My book
I am trying to translate my book (writing in Portuguese) to English to post it on Wattpad. This is what I already did (Idk if it's right):

Prologue
The men were bathed in the flickering light of the campfire which drove away the night darkness. The sound of burning fat at the fire was the melody to the conversations. They were in five talking about battle, women and gold. Samuel had not much to say and just agreed most of the time. He never had a woman, he was no rich and his first battle was just a couple of days ago.
─ What did they put in this beeer? ─ Bigger Blackgravel asked while throwing the empty jar to the woods ─ It tastes like piss !
─ And what was the day that you tried piss brother ?
─ They say it is imp's piss to bring luck...
─ What was that?! ─ Bigger Blackgravel yelled.
─ That what? ─ Loron seemed he didn't like to be interrupted.
─ At the woods, see?
─ It was just the wind, brother. Now go to bed, you drank too much already.
─ I didn't drink too much...
─ Wait! ─ Kevin was reaching for his sword scabbard while looking to the dark forest. ─ I saw it too. Look, it is moving.
The shadow was in between two tall pines almost indistinguishable by the bushes, it was slowly going inside the woods as inviting them to fallow.
─ Boy, catch the crossbows. We got an animal to hunt.
At that moment, Samuel was sure Bigger Blackgravel was not the only one that had drank too much alcohol. Even being an experiment hunter, Kevin was putting the group at a needless danger. But Samuel had not the courage to confront him, and heeded the order as fast as he could.
The men went into the forest guided by the moonlight and fallowed the supposed animal tracks.
─ What if it's bear? ─ Bigger Blackgravel asked in some higher tones that the appropriate for someone who is hunting.
─ There're no bears in this region. ─ Loron answered in the same tone.
─ Shh... shut up, it is close, I can feel it.
The silence hung over the forest. They tried to pickup any sign that indicate the animal's proximity, but the only thing Samuel could hear was a far away hooting owl. Kevin, however, saw something in the woods, in a split second he aimed with the crossbow and shot.
