Humans are Space Orcs, “Armor.”
A ton of changes have been going on at my college right now. So sorry for not getting this out at a good time. This is all my brain wanted to right today, because I am kind of out of it right now. but I hope you still like it.
I was standing in the warm morning sun. It beat down onto my back as I stood, feet cool against the damp moss. A soft breeze whipped at my bare chest and stirred around the hair on my face and jaw.
I lean against the spear staring out over the horizon eyes narrowed as I attempted to spot any incoming hostiles.
The more northern clans had been encroaching on our territory lately, and our Sentinel said they were likely to mount a full scale attack within the next few lunar cycles. I tended to believe him.
The thought makes me very worried, for one giant primary reason.
I am a human and these guys are Drev.
IF you don’t know what drev are you probably living under a rock but just to refresh your memories. Six limb 7-10 foot tall monstrosities with a glorious history of cultural combat practices. Humans: 5-7 foot tall monstrosities with a history of trying to avoid glorious combat whenever possible in lieu of chucking explosives at each other over long distances.
Yeah, those guys.
But about six months ago I had taken a trip to Anum to get my head back on straight. The war with the Burg had brought up some…. Deep personal problems I wasn’t aware I still had one of the primary ones being that I hadn’t yet gotten over what happened during Operation Steel eye, when the UNSC welded an exoskeleton to my spine and then shot me full of opiates and amphetamines
But that was a long time ago.
Still, the memories were sharp. I thought not thinking about them would solve my problems, but it turned out it just bottled them up to deal with at a later date.
So I had stepped away from the situation, taken civilian transport to Anum, the place where it had all gone down, and integrated myself into one of the Drev clans fully on their side this time.
I had left a lot of friends and family behind. I had left my crew behind, but I knew that this was something that I needed to do before returning, before actually getting back to myself.
Yeah, yeah I get that it sounds like some kind of new age bullshit, but I guess whatever works.
And damn was it working.
Maybe if it wasn’t going to work for my mental issues it would definitely work for any physical ones I had.
I haven't been in this good a shape ever.
Probably look the best I ever have minus the bad haircut and short scruffy beard.
Hair which was still dyed green by the way.
I sense him coming before I see him, moving up from the rocks at my back. He isn’t trying to hide himself, but Drev are kind of like that in a way. They are quieter than they might first appear.
I still keep my eyes on the horizon.
“Jastish stadik?”
“je. “
He wants to know if I have seen anything, but I haven’t.”
“Juhkee zhe tsak tatal tanantahik.”
I stepped down and out of his way as he took my spot on guard duty.
“Ts Zhin.” I say holding up a hand in goodbye and turning back towards the village leaving him to stare out at the rising sun.
I take the shortcut, cutting down a shallow gully, leaping from rock to rock my feet sure against the stone and moss. Another chill wind blows past me causing an eruption of goosebumps over my back and torso. I glance over towards the mountains which have been more active as of late. The dark season is on its way, and I know that my time here is growing short.
I approach the edge of the village stopping when I see a familiar figure crouched over the moss plucking bulb fruit from where it grows in the fertile, volcanic soil.
I pull to a stop beside her old wizened form, “Nak.” I say
Hijan looks up at me her warm honey eyes scrunching in a sort of smile. She likes it when I call her that.
“Tsata.” she beckons me forward, and I kneel on the moss next to her reaching out to pluck one of the ripe fruits.
She ignores the fruit taking my face in her hands to examine me turning my head this way and that.
She plays with my hair eyes narrowed with dissatisfaction. She rubs the stubble on the side of my face.
“Etatan.” furry
I smile, “Yid zhe rekazi.” I know.
I don’t even bother trying to pill away from her hands as she tries to fix my hair. I have tried to keep it short, but cutting your hair with a hunting knife is never an advised practice, and even I know I have done a questionable job. Hijan has been doing it for me, but its not like she went to cosmetic school.
I look like a caveman.
Aside from the colorful hair, nails.
She brushes my hair back looking at me in a contemplative manner of some kind, “zhe tsajat tsa dadik.” She finally says motioning me to follow her.
She wants to show me something.
