or sexual desire. It's something that gives you a desire to be with another in many other ways, wanting to share everything you do, but then it can also mean other things too. I am not sure I am doing a good job of explaining.”
    Keera lay there quietly thinking about what he had just said, it wasn't much but for her, it was different to what she knew.
    “I've only known physical attraction thinking that's all that's needed, I haven't felt more than that before, is it something I can learn?” He nodded,
    “Of course it is, you are young and still changing, it will come with some work.”
    Keera looked on in quiet contemplation, so many thoughts were rolling around in her head.
    “I realized something tonight, I was walking around thinking so much and it struck me, I feel so empty inside, all my life I haven't gotten anywhere, I really don't know what I want.” He smiled, that was normal for any young person,
    “A lot of people feel that way, we can spend so many years of our life finding our place in the world, but it will come. As you learn and discover, you will get to understand what you need.” She looked at him carefully now, his words meant a lot to her.
    “You sure do know a lot huh? I think I could learn a lot from you. Us meeting wasn't just chance was it?”
    “I don't think that there is any such thing as chance in the world, I think all things happen and play out with some higher purpose.” Keera looked on in slight wonder,
    “Are you speaking of the gods?”
    “Heck, maybe so, but I am not going to say I am any sort of expert, let's just say I have been around long enough to see that things do seem to follow a pattern.”
    Keera's demeanor brightened and she took solace in his words, it made her feel better about things including her life. This was something she hadn't experienced before and it was in some ways a little exciting. Yes, meeting this man had opened her eyes to something new, what that was she wasn't sure but it gave her a sense of purpose to be with this group. She got up and walked over to the chair nearby sitting herself down,
    “Thanks Wolf, you given me a lot of food for thought, mind if I spend the night right here?”
    “You don't want to get a bed from the tavern owner?” She shook her head,
    “No, I'm not going to sleep, too much on my mind. Don't mind me, I am fine in this chair.” Wollfen wasn't going to argue, he was tired,
    “Very well, if you need a blanket I think there is a spare in the chest at the end of the bed.”
    Wollfen then rolled over pulling his blanket up and promptly fell asleep.
    The next day found Wollfen sitting in an office of a low level official by the name of Oberton discussing the border situation in regards to orcs, there were no surprises here,
    “Over the past year we have seen increased activity by orcs attacking caravans traveling the eastern most roads and also attacking the more isolated farms. I can't say we have seen any organized effort by any orc groups. That attack to the far north on the Nightclans a year ago appears to be an aberration.”
    Wollfen mulled the news, it was true all along the eastern borders. While there was increased incursions by small numbers of orcs there was nothing like what had happened up north. Was it in fact just a local reaction by orcs in the north to the presence of the Nightclans? He didn't think so, the clans had been riding those wilds for hundreds of years.
    “Well, if you could give me a written report attesting to those facts it would be most appreciated, I will return all such communications to Lord Cazzara in Gevalia.” The official thought that to be odd,
    “Why Lord Cazzara? His influence certainly doesn't carry this far south. Heck, not even Kassandrea bothers sending anyone here.” Wollfen understood the mans confusion,
    “Yes under normal circumstances the administration wouldn't bother with having come here but since Lord Cazzara was charged with obtaining a complete picture of the orc
