Darkness and ethereal light danced across his vision in waves that seemed to entrance his senses despite the the unsettling nature of them. A gentle voice belaying the power it originated from, whispered into his now pointed and, frankly, oversized ears like the memory of music. Phantasmal and effervescent. Despite the pleasantness of this dreamlike memory, it was the fetid smell of unwashed flesh and damp heat of proximity that nudged Duram from muddled sleep to reluctant consciousness.  and not a moment too soon as the rough and discordant voice of the Head Warrior crashed through the Broodpit like a pack of angry mandrills.

As he gazed about the pit, taking notice of the more eager individuals chomping at the bit to prove themselves, he couldn't help the giggle that escaped at the irony of his current situation. 

[color=thistle][i]'My life in my world ended in an enclosure just for my new one to start in another. Here I was told gods don't have a sense of humour'[/i][/color] He thought with a sardonic grin.

Duram gathered his meager belongings as he went over any relevant information he could recall about this quest. His mind immediately latched onto the Leppa fruit he had seen some of the older orcs enjoy, he didn't much care for the thought of hunting something for glory. Intent of just gathering food and only dealing with a hostile animal if necessary. Though the thought of the blue orb shaped fruit reminded him of the guard that had been ambushed some time back. That was roughly the same time others were being warned of Tatzleworms in the trees.

It was a creature that he was somewhat familiar with considering some of his high school friends had been obsessed with cryptids and SCP's. It was said to have the head and front limbs of a cat and the body of a snake. An interesting creature to say the least and the small animal lover couldn't help but be fascinated as his mind wandered. Did its behaviour reflect that of other felines or was it more reptilian? Was it scaly or furry? Nocturnal or diurnal? It was obviously an ambush predator, did it camouflage like reptiles or was it due to coloration and pattern? What was -  

His mental questioning of the specifics of the amalgam creature were cut short as he reached the outskirts of the camp on his way to a nearby copse of trees. His plans of climbing and seeking a better vantage point halted for the moments as a familiar sound registered in his mind. It was coming from a mo-hawked runt with uneven tusks. Not that Duram could talk considering he still had his milk tusks, minuscule as they were. Agar if he remembered correctly, was humming a tune that realistically had no place in this new land. Shocked and more than a bit apprehensive of the possibility, Duram decided to do the same thing he always did when this song played on the zoo's P.A system. He quietly sung along with a small smile.
