After a few hours he carries the dragons -now stuffed angrily into a sack- towards the troll den.
The echo of troll footsteps reverberates through the darkness. A single torch approaches, it is held by a moutain of a troll. His face and torso is covered in bite marks, scratches and a few burns. Its glare narrows in on the squirming contents of the knapsack.
The towering creatures' eyes bulge, he takes a step back. His voice containing a slight tremble. "You brought them back?"

Apparently, the troll was the one who found the baby dragons abandoned by their mother. They were left to fend for themselves from predators lurking amongst the dark forest of Aldehem.

"How could I not? They could be used as a weapon against our common enemy." Ander counters, realizing that the troll wants nothing to do with these poor creatures.

The troll scoffed. He retreated further into the cave. His human visitor in close pursuit. Small squeaks echoing.
He coiled at the man. Whose face barely met his knee caps.
"You want to challenge her? She is the reason I left them at your village."
The man chewed on his lip. "Well if we don't stand up to her now with these miscreants."
He lifted up the bag to find a gaping hole in the bottom. The troll buried his face into a massive four finger hand.
The sound of squeaks echoed down the cave as small sparks illuminated the darkness.
Manderthal cursed in Troll-tounge.
He threw the torch into a puff of fire. The cave blackened again. As the troll stormed off his voice shouted at the troll in pursuit.
"Its ok i'll see myself into the pitch black cave. "
His hands glistened down the cave wall as he crept further into the cave.
