Chapter 8: Grumbles the Elf Finds love
Grumbles the elf had always been known for his scowl and grumpy demeanour but deep down he longed for something more. He dreamed of finding someone to share his life with, someone who could see past his gruff exterior and appreciate him for who he truly was.
One day, while out on patrol in the forest, Grumbles stumbled upon Jolly, a beautiful female elf who was unlike anyone he had ever met before. She was bubbly and cheerful, with a smile that could light up the darkest of rooms. Despite her bright personality, she seemed to understand Grumbles’ grumpiness and didn’t take it personally. In fact, she found it endearing.
As they spent more time together, Grumbles found himself being open with Jolly in ways he never thought possible. She listened to his stories of adventure and battle, and even laughed at his jokes (which he rarely told). Before he knew it, he was head over heels in love with her.
One night, while out on patrol, Grumbles and Jolly were ambushed by a group of bandits. As they fought off the attackers, Grumbles realized that he had been shot with an arrow. Bleeding profusely, he collapsed into Jolly’s arms, knowing that this might be the end of him.
Jolly held him close, tears streaming down her face as she whispered words of love and comfort into his ear. And as the darkness closed in around him, Grumbles knew that he had finally found what he had been searching for all along - true love.
Jolly’s cry of anguish was heard by Santa Jack all the way back in his bedroom, Satan knew one of his elves was in trouble, so he ran to the barn and jumped into his sleigh, and he raced away heading over the trees until he saw Jolly and Grumbles was laying on the ground injured Jolly looked up and saw Santa Jack with tears in her eyes she asked him to use his magic to heal Grumbles and she told him of her love for Grumbles.
Santa Jack looked down at Grumbles and held his hands out they started to glow, and his healing magic pushed its way into Grumbles, and he began slowly healing after a few minutes Grumbles open his and saw Santa Jack standing over him.
Santa asked Grumbles and Jolly what happened and who did it when they both finished their story. Santa Jack knew who it was immediately, and he called out to Krampus who he knew dealt with naughty children and that is exactly who the bandits were.
