Revenge of the Billy Goats Gruff
By Shaun Scott
“Old witch throw your bones so that I may find my troll brother.”
“Why would you search for great evil?”
“See my eyes for I can’t see! The Gruff brothers gouged my eyes out.”
“Revenge is what you seek Troll?”
“Yes witch, Revenge. The Gruff knocked me down in the river, blind and almost drowned I floated to this land!”
“Then man saw your hideous form and that’s where I found you tied up to a tree shaved and beaten.”
“Only my brothers from the land Icor can help me.”
“Was it justice? You tried to eat the Gruff.”
“A bigger power than me was involved. I was hired to guard the bridge. Not let the Gruff enter Lagorda.”
“Why?”
“The King of Lagorda the elf majesty did not want the Gruff to enter his land.”
“Why?”
“Why? The Gruff would kill in their way to take over the land of plentifulness, Lagorda.”
“The Elf majesty knew that the Gruff would kill him as they tried to kill me, now witch where is my brothers?”
“Dear Troll brethren you cannot find them on your own let call our brethren from the underworld Kellas the demon man will guide you to Icor.”
“Yes, conjure him witch!”
“Come back troll and make me babies- for that is your price.”
