An ocean of leaves restlessly moved in unison at the approaching trolls armed with axes and torches. These mischievous creatures were never welcome in the forest of Bahn.
Gladin, the dwarf lord that lead the trolls, commanded to burn everything to the ground. But the forest was not defenseless. In an unforeseen signal, it rained spikes that bore through their thick skins and the fruits spitted saps that extinguished their torches.
The surviving trolls ran amok to the surrounding plains.Gladin looked back and saw the silhouette of Charla, the mistress of the forest. Her diamond eyes blinked at him once then he instantly expired. The roots pulled his remains and those trolls that fell on the ground into the earth.
Charla retired in her cocoon, satisfied with the result of the battle. She laid dormant until the next assault.

Gem,
Lovely lady indeed, but any dwarf should be careful in her presence.

Pareng Jhong,
The picture was really cool. Thanks to Gem. About the names, well, you just have to stretch your imagination. I use names of real life people and make them characters in my story.
