Trollex and Roxie's Story

Chapter 8: Trollex

I have never felt this before. I felt the wind blowing my hair back and the air through my gills. It was an amazing feeling. 

We had been driving for around an hour. I looked over at Roxie, who was looking quite confused. "Um, Roxie..." I said.

She turned her head quickly towards me. "Yes?" She asked. 

I was confused by her sudden turn and her sudden change in expression. "Do you know where we're going?" I asked.

She looked at the steering wheel and rubbed her hands up and down it. "No..." She said, her gills dropping down. I was able to hear the guilt in her voice.

"Why do you say it like that? It's fine if you don't know where we're going." I told her, offering a sweet smile. 

She smiled back. "Do you have any clue?" She asked. I couldn't say no. I thought for a second. Then I noticed something. Or should I say, someone.

I saw a gold glitter covered troll with wings flying almost right above us. They had pastel blue hair and was holding a golden recorder. "Yes." I said, pointing to the troll. Roxie pushed harder on the petal and we went faster, but this time knowing where we were going.

We followed the golden glitter troll for a while. I could see Roxie smiling and giggling. Hearing here giggle made me laugh too. 

Then she suddenly stopped. "I think this is it." She said, noticing the troll flying though the clouds. I nodded and the two of us got out of the Dune Huggy.

"I don't think we can get that high. I don't think we can fly that high." I said. 

"Yeah..." Roxie said. Then she looked to her left and noticed something. "Hey, I think that might be an elevator." She pointed to a pastel pod like elevator. 

We flew over to it and clicked a button. The door shut and we went up through the clouds.

When we got above the clouds, the two of us were in awe. 

Symphonyville was very organized and very light colored. There were white buildings that had instruments cut out with a golden trim to them. 

In the center of the village, there was a giant metronome. It swayed back and forth, counting to a basic rhythm.

I closed my eyes and listened to the metronome go back and forth, but then I noticed a different sound. This actually sounded like music though, not just a tempo.

I turned around to see around seventy gold glitter trolls with cotton candy colored hair. Some were playing string instruments and some were playing wood wind. But one of them seemed different from the others.

This troll had pastel yellow hair, while the rest had pastel pink, blue, or green hair. He also wore a black robe with golden lace and had a baton in his hand. He was waving it back and forth and up and down in a u shape over and over, but pointing towards different trolls.

This was in interesting technique in my opinion, given the fact that not many other techno trolls were allowed to play music. Roxie and I were the only ones that made music. 

Roxie pointed to the one wearing a robe. "That's Trollzart. He's the ruler of the classical tribe, he's the one we need to warn." She said.

"Okay, let's go then." I said, starting to go towards them, but then I felt a tug at my fins. 

"We can't just go. They'll get very upset if we interrupted their performance." Roxie whispered to me as she pulled me behind the metronome.

"Aw come on, they won't even see us." I whispered back.
