Stories of a Troll: November Shivers
It was late in the year and the air was biting with frost. Here and there it was starting to snow. The lazy Gaian sunset belied a calmness, it glinted off the frost already clinging to the ground. Things had been far from calm lately, the advents of Halloween had shaken the world. The Zurg had mostly left now, some had stayed but they were the few that sought peace with Gaians.
Food became slightly sparse in November so Rune was heading back home with the best that she could find. It was a small bird but it would do. She wrapped her scarf a little tighter around her neck, against the chilly breeze, it was so cold even the fluff covered tips of her ears felt frozen. She shivered a little. She was distracted from her thoughts of how to cook her hard won meal by a very odd noise coming from the bushes... Her ears pricked toward the sound in a flash of turquoise fluff that shook off a few stray snowflakes.
She was filled with curiosity and edged silently toward the bush. It didn't sound like an animal so there was no point in readying her bow, besides she had enough for her for a few days. She leaned over the bush and jumped when it moved. Regaining her composure she pulled aside some of the branches and leaves. She was stunned, met with a pair of big, black, sad eyes... The small bundle cried, It was a strange yet utterly heartbreaking sound and Rune was compelled to sooth the tiny creature. Rune knew most of the Zurg had left and she had heard of their young being left at the orphanage but she had never actually seen one. She very gently stroked the bald green head of the crying alien infant and it reached out a hand. Rune was a soft hearted person and she melted as tiny green fingers eclipsed her own finger.
Picking up the tiny alien she was careful not to hurt it. He or, she presumed he was a he, looked very thin and felt very cold as the blanket he was wrapped in was terribly thin. She would have to take him to the orphanage she knew but that could wait till morning for now it was getting dark and cold. She slung her bird back over her shoulder and scooped up the child huddling him to her chest, sheltering him from the wind that had picked up as the sun faded and was now quite biting.
When Rune finally made it home she had more challenges to face as she cooked her food she wondered what to feed the infant she had now huddled in her arm chair, burbling in an alien language. He had no teeth that she could see but further more could he even eat regular Gaian food? She had to try, she made a small portion as mushy as possible. The Zurg baby did not seem to mind and gummed happily at the spoon. She had no idea what she was doing but managed to change a nappy and get the young one off to sleep. By the time she had eaten and was ready for bed she passed into a deep sleep.

Stories of a Troll: What have I gotten myself into?
The orphanage seemed so busy this morning and Rune wondered if the child she held in her arms was only one of many left alone so very far from home. When she reached the reception she was greeted by a stern looking human woman.
"Excuse me I found this child last night, the news said to bring them here if any were found?" Rune tried to sound assertive but she was a little bewildered. The lady huffed at her and stared and after a long tense moment replied "We are full."
Rune blinked "Excuse me?"
The Woman rolled her eyes "We are full, sorry but you can't leave the child here, we were already stretched but since the aliens left quite a few babies behind we are full!" She seemed tiered and very worn and weary.
Rune was trying desperately not to take offence to such a short response "So what do I do?" Her ears drooped a little.
"Well you managed a night, so how about you keep on looking after him? Here sign this form" The woman thrust a piece of paper at Rune and she took it unthinkingly, she was seriously being press-ganged into adopting a Zurg... The stern woman handed her a leaflet that seemed to be about what Gaian's knew about the Zurg, it was very small and this worried her.
She couldn't do this, it was too much but then the big black eyes blinked awake and a tiny hand grabbed for comfort, she couldn't leave him here... she sighed and signed the forms pausing at the spot where it said name...
"Excuse me miss?" Rune said making the stern lady look up from her paperwork "I have no idea what he is called... what do I put?"
The lady seemed more and more vexed with Runes questions "whatever you want, you signed it he is yours now!"
Rune looked at the small child and then at the paper and then at the child and back at the paper... "What should I call you?" She whispered in exasperation at the small alien who was now busying himself with trying to grab at her ear fluff. He burbled a few words in response and Rune's brain slowly picked out some sounds. "hmmm Zales it is then..."

