GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



This female Warrog has braided hair that reaches her waist. There are a lot of teeth and bones braided into her hair. The rest of the Warrogs are a mixture of males and females but they are smaller than her. He can feel that all of them are stronger than him though. 

He examined them and they examined him in turn. They saw that he has pure white fur with black horns. But most importantly, He is just a youngling. He is a little above a meter tall while the smallest among them is 1.5 meters tall. The Alpha is more than 2 meters tall. So he doesn't look dangerous to them at all. 

He also smells weak and his posture is weak. He doesn't look like a warrior at all. Some of their fear was reduced immediately. They let down their guard and began to approach him.

"Are you deaf, young one? Who are you?" The leader asked again.

This time she asked with a calm voice.

Legion-6 groaned. He heard her the first time. He didn't answer because he doesn't understand her language. He is surprised that she is speaking a language that he doesn't know. Gehaldirah made sure to learn the language of the Warrogs when he collected the Warrog materials. So he used his divine sense to communicate with her.

He said to her, "I am a wanderer. An Omega."

He scrambled for an explanation from the information that he knows about the Warrogs. He knows a bit about their culture and behavior. The best he can say is that he is an Omega. It is the least threatening thing that he can say to describe himself. 

His reply made the Alpha nod. She is an awakened Warrog so she has a divine sense. Everyone in her squad is awakened too so they understand what he said. She accepted his reply as a reasonable reason for why he is alone. 

She didn't just believe him because he said so. She tested him by trying to draw out his inner beast but she failed. That means he is either an Alpha or an Omega. Whichever one it is is not a threat to her. An Alpha without a squad is at their weakest and an Omega this young is no threat at all.

So she asked about the other thing that she is concerned about. "Why did you come out of an Underdark tunnel?"

Legion-6 understood her question and what she was referring to from the way she asked it. Communication with the divine sense is not about words. It is full of meaning and emotions. What he said earlier was that "I am a wanderer. I stand alone in the hierarchy." Standing alone on the hierarchy means he is an Omega. 

Her question about the Underdark is also full of meaning. When she said Underdark, she meant "the holes in the ground with the terrifying darkness." So he is able to understand that she is afraid of the tunnels. She has to be very afraid if she uses the meaning of terrifying to describe it. 

She is probably terrified of it which means a lot. After all, she is a peak vitality core stage refiner. Whatever she is afraid of about the tunnel must be terrifying. He learned more from her questions about the world than she is learning from him.

He answered her question somewhat sheepishly and ashamed. "I got lost."

His reply gave her pause. She scrutinized him closely. Then she began to laugh. She walked up to him and slapped him on the back. He stumbled because of the impact. He almost fell over.

"She is truly stronger than me." He thought to himself.

The others laughed too. They surrounded him and smelled his scent. If they noticed anything strange about him, they didn't show it. They remained friendly with him. But he noticed that he has been completely surrounded. 

"This can't be a coincidence." He thought to himself.

"You are one lucky youngling." The leader said after laughing.

He scratched his head innocently. "I can't believe that I survived. I am truly lucky."

The leader asked nonchalantly, "Did you meet a pregnant female by any chance? She has brown fur with white spots."

"No, I didn't." He shook his head and replied. "But I saw some blood trails. I followed them up the slope and found this entrance. It is my lucky day. I thought I was going to die."

Her question was nonchalant but that is only to downplay the severity of the situation. She smelled the scent of the pregnant Warrog on him. So it would be highly suspicious if he had said he didn't see or meet her. But his explanation assuaged any suspicion she has of him. Their target was bleeding. That's how they tracked her to this location. So it must be a coincidence that this youngling has her scent on him. 

"It must truly be his lucky day." She thought to herself.

Then she said to him. "You are a youngling and an Omega so you must be on a pilgrimage looking for a totem pole to indenture yourself to. Why don't you come to my pack? I am inviting you."

"I will be honored. Thank you very much." He replied eagerly.

She made sure to point out, "I am inviting you to the tribe. As an Alpha of the pack, I have that right. That doesn't mean you will be allowed to indenture yourself to our totem pole or allowed to stay in the pack. That will depend on the pack leader."

He thanked her again. "This much is already enough. I am very grateful." 

She nodded after making everything clear. Then she said to him, "These two will take you to the pack. Follow them." 

Then she picked out two of her squad members to send him to the pack. The remaining four will continue to stand guard until another squad comes to relieve them. That's their mission given to them by the pack leader. The words of the pack leader are law so she will continue to watch the tunnel entrance for as long as they must.
