Recklessone

((ok this is going to be my real first story post, the other is just an idea of what might be happening so i guess it could be considered non-fiction))
Its was a cold night on the plains of Mulgore as Reckless one and his father Proud blade moved along with other members of the rage totem tribe in search of a reported group of humans.
"Father" Said the young Tauren Recklessone "Why must I be here to help our tribesmen, surely mother would like someone to help her with something. And I don't see what point I will be here."
Looking down at his misguided son Proudblade responded kneeling down for a moment "Son, you have come with us on the expedtion to cleanse your homeland of a human scorge threating our land, there is no greater honor then to prtect ones homeland."
Looking up at his father great wisdom he nodded "Yes father."
And with that small bit of light shed on the young Tauren they continued on there search for the humans.
A few hours later as they progressed further into the grass lands of mulgore, the night air was quite and calm, with the only sound coming from the tauren hunters, trackers and warriors. When out of the calm air a Hail of flaming arrows poured onto the unsuspecting Tauren. Seeing his son in danager Proudblade blocked he arrows bound for Recklessone with his great mass. the battle had begun!
Not knowing the enemies number the hunters quickly set to pace loading there bows to create a cover as the might warriors charged into the hidden vale of enemy. Recklessone having this be his first sight of a real fight was shocked at the death that surronded him.
"SON! Do not forget we must drive them from our land!" Yelled a voice from across the battle field which snapped Recklessone back to action.
Picking up a small totem off a fallen warrior the small Tauren rushed headlong into a group of humans forming behind the expediton. Using great fury he had never before known he crushed all that stood in his path. As he turned to yell back to his father of what he had accomplished he turned to see the whole party of defenders being slaughtered!
Horror filled Recklessones every pore as a small group of humans attack him, Beating him nearly to death, leaving the wounded body that was left for the wolves.
And so battered and bruised he looked into the sky and blanked out.
Waking it what seemed to be a dream he turned to be faced by a creature of legend, Uchea'dun, the great old kodo. A beast only spoken of as a ghost, for truely its hide was as white as the snows of the winter, As Recklessone gazed upon the kodo light flashed giving glimpse of the battle.
with a final flash the young Tauren awoke to see is mother looming over him. Shooting up to meet her with a hug that could have bound a titan he began to weep telling her of the dream and battle he had witnessed.
After a few days of recovery he was ready to lead a army of Tauren from thunderbluff to the area where the enemies camp was believed to be.
As Recklessone set out with the band of Tauren he waved farewell to his mother.
That night the Tauren travled in silence until the reach the camp of the humans.
"This is where the battle happened a few nights ago" said a Tauren feeling the ground.
"Good." Said Cairne "Then this shall be the perfect spot to avenge the warriors"
And with that the Tauren set about killing the gaurds posted around the camp surronding it completly. And with a word from the chieften the assult went out, the tauren army went charging in.
Now being no stranger to battle Recklessone moved as fast as any of the older Tauren. As the battle raged the great creatures set about entering tents and slaying the people dwelling within, on one such invasion of the home Recklessone entered a tent of drunken humans feasting on the remains of something..
His eyes widened...
No he said to himself, No, no one can be that cruel, what lay on the table infront of the men was the remains of a Tauren,by the looks of it a very large one, the gear of the poor fighter was laid on the ground without a care.
Rage filled Recklessone he dropped the totem he carried steping furter into the tent with a rage that should have burnt it to the ground, noticing the ceature at there gate they reached for their weapons, two were dead before they had a chance to draw their blades. The third backed into a corner horrifed at watching his frineds head ripped from there bodies with one grasp of the Taurens massive hands. As Recklessone stepped closer to the poor human a glimpse of something flashed past his eye.
"I'll get it later" he thought. And with the final step he flattened the human. with a great stomp.
Turning back to the glimmering rem he saw earlier, He paused.
It was his fathers medillion!
Words could not describe the fury and saddness the Tauren now felt. Grabing the amulet he burst from the tent his vision blurred by tears and rage, charging past other of his kind and pushing aside any that got in his way he begun to kill all of the humans with out mercy.
"Show them no mercy!" he thought "No mercy just as they did with my father!"
Seeing the pure rage the tauren was in Cairne said to have the main group stay awat from the people he was killing, anyone who would come to close would probobly die under his hands of fiery hate.
In a few minutes every human in the camp lay slain, but even then Recklessones fury did not subside, he procceded to rip there bodies apart in unending rage.
Yet as the sun rose. He say that no amount of destruction could sooth the fact that his father was dead, but not only dead eaten so that his body could not be burned into ashes and sent onto the wind to merge with the earthmother.
Looking up at the chieften he sobbed "How, how could anyone be so barbaric as to EAT a Tauren?!"
Trying to comfort the poor child Cairne whispered into his ear " I am sorry young one, no one could have guessed the horrors these humans were capabale of."
Sighing, Reckless one set into a deep weep that lasted several hours untill the group had gahtering the remains of all of the fallen Tauren for the earths flame ceramony. Knowing he should tell his mother he travled back to redcloud mesa.
"Mother!" he called into the village
"I'm sorry young one" Said the elder of the mesa "At night while the warriors were away they.."
Cut off seeing Recklessones eyes of sorrow.
"We did the best we could but she.."
As Recklessone entered the tent his heart broke once agian, there on a bed lay his mother...
dead... the arrow that had slian her lay across from her.
"NOOO!!" cried Recklessone "Not her to" He cried as he pounded is might fists into the ground. looking up at the druids who had tried to save her life.
Later that week, he sat clenching the amulet his father once owned, as he watched his mother join the ashes of what remained of his father and all the other warriors.
From that day Recklessone swore oath to slay all humans, no matter what, they had done an injustice that could never be forgiven, taking the life of his father and mother in one fel swoop. The rage he felt still strenghten him today, as a great warrior for the horde, he battles the human scum whenever possible.
"No human will escape my grasp, none shall be able to flee the unending wrath I wield as a weapon now. Know this humans! If you stand in my path I will crush you!" This is the oath he swore upon the day the fire burned.
So be warned humans, don't mess with me!
