Kurdan and The Sacred River - page2 (Patreon)

A short while passes as the orc wades around in the shallow side of the river, enjoying the cooling waters on his sore feet. They didn't ease his frustration though. “Course there ain't nothing here. It's just a stupid legend.” Kurdan sighed in exasperation as he leaned over to get a handful of the amazingly clear waters. He had never seen water so pure. But it was still just water. The young orc greedily gulps down the water before letting out a blech of appreciation. “Well I’m not gonna get any closer to the village waiting here. Man I can't wait to see the look on the elders faces when-”

Kurdan silenced himself as his ears heard something behind him moving in the water. He looked down to see the ripple of something that had disturbed the calm waters around him. The warrior quickly spun around to confront...nothing? “Must have been a fish I guess. I need to get a grip. There isn't anything here cept me.” The orc let out a class!ing sigh as he let his tense muscles relax, the sound of rippling water helping to calm beast.
