Lex found herself outside a cave entrance, She had been tracking down some trolls for the past day. Apparently someone went and got themselves captured by the creatures. It was dumb of them to get captured, but it was her job. To rescue them by any means necessary, though Hopefully, she wouldn't have to kill the creatures as they were exceedingly rare. And she would much rather kill them. However, lives came first. She didn't find miss Sydney. A hard task necessarily, but Charles would be formidable opponents. If she did have the fight, and that was the last thing she wanted to do today. She absolutely despised having to get herself dirty by fighting. It was bad enough she had to wander through the forest for a whole day. Tracking them to the start debt cave. She took a deep breath, stealing her nerves as she then slowly proceeded to walk deeper inside the cave. She feel the damp walls around, however, too much to her surprise, it wasn't completely dark. There were a few torches dotting the walls along the walkway. She found this quite faster than meeting these weren't just big dumb beasts there was a someone's of intelligence among them. Maybe this means They could be reasoned with. Though she had no idea what that would entitle do they even speak her language? This was a Field that she knew very little about. Though that wouldn't dissuade her and what she had to do, regardless the idea of learning more actually intrigued her. Though as she got deeper as she rounded a corner, she came to a large room. Inside the charger with room, there were two trolls adding things into a large metal cauldron that was resting on top of a large wooden pile that would be used to make fire a large fire that underneath it. Inside the children, there was one man tied up, bound, gagged and looking scared out of his mind. She couldn't blame him, though, should the rules be reversed? She would also be quite terrified on the situation. Though the big problem in the room with the two massive trolls, they were slowly adding things into the pot getting ready to cook and make a meal out of him. It didn't take A genius to look at them and see how they weren't be much stronger and imposing compared to herself. And Australian fight, she probably wouldn't stand a chance against them by herself… Though that's slowly started not to matter. As I turned and immediately saw her locking eyes with her as there was a very long moment. When no one did anything, even the man. Trapped inside the pot, just sat there looking at her. The trolls look to each other , then back at her, then back at each other. Finally, the one on the left started to speak up.
Nothu thief come steal from us.
He said in a dumb troll like fashion. Lex didn't have much to work off of but what seemed to have happened was very clear. Fortunate that they were able to have intelligent conversation. She took a deep breath before looking at them They had to think quick she had a feeling of these guys were on the slower dumber aside, then they were probably not as patient as she wanted.
Hello darlings, my name is Lex I'm here looking for that man in your pot. I don't suppose there's any chance you would be willing to release him.
She spoke in a slow, calm manner. Her hands were so above her head. As she showed no hostility as she looked between the two trolls. They seemed to need a minute as she spoke. More words than they were used to. However, they were thinking and clearly understood her. Before they responded to her, the one in the woman. The right one scratching his head a little bit, seeming confused by her request. Looking like she just sprouted another hat on her shoulder and no quest was The most confusing thing she could have said.
Pretty lady wants dinner…we give her dinner….feed her dinner?
Nah I think pretty lady wants to steal dinner…like he tried steal.
What's the note like where their conversation was quickly? She took a stuck closer, clearing out her throat for a me to get their attention before looking between them once again. But then to the one at the right who insinuated. She was here to steal from them.
Darling, I promise you are not here to steal… On the contrary I think having dinner with you to fine creatures would be wonderful….
She said and she didn't really mean it. She actually was quite opposed to this. She could lower her standards for commoners if she had to. But dying in a cave with trolls is somewhere she had to draw a line. She just wanted to make sure they understood that she wasn't here. Still for them, but she wasn't here to do them any sort of harm if they attacked them. This whole thing would be for nothing.
Okay, we light fire pretty lady…
He said as he reached over for one of the tortures on the wall as her eyes went wide, she put out one of her hand almost instinctively in a stopping motion as she went a bit wide-eyed.
NO! I mean no darlings I would love to dine with you. However, you don't want to eat him, do you?
This got him to stop reaching for the torch. Giving her a small sigh relief as they look at each other. And one of the rights started scratching his head a little bit looking very confused. Let's already knew his question before you were gonna ask it. And she was already thinking of ways or reasons why all these two trolls would not want to eat this human even though they probably have eaten other humans before.
Pretty lady says not to eat human…
Lady why we no eat human?
Suddenly the left one started approaching her as if I were up-and-down like a piece of meat that could also go in the pot. She took a deep breath, putting her arms to her sides. Looking at him doing her best to not show any sort of fear or resistance. She didn't want them to get the idea that they could easily manipulate or manhandle her, but she also wanted to stay in somewhat control of this conversation not if she had a pace to it.
Darlong, look at him he so..Gamey…hardly enough meet for two strong trolls like yourselves…
She said throwing out a hail Mary to them. As a reason, even she didn't like her own reasoning. But it's the first thing that came to her mind so she could keep talking. If there wasn't a troll now standing in front of her studying. This would be truly a thrilling experience. However, at this moment, she was a bit terrified more than usual. However, she stood her ground. She was a magic night and she needed to save this person. Though the fact that they were able to talk. And when told you, it was quite fascinating. Though the troll finally spoke, breaking her out of her stupid of thought.
Heh pretty lady said we strong!
