"Right you, bed time." Nil's put Falk in the comfortable bed, he made for him. Pulling the blanket Mrs Kurt had sewn for them.
"Nil's, tell me the story, about the knight who faced the Orcs again."
"Aye" Nil's, sensing he was all out of tears for one day agreed.
"That was te, village, not three day march from ere. It were having these bad problems. Very bad problems. Orcs as big as the tree's ya saw
in the woods today. They had been, stealin cow and pig. They been eating folk as well. "
Nil's watched the mesmerised boy, as he continued.
"So, the village, they sent a lad to Hamborgen, they did. And he say, bloody orcs been eating all our cows and pig!"
The boy laughed at Nil's gruff expression.
"Well then, Prince Eugene, he say, we gonna send some of our soldatens to see off the Orcs for you."
"And so they sent, a great army. Aye it were great ti't was. It number five hundred men and dwarfs. And they march for three day, until they get to
the bloody village."
"Well, the village, it were burning ti't were. And all the folk were screaming. And, huge orcs were riding, great big smelly, hairy pig."
The boy laughed again, at Nil's, as he made his digit fingers into some tusks.
"So, what were we gonna do like? because they were about to eat some women and children, hiding in there house.
Well, one of the knights. He broke the rules he did. And he ran into the battle on his own. He were, right hero. And he fight like a maniac.
He had this great big hammer, and he swung it, bloody, left an right, up and down." Nil's animated the scene by swinging an imagery hammer.
"And then one of the dwarfs, he say, look out mate, because he were great friends, with the knight. He knew his grand da too ya see. And the dwarf say,
wait for me like. But the bloody, knight, he didn't care, he did." Nil's watched as the boy fell asleep, as he always did around this point.
He continued the story, as if practising for the time, when he would have to tell the boy.
"And then, the dirty orcs, had a great flying snake, and it grab the knight from his horse. Oh his mate the dwarf, had to watch, his oath to tha knights
father be broken. The bloody snake thing tore out his back it did. Well the dwarf, he was so fookin angry, he took his hammer and smash that fookin
coot's ed in, he did" spittle flew from Nil's mouth in rage.
"An tha coon't riding it. The dwarf, he bash his fooking hammer to hard against its head, he brake it's andle he did."
"Then the dwarf, he walk ova to the dyin knight, an he take his hand he did, he look into his eyes he did. And he say's to the knight, that was dead
selfish of you, you dick head, you got a wee bairn. And the knight he look back at him, and he says, I'm sorry Nil's, I can't stand to go on, please take care of my son."
"Well the dwarf, bein a soft coont that he is, took his boy, and raise him he did. Wasted a fortune in buyin bread for bloody ducks he did.
You see, the boy, his ma, had died of consumption, she had. So the boy had no one else. Except the dwarf."
Nil's said, as he looked over the sleeping boy.
