Time passed and Jirina's training in the ways of the Org-Ta continued.All the while,she found herself
drawing strength from the earth beneath her.She managed to exceed Gar-ak's expectations and
then some.Gar-ak and two of his Warbrothers,Gadur and Orrek,were obviously impressed.
"Her training goes well,and without arousing any suspicion from the guards."Gar-ak said.
"That may be so,"replied Gadur,"but we have yet to see how well she
will handle herself in a true combat situation."
"How can there be any doubt,Gadur?"Orrek said."She grows stronger as time goes by.You can tell."
It was true.By now,Jirina had reached her final height of six feet and six inches and weighed
somewhere between two-hundred fifty and three hundred pounds,all solid muscle.Part of her strength
came from the very soil under her feet and part of it from the intense training she underwent.
"Soon,Warbrothers,"Gar-ak said."Soon she will be worthy of the name Org-Ta."
While the three Org-Ta were in discussion,Jirina herself proceeded with her training,managing,among
other things,to punch a hole in a nearby wall.If she had felt any pain,she gave no sign of it.It was
then that she realized she had to return to her shift as soon as possible.For it was this that gave her
ample opportunity to see how these slavers operated.Such knowledge would prove invaluable to her
and her fellows.
Jirina awoke to find herself in the inn in Michi.Sure enough,as she stood outside,her two Warbrothers
were already arriving.
"Warsister,"Joren exclaimed,"Ganik and I heard something rather interesting that we both think you
should hear."
"Well?"Jirina asked.
"Beyond the Banori caverns,by the Wyldern river,some sort of fortress has been built."Ganik said.
"I see,"Jirina replied.
"I guess we know where to go next,eh,Warsister?"Joren said.
"We do indeed,Warbrothers.We do indeed,"was Jirina's reply."One question.Did you find out who was
in charge of this fortress?"
"From what I heard,"Ganik said,"One General Venal."
Soon afterwards,Jirina and her Warbrothers left Michi.They all realized that to reach the river they
would have to get through the fortress commanded by Pogras.A difficult notion at best,but Jirina was
determined and her Warbrothers were just as determined as well as loyal.On the way,they fought
fierce creatures as well as scattered patrols.Soon enough,the fortress was in sight.As much as the
three would have liked to deal a decisive blow against the traitor Pogras,such an action had to be set
aside for now.And this was not the only thing that concerned them.To reach Venal's fortress they
would have to pass by the caverns of the Banori.Dealings between the Org and the Banori were
difficult at best.Still . . .
"All we have to do is distract those two guards over there,"Jirina said,pointing at the two blue org
at the entrance.
"I see,"said Ganik.
"Then,may I suggest rolling that boulder in that direction?"Asked Joren as he pointed to a rock
which reached to Jirina's midriff.
"Somehow that does not seem like a plan to me,"Ganik said.
"Do you have any better ideas,Ganik?"Asked Jirina.Ganik's only reply was silence."I thought not,"
she commented.The boulder Joren had pointed to was smooth and round,perfect for rolling.Jirina
was certainly strong enough to push a boulder like that and so she did.as the boulder sped,it
attracted the attention of the two org guards at the entrance.Now was the three Org-Ta's chance.
Soon enough they made their way to the river.
The Wyldern river stretched out before Jirina's eyes while her Warbrothers worked on a makeshift
raft. None of them realized that they were being watched.
