Derrick was battling with all his might to stay conscious, as he knew that not eating the troll's meat would be his end.
It was the first time since leaving the cave that he had made such a huge mistake.
"This... This isn't what I thought would happen, haha... Fuck..."

"Come on human! I thought you were strong! What happened to that resolve of yours?!"
"The lizard's right! Aren't you the one who killed us?!"
