Trolls and the Hunters

Epilogue

Azalea and Twig both hugged Peppy tightly, as they sat in front of the tree house, crying softly.

The sun was beginning to set, and they still hadn't seen or heard from their parents after they were taken by the hunters. They had begun to assume the worst, and were now grieving the loss of their family.

"Fueesha!" they suddenly heard up in the sky. The three of them looked up, smiling as they saw Uueeka flying above them, Poppy, Branch, and Pansy riding on his back.

     "Mommy! Daddy!" Azalea shouted in joy, jumping out of her grandfather's arms, as she looked up at the sky, the biggest smile on her face.

     Twig giggle, clapping his little hands in excitement, as Peppy stood, holding his grandson in his arms.

     "Poppy..." he whispered, smiling up at the four of them.

Uueeka landed safely on the ground, the three trolls climbing off of the Synathin's back.

"Daddy! Mommy!" Azalea and Twig cried out with joy.

     Peppy placed Twig on the ground, the two young children running over to hug their parents.

"We missed you two so much," Branch said, closing his eyes, as he hugged his kids tight, never wanting to let them go.

"Shiinaoo!" Uueeka shouted, joining in the group hug, almost knocking the family over.

     Pansy laughed at the Synathin, petting his feathers gently.

     "Uueeka and I missed you too," she said, also joining in the hug.

     As they hugged, Pansy suddenly looked up at the sky, smiling with an idea.

"Hey..." she said with a mischievous grin. "The sun's still slightly up. What do you say we take Uueeka for a little joy ride?"
"Yeah!" the two children cheered, running towards Uueeka.

"Nope. No way," Branch objected, crossing his arms as he looked at Pansy.
"Awww..." Azalea and Twig pouted, lowering their heads sadly.

"No way I'm letting you take those kids on that Synathin..." He smiled, looking down at his kids. "Without me."

Azalea and Twig looked up at him smiling wide with excitement.

"Yeah!" they both shouted, climbing onto Uueeka's back with a little help from their father.

     "And this time, I'm driving," Branch said with a quiet laugh, as he climbed on too.

"I'm totally in," Poppy laughed, running over to join them.

Pansy took Peppy's hand, as he kissed her cheek, both of them climbing onto Uueeka together.

"Everyone hold on tight," Branch said. "Foony!"

Uueeka spread his wings, flying up into the air, as he and the six trolls flew off into the sunset.
