I’m so pathetic. Nulgha was right when he called me weak that one time. Those humans attacked us when we were hunting. We were just minding our business. I promise Ma I’d come back. Oh, gods, Ma… Me and all the other hunters went out to the forest. I liked hunting. I was good at it. But humans found us…Pa and the men fought, all the boys I knew fought. They all died. I didn’t fight. The humans laughed, said I’d make a good guard dog. I don’t know what that is. Now I’m here. In this…house. They called you “lord”. That must mean you’re important. I was supposed to be a great hunter and fighter, like Pa. But here I am, just a pet to some nasty human. A lapdog, as those soldiers said…
