Door
Slammer loafed in Norway as Spoon Licker recovered from his encounter with the
Monster Worm. Within days of their
arrival, spoons started disappearing from kitchens and restaurants. Door were caught by unexplained drafts,
slamming shut with bone-jarring force.
Thump-thump-thump…..tap-tap-tap. Door Slammer pounded on doors, knocked
softly, and every now and then just blew the door back and forth to hear the
hinges squeak and squawk.
Spoon Licker ran happily from house to house, grabbing spoons that were globbed with dough, batter and sauces.
“More
troll trouble?” one cook groaned. “A few
days ago it was sweet breads and cakes, now spoons gone missing?”
Spoon
Licker stopped. They must be talking
about Door Sniffer! He came by this way
and they had to find him before he went back to Iceland and ran into Gryla!
Grabbing
Door Slammer, they headed northeast, across Sweden. They stayed out of sight but snuck through
all the kitchens in the best restaurants and inns. They found his trail and followed him clear
to Finland.
“First
the coffeecake and now the yogurt too!” a sous chef moaned. Door Slammer knew Skyr Gobbler was with Door
Sniffer.
They
consulted trolls in Finland, who promised to send word to Stufur and the other
four Yule Lads to meet them. They were getting
closer. Door Slammer had a pretty good
idea of the source of those amazing smells Door Sniffer was tracking.
If
he was right, they were going to need all their troll power together in one
place!
