Part 2 of 3 of this thing that I was gonna do on Christmas Day, but could only finish the cover art as sketches. STILL, this took a whole month of planning after doing that one drawing of Chris Twinkle, and I'll upload the final part as we get closer to the end of the year.

Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year from  kennekomata


Chapter 2: Homesick

We're about to find out where Topher will go, and who he'll find on this journey to get back down to the Grand Chasm. He walked as far as his legs took him, and collapsed on the cold ground. However, this wasn't the end already, because he woke up to the steamy feel of hot water. "Gasp!" Topher jolted up sitting upright, not knowing where he was. He took a glance to his left and met a Polar Bear, and they let out a friendly gesture. "Sorry about that, friend. You were out cold in the snowy dead end." Topher looked at the polar bear, and his face was well crafted like a cup of tea, cooked to perfection. "Right. Where am I, and What's your name?" asked Topher.

"They call me Roi Des Neiges, prince of the Pure White Empire." The Polar Bear answered, as he opened the door to a harmless little winter wonderland, of a kingdom. "Wow, this place is nothing like home." Topher was in awe at what he witnessed, and proceeded to explain his story, while the two were walking towards the Plaza. "My name is Topher, and I need to get back home myself. For you see, My home is at the bottom of the Grand Chasm." And at that moment, Roi's smile went from right-side up, to upside down. "The Grand Chasm? Now why would anyone want to live there?" asked Roi, to which Topher responded. "I'm from the TwinklePaw Family, and I was thinking maybe-" But before Topher could finish, everyone in the surrounding area heard the name TwinklePaw and stared blankly at Topher. "W-What's going on?" "I must take you to see Father. At once!" Roi Des Neiges didn't dillydally any longer, for he grabbed Topher's hand, and headed for the palace up ahead to confront the King.

While they were walking up the road to the palace, the villagers were whispering to each other, it didn't sound good at all. "Man, what is the deal?" Topher thought, and just like that, they were there. as Roi opened the door, Topher was greeted with a different emotion, glee! The King and his servants were delighted to see that his son found a brand new friend. "Hey! Shake a leg, fellas! The Prince made a new buddy!" One of the Squires proposed. The King's maids hoisted them both up, as they escorted the two right to him, Roi however was still in disbelief at Topher, knowing what ill news was about to be said.

Once the servants have done their bit, The King stepped down from his throne and in front of Roi. "Why hello again, my son. What brings you here, with this new friend of your's?" Roi's midway turned into a frown as he explained the information he got from Topher, and The King's jaw dropped to the floor. "Why... This cannot possibly be correct!" The King felt concerned and bordered on furious. So he turned over to Topher hoping it wasn't true. "Well, unfortunately it is. My name is Topher TwinklePaw, and maybe... JUST maybe, you could explain why the name TwinklePaw is a bad name, here specifically." The King settled down as Roi Des Neiges stepped down for his Father had kneeled forward.

Meanwhile, back at the Grand Chasm

"WHAAAAT?!" A loud cry was heard throughout the community, as Grandmaster TwinklePaw was shocked to hear the news. "It's true, Papa. Topher got swept away by the winds of the edge." Chris explained. "Rats. Perhaps if he ate his Broad Beans instead of leaving only the skins in his stomach, he'd be a lot bigger and stronger, just like his brother." said Grandmaster. And the following night, a Search Team was set out to find them, walking and climbing up the chasm with special boots that Chris wore to go across the deep snow when clearing out the roads with a shovel, and of course Chris lead the Search Team to find Topher, hoping they would in due time.

Back at the Pure White Empire

"I can't believe what I'm hearing!" Topher had been told the truth about his Family, and the community they lead to an extent. "I'm afraid it's true. old man TwinklePaw always was stuck in his family ways." The King concluded. And then Roi stepped back up, going right next to Topher, and ask him: "Do you still wish to return home to the Grand Chasm?" to which Topher thought long and hard for approximately a whole minute, as the servants looked and wondered what he was going to answer with. "I wish to stay here... My Lord." They all gasped, with Topher's switch from returning to his Community, to staying in the Pure White Empire.

What will this mean when Chris finds out that his one and only brother allied with the Pure White Polar Bears, Why do the Pure White Polar Bears not trust the TwinklePaw Family, how will this story end? I say we have a look, into chapter 3.
