Chapter 8


“I hope Dagon will pull thru.” Said Bridget as they walk back to the main chamber. “I hope so too.” Said Queen Daphne. King Arthur nods his head in agreement, “I hope this cook will answer some questions.” Said King Arthur as they reached the main chamber. They see all the guards are knocked out. “What happen?” Asks Bridget as she checks them out. “They are breathing, they just got knock out with something.” Said Bridget. King Arthur walks past Bridget; he enters the chamber and sees the prisoner gone, he sees something on the floor he picks it up. Queen Daphne enters the room and sees what King Arthur has in his hand, “What is it?” She asks him. “I have no idea, who ever to be the cook left this here. Some how he was able to get free of the chains and knocked out the guards and leave the planet.” Said King Arthur as he looks at the paper. “Do you think it these creatures or what ever they are can change their looks?” Asks Bridget as she still checking out the guards. “You could be right, I am still wondering why they are attacking us?” Said Queen Daphne a bit confused.

“Here is my guess, they want the power jewels we have.” Said Bridget as she still work on the guards. In a few minutes they are awake. “Can you tell me what happen?” asks King Arthur to the captain of the Guards. “Yes I can your highness.” Said the Caption of the guards as he explains what happen to them. “That is all I can remember.” Said The Captain of the Guards. The others guards nods their head in agreement.

(Back to Dagon’s chamber.)

“Aella, try to get some sleep, I know it is hard to watch him. If there is any change in him I will wake you up.” Said Alberto. Aella looks at Alberto and nods her head yes and curls up on a chair and she fallen asleep. Alberto covers Aella up with a blanket. Alberto goes back to Dagon. “Dagon, you need to drink more.” Said Alberto hoping Dagon can hear him. He gets no response from Dagon.

Alberto gets the drink ready for Dagon; he went over and helps him to drink the antidote. Bran enters the room. “How is it going?” He asks as he sees Aella sleeping in a chair. “It is still bit early to tell. He is drinking the antidote with no problems.” Said Alberto as he watches Dagon. “I just learn the cook was a fake one. King Arthur had him guarded in the main chamber.” Said Bran as he looks at Dagon.

“Did he escape?” asks Alberto puzzled. Bran shakes his head yes, “These creatures or what ever they are can change shape. He has no idea where he went.” Finished Bran. Suddenly Dagon just screams out. Aella awakes with a start and she sees Bran and Alberto trying to calm Dagon down. She went over and helps as well. After a few minutes he is calm and back into his coma. “What was that about?” asks Aella a bit confused. Alberto explains Dagon’s past. Aella goes over and feels Dagon’s forehead. “He is starting to burn up.” Said Aella a bit worried now. Bran goes over and feels Dagon’s head. “You can bath his head with water to keep the fever down.” Said Bran.

“The antidote is working, it might take awhile before he does come around.” Said Alberto a bit tired. “Now it is your turn Alberto, I will stay here with Aella and help her with Dagon. You get some rest.” Said Bran. Alberto nods his head in agreement and he leaves. Aella sees some movement on the bed, “Do you think Dagon is dreaming?” She asks Bran, as he looks at Dagon. “I think so, I think he will have them.” Said Bran as he baths Dagon’s head with a cool cloth. Queen Daphne enters the room. “How is he doing?” She asks as she looks at Dagon. “Alberto said the antidote is working. Alberto has no idea how long Dagon will like this.” Said Bran.

“I am sure he will pull thou, King Arthur thinks the creature has left Twilight and he has put up the force field.” Said Queen Daphne. “It is time for his next drink, Bran can you please help me?” Asks Aella as she pours the antidote into a cup. Bran nods his head and helps Aella with Dagon. “I hope he will come around soon.” Said Aella as she watches Dagon.

“It will take some time before he does wake up. The antidote is working. It takes time for it work as well.” Said Bran as he sits on the chair. Dagon starts to moan and groan. Aella tries to calm him down. “I think he is still dreaming about his other home.” Said Queen Daphne as she watches Dagon. “Yes, these creatures were attacking the planet to find Dagon.” Said Bran as he checks Dagon out.

