177 Am I pregnant?
The War between the Ogre's and the Dark Elves that led to the destruction of Elune's clan and the dead of her parent's was precisely because of the God she was a follower off. The distance between the 2 tribes was sufficiently large and there was no friction prior to the attack between them, so what made the Ogre tribe marched in and removed the dark elf?.
The Majority of the Witch Doctors chose to follow the Plaguebringer as their deity and the elimination and collection of the necklace from the Night Elf clan was the perfect test to find a worthy carrier of the Avatar set. However, after all the effort the Ogre put in, she was awarded one of the pieces of the Plaguebringer's avatar set but she was unable to wear it thanks to Louxx refusing to unseal it due to her failure in retrieving the necklace.
The Avatar piece came to be revered by the village as their legacy and with good reason but the oldest and wiser Witch doctors knew that it was a double edge sword, it could bring prosperity to the village if it Chose one of their own but it could also bring their destruction if a chosen came to collect it.
During the Night Elf massacre she was furious, no matter where she looked for survivors she was unable to find them and instead, she created a powerful enemy that was now coming to exact revenge on her whole family.
The Curse cast by Elune was extremely powerful and it was definitely enhanced by the avatar piece granted by Lady Louxx so it was normal to think that the person killing them was a chosen that came for the village legacy.
The strongest people in the village was the Chief who was a Berserker of the 38th level and his wife, the 34 Level Witch Doctor that had been distress since her son went missing a week before.
"Mama!!"
The Witch Doctor mother was sitting in the hidden room of the camp where all the skulls of the Dark Elves were piled in front of the altar that Elune had used to unlock the necklace that fateful night.
"Igor!!...Mama was worried"
Smack..Igor got smack in the back of the head but he just swallowed his tears while he embraced his mother in a big hug.
"I was lost Mama.. I almost die Mama"
"How come you made it ba.."
The Ogre mother didn't get to finish her question when one of the spirits from another of the Elders whisper in her ear "The chosen is here, kill him and lady louxx for sure will reward you"
A jolt passed over the female Ogre and her heart was filled with greed.
The Ogre had been preparing for the moment to redeem herself in front of her deity but she didn't think the opportunity would come so quickly, her level had gone up by 4 in only ten years and with her husband standing by her side, she had a pretty good chance to succeed or so she thought.
She left the crypt for the entrance of the village and she was just in time to see her husband with a giant club that looked more like a jaw bone from a beast coming to pick her up.
"It is bad.. the chosen is too powerful, since we finally found Igor you should escape while I hold them back, just leave the item... it will only bring you trouble"
"Never! The item was given to me and the only way I am parting from it is if they can take it away from my cold corpse, are you still the great warrior I married?"
Spit..grow some balls .
There was nothing the Ogre Chief could do, it was his responsibility to fight to protect the village and die in the battlefield, he was a warrior of Fadall and it was his duty and highest honor to do so but his family didn't have to die specially his son.
The obsession of his wife to keep the Avatar piece brought a calamity to their door steps, the Ogres loved to conquer but it always left a bitter taste when you were in the receiving end of an ass whooping. The female Ogre was not aware that half of the village warriors had already died and that the Witch Doctors lost their Hex Dolls in the first wave, this meant the next curse was going to pass through the gates and wipe everyone, whether children or elderly it didn't matter.
The Chief's wife got to the entrance of the village and joined the other Witch Doctor's casting Wards on the third tiers that were left but they could barely see that behind the Totemic Val'gun there was yet another being that had not moved yet and it was just as big. That being was Remulos who with a wave of his hand sprung tree roots from the ground and entangled his enemies before massive chains appeared out of a magic circle and burn through the wards.
Igor's mother was delusional, she thought it was a stalemate and that now that she was there it was time to tilt the scales.
Totemic Incarnation: Banshee
The Banshees were the restless spirits of evil witches that fear moving on after dead for fear of the punishment they would get for the Evil deeds they did while they were alive.
The Ogre Witch Doctor that idolized the Plaguebringer thought that the Banshee was a perfect representation of the way Louxx would look if she was right in front of her so she worked very hard to acquire the incarnation.
The Banshee open her mouth wide and a stream of disease carrying locust came out, it was the spell Purulence.
Elune just sneered at the incoming spell and in her eyes the person attacking although had some skill was still unrefined in the use of the spirits. Elune countered with a spell only the highly skill could master, Ancestral Avenger.
The spirits of the Dark Elves responded to Elune's called an appeared in front of her absorbing the incoming spell and then using that energy to cast a protection Ward on Elune to protect her from other type of damage.
Elune thought about it and discovered that no matter how many opportunities to attack she gave the Ogres, it would have the same result, defeat. The outcome was already decided so there was no sense in humiliating the valiant efforts of their warriors by toying with them.
Elune started the incantation to her deity Louxx the Plaguebringer.
"Oh my lady, your faithful servant calls upon thee
Show my enemies the true beauty of your Kingdom
Please show them the Ultimate Beauty of Decaying Flesh"
CURSE OF THE SPIRITS
The Sky went even darker than night, even if the sun rarely passed through the trees in the Swamp of Sorrows, the darkness they were feeling in that moment was accompanied by despair. It was extreme despair, the ogre's were seeing themselves committing hideous crimes against their love ones but there was that was having a completely different experience, the spouse of the chief only saw lady louxx move away from her while taking away her avatar piece, this was her deepest fear.
Mama!! Mama! Wailed
The little Ogre wailed as tears fell on his chubby chicks and snot ran down his nose, his mother's incarnation disappeared and her flesh started to decompose. The Curse was the one lace with the divinity over poison and disease from the PlagueBringer and it was too difficult to defend against without another avatar item.
The cries soon came to a stop as the curse reached the child but the wails still reached Elune's ears who inexplicably stop channeling her mana into the item ending the curse.
Rahz looked at Elune with concerned thinking she had used too much energy and got ready to finish the job.
"What is wrong with me?" murmur Elune but the answer to that question came from a very unexpected place.
"There is nothing particularly wrong with you, it is actually quite normal to feel maternal feelings towards the little child since you are expecting one of your own" said Gilgamesh.
"What are you talking about old man?"
"You are going to have a child and the father is that sissy looking guy beside you"
Elune rubbed her belly unconsciously and many thoughts passed through her head before saying to everyone present, "I think that is enough death for today, let's go take a look at my old birthplace".
Elune moved towards the village and felt the connection to the second item of the set almost immediately while the survivors observed her with trepidation. The only exception was Igor's mother that couldn't take her eyes away from the ominous aura coming from the item around Elune's ankle.
Elune passed by the Ogre Female that was kneeling with her face down acting defeated but when the dark elf moved passed her, the Ogre pull out a dagger and launched herself in an all out attack.
