orc planet

From leaving the orc tribe to Solante's departure, Iggsas didn't say a word.Payne raised his head and was about to say something, but he was suddenly hugged by the other party.Iglesias's strength is so strong, it seems that he is going to hug him into his flesh and blood——

"Ig?" Somewhat out of breath, Payne's beautiful eyebrows were tangled together, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the orc.

"Yig...be gentle..." Iggas's arms were strong and powerful, encircling him tightly, so tight...that he couldn't breathe!

"..."

The orc's eyes slowly turned red, and the muscles of his jaw twitched because of the tension; his hand gradually moved to his partner's abdomen, and he secretly exerted force, the expression on his face was distorted almost ferocious!

"Igasus——!"

Payne screamed suddenly. He knew what the orcs were going to do—Igasus knew it all, and he wanted to kill their children!

No, no!Don't kill their children!

"Yig—don't!" Penn screamed in horror, beating the orc who was holding him tight.In the wild, his punch hit Iggsas's wound, the orc just gritted his teeth and grunted, his big palm still firmly clasped his partner's abdomen, squeezing it in continuously.

The sharp pain was like ripples, expanding circles from the inside of the body... There seemed to be a fire burning in the abdomen!Payne had the illusion that something was writhing crazily inside his body... It was a child, he felt the child's panic and helplessness!

"Don't... Iguesas—it hurts, my stomach hurts—" The pain seemed to tear him apart!

The voice in his arms gradually weakened, and the orc was startled. He helped his partner up, only to see blood continuously overflowing from the corner of Payne's mouth.

"Damn it!"

Gritting his teeth, Iggas suddenly picked him up horizontally, regardless of the injuries on his body, and tried to flap the broken wings again and again... Sweat dripped from his forehead, and soon soaked Payne's clothes.

"Iglesias... what are you doing?" Barely swallowing the blood surging in his throat, Payne panted, his face so pale that there was no trace of blood.

"Take you to Griffin Valley, you can't delay any longer." Griffin Valley - the birthplace of cubs, is also the cemetery of Griffin.

"You're crazy! Cough, cough... your wings are broken, and you still have injuries—"

"you listen to me."

Iglesias interrupted Payne, his voice sounded very urgent.

"Griffin females will have a hard lump in their lower abdomen after one month of pregnancy. This is because the eggs gradually harden in the body. This process is called qualitative. There is a strange plant in Griffin Valley that can destroy this. Germplasmization, eliminate the hard shell of the animal eggs. But this time is very limited, it must be within one month of the female's successful conception."

"Griffin eggs have too strong adsorption force, and there is no way to use external force to remove them. Now we have to go to Griffin Valley, otherwise once the shell of the egg is completely hardened, you will..." Igelsas did not continue, recalling Thinking of the tragic death of his parents, he closed his eyes in pain.

It’s not that Iggsas is unaware of the consequences of destroying the metamorphosis—once the metamorphosis is broken, it cannot be restored to its original state, and the cubs of the griffin are in a very dangerous state anytime and anywhere; coupled with the loss of nutrients in the eggs, the baby griffins cannot Does not draw energy entirely from the mother.

The Griffin family is born to be king, and the energy required for fetal growth is several times that of ordinary orcs.In this way, the griffin egg that has been destroyed must rely on the powerful blood of the father to support it during the growth process.This is tantamount to fighting with your life——

For seven months, the father must maintain the growing baby griffin with his own blood.Once stopped, both mother and child will die of exhaustion.

"We must leave immediately..." Igalesus looked extremely flustered, and the pain and panic in his voice were unbearable.

Worry and despair overwhelmed him like a tide, and the only thought on his mind at this moment was to rush back to Griffin's Hollow immediately; but damn it, Griffin's Hollow is at least several months away, and his wings-why Unable to fly at this time!

"I'm sorry..." Iguesas lowered his head tremblingly, and slowly pressed his lips on his partner's forehead. "It's my negligence...it's all my fault!" All the muscles in his body were tense, and his body was crumbling.

Iguesas was so annoyed that he regretted hugging Payne impulsively, and he wasn't even ready for anything.Or maybe he should be more cautious and set off for Griffin Valley the day after he took possession of Payne, so as not to fall into the helpless situation he is now.

—He killed Payne!

"Ig! Ig, don't be like this...it's not your fault."

"No...it's all my fault."

"Iglesias!"

"I didn't protect you well..."

The sad voice made Payne's heart tighten instantly.His Iglesias is still so pitiful, always taking all the pain and responsibility on himself.

Gritting his teeth tightly, tears welled up in his eyes.Payne took a deep breath, and held his partner's face to himself.The orc resisted a little, and finally had to turn his face away.

——with his haggard face, unkempt hair, and the beard and blood on his chin, everything made Igales look terrible.

