Deltoran Christmas
Author's note: Got heaps of private messages & a lot more. There's 1 more sleep till Christmas so I'm going to finish this story. I'm going to have to focus more on Swords of Deltora & try to get more reviews. Merry Christmas & a happy new year to my fellow Deltoran fans, Jessica & Obsidian Crystal and I wish you all a safe & happy Christmas.
Bede traveled merrily to a room with velvet golden blinds, a rug as white as snow with a velvet cloth going around the room, dropping slightly and connected by holly. The entire room was used for one purpose for a certain preparation. In the kitchen the Plains, along with a few other members of the other savage tribes, were cooking exquisite dishes fit for a king. The flames were bursting from the pans, sizzling was heard when the meat was slam onto the pan, steams were sluggishly moving to the sealing joining a large cloud, food was being tossed up and down with little effort and vegetables were being boiled mercilessly.
Meanwhile the Ralads, Mere and the Torans were gathering in the hall decorating it with their artistic flair and magic tricks. They covered the 10 long tables with a smooth white fabric with a red and green cloth trimmed by gold. The smaller cloth went from top to bottom. The tables were lit with beautiful candles on an antique candle holder with shimmering silver cutlery for each chair and a small silver platter for self-serving. The ceiling appeared to be snowing & the walls had long and thick strings of red and green bedazzling the room and falling at different lengths to the floor.
When the guest streamed through the doors and sat on their chairs. They mouth-watered just thinking of the feast ahead. The unrest and murmuring stopped as the royal family walked to the furthest table as waiters carrying platters with food hidden beneath. The audience looked greedily at them, waiting for the wonderful food in there to be stuffed in the mouths. Carefully taking a different position, they placed the plates down and revealed the Christmas feast. Lief briefly stood up and bellowed "Let the feast begin" and immediately plunged his knife and fork into a pie.
Jasmine and Lief secretly nibbled on the Ak-Baba meat and were soon addicted by its luxurious and savory flavors of the meat. The meat was served with a strange mildly spicy sauce in an elaborate pot. There were birds, poultries, pigs, vegetables and crispy salads on every table being devoured by a group of hungry Deltorans. The Ralads also revealed to them the name of a well-loved dish that evening of a large chunk of beautiful meat. Lindal fainted when she heard the Ralads who weren't superstitious killed a Orchard Keeper & served him for the dinner. Also there were vine weaver eggs and a vine weaver bird stuffed with chestnuts
Eventually after feasting on the meals, the desert came just at the right time to satisfy the hungry and celebrating crowd. They ate and ate and ate bountiful serves of spiced ice-cream, pudding, fruitcake, orchard keeper fruit charmed so no-one could fall asleep and many other ice-cream and mousses.
The dinner reminded Lief of that neat report that the Librarian wrote in the Annals about that feast with Drumm. Half-heartedly he made a toast to the kings of the past and to Christmas. The walls echoed the cheers of the people as the entertainment began. Ralads in their many used their flutes to play many Carols sweetly. The masked ones entertained with their strange skills of juggling and dancing. The Torans performed wonderful tricks of magic for people to enjoy. Outside fireworks could be seen in all their different shapes and sizes and in dazzling colours.
The party finished with everyone exchanging presents. Anna got a new dress and doll, Jarred received a small jewel and Endon got a new wooden sword. Every one agreed that it was a night to be remembered. The festivities finished at midnight more eventful as the 7 last dragons came to Del singing 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' but accidentally belching fire.It resulted in a few burnedhouses and acrowd called a angry mob running with pitch forks.So to everyone young and small, rich or poor, King Lief wishes you a Merry Deltoran Christmas and a Happy New Year.
