Drekzar's first battle

--- The Day of the Battle ---

Drekzar Bloodrage Taught in the way's of combat Dogrim Bloodrage. Being young for his age Drekzar shown signs of being Bloodcrazed orc showing signs of anger and furry on the practice dummys not to mention the other orphans he challanged. One warm breezy day in Durotar Dogrim Decides that he would be takin Drekzar on his first duty in a few days for he had been called to gaurd a caravan to the crossraods and thought it would be a good idea for Drekzar to come with for he might get a chance to put the training he had to the test.

Dogrim would often take Drekzar to watch him fight down in Alcaz Isle just off the coast of Dustwallow Marsh, there Drekzar picked up most of his fighting skills by watching his father and learning some from the other warriors there. It was a warm day in Durotar like most days, and Dogrim finally broke the news to Drekzar that he would be going on his first gaurd mission. Excited Drekzar and Dogrim went off to meet with the caravan in Orgrimmar, Approaching the gate Drekzar looks up at the massive walls "WoW" was the only words that he could think to describe the feeling he was havin, As they walk through the gaint gates and into the great city of Orgrimmar they pass through the Vally of strength and up the flight tower heading through the Vally of Spirits and over to the West gate where the caravan was waiting for them. After a quick provisions check they set out of Orgrimmar and on the way to Crossraods.

The journey was nice bonding trip for Drekzar and his farther Dogrim, the caravan made it to Far Watch Post, "let the worgs drink" Dogrim said for they had been pulling a rather big load for the beast, and they took a minute to rest with thier armor off in relaxation. After a awhile of Rest they set back out on the road, it was near mid day Sun beating down with wave after wave of heat, pressing on thier armor and skin dry from the lack of hydration. Dorgim offers Drekzar a drink "Here Drekzar have a drink" *reaching out a pouch of refreshing water* *Drekzar takes it from his fathers hands and nods* "thank you"(Dogrim) *he pours some of it over his armor and watches the steam rise off the heated armor* " we're almost to the Crossraods Drekzar" he says as the come to the intersection at the Gold road, " It's just south of here now once we pass the tower here" (Drekzar) "good i hunger for some Toughed Jerky".

Arriving at Crossroads they check with the Inn Keeper Boorand PLainswind while his father and the keeper talk Drekzar takes in the view studyign it well so that he might be able to recall it if neccisary. Moments later Dogrim approaches Drekzar (Dogrim)" Drekzar, we're needed once more. the caravan is needed in West at a small outpost there if we hurry we can beat the nightfall, it said that centaurs are causeing a mess around that area." (Drekzar) *nods* " lets hurry then i still have yet to eat" (Dogrim) " is that all you think about is food?" (Drekzar) " well it is on my mind alot, but let us hurry the caravan can't wait." *Dogrim nods* (Drekzar)" For the horde! Lok'thar!"*Dogrim laughs* (Dogrim)"lets us go". They set out West of Crossroads (Dogrim) " we're suppose to be delivering this caravan to Regthar Deathgate He's in charge of a small post here" (Drekzar)" zug zug, This job seems to easy then what we have been training for father" Dogrim doesn't reply *Drekzar looks over the worg at Dogrim (Drekzar)" is something wrong?" Dogrim draws his axe and yells (Dogrim)"Drekzar prepare your blade the outpost is under attack, For the
horde!" Drekzar looking down the road notices a pillar of smoke riseing from what is suppose to be the outpost (Drekzar)" Ah finally some action! i was begining to worry i'd never get a chance to join a battle" they rush with haste towards the smoke hearing the cling of axe's slamming into shields orcs and centaurs alike giveing their war cry.

Dogrim and Drekzar rush into battle leavin the caravan a little ways back otu of harms way knowing the worg would defend it, Chargeing into the heat of battle Dogrim makes the first strike on a un-expecting cenataur archer takeing him down in with two swings of his axe, "Ha is that the best you can do?!" Drekzar yells at Dogrim *grunting* "I"ll show you what i can do" Dogrim yells as he takes on two cenataurs, Drekzar feeling the excitement of his first combat the anger of seeing his brother orcs being slain, the feeling of the blood pumping through his viens " For the Horde!" he yells as he splits his axe into a Cenataur's skull splashing blood back into Drekzar's face he doesn't even bother to wipe it off, Dogrim catching a glance of Drekzar doing this notices the smirk on his face and his eyes wide open abosorbing every moments, "ggrrr....aaahhh...Taste my blade!" Drekzar grunts and yells as he splinters through the centaurs lines "the caravan! it's gone!" Dogrim yells alerting Drekzar of this, *Drekzar turns and looks where the carvan is suppose to be* grunting he shoves the cenataur he was combating with off and takes off back towards the road in search of the caravan, Looking around he hears the worgs yelp to the west so he darts in the direction of the yelp and see's the worgs badly injurd dis-hooked from the wagon which was set a flame by cenataur archers. Drekzar drags the worgs under a near by tree, as he returns to the battle he notices the Centaurs are in re-treat. "For the Horde!, Lok'thar!, " the gaurds who were still left alive yell, Drekzar looks around for the sign of his father but is no-where to be seen, "Drekzar over here hury!" he hears Regthar yell as he approaches the hut he see's his father on the floor, he kneels down...gazeing at Dogrim he pulls the arrow from his neck clinching it tight in his fist, anger fills his heart as a hand of comfort is placed on his shoulder "He died a Honorable Death Drekzar...He faught more bravely then any orc I have seen in these parts could ever do"...Drekzar grins "Yes...it was a honorable death"..*he drops the arrow on the ground beside him and stands to his feet* (Drekzar)"Will you help me burn him and lay his ashes on the ground where he died?" Drekzar asks Regthar "Of course" he replys, afte the burning Regthar treats Drekzar to a meal.
(Regthar)"You know everytime we try and re-build this outpost the Cenataurs attack us burning most the buildings to the ground...it cant keep up like this it's getting old" (Drekzar)"I would stay and help but I must return home and tell my mother of fathers outcome" he says as he swallows the cooked meat. (Regthar)" well then it thank you for your help here today" *Drekzar nods as he turns to begin the long journey home* thinking to himself " I must train...I was not fast enough to help my father...i wasn't strong enough to take them all out...oh but the ones i did...it felt so good.. oh the rage...oh the anger *he grips his axe tight* "Lok'thar"" he yells. (Drekzar)"Now to return home... much rest is needed before i being my training"..."But first maybe I'll grab a bite to eat in Crossraods".
