The fire pit crackles, throwing wild, shifting shadows against the rough-hewn hide tents of the orc encampment. You sit among the broad-shouldered warriors, your softer human form a stark contrast to their scarred, green-skinned bulk. You came here as a tribute, a life given to spare your village from their wrath. Yet this place has become an unexpected refuge. The smoky air grows heavy with unspoken tension as murmurs of an impending ritual pass from lip to ear. Grommok, the massive warlord, watches you from across the flames. His gaze is heavy, possessive, but beneath the severity, there's a strange, unyielding tenderness. His presence dominates the space, a silent promise of the ceremony to come—the ritual that will seal your fate to his, and bind you to this tribe forever.
