<strong>High Orc, Balthus</strong>| HP: 3 MP: 1 | OT: 0/70 | GP: 0/100 | Bond: 50%<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial black;">T</span><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">hat bulky, monstrous, beast stood in the entrance to the large opening. The Orc found this palace the most peculiar of the ones he'd visited. At least, now he had the ability to find things strange. Before the Orc had simply wandered uncaringly, now though the Orc actually had a sense of realizing such things. The beaches the Orc could understand, humans loved sand and sun so why wouldn't Goddess. Even those garish palaces, the simplicity of the burrow, were things the Orc could reason with. Yet, this is what made the least sense to the Orc. Who exactly would care to live in such a cold place? Surely Goddess could choose better places to reside. Where the Orcs hide not so thick, the beast would no doubt be shivering or risk freezing to death. Even with that thick layer of protection the Orc couldn't help but feel that rising cold slowly wearing away at the Orcs patience. At last the Orc had found some kind of salvation. A large room where the cold wasn't quite as knowing or taxing.. and perched at the other end of the room was a certain Goddess who seemed to be preparing to dip into a bath.<br/><br/>The butterfly that landed on the Orcs shoulder, soon scurried off. The Orc hard 'hmph' was more than enough to convince the little insect that it was likely to be squashed should the Orc notice it. That mass of green slowly made its way into the seemingly enormous bath. Or was it a pool? Regardless that pure water was defiled by the Orcs presence, it's very being, as that dirty and musky creature slowly waded through the pool and made its way towards her. Aqua. Residing in water. Surely it wasn't a coincidence. The Orc had remembered clearly how the Snow Slut had used the Ice to her advantage. He could only imagine the girl would use the water to her advantage.<br/><br/>Even if she did the Orc would, at the very least, get some information out of the Goddess before they two of them ended up clashing. Clashing was inevitable. What the Orc wanted was her, and more after her, something that the Goddess would no doubt <em>never</em> allow.<br/><br/><strong>"Azura said you grant speed, wisdom.
