Chapter 3

The night was long and loud that time. It was almost as if the great sow
herself was rampaging through the lands but this wasn't just any night, it was
the night of eggs and bacon. Giagrob has grown over the last few years and has
become more physically developed. Always consuming has led him to a grotesque
but sturdy stature among the younger berserkers. Among his favored foods,
other than elven flesh, is bacon. During this dark hour, he'd just finished a
large handful of week old bacon, bartered from his local orcish butcher, when
those great squeals began to be caught by his ears. Although he wasn't
familiar with the ruckus at first, he was as curious as ever to munch on a new
delicacy.

First like a glob of spit as it hits a hot rock, splattered a group of eggs
that streaked across the heavens before impact. He watched in awe, thinking
all the while, what kind of creature spits out eggs like that, but soon it was
a passing thought as he went trekking off after those glorious morsels of
gourmet goodness. The journey wasn't quick and for a long while, wasn't
fruitful but eventually, whether by luck or divine favor, he came across one of
those tasty bites that had him drooling the whole time. As he reached down to
pluck it from the mire, it vanished, and as he stood there in anger and
disbelief, yelling obscenities, he felt a bit better and more insightful.
Although this wasn't the feast he'd about dehydrated himself from drooling
over, it was something that fulfilled his inner desire for strength and power.

One after one, he found new treasures and was imbued with more morsels of
strength. The first one made of coral, then dragon bone, followed by one of
diamond and lastly of platinum. Each, he thought, was likely the solidified
divine power or leftovers from some great Orc or Goblin in the sky, spat down
for him to discover. Even though these magical eggs left their mark on him,
his initial longing for sustenance yet grows. Inside, he feels he'll try just
about anything or work for anyone, if he thinks it'll eventually let him grow
strong and not be bullied anymore.
