Chapter 3

Born and bred to follow his father's hoof prints, Merlah was raised
to fight along side the human of Modan. He took quickly to the sword
given to him by his father, and watched with a careful eye, the city
streets of Modan. Althou he performed trivial and remedial tasks
in his watch of Modan, he felt unfulfilled. One day while cleaning
the black swords of his human counterparts, he overheard a commotion.
Springing to action, he snatched his sword, and hurried to find
an elf, with his hands still smoldering.. in tiny bits on the road.
The dismembered corpse was surrounded by three dark figures.
As Merlah's eye raised from the smoldering corpse, he took gaze on them.
Slowly turning and dropping their hoods, Merlah was surprised to see
a minotaur, betwixt a human, and duergar. All three of which wore
Imperical clothing of a Shaman. The minotaur snapped and the two others
came to attention. He shouted something in common tongue and they quickly
gathered up the elf's possessions. As quickly as they snapped up the garb,
they turned for the woods, struggling to pull the weight, and not daring
to even raise their eyes to meet the minotaur's, whom obviously was in command.
Merlah stammered, 'They... they let you fight with them?' and the minotaur
spoke, "I'm in charge of them.", he snarled. The shaman glanced over
Merlah with steely eyes. "Come here, cow." Merlah approached him
apprehensively, and managed to stammer out "Ye,ye,yes, sir?" as he
snapped to a salute. The shaman chortled at his amusing
antics. "I have much to teach you, mumble tounge."
Many weeks followed with the repeated visits by the Imperical shaman.
With each visit, be brought Merlah a new scalp, and told him of the
crimes against the Lord Khasotholas, the previous owner had commited.
He learned of the Order, brought by an iron fist of the Emperor, led
by The Hornet. He taught Merlah the lessons gave to him by the Lord
and the Empire. He taught him of the foes whom stand to oppress the
Order the Empire and his Lord gives to Therans. The ways of his guild
came quickly to Merlah, as he took to study under Lord Khasotholas,
and serve the Empire. For months Merlah studied this craft, and soon,
he felt prepared. Redied as he was, he left the cityguard to find
his rightful place in the Empire, and serve his new found Lord.
