The Pride of the Thunderhorn Series

Сообщение от HiVolt

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been coming up with a concept for an ongoing saga of fan fiction, revolving around the exploits of a single character and his allies. It wasn't until a few days ago that I actually started writing it. So, I've decided to share it with all of you. This is the first story in the saga. The events in this series take place one year before World of Warcraft.

The Pride of the Thunderhorn - Upon his father's death, Ogun is named the Chieftain of the Thunderhorn Tauren. But before he can lead his tribe, he must complete a rite of passage.

Volume I: "An-she" - Ogun attends his father's funeral and departs on his journey.
Volume II: Tales of the Past - Ogun comes across an old orc Shaman and learns of his past.
Volume III: Hunted - Ogun and his kodo find themselves in trouble when hunted by raptors.
Volume IV: The Greed of Goblins - Ogun is put to the test by a favor for a greedy goblin.
Volume V: Ancestral Guidance - Ogun finds shelter on the savanna and contacts the spirits.
Volume VI: The Brutality of the Barrens - Ogun learns why the Barrens lives up to its namesake.
Volume VII: Vacancy - Ogun finds himself in the Crossroads with a wayward troll.
Volume VIII: The Patriarch of the Savanna - Ogun aids a lion in defending its meal.
Volume IX: Benefits of Kindness - Ogun reaches the Southern Barrens and seeks out his prey.
Volume X: The Hunter's Charge - Ogun faces a great beast to fulfill his misson.
Volume XI: The Pride of the Thunderhorn - Ogun returns to his homeland with the help of some new friends.

Here are some of the characters that you'll meet in this series:
Ogun Thunderhorn - The Fledgling Chieftain of the Thunderhorn Tribe.
Kazragore - An old Shaman of the Frostwolf Clan, and a soldier in the service of the Horde.
Grimble Fizzbolt - The Goblin purveyor of a small trading post in the Barrens.
Tazango - A troll trader and merchant.

Excerpt:
Upon bounding over a small hillock, Ogun saw the source of the noises he had heard just a few minutes before. In the twilight, it was hard to make them out, but they were clear enough. It was a lion crouched over a carcass, fending off more than a dozen hyenas from it's kill. The hunter watched as one of the smaller beasts leaped at the lion, only for it to be grabbed by the neck with the greater beast's fearsome sabered teeth.

He heard the crunch of bone and saw the hyena go limp. This lion was a beast worthy of the hunter's protection. Quietly, but swiftly, he unloaded his wolf, who had also caught sight of the fray. Ogun looked his mount in the eye, and instantly the wolf seemed to know what Ogun wished it to do. It crouched low, ready to spring into action. Ogun grabbed his shot pouch and sat it next to where he had laid down. He readied and took aim at one of the hyenas in the back of the pack and fired. It fell. Just then a faction of the snarling, bloated beasts broke off from the lion and rushed toward the hunter. The wolf dashed to meet them, snarling and barking.

The series is now complete! Enjoy, and let me know what you think! Have a read of the next series, The Howl of the Frostwolf!

I am too tired and it's too late for me read them, but I appreciate your post design.

Thanks, I always like to make things look organized. At least in my writing.
