[edit] Plot introduction
Che, Chex Centaur’s foal, has been kidnapped by a group of goblins. It is up to Jenny, a girl from the world of two moons, to save him. Further more, after Dolph, son of Dor and Irene, finish saving Che, he has to marry either Electra or Naga!
[edit] Plot summary
It all starts when Che Centaur is foalnapped. Meanwhile, Jenny Elf comes from another world through a giant hole between dimensions in Xanth. Jenny and her cat Sammy find Che, try to free him from the goblins that kidnapped him, and end up getting them both recaptured by other goblins. Then Nada, Electra, and the initial four foalnappers work together to get Che, Jenny, and Sammy back. After successfully doing so, they play a game of chance to decide who to whom Che goes; the goblins win. They (The four goblins, Che, Jenny, and Sammy) go back to Goblin Mountain where Che is to live. There, they find out that the person who the goblin wanted them to help was a little goblin girl named Gwendolyn that was lame and mostly blind but couldn't tell anyone or she would be killed. Soon thereafter, Che's parents start a siege on Goblin Mountain with all the disciplined winged monsters that could be found, in order get Che back. After much chaos, the goblins and Che's parents agree to settle for allowing Che to go back with his parents if they will take care of Gwendolyn as well.
