Morning wake up...shake up

[Borg]

Routines had been nearly perfected throughout the Skullcrusher Fortress hidden deep within the Ungoro Craters walls.

Trade rich income had been restored and coffers and strongboxes were no longer empty as supplies stood at the ready for seeminly any crisis.

Raid after raid continued to succeed in bringing great weapons and rare resources from hidden caches within Northrends darkest and dangerous places.

Even the young and inexperienced Crushers (twinks) had chosen to assist in the GLORY and PLUNDER that now was commonplace for Clan Skullcrusher across the world.

Battle groups assembled and utilizing the resouces aplenty began to improve and hone the lines of Clan Skullcrusher in terms of realm defenses...thwarting Alliance incursions into horde capital cities and striking at times of OUR choosing deep within Alliance territory and to the chamber doors of thier leadership. Clan Skullcrusher formations now were becoming legendary and the sight of just a few Crushers was enough on many occassion to turn Alliance will into mutiny as thier lines broke even before battles began.

Some even thought the shaking of the ground was more the result of Clan Skullcrusher Battlegroups riding thier War Raptors....sometimes it was true and lil orphans of Ogrimmar waved Skullcrusher flags as the columns of Skullcrushers flooded into Ogrimmar to assist city defenses.

"Yeah...the kids are cute but...when your trying to catch some tail in the evening near the tavern...it just does not help to have lil orphans following you like a living shadow asking you to sign thier pieces of elemental rocks or alliance skulls"; Warmonger Druze, Clan Skullcrusher Realm defense squad.

Todays shaking ground was not the usual fare....strong enough that the power crystal pillars that had held hidden the Clan Skullcrusher fortress began to crack and the power they held arc'ed and sent waves across the courtyards effectively adding to the ground shock. Uglutz's personal pee n puke bucket waked and spilled across his chambers just intime for its contents to cusion himself as he was thrown out of his bed.

*still half asleep but stunned a bit, Uglutz smacks his lips now covered with vomit, pee and swill*

"mmmm *yawns* leftovers" ; Uglutz says as he comes aware of the massive quake

Crushers all begin to awake and stumble from their garrison and across the grounds...some begin to outfit themselves knowing that the elemental effects never have been this strong...others still getting thier bearings fill various comical actions as they too begin to grasp the full fury of this mornings wake up bell.

The morning sky begins to shade and change in color and the air itself stirs with a surge of heat in wakes across the brows of the Clan assembling thier lines and outfitting each other in thier battle gear. Peons rush back n forth attempting to keep thier footing as they dodge between Battle Raptors legs and dodge the occassional falling stones from the Craters walls or the fortress itself. From atop the highest rampart Verissi stands looking through a goblin contraption she had recently erected on the one rampart that rose from the Craters rim..... but had not aimed it at the sky but at the far horizon toward the north east and the night elves territory. Morgh and Galam arise from the stairwell and join Verissi...both looking in the general same direction.

"Good morning brothers" ; Verissi the Scribe welcomes.

"Morning the clockworks say...feels like more like an end of dayz abit" ; remarks Chieftan Morgh as he witnesses several butterflies that once had made home the ledges of Skullcrusher Fortress burst into flame as the air continues to thicken and heat up.

"Ahh...fireflies...now that is appropriate"; evily chuckles Longtooth Galam

Uglutz stumbles to the top step of the Rampart knocking Scryll back into Holyssa and Kalea...they catch him and fling him back up onto the back of Uglutz. Scryll rattles off several face-slaps to both sides of Uglutz's face.

"WAKE UP YOU BUMBLING FOOL!!!" ; Scryll bellows into Uglutz's deaf side ear.

Uglutz flings Scryll from the top of the rampart to and he is caught by Muato below in the courtyard awaiting the orders to roll his lines out of the fortress.

Baracko and Druze in concert agree and state...

"I wouldn't have caught that if you paid me"; Longtooth Baracko chuckles.

"Thats saying alot coming from a loot-whore"; Boss Druze adds in.

The Crusher lines assembled all enjoy the levity of the spirit as Scryll leaps to his War Raptor and spits on the ground.

"Bah...I still will have all your backs...always do....tis why the spirit healer loves me so much more than you all" ; rebuttles Elder Scryll

Back upon the rampart....

"It is the end of dayz and it is the dawn of a new day...our world is being reforged and renewed." ; Scribe Verissi comments calmly while still keeping an eye into her oddly assembled contraption.

*Verissi looks up and over the contraption toward the horizon and pauses for a moment....takes a deep breath*

"Ahh...smells good does it not? I love the smell of fresh ash in the morning" ; Verissi says with a wink as she turns to the Crushers on the rampart.

"Today is a new day indeed...better a day of unknown and new challenges than another day of routine chores" ; Verissi says with abit of joy as she tightens up her battlegear.

Galam turns to Du and instructs him to overfill all the defensive pillars and set all systems to automatic overcharge.

Morgh leans over the Rampart edge and bellows down to the assembled full garrison of Clan Skullcrushers below all itching to get into action.

FOR HONOR AND GLORY!!!! Morgh shouts as he thrusts his battlestaff into the air and it cracks with energy.

BLOOD AND THUNDAH!!! the garrison all reply in thunderous chorus.

The Skullcrushers all leap from the rampart down upon the grounds or upon thier awaiting War Raptors and join the massive wave of Skullcrushers now flowing out of the fortress protection into the crater and out across the new landscape....as they rumble out of the crater the ground itself around them is in upheaval and changing.

Galam stands alone atop the fortress and makes his way down to the depths of the Blood Godz temple....he overcharges the temple and he and Du turn a giant disc buit directly into the floor of the temple. A massive ball of bloody red energy begins to appear and grow within the temple itself. Galam hands Du a hearthstone and they both channel thier energy and dissappear. Even without a lower jaw one could see a smile or smirt appear on Galam's face.

"It is Time..." ; Galams image says as it dissapears.
