Chapter 2: Trolls!
"Erik! Are you ok!" I heard a feminine voice say. I noticed I was on the ground, sweating profusely. I opened my eyes to see Ariane kneeling down to see if I was okay. "Yes, I'm fine. What happened?" I asked. "You were convulsing on the bed. What happened?" She asked with a bit of worry in her voice. "I had a dream." I explained what happened in the dream including the part with the greater demon, but I didn't tell her what he said.
"Demons aren't known to enter people's dreams. They only enter a person's dreams with messages, important ones- What did the demon say to you?" Ariane said with even more worry. "He wanted to recruit me for Zamorak." I said plainly. "Did he know that you're the world guardian?" She said. "It didn't seem like it." I was hoping that none of the gods knew about me as the world guardian. "Well let's get you to the kitchen for some warm tea." Ariane said comfortingly.
"How did you know what was wrong with me?" I said as I sipped my tea. "I had another vision." Ariane was a seer, one who can see into the future briefly, and a mage. "Ah, I see, no pun intended." I said reassuringly. We just sat there sipping our tea not talking. I couldn't stand the silence between us. That's when I noticed her eyes were hazed over grey, she was having another vision. "You okay, Ariane?" I said hoping to get a response from her within a few seconds. "It was just another vision of Taverley being attacked by trolls, nothing unusual there right?" Ariane said.
"Well I haven't been to Taverley in while, maybe they could use some help." I said trying to lighten the mood. "Sure, why not." Ariane said with a bit of happiness in her voice, probably because she was glad to see me ready to help those in need again, especially after what just happened with me. "Be right back." I said. I quickly went to my armour room to put on my torva armour. Afterwards, we walked through the courtyard of my house to get to the portal that will take us back to Taverley.
I chose the house portal next to Taverley in order to get to the people in need there much quicker. As soon as we stepped through the portal we saw a few dozen troll commandos roaming through the street alley ways. "Hmm, we'll have to be quiet so they don't notice us." I whispered. "Agreed." Ariane whispered back. I put on my razor sharp chaotic claws. I started sneaking through alley ways, with Ariane behind me.
Good thing trolls are really loud and dumb otherwise we would have been over-run within minutes. "These 'umans are 'umb. They so scared of us. Heh, heh, heh." a troll commando said. "Stay here Ariane." I said as I neared the troll commandos. I got behind a troll and practically hugged the troll from behind, one claw around his throat, the other on his gut. "Wha teh." the troll said, almost with hint of fright. Before he could try anything, I ripped out his throat and slashed his gut.
Green blood just seeped out of his wounds, mostly from his neck wound though. I was dragging him to another dark alley, when some trolls saw the blood trail. They just ran at me with their clubs, throwing rocks, and magic staves at the ready. The troll commando with the club raised it and swung it down towards my head.
Next thing I knew they were all on the ground. "That should keep them down long enough." Ariane said. "Thanks." I said. I saw a small family, with two children who appeared to be five and six, running towards their house with two trolls, who had clubs, running after them. "Cover me." I said, with a hint of anger in my voice.
I ran after the trolls from the side. As soon as I was close enough I tackled one who then fell into the other troll. So with a quick thrust of my chaotic claw into one trolls abdomen, I ripped out his liver. I then looked at the other troll with hatred in my eyes. "How dare you, you dimwitted, insignificant, piece of trash terrorize this family!"
The troll just looked at my with fear in its eyes. With that I then stuck my thumb, with the claw still on my hand, in to his left eye. "AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!" the troll just screamed a blood curdling scream. Afterwards, I pulled my thumb out of his eye, with green ooze on it, I then said, "Go tell your friends of what happened here today." So I got off of him and he just stumbled away screaming, "RETREAT!"
