"Some come to us famous, some to us to seek fame, it doesn't matter, as long as they have a fire in their hearts"- Quote Kodlak Whitemane
The snowstorm was fierce as if the very force of nature was trying its best to send Rayol to an icy grave. The snow was so deep Rayol's foot would sink with every step, and his face was numb from the cold. He knew he needed to find shelter quickly, but alas there was none in sight.
"Shit, after all I've been through, I'm gonna freeze to death, tssk, terrific." He muttered to himself
He walked and walked and when all seemed lost, there ahead of him was a cave burrowed in the side of a mountain. Rayol thanked the gods for this gift and began moving towards it. As he got closer he began smelling a very foul and familiar smell, Blood and rotting flesh.
Rayol drew Shadowvale from its sheath. It only became darker and darker as he continued down the cave, and the smell only became stronger. Once it became pitch black Rayol opened his left hand and focused his energy into it. As he became more focused on his flow of energy a glowing white energy appeared in his hand, he then lifted his hand towards the roof of the cave and the energy shot out of his hand and stuck to the cave like glue. The ball then became brighter and gave off a light thus lighting the entire cave.
"Thank the nine I learned that spell" Rayol muttered to himself
As his vision adjusted to the sudden burst of light he saw that the inside of the cave, including the ground was frozen over. He moved carefully as not to hit his head
Just then Rayol heard a growl and heavy breathing. He turned towards the origin of the sound only to see nothing then he heard ice falling to the ground he looked up and there on top of a ledge of ice was a Frost Troll. It was huge about two times bigger than Rayol. Its fur was completely white, thus giving the species its name, its three milky eyes were aligned in a triangular formation and they were all focused on Rayol. It then let out a roar so loud; some of the ice in the cave fell. It bared its sharp teeth and slid its claws across the ice.
"Why is my luck so bad?" Rayol said to himself
The troll charged, hoping to crush its prey, just as it was about to hit, Rayol rolled to the right, and the troll instead found itself eating ice from the wall. It turned around and roared in rage and took a swipe at Rayol. He dodged then slashed the troll across the chest giving it a nasty gash.
"Still hungry?!" Rayol taunted
To his surprise though the gash began closing and the blood slowly dried up. Rayol mentally socked himself for being such an idiot; he had forgotten that all trolls had advanced healing abilities.
The Troll charged once more, but Rayol was ready and jumped and used the troll as a springboard to get on the other side.
'Alright think! What stops the trolls healing, come on think, THINK!, Argh!, my brains on fire just thinking about this!, wait that's it.'
"Fire"
Rayol then stopped and jumped back and put his hands forward and focused his energy into his hands, they began to feel warm then hot, then hotter, and hotter.
The troll charged once more and raised its arm, ready to cleave Rayol's head off.
Rayol then put his hands to his side, then pushed them forward and out of then came a wave of fire that slammed right into the troll.
It screamed in pain and rolled on the cold ground to put out flames. As it got up most of its fur was burned off and its flesh was seared from the flames.
"Alright then, lets see if that worked." Rayol said as he lunged forward
He slashed the beast across its forearm and was pleased to see that it was healing.
"Lets wrap this up, I'm freezing my ass of here"
Rayol then dashed forward and plunged Shadowvale into the troll's stomach, it screamed and fell to its knees. Rayol then let go of his sword and took out his mother's twin daggers, Heart Breaker, and Heart Stabber. The daggers themselves were about 3 feet long from the hilt. The hilts were curved in the middle and were a golden color, the blades were shining silver and there was a message imprinted on the blades. Heart Breakers blade said, "Live?", and Heart stabber said "Or Die?"
Rayol then got behind the beast and climbed on its back and slammed his daggers into the sides of its neck. Rayol then gripped his daggers tight then threw his legs over the trolls left shoulder, which hit the ground, then once his upper body was at the beasts left he pulled down, cleaving the beast's head of in one swift motion. The body then fell on it's back. Rayol sheathed his daggers, walked up to the corpse and pulled Shadowvale free and sheathed it. Rayol then walked to the caves entrance and saw that the storm was still going strong. He walked back down and sat down and leaned against the caves wall. He knew he was going to be there a while, so he opened his right hand and watched the flames dance as they appeared in his palm. He then looked towards the troll's corpse.
"Wonder how roasted Troll tastes."
