her once redish green skin turned bright red with flames coming off them, she was a volcanic orc and a pure one at that.
Every single orc in the room even though female orcs dropped there faces to the floor, then Sira huffed a little as the flames that came off her body settled down and she said, good now we can actually start.
First she explains the common 1st order beast that we would encounter, which didn't need too much explaining. After she finish with the basics she then went on to the 2nd order tank warbeasts we would be looking for.
The first warbeast she explained was the Morg they were the same size as a warg but had 4 claw like legs and a giant mouth, all of which was covered in an incredibly thick chitin like material. We were explained that due to it huge size the best thing to do was distract it and avoid the enormous mouth while the rest of the orc tried to target the joints which had no armour around them.
The second tank class 2nd order warbeast we would most likely see was the Barak, this was a giant snake that was over 20ft long and had incredibly thick scales which could shatter steel if hit directly. This creature spewed poison out of it mouth which could kill and unblooded orc in under an hour. These warbeasts greatest weakness was actually just before it released it poison, this would be seen when its chest started pulsing, the beast time to strike was right when it opened its mount due to it having no armour in its mount and having a very weak part at the top of it mouth.
Now these warbeasts may sound like they aren't that difficult to kill however just because you know there weaknesses doesn't mean these beast will give you the opportunity to strike. Then she concluded her explanation of the two main warbeasts we would be hunting and went into a little more detail on survival skill.
After a while of training it was finally over and time for me to head home, I grabbed some food from the side that was provided at the training area and began stumbling home. Once I got through the creaky door and shut it I walked straight to my fur covered bed and plonked onto it, I grunted looked to the side where my carvings were and began to close my eyes finally falling asleep after hours of training.

As Rogan struggled to break free he was finally stopped by Grah, who punched Rogan in the stomach winding Rogan and preventing him from struggling any further, due to the pain he felt and not seeing a reason to struggle further with all these stronger orcs that surrounded him.Someone eventually spoke, it was Ruk surprisingly. This was surprising due to me expecting Gunug to be the ring leader especially with Ruks lack of intelligence.

The orc riders were rushing around trying to organise everyone as best as possible, but it was a lot harder to handle than they originally thought.Normally a group of orcs this size should have been able to handle a third order warbeast, but most of them were unblooded orc and there was no order it at all, it was complete chaos.As I rushed to my tent, squeezing through all the orcs running around sporadically, I eventually get inside my tent squeeze past three other orcs.

The Hunt Continues
After they packed their everything up and left, they began to look for a more suitable place for them to stay.The first thing they needed to do was get as far away from the fight as possible, even if they had to leave behind the bodies of their comrades.Despite how Rogan treated his comrades in battle, if he didn't know the orc and they never helped him then he would treat their corpses as if they were nothing more that a pile of meat. This meant that when they left the bodies of their previous team members Rogan didn't even have a shred of sympathy for them.They began search for a new location to set up camp.After looking throughout the forest for quite some time they began to realise something, how are they going to find a good location in so much mist.They had been looking for almost two days now and found no good locations.After the second day Rogan had to make a choice, continue looking and risk getting ambushed unprepared or use a location they already found that was accep

The Aftermath
Rogan was still in shock of all the things he had learned and the fact that someone had pledged themselves to him.Although he was in shock he also knew that he still had much that he needed to do. So he began to get to work straight away despite the pain and confusion he was feeling."How much food do we have left." Rogan asked.He was considering using the first order warbeast meat as supplies as it had many benefits to eating and they still had plenty they could use."We only have two days of food supplies left. We didn't know what to do with the warbeast corpses so we just left them." Rogans new subordinate replied."Ok, we need three of us to keep watch while the other two skin and butcher the warbeasts."It was clear that most of them didn't want to be on guard duty, especially after what had happened.Rogan decided to go on guard duty along with Leah and Hugraf while the other two would butcher the first order warbeasts.After making this decision Rogan began walking towards th

