The Promise of Christmas

When will Nikko begin to use his given name of Nicholas, and use the Sleigh to bring joy and happiness to children all over the world? Was it just a dream that he met God and was told that in time he will know why, and how, his childhood friend Jesus will bring peace and joy to everyone who believed in his teachings?

With the passing of his Grandfather King Caspar, his father Prince Ezra takes over the Kingdom of Arabia as King Ezra and Nikko as Crown Prince Nicholas. Life in the palace becomes tedious and boring without battles to win and land to conquer. He is troubled by recurring dreams of zipping through the night sky with the sleigh and reindeer. It seemed like a dream when it happened, and it's been more than 20 years since he met Herald's father who he called God, in a place where time stood still and where angels lived, high above Tobolsk.

Is this the time when Nikko is supposed to use the sleigh and reveal it to the world, or must he wait for Herald to tell him? Or maybe it would be his friend Jesus who gave his carpenter tools and wood to build the sleigh who will tell him? Jesus telling him would be the most logical person since it was he that knew about building it and that it could fly. But how will he find Jesus to ask him? These are questions that Nikko doesn't have answers for.

Herald and Ivan have managed to keep the magical sleigh a secret and have it hidden in Herald's cave. However, while the sleigh is hidden away in a large secret chamber of the cave, only known to Herald, there is clear evidence that it is kept clean and polished by someone other than Herald. When Ivan questions Herald about it, it only allows a more mysterious response from Herald, saying it is the little cave dwellers who do it for him. Ivan wonders who they could be since Hannah and he were known to be the last descendants of the ancient cave dwellers. Who are they, and how do they know where it is, and have access to it? The mystery unfolds even more when Nikko returns to Tobolsk with his family and discovers the hidden chamber and evidence of the little cave dwellers.
