I like the name Stefin for one of the human characters, either the king or the cobbler. I don't have a clear vision yet of what the human culture is like, and I know that's gotta come before I come up with any names (prince, knight, king's youngest daughter, brave cobbler, at the least. And if I have a youngest daughter, I need oldest daughters too. And to plot out the romance between the brave cobbler and the youngest daughter.
This writing of a novel is *hard* - I much prefer my fairy stories. It's not my fault that the gargoyles want more.

One way to expand the story to novel length is to have 'side stories' to inter-weave into the story line. Someone had to have the idea to steal the talisman in the 1st place and there had to be a source of the threat against the human kingdom as well. Maybe one of the human characters is in cahoots with the invaders, and of course the wrong one is suspected of it. Or maybe there is friendship between the children of the two groups (human and gargoyle) that is threatened by the adults stubborn pride. Any number of side stories could be inter-woven to expand the story I'd think.