True Orc
SWOOSH. Rogan leapt to the side to avoid the charge of the beast, it had once again missed him barely. Despite Rogan avoiding this he still was greatly wounded and the gash on his leg began to open causing blood to begin to gush out. This was excruciating for Rogan but he had to distract himself from this pain. He slammed his mouth shut, bitting directly into his tongue. The pain gave him the shock he needed to focus back on the battle.Rogan had been trying to figure out the Morgs movement patterns. This wasn't easy as he had to constantly evade and dodge the beasts assault why also being seriously injured and looking for weaknesses he could exploit.The beast was getting tired of the orc before it and desided to give up on him. This may sound good because it meant Rogan could finally breath but this wasn't the case. Just as Rogan had notice the beasts focus had gone off him it was too late. The beasts enormous gnaw began to open wide. The orc that was now before the visage of th

TWANG. As soon as the beast appared it went directly for Rogan not giving him a chance to formulate a plan. Its slammed its enormous head directly at Rogan, he used all his strength to stop this gripping his sword with as great effort. As the impact struck Rogan he felt a sudden rush of breathlessness and began to try to gasp for air.Grrrawww. Rogan finally caught his breath ready to counter attack, when without warning an indistinguishable blur slammed its jaws towards his arm.Just as he thought he might have to sacrifice something to win this fight the once indistinguishable blur finally appeared before him. Gwaaa. Rogan heard the gurgling noise of an orc but it was no orc he had ever recognised. The person that had saved him was Leah, she had cut his throat causing the orc to chock on his own blood.Rogan was concerned at Leahs ease of killing her own kin and with such proficiency, but he didn't have tim

Challenges of the hunt
It had been a tireless night for Rogan as he constantly thought about the possible reasons leah had met this suspicious figure.He couldn't comprehend her thought process due to his family almost complete composing of warriors had this mentality that your kin should never be left behind. This led him to lack understanding when it came to anyone that would betray there own kin.He had been focus on this so much that when his group had been discussing the plans for the hunt he had completely zoned out and didnt hear any of the plan.Leah looked a worried as she spoke to Rogan." Is everything ok with you Rogan, you've been zoning out a lot today." She seem concerned for his wellbeing but Rogan couldn't trust this and assumed she was just trying to manipulate him. He didn't want to believe it but he couldn't explain why she had started to talk and help a complete stranger, the only explanation being she was using him but he couldn't figure out what for.

Unusual Encounter
It had been a few hours since Rogan and Leah fell asleep and Rogan had woke up in the middle of the night, he had been struggling to stay asleep after the encounter with the rock drakes. All he could think about was what he could have done better and that he still hadn't gained the strength he needed. As he was lying there think he heard a very faint rustly. Curious to see what it was he glanced over in the direction of the noise and decided to see what it was. As he looked over he was a bit surprised, from the looks of it Leah was leaving there tent to do something. Rogan was curious about what Leah was doing, he didn't know much about her so he desided to follow her to find out what she was doing. As he followed her it began to seem more and more unusual as it seemed that she knew exactly where she was going, Rogan just assumed he was just over thinking. Suddenly Leah stopped turning in the exact location Rogan was, dashed to the nearest tree as quietly as possible. CRUNCH. He st

The Hunt Begins
It was finally time. Rogan along with the rest of his group began to advance towards the errie forest, the sound of rustling leaves resounded around them as they began to trample over the decomposing leaves. It didn't take long till they had finally stepped foot into the forest, the vision of the horde riders gradually disappearing into the fog that surrounded them. Creak. Snap. Every movement they made echoed around them. As one of the orcs began to walk forward Rogan began to feel a warm breath slowly approach his neck. Suddenly a cold shiver went down his spine causing his whole body to shiver. Rogan cautiously turned his head to face a enormous tongue. Jumping back he finally realised what it was, Laughter resounded throughout the forest. I can't believe I scared you with that. Leah was giggling uncontrollably as she tried to gasp for air. As Leah laughed Rogan stared at her for an instant then faintly smiled at Leah, then he grumbled. I mean you do look pretty scary. Leah lo
