Last story was nicer than the one before it. A short explanation of why the stones have their colors - because they were imbued with them by trolls as a gift of remembrance after years of friendship.

Spoilers: Hildur the Queen of the Elves is the strangest story so far. Why is she specifically cursed to only return home at the expense of, each Christmas Eve, riding a man like he’s a horse until he’s exhausted to death? Why does this specific man have a magic invisibility and quickness stone? Where did he get it?
