Chapter 3

... Only reflexes saved him this time. He even found strength to
chuckle at himself "Well trained reflexes... well trained. I'm getting
used to it!". He was in a misty forest he never seen before. Pondering,
he walked around for a while until he stumbled upon a hidden hut. With
a doubt he entered in and found an old wizard sitting behind the table.
"Come in, duergar, don't fear me. I hadn't anyone to talk with for a
long time and I enjoy your company", the wizard said. Still suspicious,
Gzurweeg approached the wizard and felt as a warming calm feeling
relaxed him. The wizard smiled and asked "I see a sign of troubles on
your face, Gzurweeg. Come, share it with me.". Gzurweeg whimpered "THEY
ALL ARE OUT TO GET ME!". The wizard hugged Gzurweed and with a sedative
voice said "I know what can help you, friend". He opened an old chest
sitting behind the table and pulled out several strange metallic objects.
"Take a look here, these things contain powerful magic within. Don't
hesitate to use them when you are in trouble", he said. They talked for
several more hours and when time to part has come the wizard opened
a portal for Gzurweeg straight to the Imperial Palace.

With a relief feeling Gzurweeg stepped out of the portal just to find
that another army of invaders approached the gates. "Gzurweeg! You
can't hide from us! Get him!", many yells flowed together resonating
by the Palace walls. But something has changed this time. And it was
the feeling of confidence coming from the wands the wizard gave to
Gzurweeg. The fierce short battle was coming to the end. A river of
blood streamed near the Palace gates, elven hair, storm giants' body
parts, dropped weapons and mighty Gzurweeg standing in the center of
the battlefield raising his hand signaling a victory!

... When Gzurweeg woke up, a relief smile didn't leave his face for
a long time. He wished this dream would continue. Disgusting at the
beginning it was so sweet at the end! And now he had learned the
greatest secret of what makes a man a MAN. He should struggle to find
more of those metallic objects from his dream!