Yes you are darling If you eat him, then you gonna have more people coming to bother you, and you don't want that it's not such a headache, smashing one or two is fun, but smashing ten of us. That's a lot of work, don't you think?
Yeah that sounds like hard work…
The one in the back said scratching his head. Looking at the pot and the man inside of it then back at Lex. She could see he was starting to actually get a little upset now which confused her, she Took a deep breath looking at him as he started to talk again.
But we punish human for stealing by eating him….how he get punish if we don't eat him.
She saw the terrified look on man's eyes as he struggled a bit in the pot as she took a breath, thought about this calm way. She didn't think this would work, but she wouldn't throw it out in any way. Who knows she's been wrong before.
Darling as on of his kind, I promise you he will be punished.
Technically, she wasn't to human. She was a witch, but she highly doubt that these shows cared one way and the other day what the same, thus they were the same. Put the troll in the back, spoke up immediately.
No…We no trust that…we eat as punishment.
She took a deep breath. This was a bit of a mess. However, she didn't have another solution in mind. Though she would definitely have to warn the magic Knights about this cave to make sure people didn't come near it again. The go shitting like this each time will be a asshole. Especially for ones like her who weren't really good at social interaction. To begin with, having to do this with monsters was not ideal. But with that, she took a nice breath, looked at the one in front of her and then the one behind him and spoke.
Darlings what if the three of us go hunting and find you something with more meat on its body… We can trade.
They both fuck to each other. Then back at her as the one in front laughed. Suddenly it made her jump, it caught her a bit off. Guard. Not expecting to hear a troll laugh in the cave. And then the one behind her, sir laughing. She put on a smile, not knowing exactly what they were laughing about. Just praying to God, it was a good laugh. She took a deep breath waiting for them. To finish as the one in back turned starting to walk towards its companion speaking.
Pretty lady hunts…I like pretty lady
Fine pretty lady brings back meat…We trade.
It wasn't exactly what she was expecting, but if she had to be back food for them, then that's what she would have to do. However, she didn't get an idea suddenly. An idea that if worked, hopefully they would be able to clear enough distance in enough time before there would be other catch up. She threw out her idea as another hail Mary. They seemed capable of sentient thought and speaking words, but they seemed rather dumb to her intentions, especially because they didn't think she was pretty.
Darlings as much as I want to hunt. Don't you think you'll be better for your captive to hunt, He did try to steal from you after all, It only makes sense that he gets you your dinner.
The two trolls looked at each other as if she had the best idea for a life that it all made perfect sense and they're ahead. Of course, the one who tried to steal should get them dinner and should serve them, it was so obvious. However, one suddenly stopped the one in the left as if getting a blast of brilliance in his head looked at Lex squinting his eyes.
"How we know he won't run"
Oh darling I'll make sure that, after all I want to dine with you two strong trolls~
She said and the best mature and almost seductive told you card. Even though on the inside, she wanted nothing to do with either of them. She was a bad actor she wasn't gonna pretend like she was a good actor and if there's any kind of noble or anyone with any kind of intelligent thought, there's not a chance I would have bought that. However, luckily for her, these creatures were dumb, very, very dumb. The one on the right looked at the one on the left and just laughed.
Pretty lady said we strong
Fine pretty lady brings us meat, kill human if he runs.
You have my word darling~
She said that suddenly the trolls lifted the human out of the pot and cut the ropes off his hands and legs, but not undoing the gag. The human suddenly ran towards Lex scurrying on his hands and feet towards her as if begging for safety. But all she did was look Down at him and lifted it up by the back of his vanity shirt at this point, looking in the eyes, still putting on a bit of a show for the trolls and She Then threw him out of The Way towards the mouth of The Cave.
We will be back soon~
She said with a bit of a purr in her voice as she then walked to the mouth of the cave yelling at the man on the ground to move it just as a display for the trolls but as soon as they get to the mountain for the cave, she put a finger to her mouth signaling Or him to be absolutely silent as she undid his mouth gag. She does he then motioned for him to follow as she started making a way towards the erection she came from. It was the quickest way she could think of the get of the woods. They were dumb, but eventually they would figure out that something was wrong. And that maybe they weren't coming back or food they need to be found. And if they were found again, she highly doubted she'd be talking her way of the situation. What was most important? Was he as much ground as possible, covered and getting back to civilization where they would have backup or help if needed.
Eventually, though they got away from the cave far enough away where they found where the man's town and village was. She successfully brought him there and returned him to the leader of the village. Glad that the job was done, and she never had to deal with that again. She did do her best to warn the chief of her findings regarding the trolls how they were intelligent Beast and would need to be very, very careful around that area. She warned them that she didn't know what kind of magic they used, but they were smart enough to be able to cast magic from herston opposite of intermingling with them, however, that they seem to be quite unintelligent, so as long as they stayed calm and try to talk they. Won't get attacked right away.
The chief thanked her for the information, and the brother was rescued and was safe and sound. A good day's work for her complete as she then Went to return home back to her blue rose knight headquarters. Now the way things on her mind was getting out of these clothes and getting the scent of troll and cave out of her glad to be done with this mission and away from Those repulsive creatures.
