The great orc king

The start of the tournament

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The drums were in the background as the orc audience stomped there feet, the tournament has begun!

The loud drums stopped, me and Gunug charged forward, gunug was a much bigger orc than me so his weight gave him an advantage. I had to think of a way to take him to the ground so I could get the advantage on him. As I was think of a way to get the advantage Gunug charged at me with a feral fury, probably due to what I had done to him before with the surprise attack.

As Gunag neared me I tried to avoid his punches and get a few in myself, as I was about to dodge another punch to my face another one hit me right in the stomach making me winded. I tried to recover as fast as possible but I was a little too late, he swung for my face, I managed to slam my head into it to get some damage back on him but my head was still bleeding. As I looked up with blurry vision I could see that I also managed to break a finger on Gunugs hand.

After the short confrontation we had I managed to spot a small rock on the arena that was slightly protruding from the ground, I began to bring Gunug close to it. Luck was on my side and he was dumb enough to follow me. 

We continued to have a fist fight while I tried to find the right opportunity to do what I had planned. Blood began to drip down my head as well as bruises and cuts that covered all over my body compared to Gunug, he had a few cuts on his body but nothing serious. Gunug was older, bigger and stronger than me, I had to find a way to get the advantage and fast.

I swayed to the side of one of Gunugs punches and finally saw the opportunity I was waiting for but I could lose me the match if I mess up, I don't have time to think and just act on my plan. Gunug slams his fist into my shoulder expecting me to fall back but instead I'm grabbing hold of his arm that hit my shoulder, I grip his arm and us the moment of his body to twist his arm slamming his body into the floor. My shoulder has a huge gash on it from the punch Gunug delivered but I have to fight through the pain, I winc in pain a but carry on.

As I bring Gunug to the ground I grab his arm and start smashing it into the small rock indent on the floor, Gunug yells out in pain but I don't stop. He begins flailing on the ground trying to find a way out but I don't let him, once his hand becomes mangled up I bring my tusk to the back of his neck and say, this is for Nork, I then slash the back of his nape with my tusks he yells in pain.

Finally he flops on the floor due to the pain and passes out unconscious. The judge looks to the side and yells, the victor of the first match of the tournament is Rrrroogannn. 

After i was announced the victor of the fight I began to walk off the stage and dropped straight to the ground. I was covered in blood and sweat but I won, the grin on my face couldnt hide my joy even if it my condition wasn't great. I then went over to the side and started watching the fights that were going on, from the looks of it I just missed Norks fight, he was covered in blood and seemed to lose. Nork had a big disadvantage in that he was only good at earth magic, he had a gift as a shaman but not much else. I then watched the other matches trying to see the people I would be facing and the ways I could beat them. 

The first half of fights were over and the village shaman used nature magic to heal up the wounded orcs. After which we would be able to watch the second half of the fights, me and Nork met up, with Nork losing his match he grumbled and said I let that orc win he needed it more than me. I just laughed as a response and began to looked over at the match Arg was in.

Arg was up against Ruk a rather large orc compared to Arg who may have been more muscular but lacked in the hight department. Ruk was well know for being incredibly strong, luckily he was considered even dumber than Arg, this wasn't much help but at least it was something.

After the judge repeated the rules Ruk and Arg charged right at eachother. There shoulders bashed against one another and a loud crunch was heard, from the looks of it both there shoulders were dislocated. Ruk was sent a foot away where as Arg almost tumbled to the floor just managing to get back his balance. Ruk then went to relocate his shoulder which wasn't a great idea as thanks to Args combat instinct being good he knew to take advantage of it slamming his face into Ruks nose. 

Once Arg slammed his face into Ruks face face Ruk suddenly started feeling nauseous and lost balance falling on the floor. Arg went straight for this opportunity and dived onto Ruk swinging has fists. 

As Ruk was getting bashed by Args fists he began to feel enraged from this insult on his pride as a orc, he grabbed around Arg. Ruk began to squeeze Arg as tight as he could, bones began to crack but Arg ignored the great pain he felt and kept on swinging. It was a fight of endurance to see who could last longer. The bloody fight kept on for 5 minutes and Arg finally got a good hit on Ruk but it was too late Ruk had broken Arg spin. 

Arg lay flat on the ground screaming in pain but couldn't move a muscle, Ruk had a massive grin on his face as he rated out I WIN WEAKLING. The judge of the contest declared Ruk the winner and then the shaman ran of healing and checking up on Arg.

I ran over along with Nork, we both had a conflict of worried and enraged emotions within us. I ignored the rage and rushed over to the shaman that was healing Arg, Nork on the other hand with his arrogance came running at Ruk thinking he could beat him. This however wasn't the case as when Nork was about to throw a rock with his magic at the injured Ruk, he got a fateful of fist. I rushed over to Nork which was now on the ground and said leave it ill get revenge when we are in the arena, Ruk looked at me scoffed then walked off to get his wounds treated.

Once the encounter was over and the shaman finished healing Arg we asked how he was, the response we got wasn't great Arg had lost the ability to move one of his legs and would probably never be able to use it again. This was devastating for an orc, no more fighting no more moving around freely, it limited them so much and some went as far as to end there lives when something like this happened.

We went back to the side and sat to the side, Arg had a blank face showing and ignored any interaction Nork and me tried with him, we decided to leave it, I understood that he must have been devastated to find out what happened. There was even a vote to disqualify him but Gunug managed to get his father to bend the rules saying Arg could still move one leg meaning he could still fight in wars if he really wanted to. I was furious but there was nothing I could do, at least not yet.
