"Bon hiver! Bon hiver!"
"We are in Chicago now", Anthony says. "Look at all those skyscrapers. I wonder if Chicago kind of wants to imitate New York City here."
"Chicago, Illinois?" the llama says in a disturbing quiet tone. "Rings a bell, if you ask me. I have got a very bad feeling about this. Call it intuition or premonition whatever you like."
"Are you a seer now?" I ask the animal. "Or an empath or something like that?"
"You'll never know. Look at us, dude, traveling with Christmas Elves from place to place in more than light speed, within less than the blink of the eye."
"He is here!"
Llama and I turn to Anthony quickly.
"Can't you see him over there? Isn't he even carrying a red coat and red trousers and a red hat in his arms?"
Llama and I turn simultaneously in the direction Anthony is looking.
"Whom should we see?" the llama asks. "Santa Claus? Is he free?"
"No, the man in black, Joe Darque, the Dark Eater", Anthony says sounding not very confident.
"I don't see anybody", I say.
"Me neither", whispers Anthony, "but he should be here. This is the time and place of his grand entrance."
And louder he says, "Look there he is, the thin and tall man with the pale face. He is all dressed in black, suit, shirt, tie and coat. And look at that little black bowler hat on his head!"
"Pan Tau?" the llama asks. But I shake my head.
Suddenly Anthony, our Christmas Elf, is acting very weird.
"Ant?" he shouts out over the parking lot near Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. "Antagonist, where are you? Come out and play your part! Your first appearance in this play is right now!"
"What is that thing?" the llama asks pointing at a big silver sculpture.
"That's the bean", Anthony says, "a mirror sculpture. Some call it the Cloud Gate. It is inspired by quicksilver."
"No", I say before the llama can ask, "not Quicksilver, the character from the MARVEL comics and movies."
"Ant!" Anthony shouts. "This is not funny!"
And from under the arch of the sculpture Anthony called the bean comes a pale slender man now - just like the elf described him a few minutes ago. And indeed he is carrying Santa Claus' red and white clothes with him.
"Prot, I cannot do this", he says. "And I do not want to do this. I am all fed up with being an antagonist!
"What do you mean?" Anthony asks but does not get an answer.
The man in black points into the air with extended index finger performing a circular movement and steps into the opening he just produced for himself.
"We have to follow him!" Anthony shouts out.
"We are in Chicago now", Anthony says. "Look at all those skyscrapers. I wonder if Chicago kind of wants to imitate New York City here."

"Bromford"
I can't wait for Bromford
I'm gonna start a whole new life
I've seen a picture, it's so pretty
I can't wait to get to Bromford
I've got a long way to go
And I ain't gonna be moving slow
I'm gonna fly right through the breeze
Like I got a new pair of wings
I'm not even gonna stop
I don't care if I see a cop
I got this twitching in my knees
I can't wait for Bromford
I'm gonna start a whole new life
I've seen a picture, it's so pretty
I can't wait to get to Bromford
I've got a long way to go
And I ain't gonna be moving slow
I'm gonna fly right through the breeze
Like I got a new pair of wings
I'm not even gonna stop
I don't care if I see a cop
I got this twitching in my knees
Whoa, I can't wait
I can't wait for Bromford
I can't wait for Bromford
I can't wait for Bromford
