Chapter 5

Chapter 5

(Next morning.)

There was a knock on the door. Alberto went and answers it “Come in Bran.” Said Alberto as he motions Bran inside the room. Bran enters, “How did you sleep?” he asks them. “Pretty good. What is going on?” asks Dagon as he finished dressing. “You have a busy day ahead of you Dagon. I can’t say too much right now.” Said Bran. Dagon and Alberto look at each other. “Please follow me.” Continues Bran as he leaves the room. Both of them follow him.

(Back in the grand room.)

Queen Daphne notices them and walks towards them. “Good morning.” Said Queen Daphne. Dagon smiles “Good morning.” He returns the gesture. “Your father is waiting for you in the next room. Please follow me.” Said Queen Daphne as she leads the way. Dagon looks puzzled but he follows the Queen. Few minutes later they reach a room. “What is this place?” asks Dagon confused.

“Your father will explain. Please go inside.” Said Queen Daphne. Dagon looks at her and enters the room. “Dagon please come here.” Asks King Arthur. Dagon heads over where his dad is. He looks at the bed. “Who is she?” Dagon finally asks King Arthur. “She is your twin sister. When you disappeared we put her into a sleep.” Said King Arthur. Dagon was shock that he has a sister. “When she is awake?” Dagon asks King Arthur.

King Arthur explains what they need to do. Dagon was shocked to hear this and bit confused. King Arthur explains what the stuff needs to be done. “I know it is a shock for you. Every royal person has did it in the past.” Finished King Arthur. Dagon looks at his sister again, “How long does it take to do all this?” asks Dagon as he still in shock. King Arthur explains to him. “The sooner you get it done your sister will be awake.” Dagon looks at King Arthur and replies, “When can we start this?”

King Arthur explains that to him. “Come we will get you ready.” Said King Arthur as he leaves the room. Dagon follows him to another room. “This place where we will do it. Let the servants do their thing.” Said King Arthur as he claps his hands. The servants come toward Dagon.

(Two hours later.)

“Are you ready?” Asks King Arthur as he looks at his son. “Yes I am.” Answers Dagon a bit scared to go thru this. King Arthur notices how scared Dagon is. “I will be there with you. I was scared when I did it with my father as well. It won’t take long. You wont feel a thing.” Said King Arthur as he comforts Dagon. Dagon looks at his father and asks, “What do you mean?” The King Arthur answers. “They will put you to sleep. For a few days.” Dagon looks surprised at this. “Does my sister go thru this as well?” Dagon asks. King Arthur nods his head yes. “Her name is Bridget. They are ready for you.” Said King Arthur as he motions Dagon to another room.

King Arthur opens the door and they both enter. Dagon looks around the room in amazement. “This room where we do the change. This is Castor he will be looking after you. I know you have Alberto but we need some one that has the talents.” Explains King Arthur. Dagon nods his head in agreement. Castor walks towards them. “Nice to meet you Prince Dagon. Did your father explain what is happening? ” Said Castor as he joins them. Dagon nods his head yes unable to speak. “Don’t worry, you will be asleep. We are ready now.” Finishes Castor. They all go to the room. “I will explain how the stuff works.” Said Castor as they stop at the counter; he explains each drug will do.

“How long will I be asleep for?” Asks Dagon as he listens to Castor. “Depends how long the change takes. It might be couple of days or less hard to say.” Finishes Castor. Dagon looks at the drugs and asks, “How long does the drug take affects?” Castor explains that to him “Some are fast to work and some will take time to work. I can tell when you are ready for the next one. We better start now, I will get the first one ready.” Said Castor as he heads over to the counter to make the stuff up.

Few minutes later Castor brings the drink to Dagon. “Drink this, take your time. I want you to walk around the room. You will start to feel very dizzy.” Said Castor as he hands the drink to Dagon. Dagon holds the drink and drinks it slowly until it is all done. He starts to walk around the room. Castor watches him while he mixes another one up. “Dagon is you getting dizzy?” Asks Castor as he continues to work. Dagon nods his head yes as he contiues to walk. Castor has finished the next drink. “Dagon please comes here.” He asks Dagon. Dagon goes over towards Castor. “Drink this one slowly as well. It will make you feel like you are drunk and very light headed.” Explains Castor as he hands the drink to Dagon.

