Further Adventures of Elli & Ovi
If you enjoyed The Dawn of Civilisation (The Tale of Elli & Ovi’s Quest) in The Fictionary Part One – Beyond Reality, you will love Further Adventures of Elli & Ovi.
In this new adventure, the two brothers set off to track down that most devious and notorious of thieves, the Taxman; and try to retrieve some of the “tax” he has taken from them, including most of their food supplies as well as Granddad. They are joined on their quest (or is it a “mission”?) by other “victims” of the Taxman, namely; their sister, Zatt, and her husband, Gusto, as well as their old friends, Hopi & Wishi, the two nevasaurus cousins. Together they form a gang – the “Tax-Taker-Backer-Gang” – and, along the way, they recruit more members to join them in their cause such as the Great Poltroon (“Oxo” to his friends, who is more than a tad “backward”, and in more ways than one), plus a tyrannosaurus with a rather strong German accent called Poob.
With some help from another old friend, Al the mythological creature, they eventually succeed in finding the Taxman, only to discover that his taking of “tax” is the least of their problems. It turns out he is in cahoots with the Taur Brothers (Cen & Mino) and has “Big Plans” which threaten the very existence of the world as they know it!
Along the way, you will find out who the white, winged-slipper birds are, and why it is so important that they always work together in the same pairs. You will also discover who Cen’s helpers, the two little darlings, Cherub and Seraph, really are, as well as what Mino’s helpers, the long-necked ostrich-emu-lators, will eventually evolve into. Finally, you will learn the answer to what is perhaps the biggest question of all; who, or what, precisely, is the Taxman’s helper … the very hard-working Herman?
