The Hunchtroll of Troll Village
Chapter 1: Prologue
I love the Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame and DreamWorks's Trolls so I thought these two would go great together! But I won't be writing the movie scene for scene just to let you know and I won't be deviating far from the Trolls material as well. ;)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is owned by Disney.
As the choir sounded over the bells of the Troll Village, there was a clown jester of the village named Cooper telling four little Troll children a story about the Hunchtroll that lives up in the bell tower of the Troll Village.
"Morning in the Troll Village, the kingdom awaits to the Bells of the Troll Village,
The fishertroll fishes and the bakertroll bakes in the Bells of Troll Village.
To the big bells as loud as the thunder, to the little bells as soft as a psalm. And some say the soul of the village is of the bells of the Troll Village."
"The village? It's beautiful right? So many beautiful, colorful trolls, so many changing moods because you know, they don't get grey and ugly all by themselves?"
(They don't?)
Nah, little guy.
Up there, high, high, high in the dark bell tower lives the mysterious bell ringer.
Who is this creature? (Who?)
What is he? (What?)
How did he come to be there (How?)
Hush and lil ol'Cooper will tell you.
It is a tale, a tale of a mighty lady and an ugly monster.
Dark was the night when our story begun
On the docks of the Troll Village
We then proceed to a dark wintery, snowy night when we look at three Troll Gypsies and a little baby Troll Gypsy carried in the Troll Gypsy mother's hand.
Troll
(Shut it up, will you!)
Troll
(We'll be spotted)
Mother Troll
(Hush, little one.)
"Four frightened Troll Gypsies slid silently under
The docks near the Troll Village."
Man
Four shillings for save passage into Troll Village.
"But a trap had been laid for the Troll Gypsies
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At a figure whose clutches
Were iron as much as the bells.
Man
Master Chef!
"The Bells of the Troll Village"
Chorus
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
"Master Chef had longed to purged the world of vice and sin."
Chorus
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
"And she saw corruption
Ev'rywhere
Except within
Then the female Troll Gypsy and her baby tried to sneak away while her husband and other traveler were taken to prison.
Master Chef
Bring these gypsy vermin to the palace of justice.
Guard
You there, what are you hiding?
Master Chef
Stolen goods, no doubt. Take them from her.
"She ran."
Then the woman ran with the baby in her arms while Master Chef was chasing her on her horse.
Chorus
Dies irae, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day)
Solvet saeclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes)
Teste David cum sibylla (As prophesied by David and the sibyl)
Quantus tremor est futurus (What trembling is to be)
Quando Judex est venturus (When the judge is come)
As the woman tried to find sanctuary, she ran to the Church and yelled"Please! Please give us shelter!"And as the woman to find more shelter she was stopped by Judge Chef whom she had a tug of war with the baby on the steps and Judge Chef booted her on the face and crushed her skull on the steps. And as Judge Chef went to take a look at the baby, she questioned,"A baby?" And as she gasped she said: " A monster!"
And about as Master Chef was about to throw the baby down the well, the Archdeacon stopped him.
"Stop! Cried the Archdeacon"
"This is an unholy demon.
I'm sending it back to hell, where it belongs."
"See there the innocent blood you have spilt
on the steps of the Troll Village."said the Archdeacon.
"I am guiltless. She ran, I pursued."Chef said.
"Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
on the steps of the Troll Village."the Archdeacon cried.
"My conscience is clear" Chef mumbled, not caring a single bit about what she just did.
You can lie to yourself and your minions you can claim that you haven't a qualm but you never can run from nor hide what you've done from the eyes the very eyes of the Troll Village."sang the Archdeacon.
Chorus
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
"And for one time in her life
"Of power and control"
Chorus
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
"Chef felt a clange of fear for her immortal soul"
"What must I do?"Chef asked.
"Care for the child, and raise it as your own"
"What? I'd be settled with this misshapen... troll? Very well. Let him live with you, in your church."Master Chef said.
"Live here? Where?"the Archdeacon said
"Anywhere just so he's kept locked away where no one else can see the bell tower, perhaps and who knows, our Lord works in mysterious ways even this dumb creature may yet prove one day to be of use to me"Master Chef mumbled.
"And Chef gave the child a cruel name
A name that means half-formed, Branch
Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
Sing the bells of the Troll Village
Who is the monster and who is the woman?"
Cooper and Chorus
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells of the Troll Village
