I don't know why I decided I would take up the responsibility of being a troll slayer so quickly. It seemed right. It also appealed to me a wee bit too. I felt like it was my destiny. This may be what I was designed for.
Gomber says so. He thinks my skill in fighting proves that I'm worthy of it. I've already slayed one troll before any training. Imagine how many I could slay after training!
The door bell rings and Gomber gets it.
'It's Anne, Thalia.'
Before I know it I'm out of my lazy boy and racing to the door.
'Anne! Anne!' I yell.
'Whoah! Slow down!' she gasps as I knock the breath out of her in an excited hug.
'We have soooo much to talk about.'
'Anne, what news is there that I don't know?'
'This and that. '
'That is a big change from 'soooo much news'.'
she grins sheepishly.
'I meant I wanted to know about your troll!'
'Oh my god. Well...'
So I launched into a big tale about the troll I slayed.
When I finished she just sat there, gobsmacked.
'Holy moly! You are good! Are you the slayer now?'
'Almost Definitely. '
'You rock Thalia! '
I grin.
'I know. '
