On this night, you have travelled to the Flandria Forests. For whatever reason, whether the forests hold something you seek, or the daily hustle and bustle of city life is beating you down, you stand at the foot of this forest, beholding it’s true beauty. And the forest seems to welcome you itself, the path almost encouraging you to continue onward.
As you journey deeper, however, you notice that something seems… amiss. Everything seems still, almost. The birds do not chirp, and the stags do not run free. Though despite your concerns, you carry onward, ruling it off as nothing, or perhaps nothing more than a mere coincidence.
A slight tremor can be felt suddenly at your feet as you continue your stroll, as if the very earth itself was shaking. Loud chirps and shriek can be heard from the birds above as they flock away, fleeing the scene. The tremors grow louder and more apparent as something draws near, and your eyes dart about quickly. You must act, and be hasteful about it…
Finally, you lay your eyes upon a log about the size of a tree trunk, big enough to shelter you, one would think. You’d rush over to it, ducking down behind it, as the cause of the earthquakes would draw closer, and closer,,,
Finally, you’d peer over the trunk, and to your horror, find…
A great big troll, the size of a mountain, standing at fourteen feet tall, at least. His skin would be a clear gray, and a long, red scar would run down his back. He’d wear overalls of a sort to cover for modesty, with a large skull strapped to the front of it, a head which once rested on the shoulders of an Uruk, judging by the size of it. He’d walk with two stags under his arm, his next meals, no doubt. Though he’d struggle to keep them held in his grasp, the creatures instintively wriggling and kicking, eagar to break free. He’d walk on, regardless, as if barely noticing your presence. Trees would shake and rattle as he’d pass them, causing leaves to gracefully fall to the ground, and the tremors would gradually stop as the Troll would keep moving..
Whether it be a strong sense of bravery, or a foolish curiosity, you would decide to try and pursue the beast, heading the direction in which it went. After some minutes of walking, you’d finally stumble upon a cave, big enough for a creature like a troll to fit inside. Though as you’d approach, you’d reach your limit. The stench emitting from the caverns would be awful, unbearable for most. It would reek of death, and flesh, and lack of hygiene, to sum it up in a blunt manner. Smoke would rise out from deep within, and hearty bellows of laughter came be heard coming from the caves bowels.
So with that, you take your leave. The choice of whether to disclose what you have found or no is one left in your hands, however.
