Thread: New Pact, New Lives (Razgriz x wiki234)

Orgoth watched the Queen carefully from his bowed head, only raising it when she told him of his acceptance into her elite guard. The stern expression regarded her with stern neutrality as was his command, he would lay down his life for her as her people had done for his. Though truth be told, only those cursed Holy Knights had dealt such damage to his brothers and sisters, and he was glad to have them gone. Should any wishing you harm approach, know that I will strike them down without hesitation! he bellowed, holding his swords out to his sides and unintentionally demonstrating the immensity of his physical stature. Giving her another, the one named Rihna approached him and giggled, grabbing his arm and trying without success to tug him, Come on, you behemoth. I'll show you where you'll be sleeping! Not that you'll be getting a lot of it, what with having to watch over our leader and all. Truth be told he wouldn't have to watch her all the time, but he would be spending many hours making sure she didn't get hurt or attacked. Soon he was led to a room It wasn't much, not compared to the lavishness of the other royal guards. But then, given his reputation, the Iron Wolves rarely dealt in finery except for weapons and armor, only making sure the armor was strong and the weaponry sharp and functional. Not bad right? Who knows, maybe you'll be allowed to spruce it up some! Rihna giggled again, Orgoth replying flatly The Iron Wolves care little for aesthetics...If it's not too much trouble, where might I find something to eat and drink? The journey was fairly lengthy and I find myself craving a good side of deer and mead. Rihna's expression fell figures this brute wants to fill his stomach, on their dime no less. But, given what he willingly signed up for, what was the harm? She just hoped that he didn't eat everyone out of house and home! We have rice wine, will that be acceptable? the Kitsune asked, Orgoth grunting As long as it fills my gut, I'll take anything. Her ears perked up maybe these noble savages had some class after all! Well then follow me and we'll get you all set! Moments later they arrived at the royal dining hall, where no one else sat for the moment. Rihna excused herself to the kitchen to talk to the cook she re-emerged a few moments later carrying a plate piled high with steamed fish and a bottle of wine. The fish itself fresh-caught striped flyfish, a hearty species known for its gamey flavor and butter-like texture. No way he'll finish this all, but in case he wants more, this should quell his appetite she said as she set the plate and bottle down, the brute staring down at the food. Before she could even begin to wish him a good meal, Orgoth's massive hands seemed to shovel the food down his throat, his iron-hard jaws ripping and mashing the flesh like a super-effective grinder. Loud swallows were interrupted by equally noisy gulps of his downing the wine and what seemed like no time at all, the plate was completely spotless and the wine bottle bone-dry. A loud and long belch echoed through the hall, the force enough to make the windows rattle a bit. Thank you for the meal! Orgoth declared as he shattered the bottle against his forehead, their sign of showing respect for that which prepared the food. Rihna was just speechless was this man, this hulking monstrosity, even for real? The alcohol alone should have put him down for a long sleep, let alone devouring that much flyfish! U...Um, sure! Please, uh, follow me! And don't worry about the glass a maid will take care of it Rihna said, leading the hulk out the door, the chair creaking as it was relieved of its burden. The fox-woman showed him about, detailing each area of the village The market, the public bathhouse, the guardhouses, and the entrance itself. Her tour ended with a small showing of the actual house he would be guarding He took note of every possible entry point, every breachable wall, anything that could be used to access the royal homestead. And with that, she was finished, leading Orgoth back to the Queen, bowing before the nine-tailed divinity Your Grace, I've shown Orgoth everything I can! If it is alright, I would leave him to you!
