We don't have to tell you how annoyed the trolls were after they had had their bellies empty for two days straight.

"I want to eat someone. Actually, I want to eat Lad," said Rick.
"I have no doubt I would be delicious," said Lad darkly.
"I think Sal would be juicier," Kat argued.
"Lad doesn't seem to be objecting," Sal pointed out.
"Yer right," said Nog, and grabbed Lad.
"Don't yer push me, I can walk," Lad spat and walked out of the cave.

The others followed quickly on his heels and they came to the place where the trolls had made their fire the previous night.

"We 'ave still some wood left," Cop pointed out. "It should be enough if 'e's a wizzer."
"Wizzers are small," Nerve confirmed. "But they are enough for a good supper."

They found a big, heavy log, placed it upright and tied Lad to it. Rick piled the remaining firewood around him and Sal set it alight.

"He ain't even strugglin'," Nog voiced the general concern.
"Did we roast a troll again?" Kat asked.

To everyone's surprise, Lad laughed coldly. Flames were beginning to lick his toes, but he did not seem to mind.

"Your fire cannot kill me, you fools. I wield the flame of Anor!"
"The fire can't hurt 'im, 'e says," Cop repeated what they all just heard. "Bring more wood!"
"It ain't like he can escape, anyway," Sal noted. "If he won't burn, he'll choke from the smoke."
"And then we eat him," Nerve added.
"That won't help either. I've had enough of this! Your ropes cannot keep me here. I have many allies. I will fly, you fools!"
"Can he fly?" Rick asked, puzzled.

Lad did not reply, but instead he looked into the sky with an intensive look in his eyes. He was starting to change: he didn't really look very much like a troll anymore, he looked smaller, much more cunning and kind of bearded.
"Where are you, my moth, when I need you?" he muttered under his breath, scanning the skies with his bright eyes.

The flames rose higher, and Lad let out a long wail.

"My moth has deserted me, and so have my eagles! I have no friends anymore! And that once they called me Inzilgast the Bird-tamer!"

He wailed, and cried, but his tears were not enough to dose the fire. They watched him grill - quite nicely actually - but then, to their dismay (as much as trolls can be dismayed), his body seemed to shrink even more, and it seemed as the long years of death have finally revealed on it; and as they looked, it shrank and the shrivelled face became rags of burnt skin upon a charred skull. Then grey mist gathered about Lad's body, and rising slowly with the smoke, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed above the bonfire. For a moment it wavered, then came a wind from the east and with a sigh, it disappeared.

The trolls were left without food again.
