The True King of Techno {Trolls World Tour}

Ch.16

With Trollex: 

The Techno Troll was sitting on the edge of the second story of the boat they were on, Poppy at the wheel while Branch was the lookout. 

Coral Blush was sitting beside him, resting his head against Trollex’s side as the former king held the trident. 

They had been sailing downstream for several hours. Trollex and Coral had taken a quick swim a couple of times in order to stay hydrated, but other than that, everything was silent for the most part. Little was said between the group, everyone focusing on getting to the Glitter Dessert before nightfall. 

Trollex sighed, putting the trident down beside him before pulling the young Techno Troll closer. 

Coral had been dozing off, since he was still a child, meaning he still needed to take naps. 

“All good there, Trollex?” asked Poppy, glancing over at the two Techno Trolls. 

Trollex was slightly startled by the question, but managed to recover and turn to the Queen of Pop, smiling. 

“Yeah, I’m all good. Coral is just taking a nap at the moment. The little guy’s parents must be worried sick about him. I still wish your friend would have taken him back to Pop Troll Village at least, then he’d be safer with his parents than with us” admitted Trollex, looking down at the young Techno Troll, Coral having wrapped his arms around him. 

Poppy couldn’t help but ‘aww’ at how cute Coral Blush was. 

“I know what you mean Trollex. But you have to understand that Archer and his friends were just grounded after they ran away from their parents to become a gang of Party Crashers. They don’t want to get in trouble because they missed their curfew” explained Poppy, smiling slightly. 

Trollex sighed and nodded in understanding. 

Everyone was silent for a few minutes before Branch broke it, having spotted the dock up ahead. 

“Hey Poppy, there’s the dock Delta told us about! We need to dock the boat and get off here” said Branch, jumping down from the roof of the boat. 

“Right” said Poppy, nodding in understanding as she steered the boat towards the dock. 

A few minutes later and the group was walking, or floating in Trollex and Coral’s case, up the path.   

Poppy and Branch were carrying their own backpacks while Trollex carried the trident, Coral having woken up and was currently floating beside the former king. 

The young Techno Troll yawned as he stretched his arms up in the air before rubbing his right eye, Trollex having woken him up once the boat had been docked.

“You good there Coral? Still tired huh?" asked Trollex, smiling as he glanced over at the smaller Techno Troll. 

Coral just nodded, too tired to say or do anything else. 

Trollex chuckled lightly before getting an idea. 

He didn’t want Coral to accidentally collapse from exhaustion. 

“Hey Branch, think you can carry the trident for a little while?” asked the former king, turning to the King of Pop. 

Branch smiled and nodded. 

“Sure, I think I can manage” said Branch, shrugging. 

Trollex handed the trident over to Branch before grabbing Coral, carrying the smaller Techno Troll in his arms.
