Vera really thought her life couldn't get any worse when her "parents" decided to marry her off, aka sell her. The Lord was a cruel man who hit her within an hour of meeting her, and if his size was any indication she wouldn't last through to many of those. She really thought there could be nothing worse, and no way out except for her own death, but at least her torment would be over. Having accepted her fate, nothing could be more shocking than waking up in the camp of a well-known and feared Orc warrior. As expected of a hulking brute, he offers her no explanation for taking her away, or any good feelings about what he wants from her in the future...in fact he hardly speaks at all! Much to her shock and disbelief, Vera finds that she might be the key to waking an ancient power that once held the world together...or if her Orc kidnapper has his way, tearing it apart completely. If only she could get him to speak, or tell her what he knows of her destiny. The only good thing he does is protect her when shadowy figures start trying to kill her. And keep her warm on cold nights. From a simple housemaid to a kidnapped damsel, to a diplomat and councilor, all the signs are there for who Vera really is, even if she isn't ready to accept it. Maybe once she realizes her own destiny, and how close she is to stepping into it, she can also get her Orc guardian to open up to her...and maybe want her for more than his own selfish motives?
