《The Reaver (hiatus)》Chapter 36 Orc's Caves

Victoria Perspective
My master has been avoiding me ever since the tournament started he has been coming back to his room late or does not return until the morning. I was spending some time with the other people who are infatuated with my master the beast-man, elf, human, and undead. The main topic was about my master Bellator. When we were discussing our topic the door was being knocked on and it was the little girl master helped a man with lavish clothes and a few guards. The elf started to talk the man in fancy clothes he said he wanted to reward Master for helping his daughter. Master did not arrive until a little while later but, he ignored everyone went to his wolf Vulpine woke her up and simply left. I was shocked and depressed when he simply walked out without a word but, I looked at the other ladies and they seemed as distraught as me. Before I knew what happened he was carrying me in an embarrassing position and we were out of the gates. When he placed me down I felt my heart was going to shoot out of my chest. I did what I read in a book closed my eyes and waited for a delicate kiss but, all I got was a pat on the head. That made me pout but, he was looking at Vulpine when he was patting my head. I became furious and sad but, he told me what happened to him when he was younger. I hugged him after he finished his story I resolved myself to help protect this fragile man who is a pillar of support to many others. I thought this while making my armor and weapon of light while clinging to him.
Bellator Perspective
It seems I have done something wrong because, Vulpine and Victoria are now right next to me making walking very hard to walk let alone protect them and myself. As we near the area that the orc cave was reported it smelled like excrement and death. I walked into the cave and found that all the orcs were dead but, nothing was touched.

Stay behind. (Bellator)
They both hesitated to listen to me but, relented. I entered the cave and started to rummage around with a corpse that was laying on his stomach I turned him over to look at his ugly mug which consisted of green skin, extra chins, a pig nose, and beady eyes. He looked in all sense alive his face was not contorted in any pain or fear. I concentrated to see souls of anything alive or undead but, I only spotted couple of tiny flicker of light inside of a hut that smelled worse than anything in the cave. I walked over to a decrepit hut I opened up and saw a couple of human ladies chained up to the walls and a single orc adolescent that was smaller than any of the other orcs I have seen. I disregard the orc in the corner of the room and walk up to the ladies. I look at them all of and they are practically dead they were malnourished, abused, and mentally broken.
Do want to die. (Bellator)
Their eyes shone brightly when I said that. That all nodded to my question and I killed them all at the same time as painless as I could decapitation. I saw the orc runt run up to me with a badly made dagger he almost tripped while running up to me he then stabbed me but, the dagger broke on my armor. I crouched down in front of him who fell on his butt terrified because, his attacked failed. I looked into his eyes they gleamed with intelligence. I took a risk to teach this orc to help this adolescent. I scanned his body he seemed scrawny and beaten but, his will is not broken I also looked in his soul and it was one of purest ones I have ever seen. I then made my decision to teach him and raise him so he can help me.

You weak not corrupt I help alive keep right path. (Bellator)
He looks at me confused but, then looks into my eyes and nods slowly. I grab the runt and carry him out of the hut. I returned to Vulpine and Victoria who were waiting for me in front of the cave. They seemed shocked by what I am carrying they recovered quickly and had a puzzled look on their faces they were also, ready to kill the adolescent orc.
New ally no attack. (Bellator)
They relaxed but, were on guard. I placed down the orc and took a good look at him he was a greyish smoke color with a green tint. He was wearing rags that were torn in several places and made with rough materials. His eyes were not beady like normal orcs they were human like. His facial features were not covered with fat see I can see his cheek bones. His nose was not like an orc it was a normal human nose. Then I looked down on his feet but, they were hooves. I figured out what he was he was a variant of an orc I have not seen.
How old you? (Bellator)
He raised his hand in a 6 so he was 6 weeks old so he might age as fast as regular orcs can they can 10 weeks to reach maturity but, he still looks like a child so his growth is slower. I pulled out a bucket and used water magic to fill it with water. I also dropped a few nonedible herbs into the water to make him smell better.
Wash self. (Bellator)
I handed him a rag to help wipe himself down when he went to the bushes behind him to scrub
himself down I pulled out some of the clothes I bought for myself. A hemp shirt, hemp pants, and cotton underwear. I set a fire and placed a pot filled of water and cockatrice meat on the fire. I seasoned it while I cleaned my armor with a rag. I finished seasoning the food then went to fix the size difference between me and the orc-variant. I placed the clothes on the bush close enough for him to see it.
Collect ears? (Bellator)
I look Victoria who give me a bright smile then nods.
I continued to cook until I saw the orc walk out with fear in his eyes.
Sit. (Bellator)
I pointed at a fallen log that was near me. I complies and sits down I pull out some fuits and hand it to him.
Wait food done soon. (Bellator)
He started to devour the fruits.
I looked over to see if Victoria was alright but, she was already half-way her with a sort of bloody sack. I looked back at the fast-cooking cockatrice meat which was mixed with vegetables done. I rummaged through my sacks and pulled out 3 big bowls and 1 gigantic bowl. I poured everyone their serving but only the orc did not eat. I finished my food quickly and forced fed him the first spoon then he at by himself after the first spoon. I looked at the orc then thought what a troublesome presence.

As the Godking Wills
The Empire and the Church span almost the entirety of the known world, absent some pockets of lawlessness and the realms of the deceiver. They are governed as a despotic theocracy, ruled in name by the solitary and omnipotent God, Al'Shazan.In practice, Al'Shazan is bored, flighty, cruel and has little interest in ruling the Empire. Instead the Empire is run by the High Priest, Minister of the Treasury, and the Knight Commander of the inquisition. Their job is to make sense of the contradictory nonsense spewed forth by their living God while simultaneously ruling the greatest nation that the world has ever known. The entire time, they have to maintian the facade that Al'Shazan is a benevolent and loving God in order to maintain morale in the general populace. --------- The actual genre for this is more along the lines of a Fantasy Political Comedy/Drama/Thriller. It will not be 'crunchy' (minimal action, minimal descriptions of powers/abilities) but instead be focusing on world building and political maneuvering. As a warning, it is fairly dark.
