Horace's Christmas Adventure

Well, let's just backtrack a little... Exactly what DID happen to Horace the Troll after the pirates freed him from CAPTIVITY? Well, the FIRST thing Horace did was lead them back towards KNOTTWOOD, through great, shadowy, magical Knottwood Forest...
He knows that wood well!

They move at GREAT speed. The two captains are desperate to find the MAGIC PORTAL again - their only hope of returning to their OWN time and place...
They miss the sea...

...while Horace is eager to return to the place he now thinks of as home!
He's running, silly troll!

The miles seem to flash past!
They ARE going at a great pace...

They camp nightly only when all light has gone, and their fare is meager, cheerless and sparse, in keeping with the weather, which has been bleak for WEEKS...
Good thing pirates and trolls are hardy!


However, Christmas Eve Day in Knottwood Forest dawns bright and fair!
What a beautiful day!

After WEEKS of dark, gloomy weather, all are in high spirits!
The air IS wonderful in Knottwood!

...But eventually....
What is he going to DO?

Easier said than done! However, the pirates (and Horace!) are not without some hunting skill...
Oh dear!

Oh *NO!*

Fortunately for the little fellow, Cap'n Peggy suddenly calls their attention to a DISTANT OBJECT...
What a fortunate distraction!


Horace can hardly believe his EYES!
His favourite place!

Ugh!

*Gulp*...

Not THOSE sort of golden nuggets, Captain Hambone!

Memories...


Ooops... Watch out!

The rabbit thankfully scampers away...
Lucky little creature!

Twenty minutes later, in the PARKING LOT of McDonalds...
Now THERE'S a sight you don't often see!

Emily-Amelie just happened to be ARRIVING at that Very Moment!...
Yes.  She DOES eat at McDonalds occasionally...

It doesn't take the pirates long to return to Horace with their, uh, "booty"...
(I hope they PAID!)

Good for you, Emily!
(But just how did they end up at Knottwood CASTLE?)
