Interviews fantastic 2: The hunter Sam, the journalist, draws on the skirts of his jacket to give to the capacity. However, it does not lead off. Far its previous interview she promised him the courtesy, kindness, and why not, delicacy, and there he was expecting the worst.
arrived with twenty minutes late, the man moved. It is not very large. It would almost seem to be civilized. Appearances can be deceiving. This man that Sam is about to interview is a famous hunter troll.
He tends to the reporter a hand with great finesse. When he grabs it, Sam immediately printing a steamroller crushing his bones.
He withdrew his hand aching and his companion then apologized with an embarrassed smile.
"-Hem * Ouch * Hunter -if you let me call you-and obviously ..."
The man shakes his head when a knowing look:
"" I do not know how you would do otherwise.
-Well done Hunter, you are exercising a job particularly difficult these days, how did you come up your vocation ?
-The most natural way and without me really take care. I saw around me a lot of people being attacked by the infamous monster and constantly renewed. And then one day, I intervened. I have not really thought about it, I just tackled this big beast. I immediately knew I had it in my blood.
Well, between you and me, the first time it was not pretty-pretty ... I found it difficult to estimate the strength he had to deploy against these corny. I just try everything: from "naked with a club" to "shoot big bullets with a gun point-blank." And then, with Over time, I finally found the balance that was needed by me and a small team of intrepid with which I always chasing the troll, where he is hiding.
-Some people do not wear especially in their heart.
"I think you're referring to what we call" right-thinking "these people who reproached Desproges be impertinent to praise his life after death. People for whom I must say, not much esteem. "
Obviously dissatisfied with the response, the reporter decides to push a little further.
"-You would ... Say, accused of using the same techniques as the trolls on some occasions.
-Um, yes, I see what you are referring to. Events unfortunate. And we have probably our fault too, should not we look the other way, to hunt the troll effectively, we must absorb its customs, its habits. Sometimes, without noticing it, it reappears in public . And there may be collateral damage, but we always try to limit the damage.
But how do you manage to find the troll?
-It depends. There are several classes trolls.
There are of particularly stupid: those that occur spontaneously, giving you up arms to vanquish. In general, he gets angry, he rages, and then it falls within a few sharp strokes. There
false troll, the troll's admirer: it is certainly easier to control. It is poorly equipped. Just to put a good spanking, and usually it does not return.
More dangerous, there's the old troll hunter. Whoever is moved to the other side of the fence. That he must be careful, you know, no one is immune from sudden mutation. They are prepared for any eventuality, and are detrimental to our profession.
There's the old troll: one on which many hunters have broken teeth. So be clever and attack when he least expects it, watch him until he makes a mistake, and then there, it sinks into the breach. I will not deny that for this kind of a troll, you must be ready to tackle even the moms.
There's funny troll, troll or debonair. I am thinking particularly
Ralph Pootawn . This is one we want to let him live his life, which does not really hurt people or do them no harm, which happily frolics. We enlisted some to fight alongside us. This is certainly the troll I prefer: one that makes you want to believe in a better troll.
Obviously, the more one is likely to join forces, the easier it is to attack a troll. If he does not call enough boost, the fight is folded in less than a day.
And ... Have you ever had to fight harder than you?
"I do not want to brag, but no, not really. There were fierce battles, of course, and some forced me to take me twice, to get my strength, to redouble their ingenuity, but overall, I see no downside.
-What is the worst troll that you have faced?
-Ha ... It is true that I did not apologize for twenty minutes late. You have to think that I had relegated my citizenship at the door. "
Sat suddenly feels he has a real exclusivity. He can not remember the question that every professional journalist should permanently forget : The question which remains pending.
"Will you say ... ?
Yes, you'll be the first to tell the unutterable.
Look, troll hunters are often forced to earn their crust, to fall back on monsters public, or to intervene when a lady-or more often a nobody-is threatened. It is rare in a career destroyer to come across a troll who is dedicated to you. I met mine today! A good troll big, hairy, mean, fiercely. "
journalist then considers the Hunter with a fresh eye. One can see in his eyes move which would resemble the most with respect.
"" But you look perfectly calm. I never would have thought that you return from such an exchange!
-Ho, I delivered a longer battle, but none matched the intensity that happened today. For the first time I felt very different motivations. It is evident that any troll tends to turn against her attacker, but when it takes you directly to the target, you do not know quite how to react.
-Finally, how you are you out?
"I'm not proud, but I think I valiantly fought against his assaults. As he was exhausted, the troll runs out often insults and idle threats, it is something to be nurtured, I called my secret weapon: the-cons call the troll. Because there is often a human individual to whom the troll was attached. It is a major asset when it is able to find who it is.
I was merciless, and the beast is dead. I do not exclude a flashback, but I took the time to protect myself. If it revives, there will be penalties worse than the grave!
-To conclude this interview, what would you say if I told you ... HO MON GOD BEHIND YOU, A TROLL! "
The hunter, without departing from its fearless look, gets up and walks away.
Then, despite himself, the reporter can help thinking: " still ... What types of these hunters troll! "
