Bron and Rast thought it would be an easy pay day, kill a wandering party of orcs that are harassing a nearby village then reap the rewards. The battle might just be harder than they thought though with some unexpected allies helping out.
Rast and Bron are hired to kill orcs for a group of villagers when their cattle start to go missing. Thinking of it as easy pay, they accept and head out to intercept their mark, but something else intervenes...
For a short story, I think it's well done. There's just enough character building for the story to make sense without making it too long, and the characters are likeable and hospitable enough.
As someone who, I know, over exaggerates a lot in writing, I think a bit more character building between the two sets of brothers would have been nice. Also, there are a few places where punctuation has been missed, which impacted how it read it a little.
