"Of course you didn't!" he snapped furiously, his voice booming in the dome shaped room. In his mind, humans were arrogant rats who needed to be exterminated. They thought the whole world was theirs when in reality it was never theirs to begin with. With a growl, the troll stood up from his throne and pointed a long finger at Ashe, angrily saying "Odin may have had this world created for your kind, human, but it should<strong>never</strong>have been yours!" It was a norse beliefe that Odin had created the world after he and his brothers killed the ancestor of the frost giant, Ymir. The world was created from Ymir. The land was his giant body, carved into a sphere. The ocean was Ymir's blood, icy as ever. The reason the north was cold and the south was hot was because the north was closer to Nifelheim, the realm of Ice and mist and home of the frost giants, while the south was closer to Muspellheim, the realm of eternal fire where Surtur the might fire giant guarded the burning steppes.<br/><br/>Trolls were counsins of the giants, which is why they were so tall. In the old days, giants were notorious for coming into the realm of mankind from jøtunheim and causing trouble, bringing down the wrath of the thundergod who protected the realm of man. In winter, the frost giants came, bringing icy air from Nifelheim until the thunder god drove them back. Ashe was left out of knowledge likely because she wasn't 3,000 years old. With a snort, Rotgnager pulled in her scent. She didn't smell like she was a christian, but she smelled like she had been around them. The troll lifted his hammer and raised it to his shoulder. It weighed hundreds of pounds, yet he wielded it like it was hollow. When he was close enough, his hand drifted over Ashe's midsection, rough skin against feminine soft skin. His skin was thick and rough like a bear's from living in a wild environment. His toenails were actually claws that gripped the ground when he walked. His fingernails were thick and hard, immune to breaking when dealing with rocks and other things in the wild.<br/><br/>As he turned to go back to his throne, a very large scar across his back could be seen across his back, peaking through the long hair he had. Trolls could regenerate, even if their faces were damaged. Humans couldn't damage them well enough nor kill them. This meant that the scar was put there by a divine force. Thor had excellent aim with his hammer and the lightning that his hammer emitted. Because how wild the scar was, it was safe to say that Rotgnager had crossed the thunderer once before and the half-giant lord of storms punished the troll. That was yet another thing that could not be determined by a time. The old gods had since abandoned mankind except for those many who still worshipped them.<br/><br/>Ashe didn't realize that Rotgnager could rip her to pieces quite literally. Then again, this was likely her first encounter with a troll. Being human was a crime in the eyes of these nature beings and the penalty was almost always death.
