Trollex

Where You Are (Part 2)

Current led Trollex to the edge of the reef.

Trollex starts moving towards it, but is stopped by Coral.

"Dad! I was only looking at the edge. I wasn't gonna go beyond it."

Coral then says, "There's something I want to show you."

***

Coral swam with Trollex up an underwater mountain, "I wanted to bring you here the moment you opened your eyes."

They came to the top and saw a tower of stones, "This is a sacred place. The place of kings. There will come a time when you will stand on this peak and place a stone on this mountain. Like I did. Like your grandfather did. And his father and every king there has ever been. And on that day, when you place your stone, you will raise this whole reef higher. You are the future of our people, Trollex. They are not out there. They are right here. It's time to be who they need you to be."

Trollex stopped sneaking away to the edge and started to listen to what his parents tried to teach him.

He even stopped joining his grandfather for ocean dancing.

Techno Trolls: ♫ We make our nets from the leaves(We weave our nets from the leaves)

The berries are very sweet (And we'll taste the sweet inside)

We use the leaves for what we weave(We sing these songs in our choir)

The berries are a real treat (beat inside) ♫

Coral: ♫ The town believes in us (Ha! That's right!)

The town believes (Ha!)

The reef gives us what we need

And no one leaves ♫

Trollex: ♫ So here I'll stay

My home, my people beside me

And when I think of tomorrow

Techno Trolls: ♫ There we are ♫

Trollex: ♫ I'll lead the way

I'll have my people to guide me

We'll build our future together ♫

Techno Trolls: ♫ Where we are ♫

Trollex: ♫ 'Cause every path leads you back to ♫

Techno Trolls: ♫ Where you are ♫

Trollex: ♫ You can find happiness right ♫

All: ♫ Where you are

Where you are ♫

It seemed like Trollex was finally gonna learn to become the king his people needed.

And he wasn't alone; He had his best friend, TBDB (Techno Beat Drop Button), his parents, and his wise, yet eccentric grandfather to help him along the way.

But, he still never got over that urge to go to the edge of the reef.
