(*Warning* This chapter is stupid and silly. Then again what part of this fic isn't? :P You…have…been…warned…….)

~chapter 10~

    Gondar sat on his new throne mumbling to himself.

    "Hmm...three essences...its a good thing that Blaze beat those little twerps.  I'll have to reward him somehow. Soon I'll get the information from that pesky girl on the location of the light orb, then there would be no way Link could stop me!.  IMP!" Gondar shouted. A small imp ran in.

    "Yes, sssire?" the imp hissed.

    "Find me the location of our little friends, then send them a...'welcoming committee'.  I want you to make sure that nothing will go wrong.  If you fail...hmm...lessee..." he got up and paced around as if thinking. "Let's see...if you fail...I"LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND BARBEQUE YOUR ASS AND FEED IT TO A DRONGAR THEN I'LL USE YOUR REMAINS TO DECORATE MY QUARTERS! UNDERSTAND YOU LITTLE WORM?!!!" he boomed, dark energy shooting everywhere.  The imp fainted.

    "Hmm....perhaps that was a bit much....maybe I need to work on my people skills..." he paused for a moment then burst into laughter.

    Meanwhile, in the dungeon...

    Lauren stood terrified in front of the giant troll as it loomed forward. 

    "Uh...p-puh-please don't hurt me..." Lauren cowered.  The troll bent down and let out a tremendous roar.  Lauren paused for a second.

    "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAH!" she shouted waving a hand in front of her face. " WHEW! THAT IS SOME STANKY BREATH! GEEZ YOU NEED A BREATH MINT OR SOMETHIN CAUSE YOU STINK! CAN YOU BREATHE WITHOUT A TIC TAC? YEAH BUT I SURE CANT! WOW! THAT REAKS!" The troll stood full, staring at her for a second, then it frowned as its tears welled up and it began to bawl.

    "Oh, oh geez, I'm so sorry...I didn't know you were the sensitive kind." Lauren said apologetically, hugging the gentle troll.

    In the forest...

    Link and company were just waking up.  The elves were already awake and busy making breakfast. Having not have thought about it before, Link noticed that there were 9 elves.     

    "Ah, are you hungry?" Eórdin said to Link.

    "Yeah, I'm a bit hungry..." replied Link.  He turned to Jared and Justin but noticed they were already gone, eating happily. "I guess that goes for them too..." The group of 12 had finished eating and had taken down camp, ready again to travel.  Soon the group was on their way again.

    "Uh, beg your pardon, Eórdin, but...um...where are we going?" Link asked running up to the horse and speaking up at the elf.

    "Well, we're going to head through here a ways, then go to..." the elf suddenly paused and stopped. He jumped off the horse and gazed ahead.  Link noticed that the other elves had also halted and were peering in the same direction.

    "What are they looking at?" asked a puzzled Jared.

    "I don't see anything..." Link muttered.

    "Elves hearing and sight are much more advanced than normal creatures." Eórdin mumbled, but stayed focused ahead.

    "What do you see?" The elf paused for a second, then tightened his face into a scowl. He drew out his bow and an arrow from his quiver.  The others followed their leader.

    "What?! What is it!?" Jared shouted. A slight rumble was felt.

    "They are coming...." Eórdin whispered.

    Lauren sat on a bench in the dungeon next to the troll who was sobbing uncontrollably with its hands covering its face.

    "Aw...now, there, there. It's ok.  You just cry your widdle troll heart out." she cooed patting its back. "Why don't you tell Lauren what's wrong."

    "*sniff* G-Gondar mean to troll *sniff*.  Gondar say troll stupid *choke* and *sniff* ugly! *sob*" the troll began to cry again.

    "Oh, its ok.  I didn't mean to hurt your feelings before."

    "Troll am in trouble. Gondar yell.  Hurt troll."

    "Why don't you stand up to him?"

    "Stand...up?"

    "Sure, your bigger than he is.  Just march on up to him and say "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!'"

    "Girl right.  Troll do!  Thank girl! Troll say 'Troll am mad as hell and troll am no take not...more!"

    "Oh yeah, you go troll! Get down with your bad self!"

    "Troll got game!" The troll began to break dance in the middle of the floor.

    "That's right! Go troll, go troll, its your birthday, its your birthday!" The troll then rumbled out the door...or rather through it, leaving an escape route for Lauren.

    "Hmm..."

    Gondar sat in his chair.

    "I wonder if that stupid imp got the job right..." he muttered to himself. "I sure hope nothing happens to the little guy..." he mumbled in a sarcastic tone.  He grumbled and slouched down in his chair.  Off to the side, creatures were working to repair the wall broken down earlier.  They were just about finished.

    "Ah, Gondar sir we're done..." one creature began, suddenly there was a loud rumbling and the troll crashed through the wall, breaking it down and squashing the creatures. Grunts and groans of pain could be heard under the rubble.

    "Troll got something to say!" the troll shouted.  Gondar looked at it and stood, limping slightly at first, a hand twitching toward his genital area, but he quickly recovered.  His eye twitched angrily as he walked over to the troll.

    "What is it, you big, dense, ignorant, good-for-nothing hunk of brainless, green, irritable,  smelly, unwanted beast of burden?" Gondar said loathsomely.

    "Kind words get you's no where!" The troll shouted.

    "Aye, ignorance, oy..." Gondar mumbled, massaging his brow. 

    "Troll..! Uh...duh...Troll...um...err...Troll forgot....Oh yeah! It...Um...it Troll's birthday?"

    "Eh..." Gondar sighed. "Did the girl tell you anything?"

  "Duh...girl...uh..."the troll looked confused."Uh...oh! Girl say...to...uh... not...er...stand up and....duh...get mad...uh..."

    "Trolls..." Gondar sighed.

    "Trolls?! Where!?!" the troll shouted, looking about in fear. Gondar buried his hands in his face and groaned as the troll scratched its head.
