A large, greenish and slimy hand appeared and soon the troll heaved himself up on the bridge. Lily still found it hard to believe this could all be real and not just a very bizarre dream. Yepp, she was looking at a real, living troll, no doubt about it.<br/>The troll stood tall, Lily doubted a basketball player could've matched him if he hadn't been hunching over. His arms was impossibly long and he dragged his knuckles along the ground. They weren't muscular at all, they were actually rather thin, but Lily just knew they possessed bone-cracking strength. The skin on his chest and his potbelly was sickly pale, like the belly on a fish. The rest of his skin was in a slimy light green color and it actually looked like fishscales.<br/>He had a brutish and ugly face, a broad and long nose it's most outstanding feature, it looked like it had been broken and and healed crookedly many times. He was mostly bald, just a few strands of dark hair was plastered to his skull, clinging to it like some weird seaweed, reaching almost to his waist.<br/>Lily really didn't want to look, but her eyes betrayed her and she found herself staring at the troll's crotch.<br/>Modesty obviously didn't mean much if you lived under a bridge, the troll wasn't even wearing a loincloth. His penis was dangling free in the wind like some obscene bloated maggot, and Lily really wished she hadn't looked.<br/>The troll roared in disappointment as he saw Iobacchus. His breath hit Lily as a wall of hot air, reeking of rotten fish.<br/>"aAaRgH! nOt sTuPiD gOaT aGaIn! mE hAtEs gOaTs aNd mE nOt eVeN aLlOwEd eAtIn' tHiS oNe." The troll was focusing on Io, but Lily saw the moment he first noticed her and the way his eyes zoomed in on her made her sick to her stomach with worry.<br/>"That's right," Io said quickly, waving his arms and exaggerating his bodylanguage, obviously trying to get the troll to focus on him again.<br/>"I am not for eating, and neither is my friend, alright? If you can't have me you can't have anyone I bring as a guest either, so get back under your bridge!"<br/>It didn't seem to be working, not once had the troll looked away from Lily since he spotted her, he hadn't even blinked. He seemed the very essence of singlemindness.<br/>"nUh-uH. mE kNoWs wOt iS fOr eAtIn' aNd nOt fOr eAtIn'. mE cAn eAt tHiS oNe." He took a step towards Lily, licking his lips and eying her hungrily, his hunger very different from the hunger she'd seen in Skuzz's eyes and she almost wished she was back in the redcap's grasp again.
