1 Orc and man

As the Sun rose over the Azerback mountain, it's rays lighted borderland a Swampy forest and a barren moor deep in the Necross wilderness. Two figures ran out of the forest, looking tired and exhausted, their breathing heavy.

One was a human about 5'8, powerfully built with dark long hair tied in a bun, clean shaven face, black eyes and dark olive skin. He was draped in black from head to toe, black lines painted on his face and a strange metal rod on his hand.He look like a mercenary hired by the God of death himself, terrifying, silent and strange.

The other one was an orcette, a female orc. She was naked and covered in blood, a huge battle-axe in her hand, about six feet tall, powerful physique, dark green skins, dark dreadlocks, green eyes and tusks protruding from her lower jaw. She look like the goddess of war in all her naked glory.

The man stopped and turned around, pointing the end of the iron rod towards the forest. He gave a sigh of relief. Seeing her companion stopped, the Orc stopped as well.

"They had stopped," said the man in orcish.

"They would have," said the orc," trolls are weak against sunlight."

"We should picked a place to regain our strength," said the man," I am exhausted. By the way, I am Alexander Savage, commander of the Black Mamba Mercenary corp. Pleased to meet you." He put out his right hand, his palm open.

"Karagoth Strongblood of the Broken Tusks mercenaries Corp," said the Orc, beating her chest, squeezing her right titty.

....

Alex was in a strange situation. He was in a walking up a craggy hillside with a hot, naked green woman with boarlike tusks. He didn't knew what to make of it. A day ago, he was in the forest of Colombia along with his mercenary squads, having destroyed a drug manufacturing factory of the Medelin Cartel on behalf of an unknown employer, when a sudden mist covered the forest and when it cleared he was in a swampy forest, under a blue sky with visible rings of space rocks and dusts.

He encountered three hostiles, three hulking green humanoids wearing armors made of animal skins, bones, hides and metals and armed with huge swords and axes. Thankfully, he had his trusted benelli M4 shotgun.He wasted them easily. He check their bodies and found some gold coins.

Orcs. That was the green hulks race according to popular fantasy troupe. A warmongering people,often evil or neutral evil.

He saved another orc from ugly Giants called trolls. He had to kill one troll by wasting a whole round of slugs on its face to saved the stubborn orc. The orc was the source of his uneasiness, mainly because it was a female and totally naked, her whole body exposed. Moreover, she was on standing just a few feet away, her right feet clasped to her left chest, her eyes bowed.

"I, Karagoth Korathin take the oath of Durac to John Savage," Said Kara, seriously,

"For saving me from a disgraceful death."

"Huh....What are you spouting,"asked Alex, looking confused. The two were speaking English" What's this oath of Durac?."

"A Durac oath is an oath of seven years servitude for a debt to be paid by the debtor to the one whom the debt is owed. Essentially a debt slave."

"A slave," gasp Alex, shaking his head,

"No no no... You don't have to go that far. It will be fine with gold." He took out a gold coin from his pocket.

"Unfortunately, I don't have anything other than my battle-axe," said Kara," which I cannot give. Therefore, being a slave is my only choice. Moreover, the oath has been given. If you refuse, I will have to kill you."

"Really," said Alex, scratching his hair,

"I guess I have no choice then but it feels wrong."

"Slavery is a common practice in this world," Said Kara,"The Strong eats the weak. There is nothing wrong with that."

"Well, the thing is," said Alex," I am from another world."

"What," Said Kara, dumbfounded.

Alex told her his story from the start to finish. When he mentioned the three orcs, Kara tighten her fists and gritted her teeth.

When he asked if they were people she knew, she said yes.

"Those cowards,"Said Kara," They ran as soon as we started losing. Those southern orcs have no honour."

"Oh," Said John,"Well, do you believe me."

"I don't know what to believe but your looks, accent, clothes, manners and especially that weapon of yours is alien to me," Said Kara, her eyes landing on the benelli, " and you don't seem to be lying. But such a thing cannot happened. Only a powerful mage or deity can do that. But What does it have to do with slavery.?"

"Everything,"said Alex," My ancestors fought to eradicate slavery. I am not a saint but I did my part in fighting against such evil practices. Moreover, in my world, slavery is a thing of the past and is seen as the absolute crime against humanity."

"Well, in this world, humans are the most proficient and the cruelest slavers," Said Kara in disgust" I heard Poor human parents will sell their own children for slavery. That's something an orc would never do and human calls us savages."

"Well, in my world, that happened in the past," said Alex," but it does not happened anymore."

"Do not worry about it," Said Kara, " You are not in your world anymore and as you are here, you have to adjust in here. As they say, When in Eldor, do as Eldor does."

"I guess that's it but I still don't know how I got here," Said Alex," I pray that I am not a part of a phophecy or something like that."

"Magic," Said Kara with a growl," only a deity or a powerful mage can do that."

"So magic exist here," asked Alex, a little excited.

"Yes," Said Kara,"but don't be so stupid to think that you can do magic. Only few with magical talent can use magic."

"You sound like you don't like mages," said Alex, looking at Kara.

"I don't," said Kara," they are a cowardly bunch, who only attack from the back. A real warrior fight battles head on. There's a cave. we should rest there."
