We start with Namato laying down in a bed. He wakes up with bandages all over his body. He looks around and see's a window. Its daytime and the sun is shining brightly through it. He gets up and looks outside the window. He see's Khatar training with his daggers against a dwarf, in a field behind the house. Khatar notices Namato through the window and immediately stops the training and starts walking inside. Namato sits down on the bed waiting for him. When he finally enters the room, before anyone can say anything, Khatar hugs Namato.

  "I'm so glad you are finally awake" Khatar said breathing heavily from the training. The hug did hurt Namato a little bit so he flinched. Khatar backed up a second when he realized he accidentally hurt him.

  "Sorry about that, it's just been awhile" said Khatar.

  "It's alright, how long have I been out?"

  "About a month, honestly didn't know if you were going to wake up or not, but I stayed close"

  "It's been that long, what has happened since then?"

  "First let me show you around the place" Khatar says as he takes Namato around the house. When they go outside Namato meets a dwarf. When he does his head starts hurting again and a quick flash of the orc comes to his mind.

  "This is Vodden, he was a good friend when I went on that secret mission a while back" Khatar said as the stench of alcohol filled the air around them. It was coming from Vodden.

  "Nice to meet you, do you like drinking?" Vodden said while barely being able to stand.

  "I like it from time to time" Namato said.

  "Good cause we are celebrating tonight, since you finally woke up"

  "You have been drinking every night we have been here"

  "Well there is always something to celebrate" Vodden said and then let out a thunderous burp. Vodden started walking inside and Khatar told Namato to follow him. They walk on a path to a gazebo. Around it is a bunch of beautiful flowers. They both take seats on the chairs inside the gazebo.

  "Have you figured out anything on that orc?" Namato asks Khatar.

  "I know he comes from a town called Chiddan, it is located in the west, but the strange thing is that no one in that town is alive anymore, it was also destroyed from some kind of fight"

  "How did you figure this out?"

  "I made my way to Evertide last week and just came back yesterday, they have spies almost everywhere, they also told me the one really behind the attack, it is one of Merlin's student, her name is Azril"

  "How is that even possible he has been dead for over two hundred years?"

  "I have no idea, but they told me she is very strong and clearly she has strong allies"

  "What happened with the goblin family, are they okay?" Namato asks.

  "Yes they are fine, they will be here soon to eat dinner with us and to give us a farewell, also the oldest son wants to talk to you"

  "Good I am glad they are okay, but what happened to Bulltaureau"

  "Unfortunately the orc and Azril took many lives, the king and what was left of the people took shelter in the cellar, somehow in the confusion of the battle the prince was taken and his whereabouts are unknown along with Azril and that orc"

  "What are they after?"

  "We are going to find out, but first we need to get stronger, Vodden will also be accompanying us, he was very eager to join"

  "Are you sure about bringing that drunken fool with us? I mean he could barely stand up straight"

  "Back in the day he was stronger then even me, unfortunately he lost his family not too long ago to a orc that went berserk at his hometown, he didn't learn what had happened till he came back after fighting in the war with the kingdom of Palaerus, that's why he drinks, so he can forget about the pain of losing them, but I still trust him with my life"

  "Damn, I feel sorry for him"

  "We will be heading out from here tomorrow, but lets go back the family should be here by now" They both make their way back to the house. The family is waiting outside and when the kids see them, they run towards them.

  "Namato you are finally awake" All 3 of the kids said yelling while hugging him.

  "Thank you for saving us, I'm glad you are fine" The mother of the goblins said.

  "Namato, Thank you for saving us all, My name is Raz, I'm the oldest one and I promise that someday I'll be strong like you so I can save my family next time"

  "I think I should be thanking you brave kids for coming back and saving us"

  "Food should be ready, lets go eat" They all head inside and after a long night of drinking and laughing they all fall asleep. The next morning the family waves goodbye to Namato, Khatar, and Vodden as they set out to their next destination.

  In a forest that is in between their next destination, Evelyn the blood witch is waiting for them.
