Author Note:
I'm patting myself on the back. Now, Im in second place in terms of review in Terms of Naruto/Frozen crossovers. Go me! Okay on with the story.
Review Corner:
Someone, who is a guest, so doesn't have a screen name, remarked that the trolls are very shady.
Thats exactly how I wanted them to seem. More on that in this chapter.
He also requested that Mei meet the younger versions of the Kiri characters we meet (Done), and become a member of the Seven Swordsmen. I won't do the second part, but I will do the first.
Suicune 132 commented that Neon Zangetsu has good style, which I agree with, and to not get discouraged. I greatly appreciate it, so thanks.

Chapter 10: Nature
Once upon a time, there was a lion and a water buffalo. The lion needed to get to the other side of a river, but being a cat, a very large cat, but still a cat, it couldn't swim. So, what did it do?
It asked his friend, the water buffalo to take him across.
"I don't know, don't lions usually eat water buffalo? How do I know that you aren't trying to get on my back so you could rip my neck out and devour me?" The water buffalo asked, suspiciously.
"Look, the river is to deep for me to swim. If I kill you, I'll drown soon before eating you. I have no reason to kill you. Just take me across." The lion replied, exasperated.
The water buffalo couldn't see any way around this logic, so he nodded and told the lion to hold on.
Together they started crossing the river, but soon after, the lion reached down and ripped the buffalo's throat open.
Just before he bleed out, the buffalo managed to ask, "Why? Now we'll both die."
The lion just shrugged, even knowing the buffalo had passed on, he still replied, "It was in my nature."
The moral of the story is that or the majority of the animal kingdom, you can't fight against nature.
King Pabbie was not a bad troll, or so he'd like to think. The nature of trolls simply dictated that they gain knowledge as quickly as possible, for that was there only goal in life. That was there purpose.
Was it wrong for him to go about accomplishing his purpose the way he did? Maybe, but who are you to judge. Are you a god? Are you in any fashion, superior to him? For no inferior or equal being should be allowed to judge the ones above them. If you are superior than what makes you superior?
Is it that you are human. Does being human make you proud, make you view non inferiors as beneath you?
King Pabbie could care less what others thought. He wanted knowledge for that was what his nature dictated he do. Even if it meant that he had to manipulate a young girl to achieve his end goals.
It wasn't enough for Pabbie that once every blue moon a human would come by with a job. The meager memories that they gained in exchange for that job was not enough to sate Pabbie's hunger or knowledge, so he decided to find an alternative means in order to gain memories at a faster rate.
It turns out that a summoning scroll aids both parties.
In the case of the Trolls, the summoner gained free access to the troll library, which was the greatest source of information in the western world, and exceptional tutors in whatever area they chose to study. In addition, they gained partners in battle. While the trolls weren't great warriors, they were good enough to pass, and they were very versatile.
The trolls on the other hand gained the memories of the summoner, or rather, copies of a memory. How long they can 'view' said memories depended on how ong they had been summoned.
Say Mei summoned Pabbie for half an hour, Pabbie would be able to view Mei's life for half an hour.
This meant that Pabbie could watch the eastern world for half an hour through Mei's eyes. The best part is that if he was watching and ran out of time, then it was no problem, because he could just resume from where he left off last time.
Pabbie leaned back in order to enjoy the show, time to start.