“Bran, that was it for the antidote.” Said Aella as she checks the jug. “I will let Alberto and Castor know.” Said Queen Daphne as she leaves the room. Suddenly there alarms going off. “What is going on?” asks Aella a bit worried. “You stay her with him, I am going to check it out.” Said Bran as he leaves the room.

Few minutes later he arrives back with Alberto, “Some one has started a fire. Alberto, is it safe to bring Dagon out?” Asks Bran as he watches Alberto checks Dagon out. “Yes, Aella please bring blankets as much you can carry.” Said Alberto as he and Bran carries Dagon. Aella grabs the blankets and they head out side.

(Outside)

Aella spreads the blankets on the ground Alberto and Bran lays Dagon on top of them. “I hope they can put out the fire.” Said Bridget as she sits near Dagon. “They will, it was a fire bomb that explode before the fake cook disappear.” Said King Arthur as he watches the men to put out the fire. Suddenly Dagon screams again. “The fire brought back the memories from the attack on Myst. “Said Alberto as he tries to calm Dagon down. “You are safe, you are having a nightmare.” Said Alberto as he continues to calm Dagon down.

Aella is getting scared now. Bran went over to help Alberto out. “Do you think my necklace will help him calm down as well?” asks Bridget. “You can try.” Said Alberto hoping it will work. Bridget stands up and says the magic words; there was a glow around Dagon after a few minutes it was done. “That did it.” Said Alberto seeing how calm Dagon is.

“I am glad it work too. He has been thou too much already. It is hard for him to hold on like this.” Said Bridget. Alberto nods his head yes, “Myst is a peace loving planet. I wonder how they are doing now?” Alberto said as he thinks back to his home planet. “I am sure we can check once we are able to get back inside.” Said King Arthur. Alberto looks at King Arthur in puzzlement. King Arthur explains that they can check other planets out. “I am sure Dagon would like to know too. Myst is part of him as well.” Said Alberto.

(Two Hour Later.)
“The fire is out.” Said King Arthur as he does his spell to fix the castle backs the way it was. They hear a groan. Aella checks on Dagon and sees he is trying to come around. Alberto checks on Dagon and notices it time for another drink. He and Aella help Dagon to drink the antidote. Dagon tries to fight it. “Dagon, you must drink it.” Said Aella hoping Dagon will stop fighting over them. Dagon has stop moving around and lets them help him to drink the antidote. “I will help you move him back inside.” Said Bran as he and Alberto picks up Dagon.

(Back inside in Dagon’s chamber.)

“How long will he be out?” asks Bridget to Alberto. As Alberto checks Dagon out again, “ I really don’t know, the fever is still there. It could tomorrow or longer. He knows we are here. ” Said Alberto. Aella grabs Dagon hand she feels a squeeze. “He just squeezed my hand.” Aella said. “He might come around later tonight my guess.” Said Alberto as he watches Dagon again.

Chapter 7


“How long can they hold the force field up?” Asks Alberto as he watches them. Bram looks at Bridget and Dagon “I have no idea, I am hoping these attacks will stop.” Said Bram. King Arthur nods his head in agreement. Suddenly the attacks stop as suddenly as it came. “Dagon and Bridget you can relax now.” Said Bram. Both Dagon and Bridget relax. Alberto notices how worn out they are after the ordeal.

“I think Dagon and Bridget should rest.” Said Queen Daphne. Dagon nods his head as he and Bridget leaves the room. “Who attack us?” asks Alberto a bit confused. “We really have no clue why they are picking on us. Or what they are. They are from a planet called Goth. That is all we know about them.” Said King Arthur as he looks outside.

(Later)

“I hope I have don’t have to do that again.” Said Dagon as he enters the main chamber. Alberto looks up from what he is doing. “Once these things stop and leaving us alone I am sure you need to do it again.” Said Alberto as he watches Dagon as he sits down. “I am still curious about the necklace. How does it know when these attacks comes or when to help out?” Asks Dagon a bit confused.

“Our people came from a different planet, that was dying. They sent out a party to find another planet to live on. They found this one we call Twilight. When they were waiting for the ships to arrive they were exploring the planet, they have found a magic jewel that they turn into necklaces for their King and Queen and their families.” Answered Queen Daphne.

