Trampling on Ruins

On a trip almost like a pilgrimage she was on her talbuk, Alphonse, headed to the old home of her late lover, Abi'jah. She had gone there often lately to pay her respects and talk to what she thought was the spirit of the deceased. It helped her answer the questions that were raging in her mind and had calmed some nerves that she had as of late. The trip never caused her much pain, the trolls had little reason to attack her. Everything had gone just as normal until she started to enter the southern Ghostlands.

It almost scared her to see so many rangers in what was once a nearly deserted place. She looked around, confused as to why the old home was being occupied, though it shouldn't have confused her. The invasion..right. They seemed to let her pass through easily enough even though her attire was a little more trollish than would be desired. She passed through up high on Alphonse with an unease that could surely be felt among the ranks of men. She got close enough to the plateau that held Abi'jah's home that she could almost see it and what it held almost blew her mind.

Just outside the door she saw a stack of weapons, bows, pikes and the like all ready to go. Laughter, something not heard lately, rang through the house as bunches of rangers acted raucously on break. She clenched the bundle of lilies that she held and stared worriedly at the old home, wondering if they even knew what they were doing. They were defiling someone's home, where they had lived, raised children, made love and made their lives.

Two rangers approached her as she stared on top of Alphonse, taking note of the flower and the...less conservative top.

"Excuse me miss, but can we help you?"

Vivvienne shook her head, blinking her eyes as she entered reality once again. She took in the two rangers with a little disbelief.

"No...No, I was just here to visit with a friend."

"Ma'am, all the trolls here have been evacuated. You're out of luck."

One of the two rangers whispered to his cohort, the other chuckling a little. Vivvienne made a face at the two, feeling somewhat violated that they looked down on her as they did.

"It's probably best that you leave. It's dangerous around here, Ma'am," spoke up the chuckling ranger. He waved her off as if she were a child and she huffed and tugged Alphonse's reins in an about face. She started to ride off, devestated at what she had just witnessed.

The giggling guard only shrugged and waved his hand dismissively at the retreating Vivvienne and muttered a single insult, "Just a damn Troll fucker."
