“Our friend, the black cat, has returned,

He brought so many gnomes, it is absurd,

They are cute and cuddly, so I don’t mind,

Their leader named Hobnick is very kind,

I hope they make us some ale,

We will run out soon. They cannot fail!“

CHAPTER 21

After a good night’s rest in his luxurious and undeserved chambers, at least he felt it was undeserved, Varnoth called a meeting in the command chamber on the third floor of Darthill Castle. The shadow panther instructed William to request the presence of Henegarron, Dormatos, Hobnick, Cody, and William. There was confusion as to the meaning behind this impromptu meeting with those particular people. The command room was dusty with the scent of mildew. The castle folk had not reached this room on the third floor as of yet for cleaning.

Varnoth was the first to arrive in the command chamber. There were many rustic suits of armor around the room, and magnificent red tapestries covered the walls. There was a large stuffed timber bear in the corner. A giant wrought iron chandelier filled with smoldering candles hung from the high ceiling. There were covered paintings in the spaces the tapestries did not cover. A massive stone table was the centerpiece of the command chamber. It was shaped in a large rectangle. Ten mahogany chairs were surrounding the table.

Varnoth went to the chair at the end of the table and stood with his hands behind his back as he stared at the doorway. He heard several footsteps headed toward the chamber. William Marth was the first to enter, followed by Cody, Henegarron, Dormatos, and Hobnick.

“Thank you for meeting with me this morning. You are no doubt very busy,” said Varnoth.

“No problem, we are happy to talk to you anytime,” replied Henegarron with a nod.

“Hey, Mr. Varnoth, it is great to see you once again. Things are so awesome here, and I thank you for allowing me to be a part of this community,” said Cody.

“I will speak for myself and Dormatos. Our group is indebted to your kindness. Everyone here has been very welcoming and kind,” said Hobnick.

“Thank you for your kind words. I feel they should be directed to Chancellor Marsh. He has done an admirable job leading the community. Henegarron and Cody are a large component of this successful community as well,” replied Varnoth.

William, Cody, and Henegarron gave a thank you nod and continued to listen to what Varnoth had to say.

“You folks are going to continue to play a large role as we move forward; thus, you sit here at this table,” Varnoth said.

“William is my right hand as chancellor. Henegarron, you are our master at arms and will oversee our defenses, whether it be castle structures or soldiers. Cody will oversee hunting and soon to be fishing. You will also assist Henegarron in ranged weaponry. Hobnick will be an ambassador for our new gnome community members. Dormatos, your healing skills will put you in charge of health care for our people.”

“I would be honored to defend Darthill.
