Xenia Feast!

"Well, time to go," offered Gospel, the Shadow-Priest. And off he went with the other merry creatures from deep in the inner recesses of the pyramid's dungeon. Dungeon guards they were, and followed merrily along. At first Hundo thought to join them and sing along with the merry troop as they made their way, not unlike those little children following the pied-piper in that fairy-tale. Ah, what a sad tale. But it was not to be fore the gated door was shut straight in his face and he was left to ponder his mean fate. He was a prisoner, after all. Then to his delight he realized that there were no longer any guards stalking about. So, he cautiously looked out from his cage to make sure nobody was lurking around the corner, then pulled out his nifty camo-knife that he always carried with him on his belt-buckle. No luck. This cage was bolted tight with the Hemley-O-Teth seal of approval. Hundo felt defeated, but then another idea struck him at that moment. He reached down deep in the inner recesses of his pickets to retrieve not a key, not even a ring, but a handful of Every-Flaver Beans (!) he had picked up at the Quidditch Match back on Midd-Earth the other day. He had seen Ms. Erica O'Brien there cheering for her home team, 'the Irish Tumblers', hyped up on these beans, as they were just getting ready to play 'the Scottish Whiskey-Her-Awayers', and offered one to Hundo. "Eww", exclaimed Hudno, "Ear-wax!"

"Tee-hee," responded Erica, "Jokes on you." And moved aside to let the next team onto the field. The only was to get rid of that taste he knew. He'd have to go back to the house for a swig of classic Root-Beer from the Xenia tank.. err.. Keg! He went for one of the older model broomsticks as a source of easy transport, when he was suddenly whisked away onto the Quidditch Field by the Scottish team. "Oh, no", thought Hundo, "Here I go being Hundo-riffic again.." But that's not the half of it. Fellow Quidditch players whisked around on all sides, dodging bludgers, and making their ways with the Quaffle to the golden hoops on either end of the field as the announcers yelled the score play-by-play, transferring over to the incomprehensibly fast mumbo-jumbo of the Mexican announcers who spoke very fast until finally shouting "Gooooaall!" for a full half-minute.

Hundo caught sight of the Golden Snitch and positioned himself behind the Hungary Hippo-griff fans in the bleachers to pounce. In another second, he was holding the Snitch, just as Ms. Kandy-Kane came down to join the action-- pure genius! She lived in a Squirrel-Cave near Xenia House and occasionally Hundo would make the journey so as to munch on acorn-bread together. It was a festive season indeed! Suddenly, Anna, Ted, gospel, and Michelle zoomed on to the Quidditch field on brand-new Model-T broomsticks. Needless to say, they were all quite nude. "Yee-haw!" yelled the future Shadow-priest. "Yippee," said Anna, plaintively, as Cass-Cass rode up beside her wearing a witch's hat and carrying a basket of straberries in one hand as she held onto her broom with the other. She leaned over to put one in Anna's mouth, as Ted rode up, flying circles around Hundo and saying, "So, you like Quidditch, ay there, Benjamin?"

"I enjoy it," responded Hundo, very much still in surprise.

"Well, you keep that up there," said Ted and they all whisked away as suddenly as the had come.

Finishing the last bean, Hundo came back to the dark reality of his present dungeon environment and place of captivity, but another idea then struck him as he reached his left hand in his other pocket to finger a small piece of white chalk: "Oh, buddy."
