"I've been refering to them as half-humans or half-orcs. Both phrases are exchangeable. At some point most of the orc will be bred out of them, then I don't know what. Probably just humans. Other races will probably say 'Human of Mordor' or some such nonsense, when really the institute that was Mordor has been abolished. As you know nobody knows the new dark kingdom's name or mine for that matter. A subject of surprise and to loosen their planning," Isolde told him, just to re-enforce her point.
She smirked at all the carnage around them. "Nothing like the stench of battle in the mid-afternoon." Isolde spied two scags just lazing about whom she quickly ordered to clean up that elf flesh. They did so quickly, huffing and puffing.
Any other warlord would have been self-conscious strolling about without their armor on. Not Isolde. She could actually fight with better art to her skill without all that. She sighed, anticipating the battle at Minas Tirith after they had fittingingly colonized Osgiliath. Also her mind wandered to how it went in the Shire.
"As for yourself Marduk will you be staying on or flying off to tell the world what I've just imparted on you?" she asked conversationally, a casual tone to her voice but a slightly dangerous look her grey eyes. It wasn't that she would force him to stay with her army, but if any 'surprises' came up in the future, she would know who alerted the enemy. Let's face it, a half-dragon would not be difficult to find.

“Hmmm… would my being here alter any of your plans or inconvenience you in any way, but if it does not than I’ll stay on as. Your air support as a scout or breath fire upon those you attack.” Marduk stares at her unblinkedly with his yellow eyes resembling gold, His tail moved as always slow and careful. “If I may have some food or should I just improvise my means of food?”

"No of course not. This regiment's rather small by Mordor's standards. In the old days we could turn out at least 300,000 for a conquering campaign. But anyway as for the food situation there should be something unless those greedy bastards have monopolized the entire storage. The granary is where it's kept. You probably know this place better than I do, but it's a short walk down by the Anduin, run by it of course," Isolde told him. As they walked along she asked, "How long have you been here anyway?"

“I have been here for 3 days and was planing on going to a place that could make the finest armor to enhance my own scale with protection. But I’d most likely have to steal or improvise from the dead of these mortals, for my cover in their robes or battle worn armors.” Marduk looked at her knowing that he hides his face more than her troops need when they move into a city. “I could pass as a human monk if I wore a brown robe with the hood over my head, but little use that is if there are dragon slayers.” Marduk lets out a small puff of smoke with showing some rage. “Humans hunt dragons for our scale and tooth to make better dragon armor and weapon/shields.”

"Human nature. From my experience it's not because dragon hide is any better than that stuff the elves make that is supposed to be so fanciful. They kill dragons because they're more powerful than they are and therefore frighten them," Isolde said, a rather bitter edge to her voice as they veered their path towards the granary.

Marduk looked at her slightly saying. “ Dragon slayers are killed more times than dragons, but it takes about 7 or more dragon slayers to take on a dragon. But with me only few of them heard stories about me being (human like) to blend in partly. So that’s why I stay away from gondor and any cites that’s close to size as it. For most likely theres a few dragon slayers in them, I’m telling you this because they represent my weakness but the average slayer I can kill easily but I only fear one slayer. And he’ll remember me for I burned his left arm armor to his flesh.” Marduk soon quiets as they near the granary door.

"I figured as much," Isolde murmured as she pushed the granary door open. The obiance was one of hurry and work. It was reported to Isolde that some half-witted private had stumbled across some fields when he lost his way to the river. Swords still bloody from the battle were now being used to cleave wheat instead of heads. Though it was hard to discern, the females of the species were baking the plant into an edible substance they swore would keep for months. Otherwise there were sparing collections of various things like apples, cheese and water. Isolde had a plate made up for Marduk and they sat at a table that had hadn't been burned in the scrabble. She had nothing herself, being paranoid about being poisoned; a common idiosyncrasy of people in power.
Continuing the strand of conversation, Isolde mentioned, "Most of the pure dragons have died out or can't be found. I suppose this makes the slayers doubly hostile. Stay away from the region of Esgaroth and Laketown by all means."

“Most of the blood clans are at one place now, it’s the most defended mountain we dragons know of. Since we had used it in the past, but its probably forgotten by those humans since none can make the trip. They once used it as well now days I think they live at the base of the mountain guarding our shared home. But I’m just rambling on, you need to eat something for you would die of starving.” Marduk stared at her showing an apple to her so she may take a bite.

"No no, it's very interesting," Isolde said quickly, and of course it was. Politely she refused the apple, telling him she'd eat later. "If you can, tell me where this mountain could be found." She smiled at him pleasantly or at least her best impression of it.

“I have a question for you, even though you wish to know the mountains location you would not still tell me your name. For I wouldn’t breath a letter of it if you told me. Because there is a human made passage into the mountain but… I will only tell you if you tell me your name.” A few workers inside under her command slightly looked.

Isolde shot a warning glare at one of the workers who quickly rejoined the work. "My name....if truly the directions you give are correct, is Isolde," she conceded in a quiet voice, as if she had said nothing.

“That is a good name for I’ll not tell a soul, and this is the location…” Marduk pulls out an old map of the ice region with a mountain highlighted in red and a tunnel near its base. “Let what do you think for this map is very old but if compared with a up to date map of this area you’d have the location, but there would be one problem for most of us don’t speck this tongue.” His yellow eyes stared at her as he ate the apple.

((Sorry I haven't been on for a long while.))
Isolde scanned the map carefully, tracing the way with her finger. Bits and pieces she could deduce; certain syllables and grammar taken from the Black and Common Tongue. But beyond that she was stumped. "Hmm...what language is this?" she inquired, "Elvish of some sort perhaps, or the dragon's own?"

“Yes it is our language but most being can never figure it out unless they had shared a cave with one. Its in the northern east region because the only humans that live there are barbarians and they know of our language. But we call this mountain “ice spire” for it’s the only one that seems like a tower. On the inside but the outside it shows as a blanket of ice and snow making it impassable. If you try to climb but if in the years of my birth. I would hope that the passage has not fallen apart.” He looks at her again smells her hair but tries to hide it.

"Do you think they would be willing to aid this cause? If they were coerced properly..." Isolde asked. Her mind was rampant with vain pictures of the devastation a pack of dragons could cause on, say Minas Tirith or Rohan. Obliterating what was left of the Elvish kingdoms...the other lands of men like Laketown to avenge their fallen Smaug. Of course if that was any motivation for them, they would have done it by now.