“The necklaces get pass down in our family?” Asks Dagon as he listens. “Yes, There is always two are made in case there are twins in the family.” Said Queen Daphne. The cook enters the room “Your majesties lunch is ready for you in the dining room.” Said the Cook. “I still don’t understand how I ended up on the planet Myst, I know Bram did the spell, but I am still wondering how I ended up there?” asks Dagon as he gets up and heads towards the door. “We will explain it after we had lunch. I am going to get Bridget.” Said Queen Daphne.

(Later after Lunch.)

“When it was our turn, we had to take two ships to get here. I took Bridget in the first one your father took you in the second one.” Said Queen Daphne as she sits down and tries to remember what happen next. “ I watched your mother and sister take off while I waited for my ship to get ready. After mine was ready, we took off, I was in contact with your mother to make sure she and Bridget was airtight. I ran into a meter shower that knocks us off course, it was near Myst. I didn’t know the planet name when I landed on the planet. Our ship was damaged not to badly. I left the door open and it is my guess you woke up from your nap and wonder outside. After awhile I took off. I didn’t notice you were gone after I reached Twilight.” Said King Arthur finishing the story. Dagon was shocked to hear this. “The people who found me that day tried to find out who I was.” Said Dagon a bit sad as he remembers the kind people on Myst.

Bridget sees how sad Dagon has become “ You always will remember them. I am happy they raised you.” Said Bridget as she tries to cheer Dagon up. Dagon smiles and replies “Thanks Bridget. I wont forget them, they are part of my life.” Said Dagon. “I am glad they did or something will bad happen then.” Said Queen Daphne as she picks up her needlepoint. Dagon smiles as he starts to leave. “ I am going to walk outside with Aella for awhile.” Said Dagon. “I see you already found a lady in her.” Asks King Arthur. Dagon blushes a bit and nods his head yes as he leaves the room. “Your Majesty, care to join me for a walk as well?” asks Alberto to Bridget a bit shyly. “I would love too. Please call me Bridget.” Said Bridget answering Alberto. Alberto raises his arm and Bridget takes it as they leave the room. “I see Alberto has fallen in love with Bridget.” Said King Arthur as he watches them leave. Queen Daphne looks up from her needlepoint “Yes, I do admit they look cute together. Remember Bridget has the right to choose who she can marry same with Dagon.” Said Queen Daphne as she goes back to her needlepoint.

(Later)

Aella comes in running. King Arthur sees her and come towards her. “Is something wrong?” he asks her. Aella nods her head yes “Your majesty it is Dagon he just collapsed. He told me to come to get you.” Said Aella out of breath. “Please lead me to him.” Said King Arthur. Aella nods her head and they both leave. Few minutes they are at Dagon side. King Arthur is shock to see Bridget and Alberto there as well. “What happen to him?” asks Alberto a bit worried as he watches King Arthur checking out Dagon. “I have no idea, Dagon can you hear me?” ask King Arthur. Dagon looks at his father then passes out. “Alberto, please find Castor for me.” King Arthur asks. Alberto nods his head and he runs off to get Castor. King Arthur notices Aella and Bridget are worried about Dagon. “Will be all right?” asks Aella breaking the silence.

“I don’t know. I am not too sure what is wrong with him.” Said King Arthur as he checks Dagon out again. Suddenly Dagon has a fit. King Arthur tries to calm him down. “Bridget tries to use your necklace.” Said King Arthur. Bridget nods her head and says the magic words. It didn’t work. Alberto and Castor arrive.

“Let me check him out.” Said Castor as he kneels beside Dagon. The others move out of the way so Castor can check Dagon out. “Dagon has been poisoned.” Said Castor as he stands up. The others were shocked to hear this. “Do you know what kind of poison?” asks King Arthur to Castor. “Yes, it is very deadly thou. We must move him into his chambers. Alberto please helps me carry Dagon. ” Castor said as he looks at Dagon. Alberto nods his head and he and Castor carries him to his Chambers.

“Your majesty, Can I help?” asks Aella to King Arthur. King Arthur looks at Aella and answers, “Yes, you can stay with Dagon. You and Alberto can look after him there.” Said King Arthur. “Thanks your majesty” Said Aella as she leaves them. “Father, who wants to poison Dagon for?” asks Bridget a bit worried. “I have no idea, it must happen when we had lunch. I will ask the cook staff” Said King Arthur as he leaves. Bridget went back to the main chamber to fill in Queen Daphne.

