4.   The Story of Ooghra and Luciendar 

**********************************************************


Ooghra - at lvl 80
 

She was only a pup when it happened, maybe six or seven.  Old enough to carry an axe and help her father kill boars and deer for meat, but her trial of womanhood was still several years away.  She was still so very young when the Gorefangs came. 
 

Her own tribe - the Frostwolves - were much greater and stronger than the rebellious and vicious Gorefangs.  This opposing tribe was nothing but a "ragtag bunch of weak-blooded, honorless orcs," according to her father.  Their numbers were fewer, their muscles weaker.  But they seemed to have a type of magic that made them stealthy -- nearly invisible!  They came in the still of night when most were sleeping, and they caught Ooghra Wolf-heart's family on a scouting mission, miles away from the rest of the tribe.  The Wolf-hearts were slain in a most cowardly fashion.  Only one of them, the smallest and most easily overlooked, escaped the slaughter. 
 

Hiding in the brush outside her lean-to of rocks and bear skins, Ooghra watched as they drug the bodies of her mother, father, and three siblings away into the darkness.  Her face was hot with tears and fury.  Her lower lip bled from where she had bitten it with her sharp teeth.  She swore on her family's honor that she would claim her revenge a hundred-fold. 
 

Eventually young Ooghra, having garnered enough knowledge of tracking and hunting from her skillful father, made her way back to the central Frostwolf tribe and rejoined her people.  They welcomed her as their lost daughter and trained her further along the path meant for her: the path of a hunter.  She embraced it eagerly.  Though she trained hard for many years, she never forgot the oath she had taken to avenge her bloodline. 
 

As she grew in ability she came to work closely under Thrall, once or twice taking orders from the Warchief directly.  One such mission sent her to Tirisfal Glades and the cursed cathedral of the Scarlets.  She was to infiltrate the Monestary and seek out a member of the Forsaken who had been taken there to be questioned and tortured. 
 

Upon breaching the inner corridors of the Monestary, Ooghra was surprised by something she didn't expect to find: a young blood elf in heavy armor, wearing the crest of a dark paladin, fighting valiantly against a group of Scarlet soldiers.   
 

Now, Ooghra had never thought highly of the Sin'dorei.  She couldn't understand what good they were, and why Thrall had thought them so worthy of joining the Horde in the first place... but she also knew what despicable things the Scarlets would do to him if they had the opportunity.  And the elf, though clearly outmatched, was fighting with skill and bravery.  Without further thought, Ooghra drew her bow and crippled the three Scarlets, allowing the knight to finish them off. 
 

The elf was Luciendar of Silvermoon. 
 

Though they made an odd pair if ever there was one, they found that not only could they tolerate each others' company -- but they actually worked quite well together, with Luciendar charging forward in distraction, while Ooghra launched a volley of arrows at her unsuspecting victims. 
 

The Horde advancement into the Dark Portal had begun by this time, and both orc and Sin'dorei alike were eager to venture forth and prove useful for their people.  Ooghra was reunited with her ancestors, the Mag'har, and discovered her calling as a defender of Garadar.  She spent over a year in Nagrand, studying her peoples' culture and learning more in the ways of training beasts and Talbuks. 
 

Luciendar was welcomed by the Scryers in Shattrath City and has taken a liking -- almost an obsession -- to the swamps of Zangarmarsh.  His powers in Retribution continue to grow daily. 
 

These days, Ooghra's wanderings have taken her to the farthest, coldest reaches of Northrend, and she continues to serve the Horde with fierce pride.  Her blood-oath to avenge her family still weighs heavily on her mind, but the war with Arthas has pushed her personal feelings to the wayside for the time being.  As long as there is still breath left in her, Ooghra Wolf-heart will fight on.
