Summary
A prequel to my story "What the Ocean Kept", focused around Zul'Jaro and how he inevitably ends up on the island with Thalara.
This is the story of Zul’Jaro, a troll whose life is haunted by violence, loneliness, and the ghosts of his past. Raised on the fringes of his village with his sickly brother D’voro and their cruel, drunken father, Zul’Jaro grew up learning that strength was survival.
Years later, he survives as a fighter in Booty Bay, making money through bloodsport and odd jobs with his goblin partner, Krizwick. But beneath his hardened exterior, Zul’Jaro wrestles with an emptiness he cannot fill—through coin, through women, or even through victory. Memories of his brother’s kindness clash with the lessons of cruelty his father branded into him, leaving him caught between the man he fears becoming and the man he wishes he could be.

Summary
Thorg is a jaded, world weary orc who lives in Booty Bay running a bar called the Run a Rig with a motley crew of employees from both factions. He wants to enjoy life after experiencing unspeakable horrors during war. One of his favorite ways of doing that is by taking his pleasure with women, especially those from the Alliance, who express curiosity about big, fierce orcs.
Kira is a sheltered human whose apprenticeship in the healing arts lands her a post in Booty Bay. The atmosphere in the city is exciting and a sense of adventure and freedom encourage her to explore an unexpected infatuation with "the enemy."
It seems straightforward: a one-night stand without any attachments. Neither Thorg nor Kira are looking for a serious relationship. They are both quite sure and clear about this.
But affairs of the heart are rarely simple...Bookmarked by tandalyn (kaelden)
