Orc's Gift - Orc Warriors of Protheka, #10

My life is a well of infinite darkness. My home a place of no hope. And yet this is where I'll find the love that makes me whole. A woman can only endure so much before she goes crazy. My home has been burned by invading dark elves. As I fled I was taken by rebel orcs. They decided as a game they would see how long they could starve me before my life ended. In a life where death is mercy, you don't expect to find love.
And yet here I am - rescued by the orc named Brar. He fights for me. Kills for me. Defends me to his last breath. With him I am no longer starved. I am fed. Clothed. Content. But most importantly.I am loved.
