“No, I do not.” You replied to Hellscream. “You come to my lands and try to reach Alterac and do Light knows what. I can’t accept it and I can’t allow it. Letting you go just like that would be a stain on my honour, a Perenolde letting an orc go.”

You dismounted Epona before taking off your glasses and your Chaperon next. Wrapping the glasses within your hat, you threw the hat to Malevus.

“Alric, what are you doing?” Malevus asked.

You drew the Cinder Sword and with a snap of your fingers made it burst into fire. The flames crept up the blade till they reached the hilt and licked your gloved hand, droplets of liquid fire dropping on the grass underneath your feet.

You swung the blade once and stared at Hellscream.

“I challenge you to a duel till first blood.” You said to him and looked into his red eyes with your Fel green eyes. “The loser withdraws to from whence they came.”

“Is that wise?” Gravis protested.

“I cannot let his trespassing go without a reply.” You said back to him and looked back at Hellscream.

The large orc stared at you for a while before starting to laugh. His deep bellowing laughter filled the valley, echoing between the mountains.

“I heard of you from Thrall, that you are a good fighter for having beaten him.” Hellscream spoke to you and laughed a bit more. “Testing my mettle against someone who fought and beat him, that is acceptable.”

“You can still back off!” Gravis shouted to you. “It is the fucking Hellscream, not some random orc and you aren’t wearing your armour!”

“Wonderful, I am ready whenever you are ready.” You replied to Hellscream. “To first blood!”

“First blood it is!” Hellscream laughed and seemed to be enjoying this moment now that he got to fight.

You raised your blade above your head and took a stance to receive the larger orcs charge. Hellscream was stronger, larger and faster than you, but you were sure that you had the finesse required to defeat him. You watched as Hellscream did the same, digging his heels into the dirt and hefting his axe up with both of his hands. He was ready to charge you.

“Alric! Stay safe!” Malevus shouted to you. “Don’t get hurt!”

QM: Hubris, >>6281901 you found the person that can beat you. Congratulations, you are dueling him right now and he is a really fucking big and angry orc with a really fucking huge axe.
