Warrior of Ghorvann · Premium Story

Narrator captions no tails: VORAKHAN. GHORVANN. THE ORKYOS DID NOT LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND. THEY GREW STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY IT.
Narrator: NEROK WAS A BARBARIAN. AMONG HIS PEOPLE, THAT MEANT DISCIPLINE. RAGE WAS FIRE. HELD WITHIN A FORGE, IT COULD CREATE.
Narrator: SKUDA PRESERVED ANCESTRAL WISDOM. FUTURA BUILT WHAT HAD NEVER EXISTED. THE ORKYOS CARRIED BOTH.
Narrator: ORDO MEANT DISCIPLINE AND PURPOSE, NOT MORAL PERFECTION. THEIR STRENGTH WAS LEARNING WHEN TO HOLD BACK.
Narrator: THE FIRST REPORTS CAME FROM DROKHAR. Nerok: ALIVE. UNWOUNDED. BUT SOMETHING IS TAKING WHAT THE MACHINES CANNOT REPLACE.
Narrator: WEEKS AFTER THE DRAINING, PHYSICAL PREDATORS APPEARED. THE MINAS CALLED THEM RAPAX. Nerok: WHY STEAL THE DEAD?
Narrator: GHORVANN PREPARED. SCIENCE WATCHED MATTER. THE KEEPERS LISTENED FOR WHAT HAD NO BODY.
Nerok: CAN IT HEAR US? Keeper: IT CAN HEAR MORE THAN US. IT IS DRINKING.
Narrator: HIS ARMOUR WAS UNTOUCHED. HIS VITALS WERE NORMAL. HIS SPIRITUAL ENERGY WAS FALLING.
Keeper: NO. IT FEEDS ON ENERGY. Nerok: THEN I WILL GIVE IT SOMETHING DIFFICULT TO SWALLOW.
Narrator: THE RED STATE AWOKE. HIS MIND REMAINED HIS OWN. BUT STRENGTH COULD NOT CUT WHAT HAD NO FLESH.
Narrator: LESS THAN THIRTY SECONDS. THE GHOST WAS GONE. THE LOSS REMAINED.
Narrator: WITHIN WEEKS, GHORVANN BEGAN TO EMPTY. MEDICINE COULD MEND THE BODY. IT COULD NOT REPLACE WHAT WAS BEING STOLEN.
Narrator: THEN THE RAPAX CAME. NO SHIPS. NO WARNING FROM ORBIT. SUDDENLY, THE ENEMY HAD FLESH.
Nerok: FINALLY.
Narrator: FUTURA FIREPOWER. ANCESTRAL STEEL. THE ORKYOS FOUGHT AS ONE.
Narrator: COURAGE WAS NOT ONLY THE CHARGE. IT WAS THE SPACE THEY HELD FOR OTHERS TO ESCAPE.
Nerok: PUT THEM DOWN! Narrator: AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEY ABANDONED THE FIGHT TO TAKE THE FALLEN.
Nerok: THIS ISN'T CONQUEST. THEY'RE HARVESTING.
Narrator: GHORVANN HELD. HUNDREDS OF BODIES WERE STILL MISSING. Mother dialogue: WHY WOULD THEY TAKE HIM?
Scientist: THESE STRUCTURES RESEMBLE MINAS CELLS. THESE... ORKYO TISSUE. Nerok: FROM THE BODIES THEY TOOK? Scientist: WE DON'T KNOW.
Nerok: WHAT IF THE RAPAX AREN'T THE EXPERIMENTERS? WHAT IF THEY ARE THE EXPERIMENTS?
Keeper: THE SIGNATURES ARE STRONGER. Nerok: PHYSICALLY? Keeper: NOT YET. BUT THEY ARE LEARNING TO EXIST HERE.
Narrator: NOT WORDS. AN IMPULSE. BODY. LEARN. ENTER.
Nerok: THEY'RE NOT TAKING BODIES FOR FOOD. THEY'RE LEARNING HOW TO BECOME US.
Narrator: THE ORKYOS STILL HAD NO NAME FOR THE MASTERS. ONLY A QUESTION... AND A PROMISE. Nerok: ONE DAY, YOU'LL BUILD YOURSELVES BODIES.
Nerok: AND WHEN YOU DO... YOU'LL FINALLY GIVE ME SOMETHING I CAN FIGHT.
Nerok: WE HELD THE CITY. THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE UNDERSTAND THE WAR. Grath: THEN WHAT DO WE DO?
Nerok: WE STOP ASKING ONLY HOW TO KILL THEM. Scientist: AND START ASKING WHAT THEY NEED. Nerok: AND WHAT WE CAN KEEP FROM THEM.
Morga: THE LIVING COME FIRST. Thokk: THEN WE KEEP THEIR ROAD OPEN.
Drex: YOUR CRYSTAL FINDS WHAT MY INSTRUMENTS MISS. Keeper: YOUR INSTRUMENTS LET OTHERS SEE IT. Narrator caption: NEITHER PATH COULD FACE THIS ALONE.
Narrator: THE MISSING WERE NOT NUMBERS. THEY HAD NAMES. CLANS. PEOPLE STILL WAITING. Urzaka: WE WILL NOT LET YOU BE FORGOTTEN.
Keeper: YOUR RAGE CANNOT FILL WHAT THEY HAVE TAKEN. Nerok: NO. BUT I CAN CHOOSE WHAT I DO WITH IT.
Nerok: WATCH TOGETHER. SHARE EVERY SIGN. NO ONE FACES THE GHOSTS ALONE. Narrator: THEIR FIRST ANSWER WAS NOT A STRONGER WEAPON. IT WAS REFUSING TO STAND APART.
Narrator: THEY STILL DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE MASTERS WERE. OR HOW TO REACH THEM. BUT GHORVANN HAD BEGUN TO CHANGE ITS QUESTION. NOT ONLY: HOW DO WE FIGHT? BUT: HOW DO WE KEEP ONE ANOTHER WHOLE?
Genesis: CAN A WORLD WIN... AND STILL LOSE SO MUCH? Kronos: YES. THAT IS WHY STRENGTH MUST LEARN TO PROTECT MORE THAN ITSELF.
