The Game is On...

"Sire.  I know you and 'him' are both collectors, shall we say, of rare objects, but you shouldn't assume that he also is looking for the Token.  'He' may not even be aware of its existence," said Drat.

​"Oh, he knows about it my furry little friend.  It was one of the first things we fought over when he told me his collection was better than mine," growled Druzzy.

"He has always been poking his pointy little, no, I take that back, his pointy BIG nose in my affairs ever since," said the King as he put his hands in front of his nose and acted like it was long and pointy.  "Even your nose is not as big as his," chuckled Druzzy, now in a little better mood.

"Now Drat, how are we going to get that token?"

"The reports indicate that another Troll helped the Wish Dragon Sire.  I suggest that you maybe can smooze him.  He apparently has a close association to one of the Sleeping Sisters," grinned Drat.  "If you can try a little of your knavery..."

"I don't knave" glared Druzzy.  "I educate.  There is a difference you know.  Can I help it if my charm and good naturedness gives me the best of the bargain?"

"So sorry Sire.  If you 'convince' this Troll that your best intentions are for the Wish Dragon and building its trust for Trolls, maybe he can help us get closer to the Token."

"What is the Troll's name?" asked Druzzy as he started pondering his scheme (err... I mean plan).

"It is Hewy, Sire.  He is the master musician that wrote the music for your last rock party.  You know, the one where you showed off the new jewel added to your crown.  The one that the Goob..."

"Don't say his name!" roared Druzzy.

Drat, The Rat, did not move nor complete his comments.  He silently waited for the King of the Trolls to calm down enough to speak.  When he did, it was to tell his minion to find Hewy and bring him to the royal court for a commission.  

​As Drat was leaving, his sensitive ears picked up the Kings mumblings.  "I wonder where did he find that gem bigger than mine and how he crashed my party with it..."
