She fixed Salman with a stare.
"I have learnt to make the very finest foods. The finest in all the land most certainly. There is no finer cook than myself and I am a master chocolatier! It was I that taught the Belgians before those wretched swines stole my recipe!"
The sound of an alarm suddenly went off and broke Old GypsyGoth from her deliberations.
"Ah time for my special ingredients! You stay right there and little old GypsyGoth will go and get them. This will be the finest chocolate you ever tasted!"

So off she went out of the back door and Saph immediately pulled Salman aside and whispered in his ear.
"I do not trust this lady, Salmmy."
"But she's just an old lady Saph! And she has chocolate! I love chocolate. A kind man in a white van once offered me chocolate and all he wanted me to do was just come inside and have a look at his prawn collection but then a police man came by and he just upped and drove away! Well not this time Saph I want chocolate!"
Saph scorned.
"I'm pretty sure it wasn't prawns but we will discuss that later. Right now you have to trust me on this. We have to make her eat the chocolate herself. I think it's poisonous!"
"How we going to do that?" Salman said. "If it's poisonous she won't eat it!"
"I have an idea. I think this woman's greatest flaw is her pride. We must appeal to her pride. I will pretend I have eaten some of her chocolate while you distract her with tales of how the Belgians stole her prize recipe"
"Then what?" Salman said eagerly.
"I will tell her that her chocolate isn't very good. I will tell her the chocolate on your coat is better!"
With a flash Saph tore a chunk off of Salmans coat and threw it in the corner of the room out of the way.
"Noooooooooo" Salman cried. "My coat Saph"
"Salman you have to trust me. I will then get her to try some and then, if she is dull witted as she seems, we get her to compare it with her own and then we shall know if her chocolate is poisonous."

With a crash the old lady came back in with what looked like a few little petals in her old wrangled fingers. She put them into a pot that was stewing on the stove and stirred it fiercely. It disturbed the air in the room and all of a sudden the aroma of warm sweet chocolate filled their nostrils. Salman began to look Weary.
Stay with it Salmmy, Saph thought in her head. This will indeed be a test I think....

as Salman was looking a bit peaky, could he be coming down with the Norovirus that was so common at this time of year she wondered, will have to google it when I get home Saph thought to herself just to be sure I don't want to spend Christmas with my head down the toilet, meanwhile the smell of chocolate filled the room, Gypsygoth stirred and stirred, Salman wobbled on his spindly legs and started to hallucinate that Rhianna was stirring the chocolate, Saph decided to...

..open her Christmas gifts early which flaunted traditions and would bring down the wrath of the Great Priestess, Sooty..everything in all their lives was about to change in a way they could never have predicted....

[Kyle]

......suddenly the vision of the Priestess Sooty and the magnificent presents elapsed from her realm of thought and jaunted back into the here and now just in time to grab Salman as he fell. His arms collapsing helplessly by his side. GypsyGoth suddenly started, backing against the nearest wall and dropping the ladle which made a large clang on the stone floor.
"Wh...wh...what..what's wrong with him?" she cackled extending an elongated finger at the poor boy who had began to lose colour in his cheeks.
"I think he has the Norovirus." Saph suddenly clicked on. This was a trick her and Salman used to play on Mother Lee to save them from having to eat her stale broth.
"Is it dangerous?" GypsyGoth asked horrified at the turn of events.
"Yes it is, for children......and the elderly" Saph raised her eyes at the old woman as she spoke.
With that she shrieked and with amazing dexterity for an old woman she fled from the house and out of sight. Salman gave a cheeky raise of one eye and saw Saph with a smile as wide as a Cheshire Cat.
"I would never have thought about that Salmmy. We make a good team you and I"
"Yes you do" Proclaimed Marc as he and FaiReeece(: appeared from the safety of the other room. "Salman here has a great deal more panache than I would expect from one so young. Maybe it is actually you who is the chosen one."
"Let's not speak of that now" cried FaiReece. "By the strand of my beautiful hair we must leave this place swiftly and onto our final mission before we truly accept you"
Salman picked himself up, smiling cheekily at the thought of being appraised ahead of Saph.
"Come then" he beckoned. "Show me where the third test lies. I'll show you how it's done Saph!"

Ah crap we have an overlap.

I aim to get as many people in as possible without introducing new characters every second sentence and turning it into The Lord of the Rings. .

Everybody should have a part.

So Waterhog recited a poem and the horses took at at full tilt, they knew if they dallied he wouldn't stop, they crashed through the forest at high speed exiting at the Asda Walmart carpark where they nearly ran over Arista pushing a trolley full of cut price Pringles, his cries of Utter Bliss were carried away by the wind, Salman hung on to Saph as they were tossed and turned this way and that as the horses reentered the forest, I think we might be going round in circles thought Saph and just then.....


...ahead of them, they saw what looked like a forest goblin, they had heard many stories about the magical potions that the goblins made to bring good fortune to people and the wisdom of the King of the Goblins, whose name was Cuda, a legend in these parts....
