Derekyanu's Viewpoint:

"TROLL!!!"

I tried to grab Tina'e as fast as I could but the creature was just too strong. It knocked us both of our feet.

"Huh, why are you all the way out here big guy?" I thought to myself.

I threw my blade to catch its attention, but no response. It looked like it was heading straight for the castle. "TINA'E!" I spotted her. Her body was trapped by the weight of a tree. With ease, I slowly lifted her on my shoulder and began running back to the fort.

"Damn" I said to myself, "It's blocking our escape."

As soon as it saw us, the troll swung its heavy club. Fortunately, it barely missed us. I had to find another way around.

I noticed that Tina'e was finally coming back to her senses when she said:

"Derek! We have to GO BACK! THERE'S SOMEONE STILL-"

I reciprocated by saying:

"Your Job's done! Now let me do MINE!"

"No! Look! He's in trouble!"

"I told you! I repeated, "My job is to protect you. We have to go!"

The man was surely in a pickle, but my first priority was to keep her out of harms way. Sadly, she denied my "wise" judgement and decided to go help the poor guy herself.

"WAIT TINA'E!!!"

All of a sudden, the creature noticed her heading towards the man. It looked like that she wouldn't make it that easily.

"Why do women have to be so complicated?!?

Complaining, I managed to catch the attention of the giant with a series of jumps and yells.

HEY!!! BIG GUY!!! YEAH THAT'S RIGHT OVER HERE!!!"

Thankfully, the troll was safely diverted away from Tina'e's direction but now, it was headed towards me! But as it was going to, I noticed something rather odd.

Usually, the eyes of a troll were green but as I looked into them, there was nothing but pure darkness. It's eyes were as black as the night. There's really something that doesn't feel right about this but nonetheless, I had to distract it. As soon as it was about to charge at me, I jumped on its behind the last second. The creature started wriggling vigorously, trying to get me out of its back.

"KEEP IT OCCUPIED!" she yelled at me.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING THEN?!?" I hollered back.

I tried reasoning with the creature, but it just kept getting agitated. It thrashed a countless number of times, swinging its club here and there. The debris almost hit Tina'e on the head. I knew that I had to act now!

"Oohhhhhhhhhhh, you just did it buddy..."

I made my way up his face and began tugging its hair. Sure it will annoy him, but wasn't that the plan? Once I did this, the sound of a loud trumpet, rung throughout the entire area and many footsteps were heading towards our direction. Metal clashing with metal can be heard as the Sol guards were making their way towards me and the creature.

"Ha, you never do cease to amaze me mom..."

I jumped off the troll and decided to help my men out.

"TIE IT DOWN!!!" I ordered them. The ropes bonded its legs, arms and lastly, its torso. It slowly fell on its back.

"INCOMING!!!" I shouted.
