Khione POV

After I had finished talking to the Frost Troll King I had received a system message. I got another when I walked through the city gates and as there was a long road from here to the actual city ( Farms covered the area between the walls and the urban area) I pulled them up to see what they where.

Opening the one I had received first...

Quest Added

King of Trolls

After the recoded death of the Prince a suspiciously identical Troll made of ice has assumed the mantle of Prince. In order for the Prince to return to the side of his father ( next inline to be king) he most complete several tests of his abilities to see if he is yet worthy.

Help the Prince Complete his Trials.

Smiling to my self I opened the second.

Closing these out I stopped and waited for Terror when he arrived I mentioned the the quest and my ownership of the city.

“Terror I received a vision from my Ancestors when I stepped through the gates of this city”

“They have given me this land but I don't have control of it not completely in-till the frost trolls are my loyal subjects”

“but to achieve this goal I need to help you gain control of the trolls”

looking at me he just nodded as if this is what he expected.

I had to ask

“your ok with me taking control of this entire race and city?”

he just nodded again.

“Why”

and he responded by saying.

“don't really wont to have to lead them or take care of them... protecting just you is hard enough”

glaring at him I turned and marched of towards the city. I heard a sigh behind me as he jogged to catch up and walk beside me.

About an three hours later we reached the out skirts of the city which was pretty much just a giant farmers market. Walking through this we entered the crafting district which consisted of your artists and well crafting

classes such as blacksmiths, carpenters, silver smiths, sculptors, (yes there are Troll Sculptors) the city was loud

with trolls clamoring and haggling for better prices on ether side. Looking around I spotted a likely looking general store and walked in.

“Greetings what may I …..”

Trailing off the clerk just stood gaping at us as I unloaded my japtems (Frost troll hides and weapons) looking down at the pile in front of it the troll gulped loudly then pointed at it.

“what is this”

replying

“just some japtems I acquired and would like to sell”

“hhmm I can by this rather familer looking fur... where have I??”

“as for the clubs they are rather worthless”

“ill give you 7 gold and 56 silver pieces for the furs”

Quickly accepting the offered amount and vacating the store we hurried towards the center of the city. Here slopping upwards was a massive fortress made in the same design as the city wall. It was raised on a great stone

base with a single winding path up to its only gate which had a draw bridge lowered over a one hundred foot gap the feel another three hundred start down to a trench of ice spikes surrounding its base.

Walking up to the massive dark metal gate of the fortress I stepped forward and lightly pushed the gate and yet with this little effort it swung open easily. Smiling as I walked into my new home I looked around and found that the palace grounds where both beautiful and yet simple. The walls had house and buildings connected to it and between each of of the buildings instead of the typical alleyway it had ramps up to the walls at the center of this fortress was the keep which was a massive completely flawless tower as if it was made from a single sheet of metal (really think sheet) it also had one gate but before this it had its own portcullis. As I walked closer I saw that it wasn't as flawless as I had thought before standing directly under I could see that it had many arrow-slits in it but they started at the second story of the tower giving its occupants complete access to the palace grounds. After admiring my new Keep I took a closer look at the buildings linked to the walls finding in front of each a trap door on the ground that upon entering revealed a massive storage of materials for each place.

In the blacksmiths storage I found iron, bronze, and even Mithril both bars and ore and even piles of augmenting materials such as coal needed in the making of steel. Each place was very similar to this with the only change being in the materials its related profession. Besides a blacksmith there was a carpenters shop, bakery, Fletcher shop, a weaver, and even a butchers shop (had nothing in storage for the butchers). Then among these where simple houses and a few stables and barracks with guard houses on both sides of the gate. Even these had the tools necessary to their professions filled with weapons and even some armor of all types and quality.

Now the area between the walkway and the keep was completely different as soon as the stone walk stopped the area beyond it was composed of flowers in every size and color blended together as if to remake to Aurora Borealis through the color and placing of flowers. Mixed in with the flowers where small little streams and mini-waterfalls that still seemed to cascade down a massive distance when in reality it was only a few feet. The water came from the springs that formed lily ponds and the water from the steams flowed in and endlessly beautiful cycle. Humming birds flew around and bees sipped from the many flowers. Fruit trees and berry bushes mixed in with this intricate system of life. In a wide variety of blackberry’s, raspberry’s, blueberry’s, and here and there on the ground you could see rich lushes strawberry’s. The trees where apple trees (both green and red) ,cherry trees, pear trees even a few walnut and acorn trees. These last two had a diverse population of squirrels and chipmunks inhabiting them.

Walking carefully through this I enjoyed the surreal beauty surrounding me every once in a while I would pick some of the fruits the apples where both sweet and sour with a varying in the rich juice. The raspberry’s where sweet and subtle. The blackberry’s had a bitter sweet flavor to them. Although I’m sure the blueberry’s would be great to however they lack a lot of the natural sugar of the others. Which reminded me that my mother had always used them in jams and jellies but hadn't actually given them to me fresh before.

After walking through it a couple of times I went to the door of the Keep. Placing both hands on the door I took a deep breath opened the door and stepped into the darkness.

After a few steps down what I assumed was the main hall the entire Keep lit up looking around I watched as Ice Crystals all around me gathered in brilliance as if they where miniature frozen suns clustered on the walls and ceiling. Looking down I I noticed the luscious purple carpet beneath my boots. Looking straight ahead I saw a throne of Ice placed on a icy dais in the shape of a magnificent snow flake. On both sides where stairs leading to a small platform that then had stairs leading up from the platform into the center of the ceiling.

Going up these stairs into the second story of the Keep she found it to be a massive library with a massive circular book case extending all the way around the wall. Then there where massive rows filling the space between with about four feet between the rows. However at the very center their was a strange lift and upon walking over to it she saw that it would rise far up into the keep and at each new floor their was a sort of platform. It looked like a giant X except at the center of this X was a circle with a hole cut through it allowing the lift she was currently on to rise into and dock or lock into each level. Walking to a glowing ice crystal set in a pedestal in the center of the lift and placing my hand over it. Closing my eyes I connected with it then jumped back startled at the voice which had entered my mind. I walked slowly back connected to it for the second time

allowing the voice to ask which floor I would like to visit.

“Um random floor”

when I said this lift rose into the air speeding up the floors blurred together in till it slowed to a stop.

The floor it had stopped at was completely empty except for seven glowing books on ice pedestals arranged in a half circle

On this floor there was no light but that which came from the books. Careful not to fall I walked across of the four pathways and then over to stand in front of the middle pedestal. Looking around again I took extra notice of the way that the books where arranged. Their where four gold books. two on ether side after these where two Deep Blue books and at the center of it all was a book the color of fresh blood. Reaching my hand out I touched the book covering the glowing light with my hand. As soon as the last of its light was gone a message appeared before me.
