Please help me it's really important.. is this creature called kunal Trow do shapeshifting??

[@Skrintha]

Nice story! Was "Kunal Trow" earlier perhaps "Knall-troll" or such ?

[@neach-brathaidh-fala]

Yes, "troll" and "trow " do have the same cognate, as the Shetlands were conquered by Scandinavians at some point, and there is some shared mythology.

@@kakashi0429 Then, on yer way!!! Suggestion is to take the plane from Aberdeen to Sumburgh. Reason being, that if Sumburgh is socked in with weather, they go back to Aberdeen - then you can take the ferry. Not sure where she lives, but just ask for her. Good luck. Bring beer.
