The Orc of Many Questions (The Book of Many Orcs)

Orcs don’t like questions. Everybody with a brain knows that. Orc tribes save their strength for fighting, not thinking. They survive by raiding the lands of weaker races, repeating it year after year to offer tribute to the masters of their mountain home.

Life on Firebrand Peak is short and nasty. Death comes quickly and the fallen are soon forgotten. Generations pass, yet the tribe remains brutally the same.

Until one little orc starts asking too many questions.

Reading was always an escape, however at some point all the stories began to jumble and take on a life of their own, refusing to be contained. Wizards may find themselves in my worlds, however creating something I can share with others is for me the best kind of magic. shanemichaelmurray.com
