"OH NO YOU DON'T!"<br/>Diving onto Snuff, Garashna forced him to move away from where she suspected he had found the scent of shrooms... A by no means a task in itself, when it was a full grown Bristleback intent on eating what it had found, but after all, Garashna was used to dealing with his kind and she was his 'mother'.<br/>"Move over you stubborn pig you!...You'll get your share!"<br/><br/>If it had been anything else, then the young Orc would have quite happily let him eat what he had found, but shrooms? Oh no, they were highly sought after and brought a pretty penny at market, especially if the right traders were there. Hell if it was good quality she could make more on this than the family could with almost a month's meat.<br/>With practiced ease, garashna's strong hands dug into the soil below the tree. Ignoring Snuffs angry and frustrated complaints, she pulled out three of the shrooms. Two were rather small and she handed one straight over to Snuff for his share, but the third was like gold. It could have been the most perfect on she had ever seen, at least that she could remember, Garashna dusted and blew the earth off it and gently rubbed the skin to slightly bruise it before bringing it up to her nose and taking a long slow sniff. If it had looked perfect, then the smell told her it mostcertainly was.<br/>Grinning the Orc placed it into her pouch and thumped Snuff hard on the shoulder before giving him the third shroom, the second of the small ones.<br/>"There you go, you deserve this other one."<br/>She patted her pouch gently.<br/>"This one here is more than enough for my share..."<br/><br/>Another hard pat on the Bristleback's shoulder and Garashna stood back up, retrieved her spear from where she had dropped it, to dive on the excited pig, then checked that the sows were still happy rooting around the woodland's floor.<br/><br/>Her free time was almost up, she would have to be heading back, get the sows bedded down again and then continue with her chores, or she'd never get off early to catch up with her friends.<br/>Just about to send Snuff off to round the sows up, she realised that his attention had been taken by something else, something coming from the direction of the river.<br/><br/>She too turned and stood silently, blocking out the other, more familiar sounds around her, so that she could listen.<br/>It was singing...A song she couldn't place, from a voice she didn't recognise.<br/>Raising her eyebrows, she looked down at Snuff.<br/>"D'you recognise that voice then?"<br/>Snuff gave a snort in reply.<br/>"yeah, thought not, neither do I..."<br/><br/>Garashna looked up at the sky, viewing it through the canopy of leaves, she still had a little more time to go.<br/>She looked down at Snuff and grinned.<br/>"OK...yes I'm curious too....lets go and have a look shall we...."<br/>
