Red Rose

Avenlia emerged from the trees.
"Hay Adrian! What's the hurry?" Avenlia said cheerfully to her friend.
"Oh, and hello Meriado. Is there some sort of gathering going on? Or what?" Avenlia looked questioning at her fellows.
This little interruption had cost her a chat with the old city guard, Tim. But, she thought, running hastily out of the city while chasing Adrian and his bear had a bigger entertainment potential than the former. It all the depends on what will follow. Her thoughts passed through her head in less than a second, while she was on hold waiting for her friends' acknowledgment of her presence, and their answer to her questions.

Meriado looked astonished as Wolfy plowed through the trolls. He saw troll limbs flying all over. It was a bloodbath.

"Oh, well... that's one way to do it!" he said, but soon someone stepped through the bushes. It was Avenlia.

"Ah, Avenlia! How wonderful to see you! Did you follow Adrian?" Meriado said relieved.

"We haven't got any time to lose. Lets run back to the back entrance - the others are waiting!" Meriado continued and showed the way to the cave entrance at the back.

He quickly explained to Avenlia what was going on and why they were there. When they came back to the back entrance they saw Black Falcon and Anr still standing there.

"Lets sneak inside and find out what's going on. We've got find out who the mysterious man is, what Mild is up to and what the trolls are doing to the dogs and where they are being imprisoned" he explained to the others.

"In the name of Banor!" he proudly said and readied his sword before entering the cave.

Before they knew it a group of trolls, ten maybe fifteen, came running towards the entrance of the cave. "Hm, beer!" said one.
"I don't think they mean beer as the bewerage" Adrian said. He heard someone shouting "READY YOUR WEAPONRY!!" and another "FOR BANOR!"

After a while there was blood everywhere, troll blood. "That was easy, maybe they were talking about beer afterall" Adrian said as he snapped the neck of a troll.
"Anyone hurt?" They all seemed fine.
"Look for survivors, we might be able to get some clues on what's going on!" Black Falcon said as he wiped some sweat of his forehead.
Adrian fell to the ground, bleeding heavily from his chest. "Guys.. I don't.. think I'm all..right"
