A First Christmas, Friends and Festivity

Here is another sample from the second book.

"Do you know why it was so dark down by the bridge?" Elannah asked Rodger, remembering being surprised as they had flown in.


"Well." Rodger said, "The Twelve Toed Ugly Troll never did celebrate Christmas."

"Never celebrated Christmas!?" Sam exclaimed incredulously, a look of such bewilderment on his face. All thoughts of missing presents were forgotten. "That's not possible! What about his friends and family?"

"The Bridge Troll never knew his parents and until the night of the fireworks he has never had anyone to call a friend."

"This is not good." Elannah stated thoughtfully. She mused for a second and then announced, "Let's throw him a Christmas party. But not just any Christmas party, but rather the best party there has ever been. We will make up for all the missing Christmases in this one evening."

She looked at the other two with such a look of focussed determination that Rodger the Badger giggled and Sam clapped his hands with excited anticipation.

"Shall we do this together then?" Elannah challenged them.

"Absolutely!" They both cheered.
