Anyway, I gonna break this into 3 parts due to the fact that it was a long trip (hey, it's Paris!) Also, personally I did not take a lot of pictures, so I gonna "stunt" some of the pics from my friends, Marcus & Faizal. Great photos, but due to royalty rights, I wun be able to show all. Check out the links yah?

First stop - the little french town of Lille!

*word of caution - the reader is advised to use his\her imagination in the following paragraphs*

So it began. The Fellowship embarked on the journey on the E'Space, a mythical creature of great speed and stamina. Holding onto its reins, the Fellowship ventured thru mountains and highways, to reach the nightly city of the Supermart elves, Buchan.

Caryli, the dwarf, showed the elven king the Symbol of Brotherhood.

The elves, with their rows and columns of wheats, wine and mp3 players, are well prepared for the harsh winter. The King of the elves invited the Fellowship to the royal store and graciously presented the "bottle of neverending wine" and the "champagne of forever youth" to the Fellowship.



With thankful hearts, the Fellowship bid the King and the elven city farewell. Pressing on thru mountains and highways, the Fellowship finally reached the town of Lille, known for playful fairies lighting up the town walls.



The town human mayor, invited the Fellowship to his abode, Le Barbue, for a sumptuous feast.


Vincegorn - stands proudly in front of the Le Barbue.

Entering the mayor's abode.

The sumptuous meal - Crepes with seafood!

The famous flaming Grand Marnier Crepes!
The sweet Crepes of Le Barbue!

The party stayed for the night in the tavern, Ibis Hotel, thankful that they have not seen the trolls along the way. Morning. The first rays of daylight shone thru the windows. The party gathered up and decided to visit the elven princes of the Honey Inn, Prince Florian and his younger brother Prince Jerome, who know the secret way to the mythical city of Paris, where Mount Eiffel resides.


The elven princes agreed to join the Fellowship after Vincegorn showed them the proof of his royal descendancy.

The princes suggested the Fellowship to visit the Meert, to taste the fabled sugared Chestnut of Prophecy, in order to see into his own destiny.



Vincegorn, upon tasting the Chestnut, saw his destined future as King of all Humans, after he reached the top of Mount Eiffel.


The Meert, fabled candy store of Lille, 130 years old and counting.


Vincegorn, shouting the password to enter the Meert.

The treasures in the Meert, beyond one's wildest dreams. Hansel and Gretel will be pleased.

The device they call, the Phone. Able to alert the various outposts in the event of a troll invasion.


The sweet, Beltises de Cambro, a mistake made by a sugar gnome when he was concocting the ingredients. The elves of Lille loved its taste and embraced it as their own sweet.

Having seen his destiny, Vincegorn pressed on together with the help of the princes and the Fellowship, on the journey to...the mythical city of PARIS and Mount Eiffel!
