Stumper limped over to inspect his captives. The troll was missing one of his legs and had replaced it with the blackened trunk of a dead tree. He swatted at Luke’s werewolf’s tail with his hand.

“I see we have someone rather interesting among us, Bennett,” he sneered.

“Where?” demanded the larger troll, looking around.

“Here!” barked Stumper, grabbing Little Bennett’s dreadlocks and forcing his head round to face Luke. “He’s a werewolf, you idiot!”

“Ohh!” Realization crossed Little Bennett’s face at a snail’s pace.

“It’s a shame we’re so hungry,” continued Stumper. “We could have kept you as a pet. Bennett likes his pets…”

“They’re my special friends,” grinned Little Bennett, pulling a handful of seeds from the pocket of his filthy trousers. The five nasterns immediately leapt up from their hiding places and ran over to peck hungrily at the food.

“So that’s how they got us to walk over the pit!” said Resus angrily.

“Oh, they’re clever birds,” replied Stumper, poking Resus in the stomach with a chubby finger. “Feed them right and they’ll do just about anything for you. I might even let them have the fatty bits we leave behind…”

Suddenly something caught the smaller troll’s eye. “Well, well, well, what do we have here?” Stumper held out his hand and one of the nasterns dropped the crystal ball into his palm. “This is very pretty indeed.”

Luke struggled against his bonds. “That’s mine!” he shouted.

Stumper grinned. “You’ll get it back,” he said, waving the globe teasingly in Luke’s face. “I’ll make sure we pop it inside your skull before Little Bennett here ties your head to his belt in the morning.” The troll adjusted the angle of his scruffy hat. “Come, Bennett! I have a feeling we’re about to be welcomed home.”

“Really, boss?”

Chuckling to himself, Stumper limped away towards the distant trees. Little Bennett grabbed the ends of the rope, swung Luke, Resus and Cleo over his shoulder, and stomped after him.

“Well,” said Resus to Luke, his upside-down face rubbing against Little Bennett’s rough, scaly back. “You did say we’d make it to the forest by nightfall…”
