[Vidish]

---

Vidish was alone and enjoying the silence. It never bothered him to be alone in the woods outside Cove, and it doesnt bother him now to be alone in the woods outside Umbra. These woods were much more quiet than the ones he was accustomed to, the animals were far more scarce and the trees far less living. All any of this meant was that there were less distractions while he studied the book given to him by Fiona D'Rue.

The silence was broken by a loud gutteral call becoming far too familiar. It was Grash-Nak calling him to assemble. Once back to the fort he saw only a few of his clan just enough to give the "Sneekies" trouble. His orders were to wait for the others to show and send them to the "Sneekies" dojo. Sitting on his ridgeback waiting for the others gave him time to think reflect.

The "Sneekies" known to the humans as Blue Lotus or ninjas, had become the focus of battle due to their constant will to fight. The only time the humans stood up to the orcs was when they knew they could count on the "Sneekies" to help them. What had the orcs done to provoke the ninjas? Nothing, much the same as with Moonglow or Sanctus. From the first day out of Cove the humans had treated the orcs with so much disrespect it was sickening. The only ones who treated them well were the undead. The Lich Lord, Darrien Church himself showed more appreciation for the orcs than any human or elf. It was the constant disrespect leading the orcs after Sanctus. And Moonglow? Well Moonglow was as much business as it was personal. It seemed like every night that they were on the island, normally looking for someone or to cause trouble for the Lich Lord. Truthfully Vidish was getting sick of fighting every night. His only interest in Moonglow was the literature he knew was there. Malabelle's house was supposed to be on the Island somewhere as well as a library full of books he hadn't even heard of yet. Either way things were happening and he wasnt in a position to change them.

After sending a few returning orcs to towards the dojo Vidish decided it was time for him to go. As usual he needed to restock his potions, conflaguration and explosion potions were a must. Since learning alchemy from one of the books he'd found, the want to practice his bombing was the only fun in battle. Before he was even to the bank in Zento he could see the orcs of his clan. They were standing in front of the building on the other side of the town wall, but he couldnt see how many ninjas were opposing them. The idea that he would be able to see them all was fairly stupid anyway, but he was told to come ready to fight, and that was the plan.

By the time that he did get to the dojo there was already one casualty and a mess of broken items. Apparently Grash had given the order to destroy the dojo. Looking through the dojo there were plenty of menues and more books. They looked like news and a few about the Blue Lotus themselves. A mass of confusion led to happy times for a distracted orc. He looked up from a menu at the sound of "Clomp dis humie" reacting too quickly he set off more than a couple bombs at his own feet and one in his pack. Excitement had nearly caused him to comit suicide. That cannot happen again.
