Chapter 6
The rocs prepared to cut the hair.
The three Trolls held hands.
Ash said, "It will all be over soon."
The three rocs started to cut off their hair.
Finally, ever last strand of hair was removed from their heads.
"What the-"
The Trolls' hair immediately grew back.
"This is incredible."
Poppy said, "We could've told you that."
The rocs then took up all of the hair.
Trollex said, "Ok. You've got what you want. Now, let us go."
But, Axel then said, "Actually, if your hair can do that, we'll probably never let you leave now."
Kim then said to her friends, "Well, it looks like we're trapped down here forever unless the others manage to find us. But, does anyone even know we're missing?"
Poppy said, "Well, I did remove my Hug Watch at the entrance to the palace."
Kim said, "You did? Good thinking, Poppy!"
But, Trollex said, "But, who's gonna think to find it up here in Slippery Slope?"

The Trolls were then led into the weaving room, where they were met by Callista.
"Oh, my dears. You will complete the work of repairing my beloved cloak so that my world will be filled with my radiance. My own extraordinary, indescribable beauty."
The rocs then chained the Trolls to spinning wheels.
When they were ordered to work, they initially refused to do so.
Poppy said, "We won't help you ruin our home!"
Ash then said, "Of course, we only plan to turn your land into glass. But, we could consider turning the inhabitants as well if you don't cooperate!"
The Trolls looked at each other, and decided to just do it and hope for the best.
They started spinning and making fabric from the cut hair.

In the cave system, Branch and the others continued to follow the Sunflowers.
But, the Sunflowers soon didn't know which way to go.
Branch asked them, "Could this be the way in?"
He pointed to a tunnel.
They agreed, but Branch decided to lead from there.
Meanwhile, Biggie and Hickory had the gang in sight.
However, Biggie decided to stay out of sight so they could be the backups in case of an emergency.
Hickory agreed and they continued to follow them quietly.

The work had taken at least a couple of hours.
While they did it, the three Trolls hoped that everything would soon turn out ok.
Then, it was finally done.
Ash took the new cloak, "It's finished! The cloak is finished! No more putting up with with bowing nonsense!"
The rocs then left to give Callista the cloak.