Caressing that painfully tortured face, Payne had the urge to burst into tears.He had known for a long time that Iglesas loved him, but he didn't expect his feelings to be so pure and strong, and his affection so deep!

Payne felt that he was not a qualified partner-the love of Griffon was hard won, soaked in blood and tears.Iguesas understands this exactly, so he takes every step carefully, carefully maintaining this relationship that is far more difficult than imagined.

And him?In addition to teasing and trying to seduce his partner, did he really understand the pain and helplessness in Iguesas' heart?Now that he understands, he can't do anything, but instead becomes the source of his partner's despair and pain... How ironic.

"Iglesias..." Payne softly called her husband's name, looking straight into the amber eyes full of intense emotion.

"Do you hate children?"

Unexpectedly, he would ask such a question, and Iguesas's body froze suddenly.

"I'm sorry..." Iguesas lowered his head tremblingly, and slowly pressed his lips on his partner's forehead. "It's my negligence...it's all my fault!" All the muscles in his body were tense, and his body was crumbling.

Iguesas was so annoyed that he regretted hugging Payne impulsively, and he wasn't even ready for anything.Or maybe he should be more cautious and set off for Griffin Valley the day after he took possession of Payne, so as not to fall into the helpless situation he is now.

—He killed Payne!

"Ig! Ig, don't be like this...it's not your fault."

"No, it's all my fault."

"Iglesias!"

"I didn't protect you well..."

The sad voice made Payne's heart tighten instantly.His Iglesias is still so pitiful, always taking all the pain and responsibility on himself.

Gritting his teeth tightly, tears welled up in his eyes.Payne took a deep breath, and held his partner's face to himself.The orc resisted a little, and finally had to turn his face away.

"Iglesias..." Payne softly called her husband's name, looking straight into the amber eyes full of intense emotion.

"Do you hate children?"

Unexpectedly, he would ask such a question, and Iguesas's body froze suddenly.

Sensing his reaction, Payne smiled instead, put his face on the orc's chest, and spoke softly. "At first, I thought you were very interesting. You obviously have a young and energetic face, but you are a bad-tempered guy, very much like those stubborn old men in the tribe."

"..." Iguesas didn't know how to answer the words. He was so worried now that he didn't understand why Payne was still in the mood to joke.

"Later, after getting along with you, I realized...you are lonely." Lifting his head, Payne looked at the other person gently: "Ig, you didn't realize it, your eyes often reveal a kind of " "Lonely" emotion. You often stare at the newborn chicks for a long time; you never kill pregnant females and cubs waiting to be fed."

"..."

"Also, don't look at you who always look like you want to eat people, but you are actually a very gentle person. Remember you used to yell at me? You always jumped when I was angry, but It never hurt me once." With the corners of his lips raised, Payne showed a warm smile on his face. "I'm very happy...Igasus, I'm really, really happy that you chose me as your partner."

"Payne..."

"We are partners." Slowly and firmly took the orc's big dark hand, Payne held the other's palm tightly. "So there are some things we have to bear together."

"No, I—"

"Shh." Shaking his head lightly, Payne knew what Iglesas was afraid of. "No matter where you go, you must be with me. Are you afraid of death, Igalesus."

"..." Adam's apple rolled slightly.

"Not afraid."

Payne smiled, and this smile suddenly seemed like a glacier thawed and spring flowers bloomed.

Iguesas stared blankly at his partner, as if all his worries and fears disappeared without a trace at this moment!All that remained was the bright and brilliant smile in front of his eyes.

"Let's not resist the arrival of the baby, shall we?" With a long breath, Payne took his partner's stiff hand and moved it to the abdomen, his eyes full of love.

"Feel it? This is you and my child, proof that we love each other."

"Child..." Iguesas didn't know how to react at all, the warmth from his palm was very real.

He thought he should be scared, because the child in his belly was swallowing Payne's life!But... at this moment, he really felt a certain kind of happiness, a certain kind of warmth, and... a certain kind of expectation from the bottom of his heart.

"If God really wants me to sacrifice my life in exchange for this child, I think I'm willing." Holding the orc's stiff body for a moment, Payne gently patted Iglesas's back as if to comfort him. "Don't worry, I won't leave you alone. No matter where I go, I will take you with me, and we will always be together."

do you know?As long as you stay with me forever, and I stay by your side forever, that's enough.Life doesn't care about length, being able to stay with the one you love is happiness.

"Um."

Closing his eyes, tightly hugging the thin but unexpectedly tough body in his arms, Iggas knew he was lucky, because he found Payne and found the other half of his life.

Unexpectedly, warm liquid gushed out of the amber eyes and slid down the corners of the eyes, transparent and warm.