Curious, I stand and follow after her my feet passing over sun warmed rock. The sun is up now, and one of their moons hangs just above and to the right.
We head towards her little cottage at the side of the village greeting others as we walk through the town. I can already hear the sound of the morning drills.
One of the Drev officers nods to us from where he sits by his cottage. In his arms he holds a tiny bundle.
I've seen Latinar’s newborn, she's super cute, and he even let me hold her.
That interesting thing about Drev society. Once the kits are born, the father is the primary caretaker while the mother goes off to war. I mean this is primarily because the males are the only ones that can feed the kits. Ha ha they have pit nipples.
Yeah, you heard me right, Under either of their lower pair of arms.
They have two even though twins for Drev are extremely rare, like stupid rare.
When the kit finally reaches its first lunar marker, the father will have the opportunity to name the kid.
He told me he’s thinking about naming her Ralata.
So he’s pretty much naming his kid dirt, but I suppose our connotations of dirt and their connotations of dirt are much different. He fades into the background as we reach Hijan’s cottage, and we step inside.
The moss covering the roof is mostly turquoise, so the light that filters down is almost blue. When it does, I am surprised to see a set of armor pieces resting against the ground glittering in the blue light.
I look at her, confused, “Nin tin?’” What is this?
She takes a hand and nudges me forward.
“Zhe teeya tsa nak chazi.” I made it for you
Hesitantly, I walk over and kneel next to the pieces.
Armor
Beautifully made armor.
Wide-eyed, I run my hands over the warm metal pieces. This is like nothing I have ever seen before. Like No Drev or human armor. Drev armor. This armor has straps: which most Drev armor doesn’t, but it is like no human armor in the way that it is designed and crafted
“Tsa sdarat nak zhegingish?”
I turn to look at her, “Well of course I want to try it!”
In my excitement I forget which language we are speaking, but she seems to understand, and is very happy with my enthusiasm.
She moves forward and shows me how to put all the pieces together. It is a very complicated system, and I am reminded that, like Sunny, hijan was originally trained as an engineer. The lower pieces buckle on, but the upper pieces slide into each other.
And there are a lot of pieces which interlock over each other thickest around my chest and shoulders. Some for my thighs and arms and shins. She even made gloves for my hands, which is kind of crazy considering Drev don’t use gloves.
I shift in place testing the armor.
It’s heavy, but not as heavy as I thought it should be.
I was getting a bit of a medieval feel, though in a way more badass way.
She stand sbefore me looking very pleased with herself.
“Wow.” I mutter
She holds up the last peace smiling, and I lower my head, so she can place on the helmet.
When it’s all done, I look up at her, and I can see the pride in her eyes.
“Tsa cheekish.”
“Yid nezanin.” Of course, of course a thousand times of course I like it.
She beams with pleasure.
“Tsa Daklan!” You’re Amazing
“Zhe rekazi.” I know
I laugh and after a second of thought, I hug her. She’s much taller than me, so I am pretty much hugging her waist like a child. She steps back a bit in surprise, but then seems happy wrapping all four of her arms around me.
Our moment is ruined almost immediately as the alarm is raised, and we break apart.
She points me towards the door, “Ajish.”
“J tsa.”
“Ajish! Zhe tahaji.”
Folowing her orders, I turn on my heels and run from the hut, the armor clinking around my body. It’s harder to run in this, but I am in good shape.
Outside, everyone is scrambling to assemble themselves together. I meet with a column of warriors as they race towards the side of the village.
They look at me with questions on their faces, but then turn their focus back to the matter at hand.
I follow after.
Orders are shouted, and we are directed into groups, battle pairs forming up. I wave the officers on, but one still stops to look at me, “Kayad tsa daeen tadish.” Should you be here
The question isn’t rude. In fact, he seems worried, but I wave him off, “zhe yahan!”
He looks skeptical but runs off.
A moment later a shadow darkens my back, and I turn to see Hijan pull up next to me.wearing her armor.
She nods and I nod back.
My palms are sweating so bad.
I grip my spear more tightly
I can hear shouting in the distance as our group begins to march. It gets louder and louder as we break into a light jog, and then a full sprint. We crest the hill…. To look down on a battlefield.
