Maul Things End

By J P Robertson

Maul Things End is the last tournament for the greatest Orca Belator to have competed on the Feudal Plains. Grun has inspired creatures from through the realms for as long as many can remember, but now is the time for Grun to walk into the great unknown. Before he departs, his brethetar will battle to give him the greatest send-off a Maul competition can receive..,.

MAUL is the most significant event of the calendar for any Rogue or Orca!
The fiery contest between the eternally embattled clans serves to both allow control of the mines for the following season, and cull the ever expanding numbers of inhabitants in two realms. The opposing nations found the only fair way to deal with this was by having a tournament of their most glorious champions. The blood-shed was just a bonus...

For as long as can be remembered, every year teams and thousands of their supporters would arrive at the Feudal Mord Plains to witness the carnage.
The tournament of Maul is split into three fast-paced rounds, where opposing teams have compete to keep possession of a Detonator for long enough to explode a bomb. If successful the opposition team will have a few less cheers, as a swathe of supporters in their crowd are vapourised!

You might ask why on Draego’s Underearth would any being go to support this, however the only privilege greater than being left standing at the end of Maul, is to be vapourised before then. There is no shortage of supporters to wear the brand, or spread the ashes of their fellow villagers for that matter.

In an ongoing series of stories readers will discover the stories of Maul's greatest heroes!

I am a Science Fiction writer, releasing my first novel in 2014.Although I am an adult, I am a kid at heart, often reliving my youth vicariously through my children. I love everything about SciFi, from futurist concepts, to high-tech weapons and gadgets, and pure escapism.My writing is aimed at adults, and young people that can handle a bit of violence and foul language. Although neither attributes are foundations of my writing, I do not shy away from using the common colloquialism you would expect to find with the types of characters I develop.If you like futurism, action, espionage, and colorful characters, you'll like what I make.

When it’s time….

As the crowd roared and cheered, chanting his name, beat after beat, Grun felt as though their very essence was flowing through his veins. He could sense the anticipation, feel the hope and desire, willing him on to the last play. But it had not always been this way. His life could have travelled a very different path.

Grun’s mind wandered, to a place long ago, when he was only a youngling. He could smell the air and feel the ground beneath him as he stomped around the vineary. The other fledglings looked at him as he roared around the ring in the courtyard.

Staring at the makeshift dummies being moved from place to place by the other younglings, Grun could see the patterns moving in his head. He knew where they were. And anticipated where they were going. The others thought it was magic, but Grun knew there were only a limited number of options for any one movement, and all creatures turn to habit when pushed, regardless of their circumstance. A 6-foot-tall Orca may have been intimidating to some, but not his Brethetar. He knew them, and they knew him.
