One time she-Orc want make nice fight with he-Dwarf. Orc know Dwarf more good for nice fight than other citizen. Dwarf strong fighter. Make good father for baby. But Dwarf scare. Him not want make nice fight with Orc.
Orc tell Dwarf him not need scare. Orc not kill Dwarf. Dwarf citizen, and it break law for kill. But Dwarf still scare.
Then Dwarf do strange thing. Dwarf make bet with Orc. Him say him make nice fight with Elf before Orc make nice fight with Elf. If Orc win, Dwarf make nice fight with Orc. Orc laugh! Not need know what happen if Dwarf win bet, for Orc know that not happen. So her say yes. Her say her win. Her make nice fight with Dwarf soon.
Dwarf smile, for him think him trick Orc. Him think no Elf ever want make nice fight with Orc or Dwarf. But him not know how smart Orc.
Dwarf not think Orc try make nice fight with Elf who not citizen. Him forget about Elf who not citizen. It not break law for make nice fight with non-citizen. It not break law even if Elf not want nice fight. When Orc say this, Dwarf scare again. Him not think of that.
So Orc stand up. Orc pick up club. Orc pick up big stick. And Orc go make hunt for Elf.
That night, Orc not find Elf for nice fight. Dwarf look happy, but Orc not worry. Orc know her win. Orc know Dwarf lose soon.
Next day, Orc still not win. But Dwarf not win too.
And day after day after day happen. Still Orc not win bet. Still Dwarf not win bet.
But Orc not worry.
One day Dwarf leave Orc with meatsack mage. Him say him need Orc for do job. Him say it job of Orc for watch mage. And Dwarf go away. But Dwarf make mistake. Dwarf leave Orc with meatsack mage and with Dark Elf.
When Dwarf leave, Orc speak with Dark Elf. Her ask Elf for make nice fight. Elf not look happy. Him scare. Him not want make nice fight with Orc. But Orc not worry. Orc know win bet now. Elf not have armour. Orc have more armour than her need. And land at war. There many enemy in woods. Many enemy which want break bone of Elf. Many enemy which want make Elf bleed on dirt.
Orc keep offer trade with Elf. Her keep talk about how enemy want make Elf dead. Her keep talk about how her have armour her not want. Her say make trade. Her say give armour for nice fight with Elf.
Elf not look so good. Him look sick. Him look scare. But him know there not more armour for find. So him drink all grog of Orc. Him drink much and then him say him want make nice fight with Orc for trade for armour.
And Orc smile, for Orc know her win bet.
Meatsack mage sit and watch. Him look surprise. Him look scare. But him not leave, for him not know what look like when Orc make nice fight with Elf. Him like learn many thing.
So whole time Orc make nice fight with Elf. Meatsack mage stay sit. Him watch Orc with mouth open like him want yell, but him not make big noise. Him just sit still with mouth open big. Eye open big. Him look scare, but him not leave. Whole time Orc make nice fight with Elf, Orc not stop watch meatsack. And whole time, Elf hug knee to chest and make squeak like small mouse while him get fist of fury from Orc.
Orc think Elf not so good at make nice fight. Him just lie on ground and groan and cry. After win bet, Orc think not ever make nice fight with Elf again. Elf not know how make nice fight back. But Orc glad Orc do it this one time. It good for it mean Orc win bet. And that how Orc win bet while not stop do work.