Dagon takes the drink and he drinks it slowly, hands the cup back to Castor. He starts walking around the room. Castor continues to make the next drink for Dagon. After awhile he looks up and notices Dagon is swaying. Castor goes over towards Dagon. “I will help you with this drink. It will make you paralyze and you wont able to stand any more.” Said Castor as he helps Dagon with the next drink. Castor helps Dagon to walk around the room. Castor sees that Dagon is having a hard time to walk; he moves Dagon to a bed and helps him to lie down. “The other drugs will be easier now Dagon. The first one will make you relax. The second one will make you sleepy. Then I will use hypnosis you and then the last drug to put you into a very deep sleep.” Said Castor as he gets the needles ready. Dagon only can watch. “You wont feel a thing.” Said Castor as gives the needle to Dagon.

Castor watches closely to see how Dagon is holding up with the drugs. Castor sees how relax Dagon has become. Castor gives him the next needle. “Let the drug work don’t fight it.” Said Castor as he watches Dagon. He notices how sleepy Dagon is becoming. “Dagon, please look into my eyes.” Castor said as he watches Dagon closely. Dagon looks into Castor eyes. Castor says a spell and Dagon is out like a light. Castor uses the last drug on Dagon, then he checks Dagon out.

“He is ready King Arthur.” Said Castor. King Arthur looks at Dagon, He says a magic spell, Dagon is lifted into the air and there was bright light and smoke all around Dagon. After a few minutes it was done. The spell lowers Dagon back on the bed. King Arthur watches the changes that are happening to Dagon. After awhile it is completed. Castor moves Dagon to another bed while King Arthur brings Bridget into the room and does the same thing to her. Castor moves her beside Dagon. “It will be a slow one for these two.” Said Castor. King Arthur nods his head in agreement. “I will explain this to Alberto.” Said King Arthur as he leaves the room.

(Back in the great room.)

Alberto sees King Arthur arriving with out Dagon. King Arthur notices the puzzlement on Alberto face and he explains what is happening to Dagon. “He will be alright. Our people do this. We have done this for a long time.” Said King Arthur. “ How long will be like that?” asks Alberto. King Arthur explains the culture to Alberto. Alberto now understands. “I will show you around Alberto.” Said Bran. Alberto nods his head in agreement. They leave the room. “How long will Bridget and Dagon will be under?” asks Queen Daphne. “Castor said it might be a couple of days or more.” Answers King Arthur as he head back to where Dagon and Bridget are. Queen Daphne follows him.

(Two Days pass.)

“I am going to check Dagon and Bridget.” Said King Arthur as he heads to the room. The others nod their heads and went back what they are doing. In a few minutes King Arthur arrives to the room. He enters the room Castor sees him and motions to him to follow him. King Arthur follows Castor. “How are they doing?” King Arthur asks. Castor smiles and replies, “Pretty good. The transformation was successful. Come and see for your self.” King Arthur looks at Bridget and at Dagon; he is please how they turn out.

“Are you going wake them up?” asks King Arthur as he still looks at Dagon and Bridget. Castor nods his head yes, “I am getting the stuff ready now. It still might take time for them to wake up. After I give the last needle they can moved to their own beds.” Said Castor as he gives Dagon and Bridget the needle. Then he summons the servants to carry them to their chambers. “Dagon friend can look after him, while another servant will look after Bridget.” Said Castor as he watches the servants carry Dagon and Bridget away. “I can tell that to Alberto. He seems to care about Dagon.” Said King Arthur as he walks back to the main chamber.

Alberto notices King Arthur return. “How did it go?” he asks King Arthur tells them. “They are in their own rooms. Alberto, you can stay with Dagon until he is recovered.” Said King Arthur. Alberto nods his head and replies, “Thanks.” As he walks towards the door. “I am sure Dagon will be in safe hands.” Said Bran as he follows Alberto to Dagon’s chambers.

(Inside Dagon’s Chambers.)

Alberto looks at Dagon in surprise how he looks now. “He does look a bit different now.” Said Bran as he enters the room. “What do I need to do?” asks Alberto as he looks at Dagon. Bran explains everything to Alberto. “He might dream as well. All you need to do is try to calm him down.” Finishes Bran. Alberto nods his head in agreement. Suddenly Dagon cries out, Alberto tries to calm him down. “It is all right Dagon, you are safe. Relax.” Said Alberto calm to Dagon.

“He must be dreaming about Myst.” Said Alberto. Bran nods his head in agreement. “You better stay here and keep watch on him. It might take awhile for him to wake up.” Said Bran as he leaves. Alberto nods his head yes as he sits down to read. Bran leaves the room. He goes back to King Arthur. “It will be hard for Dagon, He is dreaming about Myst.” Said Bran as he sits down at the table. “How did he ended up on that planet?” asks Queen Daphne a bit confused. Bran explains what he did to Dagon while on route to Twilight.
