Chapter 8

Because Odrirg has had his first dream taken from him by the whims of chance
by the ruining of his knees, he has had to cast about himself in an attempt
to find a reason to live.

It took him a while, but through the influence of that unnamed Priest, he
finally came to understand that it is not sufficient to have such petty goals
as can be achieved in a few years time, such as following in your Fathers
profession. Even if that is achieved, what next? He realized that all of
his life, he held following in his Fathers footsteps as a goal, when it is
more rightly described as a possible PATH that could be taken towards a Goal.

With his inbred distaste for disorder of any kind, and the bone-deep, rabid
hatred that he has towards any sort of injustice, it did not take Odrirg long
to realize what his Goal actually was.

He still wishes to live a life that will make his Father proud, but he knew
that with the closing of his path into the dwarven military, as well as his
awakening to the understanding of a wider purpose to his life, his new path
would necessitate him going out into the wider world. First to search out
that strange Lord as the nameless Priest urged him to do.
