"Oh, so if I'll send you more orcs, you promise to kill them? Word of a paladin?" Asked Marus. Mira should have be careful, she knew that one must no give promises to a demon. But she wasn't thinking straight " Yes, demon, I swear, I'll rip a throat of any damned orc that you will send here!
That was exactly what Marus needed, Mira got her sword when it appeared bellow her feet. She picked it up, assumed a battle stance and rang in the bell. Door opened, but no orc warriors rushed in the room. Instead Marus sent two orclings, kids, 9year old sons of the cave orc. When they saw their father lying on the floor they rushed to him, and when ids discovered that their father is dead wail of despair filled Mira's room
Paladin was shocked, she never expected anything like this. She never knew that orcs love their relatives no less then humans. She killed their father and she enjoyed it. And now she gave her word to kill any orc that Marus will send... She couldn't kill unarmed kids, but she couldn't break her word either. Mira cried, Mira hestiated, first time in her life she didn't know what she should do.
" Hey, why are you waiting? " laughed Marus " You said that all orcish animals should die. Besides they will grow up and, quite likely, will rape some poor girl. Don't you want to defend her, my little broken paladin. "
