ASGARDIAN'S DAY - Quest For The Troll King - fragment

Author: Raido Haglaz

The wolves seemed to have halted their hunt, instead Hrodger heard a number of lamenting howls, as the still living wolves wept for the passing of their kin. Within minutes they had reached the woods, and Hrodger fell wheezing and panting to his knees.
''Forgive my bad shape, good man. This is the second ill fated encounter I have had today, and the first more than demanded its toll from me.'' Hrodger said between catching his breath.
''I know.'' the cloaked figure merely said.
Hrodger hadn't paid attention to it before, but the voice was soft and elegant like a womans, not the harsh and direct tone a man would speak in.
''And I'm no man,'' she continued, ''my name is Welinde, and I know what you seek.''
''Witch?'' Hrodger asked hesitantly.
''Seeress.'' she corrected him.
Hrodger nodded in approval and took to his feet.
''Then I must ask you, help me once more, good Welinde. I was sent on a quest by my king, to find the lost ruins of Wolfgard, but now I have been poisoned by some spiteful wretch and I must find a cure if I want to finish what I started.''
