Adventures Of A Goblin

"I hereby name you Theron".

Orun had his right hand placed on the head of the Troll who knelt down before him.

With the vocal naming, came the transference of a mana core that will seal the name, stamping it on his core and making the name validable for use.

"what happens next"

The Troll Chief watches with enthusiasm as Orun named his subordinate, his eyes gaze upon it in anticipation of how the process works.

"now, he goes into a deep slumber".

Just as Orun had finished talking, the Troll subordinate that has just been named, falls to the ground with his eyes still open, but his mind wandered off elsewhere.

"when will he wake up".

"probably about two or three days".

The Troll Chief moved closer to the named troll that was sleeping on the floor.

He looked at him, and observed every part of his body like he was carrying out research purposes on him.

"do you have any idea of what he might become after he wakes up".

Orun gave the Troll leader a look that says; how am I supposed to know what racial path lies under your evolutionary tree?

It is not like he was expecting the Troll Chief to know what a Troll that has been named will evolve into next, but he also was not expecting the Troll Chief to ask him who is an outsider to their specie, filled only with the mythic knowledge he has heard about from others, and not one he has seen with his eyes.

"i don't know. He is a member of your specie, so shouldn't that be your area of expertise".

Orun was indeed in support of the Troll chief's enthusiasm, but he also wished that the Troll Chief would learn self control and not be too overly fired up about it.

"is this how we wait for him till two days clock".

Now, that is the question Orun expected him to ask, not the kind that involves knowledge that is not in his possession.

"while we are busy waiting for him, i should carry on with naming your group".

The Troll Chief already agreed to join Orun, so there was no need for a lengthy conversation or explanation to convince him with.

The test they are about to carry out, is to see if naming will break the sun's effect on them, and even if it does not, Orun will have to stick to making an underground cave in the desert for the Trolls to inhabit.

Regardless of what outcome the result of the naming experience bears, they will still be following Orun.

"you can name my subordinates in the main time. As for me, I will wait to see what becomes of him after the naming. To witness, if truly our curse can be broken after the naming or not".

The Troll Chief does not have any plan on missing out on what becomes of the Troll.

He wants to be among those that will witness an Era that finally puts to rest the lifelong troubles of their specie.

He also has the desire to see how the changes happens in one's body during the naming process.

Every details is what he plans on assimilating inside him to never be forgotten.

If he ends up getting named along with the group, the Troll Chief would miss those events he desperately wants to bear witness to, hence his proposal for Orun to postpone his naming to later.

"i can wait for you all to wake up before asking him to go into the sun for the test".

Orun sees no reason in postponing the Troll Chief's naming for the sake of watching an evolution unfold.

Doing it at a later time for him, is a waste of time as evolution requires one to be in deep sleep mode during the process.

He plans on putting them all to work once they are transported to the desert after their evolution, but that will not be possible if their leader is not available to coordinate them.

"no. I really would like to postpone my naming until after his evolution is done, and the test has been carried out".

The Troll Chief was adamant about staying awake throughout the process, and Orun......gave up trying to convince him.

"fine, I will grant you this desire of yours. Monryck, can you wake up all the Trolls you made unconscious?"

The way Orun said it, made it sound as if Monryck purposely made the Trolls unconscious, when he is in fact the one who gave him the responsibility of going down to the Trolls cave.

"i will need the three of you to follow him and help him calm the Trolls".

If Monryck was to awaken the Trolls all by himself, the Trolls are sure to attack him after what he had done to them the first time, and Monryck in an attempt to defend himself, might end up making them unconscious once again.

With the three Trolls who are closest to their chief following behind Monryck, they will be able to calm the Trolls and stop them from attacking him. Is what he expected, and also why he sent them along with Monryck.

As ordered by Orun, Monryck and the three Trolls moved out of the cave in search of the Trolls, so they can bring them back to Orun for naming.

Only Orun and the Troll Chief remained in the room, with the Troll Chief too busy getting himself fascinated with the troll laid down on the floor.

"that reminds me, what do you Trolls eat to sustain yourselves".

The operations going on in the desert as of current, is really messy with Orun and Wildria struggling to put things together.

They have not had much luck nor gone very far on their endeavors, with much still left to attend to.

One of the major crisis they are currently suffering through in the desert, has to do with the issue of food.

The Minotaurs are safe as they can just pluck from any trees that Orun had erected in the middle of the desert, with fruits growing at the top of the trees.

The Minotaurs, have the opportunity to feed on that for survival, so they are not scrounging for sustainable product for survival.

The Wyverns on the other hand, are not in good condition in terms of food procurement.
