The Forest Troll home

You found yourself in the forest t roll’s city, their community was so much larger than that of the dark trolls. The most important members of your, including yourself were taken to a meeting hall while the others were given much-needed food, drink and a place to rest. The forest chief and some of his important tribe members had also gathered in a big meeting hall. The two dragons lay either side of the entrance and began talking to each other in Draconic which neither You or the trolls understood. Your’s guardian dragon, Azur, had always spoken to her in English.

Hoodah, chief of the forest trolls spoke up in a loud bombing voice “We gladly welcome our dark kin to our forest and to our city. You are welcome to stay as long as you need. Our magic is combined with the magic of the gods to keep this forest safe and prosperous. However, If you were to aid us in rescuing the Forest Prince we may be able to save the land outside our forest from this terrible drought that no doubt drove you here.” He concluded.

“Who is this Forest Prince?” Xanfar asked.

“He is the demi -god son of my daughter, Kina, and the horned god, Cernunnos. His name is Abbán and he represents the deal we have with the gods that protects our forest. He has been kidnapped by the Queen of the Elves. She wishes to marry him to her daughter when they both come of age thus steeling the bounty Cernunnos provides.”

“Where can we find this Elven Queen?” Xanfar asked.

“Her land was the first and worst hit by the drought. It was sent by Cernunnos as punishment for holding our son captive. Once they are married, Abbán will no longer be a captive and Cernunnos will have **** to transfer his blessings over to the elves or our son will die.” A female forest troll spoke. She must be the boy’s mother and daughter of the Chief.

“So you have a choice, you could live in this forest with us safe from the outside world until the marriage when the curse will be lifted then you can return to your jungle or you can save the forest prince and the curse will be lifted however it may cost you your lives as the elves are very powerful.” Hoodah delivered his ultimatum. “We forest trolls are too week to face them on our own but with your help, we may stand a chance.”

“I have a plan.” You interjected.

“I am curious as to why my brothers let a human join their tribe and saw her important enough to bring to this meeting. Tell us this plan little human.” Hoodah demanded.

“From the legends I have been told about your people, the forest trolls are known to be fierce warriors. Whereas from what I have learnt from my adopted people, the dark trolls are great at sneaking and ambushes. We have some worriers but most of our tribe are hunters. If you were to lead your tribe into a battle against the elves aided by our worriers. This will draw their attention away from the castle and allow me and a group of dark trolls to sneak into the castle and rescue the prince. I am not just any human, I am a princess. I know the various layouts of a castle of by heart even ones made by elves.”

“I back Nora on this plan.” Xanfar added.

“All in favour?” asked Hoodah. There were many voices of agreement amongst the forest trolls. “That settles it then, we will follow this plan. Choose your infiltration party, human.” Hoodah declared.