"Igasus, don't fly until the wound on the wing is healed."

"……it is good."

"Don't force yourself."

"Um."

"Then put me down and let me apply medicine to your wound."

Putting the person down obediently, Iggas sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly allowing Payne to apply medicine to his wounds one by one.

"Will it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"Really?" Payne was a little skeptical. Although he was very careful and tried his best to lighten the force, it still hurts when he touched the wound, right?The medicine that Solante gave him was very strange. It was a blue liquid that was thicker than oil, and as soon as it touched it, it quickly closed the wound.

"It really doesn't hurt..."

Igasus shook his head. He himself felt very strange. The wound contaminated by the medicine only felt very hot and warm, but there was no pain at all. On the contrary, it hurt more when the medicine was not applied.

"The mermaid's secret medicine, it seems to be really effective. I won't hurry today, let's rest for a night."

"No!" Iguesas stood up suddenly, and hugged Payne without any explanation. "Without rest, we still have to rush back to Griffin Valley as soon as possible."

Even if it was only a one in ten thousand chance, he would not miss it.

"Alas..." Youyou sighed, Payne knew that he couldn't beat his stubborn partner. "Okay, but remember what you promised me, don't be brave."

"I know."

"Hey ~ Yige." Walking on the road, Payne felt a little bored. "Do you prefer female babies or orc babies?"

"I haven't thought about it."

"Think now?"

Frowning and thinking for a while, Iguesas was really not sure.

"I think... it should be a female baby."

"why?"

"Because you can relax."

"..."

"Ig~"

"Um?"

"I love you so much~"

"Hey, don't move around! We're on our way! It's awkward, ah——!"

The further north you go, the more you can feel the difference in climate.Payne was used to living in the warm and humid south since he was a child, but for a while he was a little at a loss for the gradually becoming cold and dry environment.

"Cough, cough..."

As soon as the weak cough sounded, Iggas, who was walking in front, stopped immediately.

With worried eyes, a pair of warm palms quickly reached out and hugged Payne. "Why are you coughing again? I don't feel well."

"It's nothing, I probably caught a cold last night." Payne said lightly, but the fact is obviously not the case, his face revealed an unnatural blush.

"..." Iguesas simply didn't hurry, and just stared at his partner, obviously not believing what the other said.

"It's really all right, I'm just a little tired, and my chest feels stuffy for a while..." Payne smiled helplessly, and fell on Igalesus.

He covered his mouth, another cough came up, but he suppressed it forcibly... There was a sweet smell of blood in his throat, Payne secretly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his heart sank gradually.His body was weakening rapidly, too fast for him to be prepared.As if overnight, he changed from a vigorous young man to an old man with no strength.

Tired...and sad...

Closing his eyes, Payne quietly nestled into her husband's arms.

Igelsas would force him a lot of food every day, and he would not stop until he watched him swallow all kinds of food and strange herbs.Sometimes he couldn't eat enough to feel uncomfortable, and he would secretly spit out some food when Iggas was not paying attention.

Even though he ate like crazy, the food still seemed to be thrown into a bottomless pit. Instead of gaining weight, his body became thinner day by day.

Payne understands that this is because the child is eagerly drawing energy from his body, which is the way a griffin grows, but the speed of his body's recovery obviously cannot keep up with the speed at which the child is absorbing energy.

"Your body is very hot." Iglesas's voice sounded very depressed, as if he was enduring something. "I won't be rushing today, you should rest well."

After speaking, he suddenly hugged Payne.Except for the wing bone on the right wing that hasn't fully grown yet, the other injuries on his body are almost healed.

Payne nodded, and tiredness quickly surged up. He closed his eyes again, curled up in his partner's arms, and felt the warmth from his partner.

Soon, Iggas found a hidden cave.The cave was clean, but too small and cramped for the griffin.

Regardless of being particular, Iglesas found some hay and leaves and laid a simple bed on the ground, and then carefully laid a layer of animal skins on it; after everything was ready, he carefully carried Payne into the bed. out of the cave.

Payne closed his eyes tightly, and Igelus knew that his partner had fallen asleep.

Feeling that his breath and skin were still hot, Igasus decided to venture to the nearby orc tribe to find some medicine and return.

He slowly kissed his partner's face, then moved some branches to cover the opening of the cave, and after double-checking, he left the cave in a hurry.

The night was cold, and the air was filled with a biting chill.Payne huddled into a small ball unconsciously in his drowsiness, and in the next second, his body was immediately embraced in a warm embrace.

Iguesas hugged his partner as whole as possible. He held Payne's cold hands and feet and rubbed them carefully, just wanting to warm him up quickly.

After rubbing for a while, feeling that the person under him gradually warmed up, and his body became soft again, Iggas let out a long breath.Every time Payne fell asleep like this, he was very scared, he was afraid that the person in his arms would just go away so quietly.

