After that Olly led them to the cave that could house them. Orion Set up the cottage and suddenly there were six rooms and six stalls they brought in their horses and the next day the Orcs started with learning hand to hand from the cat girl. At first the male orcs laughed at her and said they could beat her easily. Orion then said one at a time each of you fight her in hand to hand. Orion then told night not to hurt them too much. Night said I can take all three of them all at once. So, night fought all 3 hands to hand and jump kicked one in the head, spin kicked the other into a wall and beat the last one with so many punches that he could not keep up. After this beating they worshiped night. They never met a female that could beat them. So, they started the hand-to-hand forms. As they studied these the girls would practice dancing with the swords. When the orc boys stopped practicing just to watch the girls one of them would appear next to that orc and hit him hard enough that he would get back to practicing, and yet the swords never stopped. When the orcs finished for the day, the girls would practice hand to hand with them. The next week the morning the orcs did hand to hand and in the evening, they learned swords and the girls practiced with the orcs in both hand-to-hand ad at night with swords then the girls would go off and do their magic training and copping. At the end of the second week, they had a special oath ceremony. they had several of the orcs sing the song of truth as the orcs recited their oaths and meditated the major difference was seeing if the swords would accept them usually a sword would only ever have one wielder. So, everyone was hoping for the best the first to go into a trance was Alric. Then it was Duric and finally Orick. When Alric came out, he was crying he looked up and said his great grandfathers blade agrees to work with him to get the shadows back. Next was Orick who was jumping with joy his sword wanted revenge against the shadows so he agreed Duric was the last out and he said his grand fathers blade agreed to be his and warned that the shadows if possessing a body for a long time can resist the song. After all, 3 had a line of orcs to test their skills and all three beat every challenger with ease at first, they fought the opponents singly then the three started to use team work to take the others on not long after they showed this dynamic the orcs came at them 6 at a time but they still overcame all challengers. After Orion took all three on and even though it looked like they had the upper hand Orion still put the 3 of them on their butts but he tested every block and stance each was supposed to learn when each was finally supposed to get up, he capped and told them they are well on the road to being excellent sword mages. Everyone ate and had fun after everyone left the orcs got with the girls who had them learn the songs for the next week the girls and orcs spent the mornings practicing the sword and, in the evening, reading magic and copping it in personal journals. On one such evening Orion ask the orcs to sit and meditate with the swords and ask if there was anything in their storage space all three orcs say there was their ancestors journal and spell books and gold and cores and mithril in them. Orion smiles and says this bounty will help us rebuild the order. As the week ended, they packed everything up and Orion says time to hit the road and put what we have learned to the test. So, the orcs go get there mounts Wargs (big wolf like animals that are bigger than horses. It was quite the show as they left. As they headed towards the high mountains. The horses and Wargs at first had problems but once the ones on horses hit the Wargs when they acted up. The Wargs learned really quick not to do that. So, the left the orc town and traveled the land the orcs sang a song and they looked human and the Wargs looked like Fenrir's. Everyone laughed at the disguise. They came across a large group of beast folk who immediately attacked them. Orion tried to sing the song of truth to calm everyone and that's when he saw and understood they weren't normal beast men but possessed. He shouts these are the ones that have been possessed for a long time. everyone sings as we fight to help weaken them, they used the swords sparingly knowing that there are real people behind being used but they were surrounded and at a certain point Orion said I hate to do this but kill them if you have to. If the song doesn't get it out and it's a choice between the enemy and yourself choose yourself. The battle was long and they fought hard then it happened. As they were fighting Night's father joined the fight and went straight for Night Orion say the look on her face as her own father attacked her, she didn't parry but Orion jumped in and defended her he said get out of here all of you ride to where I told you to go. I will catch up and then he fought the beast men as only he could scales rippled down his arms as he fought, he spit fire like a dragon. He lost himself to the dragon and let it out completely he fought and killed most of the shadows but he captured her father he was going to be his Guinee pig he was going to find a new way to drive the shadows out of people twenty minutes latter he is done with the fight, he has Night's father tied up and blindfolded and he finds his horse and makes sure he is ok, and he heads to meet up with his sudents
