the life and adventures of santa claus 1902

The Great Ak has had enough of this and summons King Awgwa and his followers to come and face him. Claus tries to go alone by night, but he is again ambushed. As he and his friends make attempts to deliver toys to the village, the Awgwas repeatedly ambush them and steal the toys. After Claus ignores the warning, the Awgwas kidnap him, but he calls for aid from the Knooks, who help him escape.

At first, they send a warning to Claus, telling him to stop or they would come for him. Meanwhile, evil creatures called the Awgwas (who influence children to do bad things and who are led by King Awgwa) are not happy with Claus's efforts to bring happiness to children, so they attempt to stop Claus from making and delivering toys.

He is occasionally assisted by a group of Ryls, Knooks, and Wood Nymphs from the Forest. He eventually makes toys (the first being a wooden black cat modeled after the kitten Blinky that Necile sent to them, which he gives to the orphan boy Weekum). As he gets older, he works to bring happiness to children in a nearby village. He leaves the Forest and lives in a workshop in the Laughing Valley of Hohaho with Shiegra and Tingler, a Sound Imp. Claus learns that he must live there and make it better. When Claus has grown to be a young man, the Great Ak takes him to see the mortal world and its cruelty and suffering. After initial concern that a human was brought into the Forest which is against the law, the Great Ak allows Necile to raise the child while Shiegra stays to protect them. However, after hearing about the discovery of the infant, Necile, a Wood Nymph, steals him from Shiegra and goes to the Great Ak, begging him to let her raise the child. He gives it to the lioness Shiegra to raise. About 60 years earlier, the Great Ak finds an abandoned baby in the snowy woods on the border of the Forest.

Long ago in the Forest of Burzee, a council meeting is held where the Great Ak tells the story of Santa Claus to the leaders of the Immortals, hoping to persuade them to grant Claus immortality.
