He was slowly coming to as I sat next to him. The wound was still bleeding but I had done my best to prevent it from infecting. I liked the little guy, I had seen him, he had choped off the head of one of my best soldiers. Our code was to never kill an enemy unless necesary, or at least that was my code. 

The creature lifted its head and looked the opposite way from me. Then he turned his head and jumped up. Then it fell to the ground again and scrambled away. 

"Don't be afraid! I am not going to harm you." I tried to calm the small figure. He just shook hid head, "My name is Nick! Do you have a name?"

"Of course I have a name! My name is Zaitan." he became very talkative all at once. He blabbed around and came closer again. This surprised me but I later learned that telling your name was a sign of deep trust and friendship. It was a symbol of how great your trust was to someone.

"Zaitan, get down!" a voice yelled from behind me, then an arrow struck my shoulder and I went down to the floor on my knees. 

"Father, no! This is a friend! He has given me his trust! Do not shoot him! If you do then you will have to shoot me first!" Zaitan cried out.

"I am glad you follow our code! I will..." Thats when I blacked out.

Later I found myself again in the hospital wing. My shoulder was throbing and I couldn't move.