Stories of a Troll: Moving
The air was warm as the sun beat down on Barton town. Boxes were moving in and out of Runes house. Her old house anyway. It had been so long ago she had won the little cottage in Barton in a game of black jack. Her family had outgrown it however that was for sure.
" Ma Rune... Do we really have to move?" A small blond human boy stood questioningly staring up at her.
"Kai... we are moving to Gambino it isn't the end of the Earth, plus you and Layla can have beds this way instead of sleeping on the floor and your piano will fit better. Also I promise you kids can have a gumball machine..." The Troll patiently explained her reasoning again. This was around the twentieth time the question had come up.
Kai nodded and went back to packing, he knew the small cottage was far too small for the four of them. It had been years since Kai and Layla were adopted but Rune had never forced them to call her mum. Generally that was reserved for special occasions, or for haggling for things they wanted. She got Ma and that was good enough. It seemed to make it more important when she was 'mother-ed' or 'mum-ed' or when they really wanted something 'mummy'.
As the last couple of boxes were loaded up she sighed. It was a smart move she knew, The animated seemed to be far less in the Outer Islands of Gambino and they had enough gold to have a much bigger house and more furniture too. She had been working so hard lately. Also being right on the beach getting fish and fruit would be easier. Kai could learn to surf and Layla could collect shells and play on the beach all day. Then there was Zales he was growing so fast it would be nice for him to have more to sleep on than just a chair.
"Mama... Can snail come too?" Zales tugged on Runes shirt then pointed towards his snail.
"Of course he can, all the pets can come." She smiled as he toddled off
She was going to have a lot more room and planned to have a lot of space in the house for everyone. A huge kitchen, a family space and enough room for each of them to have a little corner to themselves.
She still fully intended to still have an escape tunnel as it made her feel safer and more like she was back in the mountains, but she was just overjoyed to think of all the things she could do with a bigger house. All the space they would have thrilled her. Also the views, the kids would wake up in beds and look out of a window to see gently swaying palm trees and golden sand. The gentle lap of the ocean waves would be their lullaby.
It had not been an easy conversation at first. All three children had rebuffed the idea. Kai had friends and liked going to the bar in Barton to drink milk and act tough. Layla complained she would miss the flowers and sitting at the fountain. Zales didn't want to go because he actually enjoyed fighting the animated and pretending he was a hero. In the end the promise of reasonable access to the water taxi and the new travel system for the older kids and regular 'mother and son saving the world' trips for Zales, combined with the promise of a game system and now a gumball machine too, helped sweeten the deal. Even still the kids were a little apprehensive.
"Ma, can I collect shells?" Layla had appeared with a lamp that had escaped the removal...
"Yes you can, I know you like mermaids and plants I will have a word with some of the Merfolk I know and get you some things for your new room!" Rune said smoothing the girls hair down tenderly. Layla squealed and jumped up and down. The kids did like the sea but Layla adored it and really wanted to be a mermaid. Rune chuckled a little, the kids were easy to persuade if they actually gave her a chance.
"I don't get what's so great about shells..." Kai huffed as he took the lamp off of Layla and placed it in a box.
"I like them! They are pretty!" Layla snapped in defence.
"Mama is gonna let you surf if you are good Kai, so be nice! Shells are pretty aren't they Snail?" Zales piped up walking over cuddling his colourful snail friend, the snail seemed wiggle in agreement with his comment on shells.
"Really?" Kai spun and looked in Rune in shock. "You will really let me surf mum?"
Rune sighed "Yes, but only if you can be responsible!" She knew Kai would want to and had been thinking about it for quite some time and clearly it had been a loud thought as Zales had accidently skimmed it. He didn't mean to but his psychic powers were growing.
It was soon time to move and everything and everyone was loaded into a Barton Bus, Rune was worn out, packing their stuff, explaining to the kids, bribing them to behave, it was hard work. Yes sun sea and sand was just what she needed.