Suddenly, the emaciated body in his arms twitched slightly, and Iguesas' heart tightened immediately.He knew that Payne's body was enduring great pain even in his sleep... His partner was very strong and never complained of pain, but just endured silently and strongly alone... Iguesas didn't know that he was still in pain. How long can he endure this kind of torture? Every time Payne frowned and showed a painful expression, his heart felt like a torn pain. God knows how much he wanted to share this pain for Payne!

Not long after, those beautiful black eyes slowly opened, and there was always a smile in them, as if all the pain and suffering had never existed.

"Ig..." Payne just wanted to get up and give his partner a kiss, when some kind of bitter medicine was fed into his mouth.He stuck out his tongue childishly, frowned his delicate eyebrows, and looked aggrieved. "What did you eat for me? It's so bitter."

"Medicine that can reduce fever."

With a slight tremor in his heart, Payne immediately turned his head and glared at someone.

"You went to a tribe of orcs around here?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from his partner's eyes, Iguesas hesitated for a while, but obediently nodded and admitted.

"Didn't you agree not to disturb the orcs? Are you injured—" Payne eagerly groped Iglesas's body back and forth, and when he touched the back of the orcs, he suddenly stopped and looked directly at his partner With calm eyes, he slowly withdrew his hand... blood, scarlet glaring, stained his palm.

"It's okay, I just got stabbed. Those orc horns are not very sharp." Igalesus took his partner's shoulders, kissed his face lightly, and explained: "I didn't fight them, really. Found After getting what I needed, I left immediately."

"You...Ig, let me say something..." Payne rubbed the sore corners of his eyes, and hurriedly pulled out the secret medicine for wound healing.He understood that Iglesias was doing this for himself.

Griffin Valley is in the far north, and they have to pass through many orc territories along the way.As we all know, griffins are hated by all orcs; especially the injured griffin with a pregnant mate, once found, he and Igasus will be mercilessly expelled by angry orcs immediately!

It was in the last forest——Igasus ventured into the orc's hunting circle for him, and was discovered in the end.

In order to protect himself, and to prevent the wound on the right wing from getting worse again, Iggsas chose to endure—he let those orcs scold and provoke with rude language, and kept silent from beginning to end, protecting himself Out of the forest...

Recalling the scene at that time, Payne couldn't help being wronged and wanted to cry.The Griffin is obviously such an aloof and rebellious creature, and will never bow to anyone, but facing the insult of the orc tribe who is weaker than him, Iggsas chose to remain silent.

"Don't go to the orc tribe again, promise me."

After taking the medicine, Payne lay in his partner's arms, his voice full of anger and depression.No matter how painful or uncomfortable his body is, he can bear it, but he can't see Yige suffering a little bit of grievance for him.

"I'll try my best." Sighing, Iguesas couldn't understand what his partner was thinking.

Just like Payne is willing to give his life for himself; he can give up his life for Payne, not to mention the little self-esteem of being a griffin?

Kissing his partner's hair, Iguesas vowed secretly in his heart - no matter what the outcome, he would never live alone in a world without Payne!

The night was getting darker and darker, and neither of them felt sleepy.

Payne closed his eyes halfway, as if he was resting with his eyes closed, but he was talking to Igelus for a while.

"Egg, what kind of place is Griffin Valley?"

"It's a beautiful valley."

"How beautiful?"

"There must be a lot of flowers blooming, I don't really remember." Igalesus shook his head, the shadow of the beautiful valley in his childhood memory has long been blurred.

"It's a sanctuary for griffin cubs, and a cemetery for... griffins."

"Shelter?"

"Um."

Igelsas recalled the scene when he was alone in Griffin Valley when he was a child: in the empty valley, there was no other person except him, and there were no signs of birds or beasts; The corpse, mourning at night... that is not a good memory.

"No big beast dares to step into Griffin's Valley. In the valley, the cubs are safe, and they can grow up to be able to protect themselves. But as soon as they step out of Griffin's Valley, they have to face the dangerous forest and Ferocious and greedy predators. No one will teach young griffins what to do, they can only find their own way to survive. Griffons... all grow up like this."

Payne didn't speak for a long time. He listened quietly to Iggsas's story about his struggle to survive as a child, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

For the first time, he hesitated, not knowing whether his decision to have a child was right or wrong—if both he and Igelsas left, would their child have to repeat this tragic cycle... In the lonely valley, when he was struggling to survive, would the child resent him?Resenting cruelty for abandoning himself and Iglesias?

Baby, you must be strong.Payne stroked his slightly protruding belly, and whispered to the child in his heart.

That child will be the continuation of his and Igelsas' lives, so he will definitely live strong.
