Shortly after a hard-fought battle, a lone Ishtar warrior was left standing among bodies on the floor, exhausted. He barely survived against a group of two Orcras, a bear-like species of warriors, but was able to turn the tides. His partner was not so lucky, though. He approached the body of his partner to check on him and noticed he was still breathing. He received and hard hit from a mace of one of the Orcras but all it did is to leave him unconscious for a while. The other two bears were also breathing but unconscious as the lizard was able to subdue them with hand to hand combat. “I must admit that I have underestimated your people”, the lizard said toward the unconscious Orcras. “No wonder our tribe were having trouble gaining your territory”. He sat on the ground to gain some strength, then thought about needs to be done. Yes, he has won this battle, but he does not know if there’s any more of those people around. He must find hide to rest and then retreat with his partner, but he must do something with the bears. He can just kill them outright, but they might be discovered as he may not have time to hide them. He observed the ruins and was able to find a building that was still in decent condition nearby, which he started to drag the bodies inside of it quickly As he was finally done dragging the last body in the basement of the building, he laid on the mattress to rest for a few moments. After he had enough strength, he stands up and went on to look on his partner, which was still out cold. He inspected him and found no injuries. “Tough as always…”, said the lizard with a bit of disappointment. It was evident he didn’t like his partner. In fact, they were rivals and both fighting for the same rank within the tribe. They were equally matched, so they couldn’t best one or the other. He was hoping he could die by someone stronger than them, which still wasn’t enough. “Hum… Unless…”, said the lizard while he was thinking. An idea popped in his head, then carried his partner’s body on the mattress so he can work more comfortably. Considering they were scouting behind the enemy’s lines; the tribe knew that was a dangerous task. If he murders his partner here and hide his corpse here, no suspicions would be had if he said that he died against the Orcras. They will never investigate war casualties, anyway. “Seems like I’m going to be the one who will be having this rank, after all”, said the lizard with a smirk. “Here, let me make you more comfortable” He then stripped his partner naked to have a good look of his body. His dark-scaled body was athletic, so he couldn’t stop admiring it. “Such a shame… You were quite handsome for a warrior”, which he said as he blushed. “Let’s see something here” He moved his hands along his partner’s body to feel it and aimed for the crotch. He rubbed it long enough to reveal his member and then rubbed it on its turn to harden it up. “Hum… Not bad… But mine’s bigger!”, he said as he chuckled. He continued to observe the body for a bit, the decided he was done playing. He then grabbed the lizard’s head to look at his almost peaceful expression. “Such a shame we were a rival because you were quite handsome on second thought”, as he said this, he smooched on his forehead. “Good night!” He went ahead and quickly twisted the head so he can crack his neck. The body convulsed for a second, then stopped as the last bit of air left his lungs. The lizard then slowly dropped the head on the mattress, as his partner looked like he went to an eternal slumber. He then carried the bodies of the Orcras on the mattress and one by one, he stripped them naked to observe them better. “I must say that I’m happy to have encountered you both”, said with a smile “You have made things much better for me, after all! How about I than you both?” Obviously, his kind of reward he likes to give was to snap their necks. He then grabbed the bears gears but didn’t take most of his partner’s alone to avoid suspicions. He left the corpses alone in the basement, their final resting place, as he retreated to his tribe without much trouble and to enjoy his promotion.
