"Are you sure this is it?"

Your fiance was kneeled over, picking up sand to see if he can catch any of the troll's scents. Neither him nor Sting could pick up anything. "It's gotta be it. There's nothing else around." His blonde partner in crime could only argue it.

"Come on." You interrupted and started marching into that island's dense forest with Hana. "We're not gonna find anything sitting here on the shore."

You all wandered into the small island's forest where you'd hope there would be trolls to fight. There was nothing though! Not a spec of troll to be found! You had a run in with other monsters again, but no damn trolls!

Sting actually tried to beat information out of this monster who had the body of a giraffe, the texture of a slug, but the teeth of a piranha. Sting beat him so bad that it started crying, so he made it feel better by petting his head and saying Sting didn't mean it. A few scolds towards the blonde dragon slayer and your journey continued on.

Sting was getting hungry and Rogue was getting agitated at the hungry Sting. Hana wasn't paying attention and you were just standing in the awkwardness of all of it. "Are you sure there are even trolls attacking? Because we obviously can't find them and no one has seen them." Sting's hungry attitude was showing.

Hana rolled her eyes and shrugged. "Whatever. I'm trusting my people so you can leave if you want. I'm looking for trolls."

Sting's hungriness must have really gotten to him because his fit stomach growled and he started sniffing the air. That was around the time Rogue was trying to hide his stomach growls. Dragon slayers.

You actually started smelling something too. Meat. It was meat and you were hungry. "Who the Hell's cooking in the middle of a forest?!" You ask anyone in your little group of four.

Hana raised one of her perfectly plucked eyebrows and grinned. "Hungry trolls perhaps?"

You smiled in response while the two boys were ready to attack for food. Rogue was more discreet about it, but hey, you've seen him hungry before. This was obviously one of those times. "Maybe it's the vill-" You quickly elbowed the dumb ass blonde who had the audacity to bring up a disgusting topic like that. "Ow!" You just happened to elbow his gut.

"Don't say something like that!" You whispered and eyeballed Hana so he got the hint. When he did get it, he tried to brush it off like nothing. After a good scolding from Hana, you continued your hungry search.

You huff and place your fists on your hips while trying not to breath in the meat-scented air. "Okay, we're not getting anywhere here. I think we should split up again and take the different sides of the islands."

"Alright, me and (Y/N) are together." Sting smiles, reaching to wrap his arm around your shoulder.

Rogue gets a good strong hold on Sting's collar and pulls him along. "Haha, very funny." His fake laugh and a swift smack upside Sting' head is the last thing you see before turning around and walking the opposite direction with Hana.

The scent only got stronger though. That killing scent that made you feel sick. What if they were cooking... villagers? Well, you covered your mouth to keep any sick thoughts from pouring out. You had almost started walking funny from all the gross thoughts and oncoming dizziness, but Hana's quick arm shooting in front of you made you jump out of your skin.

"Jesus! What's wrong with you?!" You almost yell/ask her, pushing her arm away from you.

Hana points to the sky, showing you a small grey cloud moving further and further up into the sky. "Smoke."
