“In oland, traditions are also respected.
And each of the residents believes in the dream.
And our travelers are no exception.
They are preparing to hear congratulations.
The brothers will all celebrate a wonderful night together,
But no one will hear their songs...”
Hey guys, today is New Year's Eve 🎅🏼, don't you think it's time to get out of your beds 🛏️ and start preparing for the holiday?
Stan👨🏻, like a little child, with a face full of happiness and anticipation, tried in vain to wake us up 📣.
The team, wrinkling their noses with displeasure from the cold and lack of sleep🥱, took turns getting out of their warm beds.
Stan👨🏻, what happened again? Why panic if the whole day is still ahead? - Pancho mumbled, pulling on his boots.
Well, how not to panic if there are so many things ahead? Get up, the six of us can handle it quickly💨.
Stanford👨🏻 commanded as if we were about to go to battle with the most dangerous monster.
Win👨🦳, go to the kitchen to prepare a festive dinner, just yesterday we brought you fat ducks🦆.
Keith🤵🏻, you are coming to help Win👨🦳. Pancho👨 and Bioz🧔🏻♂️ are responsible for comfort, and Rogvold🧔♂️ and I are going to look for a festive tree 🌲. Let everything be like at home 🏠. At least on this day. No monsters or fights ☺️…
“And two of the brothers went into the forest,
To come with a festive tree at the ready.
But when we left the house we saw snow,
Only a person could hide the joy here...”
Stan👨🏻! Look, it's snow❄️! It hasn’t snowed here for 15 years, just continuous rains 🌧️. Now childish joy played on the captain’s face😁. He bent down, picked up some snow and threw it at his friend’s shoulder. The same one, with eyes the size of a minted coin😳, didn’t even flinch.
But it’s true, brother, the last time I saw snow was when I was a young man. Grandfather👴 predicted back then that this wouldn’t happen anymore🙅🏻♂️. Eh, it’s a pity he didn’t live to see this moment😞. But now it’s not about sad things, go ahead and look for a tree 🌲, I hope you took an axe 🪓.
“ Entering the dark forest and seeing only pine trees,
The friends immediately realized: “It won’t be easy…”
And where do we need such colossus🤔? We need a small Christmas tree🤏🏻. Although imagine their faces if we drag a ten-meter pine tree🤭.
They both laughed out loud😄.
Although I know where to go. Follow me👈🏻!
“The captain has ingenuity and intelligence,
It will reach the end, even if it’s flattened into a flat cake.”
Behind those pines there is an edge 🏕️ and on it there are just the right trees for us 🌲.
Rogvold 🧔♂️ pointed his hand towards the place we were interested in and, as always, he turned out to be right😏. Having cut down one of the green beauties, we moved back 🚶🏼♂️.
Not even fifty meters from the house🏠, we already felt the excellent alluring smell♨️ of Wine’s cooking👨🦳. It seems that somewhere between the smells of roast duck🍗 and baked potato🥔, I smelled my favorite cranberry pie🥧. I hope my sense of smell doesn’t let me down😌.
“And the smell was truly excellent,
My hungry stomach pulled me home. ”
Approaching the house🏠, we put up a festive tree🌲 and went inside to find out how the situation was and figure out🧐 how we could decorate this very tree🎗️. Wine's dinner🦳 was already ready and the table was bursting with festive dishes😋.
Having collected everything that could even remotely resemble a Christmas tree decoration📿, we left the house 🏠 to complete another important ritual🎄. Before we had time to finish decorating😟, a bright green light🟢 and noise💥 appeared from the windows of the house. We ran headlong inside🏃, but after a few seconds in front of us we saw only a round, rotating portal🦠, which slammed in front of our noses🤥.
There was silence in the house 😶, the hum disappeared, and not a crumb of the festive dinner was left on the table 😟.
A few seconds later we again heard the already familiar hum 💥, and a bright light hit the windows ✨. The picture was the same: a portal, a bright green light, a deafening roar. And the result was expected: the New Year's tree was eaten as usual 🎄💫.
“Someone decided to ruin our holiday,
But Bioz mentally threatened him. ”
I know what to do 👆🏻.
Bioz said 🧔🏻♂️ and drew some simple pattern on the snow with his finger ♓️.
You need to draw this symbol♓️ around the house six times, then I will read the spell🗣️, and we will create a trap inside which magic will not work🙅🏻. I hope so, he, whoever he is, will not be able to close the portal❌, and we will deal with him⚔️.
Scattering around the house 🏠, each of us fulfilled Bioz’s instructions 🧔🏻♂️ and returned back. He, in turn, was on his knees ♂️ 🧎, closing his eyes and whispering some words 🗣️. Literally a minute later, the symbols began to glow✨ with a weak turquoise light😲, and then completely closed with each other in one glowing line🔮. “It’s ready,” said the shaman, shaking off his pants. - Now all that remains is to wait for his appearance🤨. I hope the trap works, I just need to lure him somehow🍬. Any ideas?
There is one ☝🏻 . - Pancho responded, looking around at his friends.
If he doesn’t like the holiday paraphernalia🎄, then let’s sing one of the Christmas songs🎶.
Perhaps you’re right 👍🏻 and it seems there is one song that everyone knows, even a foreigner ☺️.
“We gathered around and began to sing the tune,
And in the air the birds chirping died down.
Suddenly the wind and blizzard shook the trees, And from the portal a dashing vision appeared to us...”
None of us have ever met the monster that came out of the portal before🙀. He vaguely resembled a man🧍🏼, but very thin and covered with thick green🦠 fur🐗. At the ends of his fingers there were long sharp claws. And he was clearly unfriendly👿.
Baring his sharp teeth👹, the monster rushed in our direction🌪️, moving on all fours like a wild forest wolf🐺. At the same moment, we heard the sound of a blow💥 on the roof of the house🏠, which distracted the monster for a moment💫 and Stan👨🏻 managed to deal him a critical blow with his sword🤺. Bleeding🤒, a color slightly darker than fur, the uninvited jumped back and with a wave of his paw, opening a portal🦠, disappeared from sight💨.
Phew, what a meeting😮💨, just in our style, not a day without adventures😵💫. – Stan👨🏻 sheathed his sword and wiped the sweat from his forehead. - But why didn’t the trap work 🤷♂️?
Did you hear the noise behind the house? Perhaps the symbols were damaged❌ and that’s why the trap didn’t work - Bioz said🧔🏻♂️, pointing to the house👉🏻.
Having walked around 🏠, we saw something that we didn’t expect to see at all😲. It was a real sleigh🛷, the same Santa🎅🏼 who gives gifts🎁 to good children.
Win, holding his head, said: “Damn, what have we done?” With our trap🔮 we deprived Santa Claus himself of the magical power🎅🏼, and he collapsed right on the roof of our house🏠.
Look, there are boot tracks here👣, they lead towards the forest🌲. It seems he's gone and I hope he's okay🙏. - Looking down, Pancho called us over.
Having examined the tracks🔎 and turning back, we saw how, in a faint glow🔅, accompanied by yellow lights✨, the sleigh disappeared into the air💫, and in their place were six gift boxes🎁🎅🏼…
