Shaping

From Chief's chamber the berserkers dragged Soc'tah to the back of the big altar. They throwed her to a small cage and locked it up. The witch doctor who came with them looked down to shaking Soc'tah self-satisfied "We makin' ye to cut da heads, no matter what ye wantin'. The he left.

Soc'tah was locked up to the cage for days. Only times when she got out was when the berserks came to beat and torture her. Even her parents and sisters were sent to Soc'tah to turn her head around. Under the eyes of her mother she cracked to cry first time after the witch doctor took her away, but she still declined to take the job.

After all it took three weeks to break Soc'tah down. Her body was aching from hits and cuts, she had at least broken ribs and fingers and she hasn't got any proper food for a long time. Sometime berserkers even kept her up for days. When the witch doctor came to her on the morning of 23rd day to Soc'tah and let the berserks rip her out of the cage to her feet she only said one sentence. "Me takin' da job". Her eyes were empty and skin under the dried blood and bruses looked pale. Her lips were dry and she tried to hold the tired shakes of her body.
Again she walked after the witch doctor, this time inside the temple.

Soc'tah got bathed and she was dressed to the heavy armor of Headcutter. She got a hood that covered and shaded her face. Heavy two-handed axe was handed to her and she looked it with distant eyes.
When the sun was setting on the same day, Soc'tah killed her first troll at top of the temple where she was caged herself just few hour backs.
