Lyons had only Kate's word to go on. His lordship could not wait to test the lad's the young man's abilities. "I have belief in Kate's judgement. From now on you will be Kate's assistant, my ward, and you will live among the the mages while in camp. I need you to be my voice among the remaining orcs and trolls. The captured will be healed and allowed to return to their homeland. Come join me as I need you to heal and translate for Chief Firewalker's  warriors. Latagua, we will go see the prisoners now; talk of terms of surrender; and see if any are fit for travel back to their hunting grounds."<br/><br/>Lyons took a last swig of brandy; introduced Latuga to three officers; and ordered a Sargent of Arms to bring them three high ranking, captured orcs, in iron bonds on hands. Lyons kept his ward, officers, and captives for two hours. Lyons dismissed his officers and faced the red-headed lad, "Latagua go aid the healers with the captives. It will take a while for you to understand our laws and customs. From now on you live as a Lyons. You will take what is given and eat, sleep, and live as a free man seeking no repayment. You will earn your keep once you are ready. We will talk tonight, in my tent, over dinner. That is dusk. Any questions?"
