Diary Of Luekiale-Locomono's Mother

[Locomono]

After years of never being able to look at his parents belongings Locomono decided it was time. Their death still seemed so fresh but he had to be the strong bull they brought him up to be. Locomono was raised by orcs you see but their raised him like their own. While going through his mother's bags he came upon a book that was wrapped with a blanket and a talisman was in between the pages. Scratching his head he started flipping through from the beginning and realized he was holding a diary written by his mother Leukiale. The writing on the page separated by the talisman began....n......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................n It was dusk and I went looking for my mate. He had went out to hunt and fish for dinner because our food was running short. I knew of course where to look because of the time. Peering from behind our home in Bloodhoof Village I saw him by the lake hunched over a large bundle.nn"Ahh! Good he has caught much! That looks like a heavy load."nn MOTHER!! MOTHER!! Hurry come see!" My son Brokamono was running at full speed towards me! He snatched my hand and drug me towards my husband, Claymono. As Clay was standing with his catch he raised his palm.nn"Slowly dear, now please don't be shocked."nn"Clay, what is it? What has Broka so excited!"nnAnd as I got closer I saw what Claymono was holding in the bundle. It was not the fish I had thought it was, but a baby Tauren. *I breath deep*nn"Oh Clay."nn Clay nods assuringly to his me. I nod in return. We both looked to Broka, our only son, and say "Broka, this is your new little brother!" Broka then stares at the little bull baby.nn"My brother?!.......Well what is name?" Broka's grin wide. I looked to Clay and he said "Broka this is Locomono."nnBroka still looking at the baby just says "Loco!! We are gonna be best friends!". n........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................n Loco closes the book and wipes away a tear because he had never heard the story before quite like that. Then he looks at the talisman and starts turning it over in his hands. Written in Tauren on the back was "Highmountain" Loco scatches his head. .....to be continued.

Locomono could feel an energy of some sort within the talisman. It felt very kindred to him and he couldn't figure out why. He remembered his mother saying that his family namenwas Highmountain even though that wasn't the family name of the parents that raised him. She never explained why or never got a chance before they died. *sobs* *clears his throat* nLocomono put the talisman around his neck, the air seemed to shift, and he felt a presence nearby. The change in the air caused him no fear because it felt calming. He shrugged this noff and turned the page in his mother's diary.n....................................................................................................................................................................nn After Clay found this abandoned baby Tauren near Stonebull lake we decided without speaking that we would take this child in as our own. We knew this child was not lost and nwas either abandoned or had been kidnapped. Athough if he was kidnapped, then by who and where did they go. But all this meant nothing at the time for all we knew was that this nbull needed a home. Upon bringing him into our hut we decided we should wash him up of course. While taking off the blanket he was wrapped in I found a talisman in the folds. It nhad strange writing on the back that I could only guess was written in Tauren. I will have to have this looked at............nn Brokamono of course was overly excited and running around the house. nn"Mother how old is he?" "When can we play together?" "Will he like me?"nn"Broka of course he will like you and you two will be fishing in Stonebull side by side soon enough" How old is he...I thought....hmmm...I have no idea.n"Broka go help your father bring in whatever he caught before it gets to dark" nn I haven't told Clay or Broka yet that I feel like a new little one is growing inside me. How do I break thisnnews to them now. Oh I'm sure they will be happy but this now means we will have to care for two babies at once. It is a good thing Broka is as good a hunter already if not better nthan his father. We will soon need food for five of us.n....................................................................................................................................................................nn Loco was unaware that his mother hadn't told his father about Eonamona until after he was found near the lake. And it seems the talisman was from his Tauren family and she found it with him and held onto it. Loco feels the presence nearby still and wonders what it may be............................to be continued.
