The feeling of joy is great in the food tent, many men and women gathered to eat after a day of working; in the fields outside or blacksmithing in the town. Wooden mugs emptying out and plates going bare as the evening draws on, Pren and his four friends; Gangen, Deilen, Gwraidd and Rhisgl. All five sitting at a table feasting and drinking, all talking apart from Pren.. thoughts flowing through his head of the company he spent the last few months with..
Hammer-man came first to his mind.. a strong man, who often spoke large and complicated words to most though to the dunlending he spoke in a more simple manner. Many good brawls had been with him, strong punches given and taken as none would give up until the other had been knocked out cold. He seemed to have a natural way of leadership, and Pren listened to him many times.. though often he would stop him from finishing a kill or making him not fight his enemies..
Red-hair came second. The woman who took him to the lands in the first place.. after capturing her as a slave and dragging her halfway to Dunland, after her saving his life before a promise was made. She always would speak to Pren when others didn't. She had a good heart.. though in his mind, not the best at taking hits.
Sparrow-lady also came to his mind. The woman who enjoyed watching him fight and also showed to him the mixture of stew and beer in the same mug. He gave her a marking of a sparrow on her shoulder, she could endure the pain.. though she cannot keep promises that well.
The thought of why he is back in the lands.. and his time lost wandering about those woods came back into mind and his fist tightened ever so slightly.. grumbles soon following out as he looks down into his mug..
The two always hooded men then came into mind.. Green-Man and Goat. Those two he ran after and followed for many days, nearly dropping down dead at some points from all of it.. though once he came to the place they were supposedly at they were gone with a set of tracks left behind. Eventually he followed them into some woods, and there he had no clue where he was.. doing what he had to do to live in the strange lands, killing a few men to get supplies and chasing boars down with javelins.. though soon word caught and he was driven out.. all because of those two hooded men, leading him on a chase before leaving him lost in the woods.
They will all get what they deserve however.. even those that have not wronged him.. they say they are a family living with each other.. soon enough we will find out if they are like a family dying with each other. The Culling Pit is empty, and entertainment is needed.
