  So you just write down whatever I tell you? I don't understand why, Sai.

  Wait. Are you writing down what I'm saying right now? You intelligent and handsome orc. I ought to compliment you frequently and consider remuneration.

  Fine. Let's just get this done. There's only one way to slaughter a pig.

  We've been training for over a month now. I thought I was strong before from working on the farm, but now I am getting really strong. I am most excited about learning to handle a sword. I've learned this move. Oh, and this one. The sergeant said he learned that attack from a minotaur, but I do not believe him.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  What? You can't write down what I'm doing? That's dumb.

  Grugg died today. About time. He lasted a full day longer than I expected. The herd is stronger when the weak are dinner. And the army grows stronger every day. This is good. Soon we sergeants will have to choose our grunts. I must watch the others to know who to choose.

  You? Ha! You are funny, Sai.

  Our warband has too much in the head and not enough in the arm. Yes, I mean you. But you are useful. You know the dragons like other orcs don't. This keeps Krag and Helga alive. It is not a strength the orcs value, but it is still strength.

  Go to bed. I'll take the first firewatch. And get rid of those dragon parts. They upset Krag.
