2-27. Distraction
The floor of the cell shook with titanic battle as the two ogres clashed with the freed troll. Warbling screams filled the air, suggesting that things were not going well for the jailers. That was as expected; the troll wasn’t just larger, but it had looked far sturdier, as well. Still, even if the winner had been assured – which was no certain thing – Elijah had no intentions of letting it play out.
Not without having his say.
So, wedged in the shaft, he shifted his way up until only his head poked above the floor. When he did, he saw precisely what he had expected. The massive troll had everything it could handle as it fended off the other two creatures, but it was clearly in control of the fight. The ogres were powerful enough to hold their own, though, and it looked like it was going to be a long, drawn-out fight.
Elijah aimed to change that.
So, without further hesitation, he gripped the Staff of Natural Harmony and channeled Ethera into Swarm.
