Troll: Taken by the Beast (6 page)

“They were all barren,” he said with certainty.

“They were picked at random,” Kara said not understanding how it could be possible. “How could they all be barren?”

“I made them that way child,” the priest said with anger entering his voice. “The ritual I performed after you girls prepared Edda, the ritual made her barren. The ritual is always performed on the girls we offered to keep the beast from breeding.”

Kara sank
to her knees on the stone floor as a million things ran through her head. She stood up and walked out of the temple in a daze. She could hear the priest calling out to her and she did not acknowledge his words she just kept walking toward her home.

Several minutes later s
he could see up ahead her parents walking toward her and she smiled at the sight of them. Her mind started to whirl as she saw her parents drawing their weapons and calling something out and pointing behind her. Kara turned just in time to see a huge lumbering form running up behind her, the form of the troll. She stared paralyzed into its deadly black eyes and everything started moving in slow motion as it leaped toward her. She felt something whoosh by her head and an arrow thudded into the troll’s face, just as its claws were about to sink into her chest the creature was pulled away and slammed into the ground to the right of her.

She
brought her focus past the creature to see the priest holding its leg his burly form crackling with raw energy and gouts of lightning arcing from eye to eye. She felt wind wash over her on both sides as her parents charged by her and her mother stopped just in front of her and started firing arrows at the creature. The priest and her father hammered and chopped the beast relentlessly and her mother turned to her.

“Kara, gather wood,” her mother ordered. “If lightning does not kill the beast
, then we will see if fire does.”

Kara snapped out of her daze and started running to g
ather wood. She took it from the closest home’s woodshed and came back as quickly as her legs would carry her through the snow. By the time she returned other town people had started to emerge from their homes and were gathering wood to burn the beast. Kara approached where her father and the priest were still hitting the creature, she could see that it was healing fast ad she threw the wood down on it. She felt someone push past her and it was the shop keep Oleg, he had a lit torch in one hand and a cask under one arm. She watched him pop the cork out of the cask and start dumping lamp oil on the creature, when the cask was empty he touched the torch to the oil and it went up in a burst of flame.

Her father and the priest stopped their attacks and backed away shielding their faces from the flame and other people began bringing and adding wood to the fire. Kara watched it burn for most of the night and by morning she was still watching the last embers of the fire die down.
The beast had burned to its bones and was showing no signs of healing or coming back. She was cold and shaking and startled when she felt someone touch her, she turned her head and saw Adisa looking back deeply into her eyes.

“You look like you could use a friend,” Adisa said and a gentle look of concern came over her softening her features.

“I could use a friend, I have had a long trek home and an even longer harder week,” Kara responded being coy. “I was just thinking about having a bath.”

Kara walked with Adisa toward the hot springs cave and the two girls laughed and talked but inside she knew that her life had taken a new direction. She would soon be a mother but what would she be a mother to? What else would she have to endure?
