The hulking Tauren scanned his azure eyes over the ruins of his former home. Painful memories--of death, carnage, destruction--continued to flow into his mind, those of his family, his kin, laying dead before him. Years had passed, and yet his travels had returned him to whatever remained of his home. No bodies, but skeletons of his past were visible in only his eyes. He slowly moved over to the very center. In this spot used to stand a majestic bonfire--flames that could be seen for miles around. Now, all that remained was a pile of ash. Huatar went to a knee, wiping the dirt over the pile of ash with only a wave of his hand.
He leaned back on his legs, moved his eyes over whatever remained of the campgrounds that he once called home. Then, with a grunt, he lifted himself with only the strength of his legs and continued to walk around the camp. He only stopped as he approached a mound some ways away from the camp. From the ground was the banner of his people, and a rusted, rune-carved spear.
The Earthspear, the true symbol of his people.
Huatar approached the weapon; reached his hands out to grab the spear. With a forceful pull, the feather-trussed spear brought up dirt along in its ascent. With a swing, Huatar slung the spear around his back. With a turn, he took one last look over the camp.
This was his home. Here, the Earthspear shall return. Here, the Earthspear shall stand.
Here, the Earthspear shall live.
(( Very rushed, not my best at ALL. ))
