Hey Pandas,

We’ll tell you the rest of the story before we head out again to search for Pompoms. Where were we? Oh yeah…

Ella screamed like a barrel full of smashed cats. The root of the tree had wrapped around her foot like a snake and wouldn’t let up its grip. I yelled for help, but there was no one around to help us. Suddenly, I heard a voice from above: “Who’s making so much noise down there?” It was Kamaria looking down from her tower!

Max shouted back “Kamaria, help us! Ella’s foot is caught in some tree roots!” Kamaria’s eyes widened and she shouted back “Hold on! Help is on the way!”

She came down in no time and pulled out a glass bottle with red liquid inside. “This is troll spit. It just has to help!” She sprinkled a few droplets on the roots, which immediately began to sizzle and burn. The roots then retreated back to the tree and my foot was freed.

Ella fell into my arms while Kamaria inspected the tree. She told us that there were evil powers in play and that we should be very careful. After all, it is almost Halloween. Ghosts, spooks, and other creepy creatures tend to show up every year around this time.

Be careful Pandas,

Max and Ella
