Chapter 76

• I was awake at first light, but I wasn't the only one. A few of the others were as well. The women were responsible for cooking for the clan. They were up and had a head start on things.
• I just got up and started helping them because I had nothing else to do. I could tell that they were a little uncomfortable with me helping, not wanting the queen to do any menial labor, but I was used to working like this. So I really didn't mind.
• As soon as Thaddeus woke up, he gathered his best soldiers, and we were the first to eat.
