Diaries The Saga Of Berra — Fragment 2 43
1627
As Berra walked from the city of Nochet
Guiding the wagons of merchant Irillo
Bent the road east past the plateau of shadows
There in the darkness a troll met and mocked her
Challenge was met with the force of her anger
Strove they on glass and on sand and on roadway
Then in the end was the troll the close victor
Berra stood proud though her pride she surrendered
Karrk son of Karg laughed in joy to have met her
Conquering woman who fought in a joy-trance
Gave her of food for the starving of Sartar
Gave her new scars for the risk she had taken
What Really Happened
In the middle of the night as the caravan passed the Shadow Plateau, Berra was woken by Salid, who needed a warrior to do some talking. She met Karrk, Karg’s son, who asked about the Goddess of Teeth and Salt. After a brief bit of thought about exposing Varanis to danger, Berra sent for the Vingan. The group was invited to come to the Shadow Plateau to talk. Berra was against this, but over-ruled, and so they went, and Berra had a ride on a giant beetle, which made her almost giddy with excitement. They met a Mistress Troll in the dark, and another one in a lighter place in the Temple of Xiola Umbar. Berra acted as a bodyguard to Mellia, threatening a troll to stay in place and make sure it was healed.
They caught up with the caravan, with extra food that the Mistress Troll had offered them.
