"This way." Adira points.

I nod. I turn Ibis. I look around. I feel as though we're not alone. I hear something. I hear some fiddling and a gurggy sound. Anubis and Set growl. I nod. We're not alone. I turn to Adira. She nods. We halt to a stop. I get down off of Ibis.

"Why are we stopping?" Eugene whispers.

"We're not alone." I whisper.

"Someone's here." Adira whispers. 

"More like something." I say walking.

I take out my sword. Cece stands up from Ibis. I whistle to Anubis and Seth. They walk forward. I know they'll know who is out there. Or what is watching us. I start hearing muttering. Anubis growls to a pile of rocks.

"Do you think they see us?" A slimy voice asks.

I walk forward. 

"Shhh! Quiet Screll." Another voice asks.

"What? I'm just asking. The plan-" The slimy voice says.

"ShhhH!" The harsh raspy voice goes

I grab something with my hands. Well more like two things.

"Ghhya!" They yelp.

I throw them up. They slam into the ground. They were two small figures. Each with long noses. They had big ears. Slimy looking skin. Each had a pair of clubs. They smell awful. They wore tunics made of armor. Anubis growls.

"What's the big idea?!!" The first yells.

"Trolls?" I look at Adira.

"Trolls." Adira says.

I throw my sword at them.

"Tell me why you're here." I say.

"We live here! It's you that needs to tell us!" The second yells.

"I'm not so sure." I say.

I snap my fingers. Anubis and Seth walk over. They bared their teeth. 

"Ghhay!" The first says.

"Hahahahmmm." The second one chuckles.

"What's so funny." I ask.

"Oh nothing, just that we have you right where we want you." He laughs.

"We?" I ask.

An arrow shoots past me. I look up.

"Ambush!" King Edmund yells.
