Chapter 203: Chapter 203 203: Awakening Orcs

Michael showed the Orc Chieftains that their tribesmen were already starting to accept a sense of unity between the two tribes. They enjoyed baseball as one group and were united by their desire for chocolate. He even showed them how Orcupine Orcs and Orcanine Orcs worked together to improve the cultivation and strength of Rebornians through their unique resonance. This particular glimpse into what the two tribes could accomplish was what all the Chieftains needed to finally realize the errors in their ways. "I thought our resonance was gone because we lost the relic," the Orcanine Chieftain said, ruffling his mane in worry. "But it turned out it was only due to the rivalry between us?" "The ancestors were right. Orcs were stronger together." Michael let the two Chieftains ponder over it through the night. He watched as the two Chieftains returned to the forest and back to their village. The next day, the two tribes arrived at the gates of Neo Orcus. It wasn't just the Chieftains, it was the whole entire tribe. "The Orcanine Tribe is at your disposal." "And so do the Orcupine Tribe." The rest of the Orcs rallied behind the two Chieftains by slapping their knees and strumming their quills in synchronicity. "I have told everyone of our plans to serve under your banner. As one. It took no convincing at all to have the rest of the tribe join me in my decision," the Orcanine Chieftain said. "We told them of our tribe's the history of our rivalry and admitted…that it is nothing but hubris and pride. I confessed that I led the tribe into the wrong path for too long. It is therefore my responsibility to right that wrong. I step down as the Chieftain of the Orcanine tribe and relinquish it to you, human, who is the chosen of the Earth Goddess." The Orcupine Chieftain stepped up right after the Orcanine Chief and kneeled to Michael. "I give way for your guidance as well." The rest of the Orcs looked up at Michael with expectation in their gazes. Their eyes reflected the image of Michael standing with the Dragonborns and the rest of Neo Orcus standing behind him. They, too, longed to be part of his community. "Well, I guess we should start the festival to commemorate this event, right?" Sheina began clapping, followed by the rest of the Dragonborns and the locals of Neo Orcus. It was a celebration. Today was the day that the Orcs officially became citizens of the Nation of Reborn. The integration of the Orcs was much easier than Michael thought. He thought it would be hard to convince the Orcs to suddenly start working together after being rivals for so long, but seeing for themselves how Orcanines and Orcupines could play baseball together or share a beer was enough to dispel their previous thoughts. Of course, as citizens, he had to awaken their talents first and foremost. He first started with the former Orcanine Cheiftain.
