"So what now?" Jon asked Santa, referring to the fact that he was now free of the Darklyte, for the first time in three and a half centuries.
"I don't know, but I'm sure that ..." he began, but was interrupted by one of his elves.
"Santa, we've got a problem!" the small pointy-eared man yelled, scurrying in his direction. "I can't explain it, but some of the elves are acting very strangely." In fact, it was the elves that had lost hope that Santa would ever be freed from the Darklyte. The new otherworldly menace had seized upon this opportunity and had affected their minds, turning them sex-crazed, something foreign to the elves.
"Tell me what you've witnessed," Santa said.
