The Ambush Short Story

Part One: The Ambush The reindeer lived happily ever after. Well, not really. It all began when the reindeer were having a great feast in the Reindeer Kingdom, celebrating King Rudolph's birthday. The Reindeer Kingdom was one of the many kingdoms, the Christmas, Gingerbread, and Grandmother Kingdom. It was a jolly night; the kingdom was the highlight of the night. "Nothing can go wrong," all the reindeer had said. "Nothing at all." As the night carried on, all the reindeer were getting more and more drunk from the drinks that were served. Soon, everyone at the Kingdom of Reindeer was in a deep slumber. The reindeer fell asleep so suddenly that no one noticed the army of grandmas that stood in the shadows. The grandmothers

"Let's take their most valuable item and burn it to smithereens." The army charged in, bloodthirsty. The reindeer were asleep, waking up only to see a woman chop them in half with a weapon that the reindeer stashed in the armory. None of the reindeer fought back, the effects did not wear off.

Snow covered much of the land, and there were many elves dressed in their traditional suits. Statues of Saint Nicholas were everywhere, at the elves' houses, at the center of the kingdom, etc. There were tiny, yellow workshops scattered everywhere. At the far end of the kingdom, a gargantuan palace loomed over the whole kingdom. The palace was created, surprisingly, of toys. "Santa has to be in the palace." Cupid said. "Let's go then!" Blitzen replied. The reindeer sprinted to the palace, entered through the doorway, and found Santa Claus sitting near a fireplace, reading a book. "Hello, Santa!" They all said in
