As soon as Luke exited the tent, he was surrounded by his group, with Chris demanding, "What was taking you so long?"Luke held up his hands as he said, "I was trying to convince her that we needed to work together."This seemed to mollify them slightly, but then Santiago asked, "What's the deal with the girl with Grace? I didn't bring it up before, but who is she?"All eyes turned to Grace and Tracy, who had been talking quietly in their corner, with the latter still looking upset. Luke would have to speak with Tracy later to inform her of her grandmother's decision. He was certain that she would put up a fight and argue with her grandmother to take it back, but the decision had been made. Once she got over it, he was going to officially add her to his harem.He grimaced. This wasn't something he had imagined when he

The moment they found a secluded spot, Tracy spun around and said, "You."Unfazed and a little bit amused by her behavior, Luke said, "Yes?""Take it back," she demanded."Take back what?" he asked."Don't play with me. I know you agreed to my grandmother's terms about me being a part of your harem. Tell her that you changed your mind," she said."Why would I do that?" he asked as he crossed his arms. "What do I benefit from this?"Tracy gnashed her teeth together, but she remained silent. She obviously didn't think this through when she decided to confront him about the deal he made with her grandmother. Luke, on the other hand, had the foresight to suspect this would happen. When he thought about it, he realized how ironic it was that she was the prophet and not him.He must have let out a small laugh as she demanded, "What's so funny?"Deciding to roll with it, he said, "I was just thinking how you're nothing like your grandmother. She actually used her brains and wits during our n

"We need backup over here," someone suddenly said through the stone.Luke didn't recognize who the speaker was as Cedric demanded, "What's happening over there?""There's a troll," the person said before they were cut off by a scream.Everyone exchanged worried glances as Cedric tried to get in contact with the person again to no avail. Trolls were far bigger and dumber than hobgoblins. However, they were far more durable, and their sense of smell was stronger. That itself wasn't a problem. The problem was that there had been no news of a troll before.The prophets had said they'd only seen mostly goblins and hobgoblins roaming around in town. There had been the occasional orc and ogre, but no mention of trolls. The fact that they had somehow missed a hulking demon was a big red sign that they might have missed more th

"Look at what we have here," said the woman as she watched the humans scatter and panic.They were clearly unprepared to be attacked. It was pathetic and hilarious to watch them run around like insects as they tried to cling to their lives. To be fair, she doubted anyone would be prepared to be faced with pieces of rubble being flung at them. They could only get away with it because of the troll's size and strength. Otherwise, they would have simply stormed up to the survivors.She didn't understand why the demon king had ordered the demons to stay away from this town. Many had thought it was because there was something dangerous about demons being hidden there or that the demon king had a secret weapon stashed away. All they had encountered so far were a bunch of weak humans. There were also the heroes that had shown up, but they had already been dealt with.
