#anywhere

Frank's wandering the woods! But is he tearing them up?

No. Just walking.

Sky wolves fly about on the hunt, the chimera enjoying the spring lushness

and they nod to him, for they respect the giants

He seems withdrawn and less communicative than usual.

Which might be why its surprising to hear someone tell him 'shhh' gently

He might not even hear it.

Then a large hand motions him to join over... and points up

The appearance of a hand gets his attention. He looks up?over.

Klump, the Glome, is pointing towards the moon.. a crescent archer of silver, and a star so bright almost as to seem to be a maiden forestalling him from the hunt tonight

And he says in a low rumble "If we are lucky, there will be a gift"

Frank says nothing but makes an acknowledging sound.

The big rock man gestures to his side, inviting Frank to sit

"Thank you, Klump, but I would prefer walking solitude."

"As you wish.. I quite understand, sometimes we protect the world best by giving it distance."

"Mm. Good evening." And he continues he walk.

And that's when the moon and The star lob something.. .something is falling to the earth, right out of the dreaming! He can see it in the distance going to land deeper in the woods

He trudges deeper after it. May as well.

And sure enough he finds something glowing , lodged in the trees...

he also hears a voice "Hurry, we have little time, these are Gwydion lands."

He makes his way to the glowing thing.

Only to see a sluagh that he does NOT recognize "Ah shit" The sluagh says realizing he's spotted half way up the tree "Boss, we got a Liam... I can feel the woogieness on..shit... he can't hear me"

the 'he' turns out to be a sidhe, who cannot hear him. The Balor could not be any more balor if he tried. twisted mustache over laid on a goatee, and a patch of snake scales over his forehead that glistens like a gemstone inserted

That and the farking symbol on his shield

"Leave." Frank rumbles and it is sure everyone in the glade can hear him. "Now."

The Sluagh proves to be true to his kith, and drops out of the treee like rotted fruit and scrambles back behind the sidhe.

The sidhe sneers, "No, sir. It is you who shall.." He raises his sword "LEAVE NOW" And glamour engulfs Frank

Frank walks forward, breaking a sapling off as he approaches. He swings when he is in range.

"Are you fighting me with a rootless tree? You take your blazon too seriously. Liam!" The Sidhe grunts though as the blow nearly tears the shield from his hand

Balor may have picked the wrong troll tonight; Frank is angry still, has been bottling it up, and the Serpent makes a very handy target.

The sword cuts forward "YOu're strong, troll, but I have armor, you don't" And indeed, the blade cuts into his flesh to prove the point

Frank bleeds. But he's als oa troll, they can take more punishment than most, and this Sidhe just extended
