  - I'm not very good at speeches, but skipping the greetings and formalities, I have a pn in mind. - I decred firmly.

  I knew that dismissing the ants now would be a bad idea. Sending them away, without a certain destination, would be like sending a disoriented group to their deaths. Leave them here, if they don't cause trouble. That's what I told them mentally. A young ant immediately agreed, and I believe she was the closest to the queen. When she spoke, everyone nodded immediately, as if waiting for her approval.

  - From now on, some of you will form groups and pairs with the ants. Each of you will look after and provide for the needs of those who are more fragile, and don't forget that you will have my support. - I said to everyone.

  Even so, asking the orcs to form a bond with them wouldn't be easy. The truth was that, as much as the ants were now allies, blood was still staining our hands. Orcs and ants had lost many, and that past could not be easily erased.

  - It can be difficult to erase that stain. Both sides have lost something important. As impossible as it is to erase what happened, let's turn it into a lesson for all of us. - I said, trying to give some encouragement.

  Turn the page... It was the best way I could find to sum up what I wanted to say. I knew that, after all, in my world, nations were always fighting conflicts based on things as futile as racial or political issues. Even with a bloody past, some of them still lived together in peace. It was possible. I had faith in that.

  - Monsters aren't so different from each other. Race, species... In the end, the title remains the same. - I continued, with conviction.

  It was a hard truth to swallow, but a truth. In the end, we were all monsters. Orcs, ants, even me. Each with characteristics that set us apart, but deep down we were all in the same fight.

  - We shouldn't rival each other, but unite. Maybe then we can build a better future for those who will inherit everything when our journey comes to an end. - I finished, looking at everyone.

  I wish I had rehearsed or at least pnned more appropriate words, but deep down, what I was saying came from the heart. Even so, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, it was an extremely important request.

  The situation had taken an unexpected turn, and now I was in an even more delicate position than I had imagined. Giving names to orcs and ants seemed like a simple thing, but for them it was perhaps the greatest gesture of recognition they could receive. The fact that I was offering it so casually, without fully understanding what it meant, made me realize that I was dealing with something much deeper than I thought.

  The feeling of slippage, of doing something improper, became more evident as everyone's gaze turned to me. The orcs, who until then had been wary and suspicious, now seemed to be wondering whether this was really what they wanted or whether it was a test of some kind of power I possessed. The ants, for their part, seemed more willing to follow any direction I suggested, but the gesture of naming the orcs was part of something that transcended my immediate intentions.

  The Leader approached with a different posture, more solemn, more attentive to what I would do next. He seemed to ponder the proposal, perhaps even considering what it would mean for him and his people. The simple fact that I offered this gesture, rather than taking control more directly, was a turning point.

  - Will you name us, Satouma-sama? - His voice was lower, but carried a respect I hadn't expected.

  I felt a shiver run down my spine, not from fear, but from the responsibility I now felt. I wasn't just offering names, I was offering an identity. Something they never had, something that perhaps meant more than just words. It was as if I was opening a door to a new phase in their lives, a phase where they wouldn't just be “orcs”, but individuals with stories, with an identity of their own.

  I took a deep breath, trying to relieve the tension. The Leader was waiting, the other orcs and even the ants were attentive, awaiting my next action. This was a delicate decision, and I didn't want to make it hastily. Choosing names for them was not something I took lightly.

  - Yes, I'll name names. But... it won't be done all at once. I'd like to start with you, Leader. You've shown the most understanding and trust so far. I think a name, something that represents your strength, wisdom and the respect you've earned from everyone, would be more than deserved.

  The other orcs began to move slowly, as if absorbing the seriousness of the moment. A few ants also approached, watching carefully, as if curious about what would happen next.

  - Tell me, Leader, what would you like to be called? - I asked, trying not to show the nervousness I felt inside.

  It was curious to think that, somehow, I had the power to change their dynamic in such a way. Perhaps it was a small gesture, but at that moment, for them, it meant a lot. The Leader looked at the other orcs and, for a moment, seemed to weigh up the options.

  - I will give the name Bhorak, to mark our new era, where we are no longer just orcs, but a people who rise with honor and respect.

  Hearing that made my heart race a little. Bhorak... He was strong, imposing, dignified. The name he had chosen had a meaning that went beyond the simple word. He wasn't just introducing himself, he was defining a new phase for himself and his people.

  I nodded, feeling a weight lift from my shoulders.

  - Bhorak. It's a name worthy of your leadership.

  The Leader bowed slightly, a sign of gratitude, and with this gesture, he finally gave himself over to the new path that was being set. This seemed to have a profound meaning for everyone around. I knew that more names would have to come, and each of them would have a story behind them, a story that I would have to understand and respect.

  With that, I started something that seemed simple, but which I knew would have a sting impact. It was the beginning of a new era, not just for them, but for all of us.
