The Last Yule in Halabor  by Soledad 2 Review(s)

Well, I am finally getting a chance to come back to these.

A very interesting story--I can easily see how an orc bite could cause such an infection. And I like the backstory very much, very plausible.

Still, life was good to him. He had a home, a family, he could still protect his people, in spite of having only one arm, and the townsfolk respected him and his fellow Wardens.

If only his missing arm would cease causing him any more pain. But again, that was a small price for all that he had gained.


A bit of irony and a twist here, as I realized that what seemed bitterness at the beginning of the story is actually grateful recollection. Well done!

I like Belegorn! A brave man - and at least his wife survived.

Good plan to bring in experienced fighters - and another good plan to get them to marry young widows.
