I hadn't forgotten about the Dragon Army that approached Thauk Sul. "This little town doesn't need a war." I say to everyone. "All the people here are either elderly, or middle-aged lumberjacks...It is best to carry the fight into the fields, outside the forest far away from here."

Thinking: I don't feel like fighting. every since I met these people my life has been chaotic. At least there is never a dull moment now. I laugh in my head. This fur rug is so warm, but I got to get up now. I stand and start to gather my belongings. As we prepare ourselves Gruntz re-enters his house.

" You young people. Always getting into fights with each other, when you just going to learn to get along." Gruntz puffs on his pipe and lets out a small sigh. "I'm giving you kids some decent food. You can't fight or travel on a empty stomach. I'd invite you all to dinner, but you appear to be heading out.

Gruntz gives each of us a little carry bag. Filled with breads, cheese, left over stew, and some beef jerky. "good luck to you young folks. Don't get yourselves killed. your adventures may be a nice story to tell to ye' grandkids some day." Gruntz laughs, he loses his breath and sits down. You all better go. It'll be nightfall in a couple hours and that forest is awful in the dark. Bandits and burgulars wait for anyone who strays."

As we exit Gruntz's house I say my farewells and give a last look at Zeneba's grave site.

Thinking: Our group has grown. We were once 3, now there is 5..Will anyone else join our growing force. Our name will surely spread throughout the Dragon Kingdom, as the Human scum. We should give them a nice name to call us by. haha I laugh to myself again. But, I am pretty much the only person over 20 here. So I have a bigger responsiblity as the eldest.

We head for Thauk Sul's forest. There we intend to counter and push back the Dragon Army that is coming. If they don't find us they'll torch Thauk Sul, so we are going to have to face them. We all psyche ourselves up and get ready for a battle.... This will be like a small war.....
