I'm not sure who out of us even counts as "average." We already stand out for the whole Sgrub thing - not every troll arrives on meteor or helps end the world and the majority of the species.

I mean, in some ways it was pretty badass? We're supposed to be these fighters who can take on anything, and grow up to conquer whatever's in our way because it's just what we do. And if the empress unaided can take over your planet, that proves enough what I've said about humans before.

But it also sucked in a lot of ways, depending on what shit you got saddled with. I can guarantee you not all of us would have made it to adulthood.

But even with all that, I can't say I ever had the life you did or anything approaching it.

I'm still not even sure where I'm going with all this.