(In Dagon’s Chamber.)

“He seems getting worse every minute” Said Aella as she holds Dagon hand as she watches Castor do his stuff. “I am not too sure what poison that was used. So it is hard to treat it.” Said Castor as he works his stuff. King Arthur enters the room. “I found out what poison that was used.” Said King Arthur as he looks at Dagon. “Please tell me.” Said Castor as he looks at King Arthur. King Arthur tells him. “I never heard of that poison before.” Said Castor a bit worried now.

“I have, on Myst we use that to kill rodents that eat the crops. There is a antidote for it.” Said Alberto. Castor looks at Alberto. “Can you make it here?” Castor asks Alberto. Alberto nods his head yes and tells Castor what he needs. “I have all that in my place. Please come with me, I will help you with it as well.” Said Castor as they both leave the room.

Queen Daphne and Bridget enter the room. “Any news? Bridget told me what happen.” Said Queen Daphne. King Arthur explains what poison that was used on Dagon. “Alberto knows the antidote for it, He and Castor are making it now.” Said King Arthur. Queen Daphne looks at Dagon, “Who would do a such a thing to us?” Queen Daphne asks no one. “ I have no idea, maybe it these things that keeps attacking us here.” Said King Arthur. Just then Castor and Alberto returns with the antidote, Alberto goes over to the bed “Dagon drink this.” Said Alberto as he helps Dagon with the drink.

“Aella, he must drink this antidote every hour.” Said Alberto. Aella nods her head. “Don’t worry I will be here as well. He might try to fight it.” Continues Alberto as he looks at Dagon. “I will leave you two here with Dagon, I need to find out if this cook is true or a imposter.” Said King Arthur as he walks out the room. The others follow him out.

Chapter 6

Alberto rushes into the chamber; Bran sees the worry look on Alberto’s face, “What is it?” Bran asks Alberto. Alberto explains what is happening to Dagon. Both Bran and Alberto heads back to Dagon’s chambers. Bran sees him glowing like crazy. “I never have seen this happen before. You stay here with him.” Said Bran as he leaves the room. Bran went back to the royal chamber. He explains what is happening to Dagon. “You go back there and help Alberto, I am going to check on Bridget.” Said King Arthur as he leaves the room.

(Back in Dagon’s room.)

Bran sees Dagon is glowing. “Has he woken up yet?” Bran asks Alberto. Alberto shakes his head no. King Arthur enters the room “This is strange Bridget is doing the same thing.” Said King Arthur. Bran looks at King Arthur and back at Dagon. “They are twins, they might need to be together.” Said Bran. King Arthur looks at Bran and nods his head in agreement. He calls one of the servants to tell them to bring Bridget here. They leave to do the errand. Few minutes later they bring Bridget in. They lay her on the bed next to Dagon.

“I hope this works.” Said King Arthur as he watches them. They continue watching them when they see Bridget stirring. “It looks like Bridget is coming around” Said Bran as he still watching them. Few minutes Bridget is totally awake. “What happen?” she asks a bit confused. King Arthur explains what happen to her. Bridget looks at Dagon. “How long will he be like this?” she asks King Arthur.

“I have no idea. It might take awhile for him to come around.” Said King Arthur as he still watches Dagon. Bridget went to touch Dagon’s face; everyone sees Dagon is moving a bit when Bridget is touching him. Suddenly he cries out again. Bridget was shock at this and looks at King Arthur. “He must be dreaming about Myst again.” Said Bran as he watches Alberto tries to calm him down again. Bridget looks confused Bran explains where Alberto and Dagon came from.

“He isn’t calming down this time.” Said Alberto a bit worried now. “Bridget, you must make contact with him.” Said King Arthur. Bridget nods her head in agreement, and then she lies down beside her brother and does a spell. After a few minutes Dagon opens his eyes. “What happened?” he asks in a daze voice. King Arthur explains. “I want you and Bridget take it easy for the rest of the day.” Said King Arthur. Both nod their heads in agreement. Bran and King Arthur leave the room.

(Next Day.)

Bran returns to Dagon’s room to check on them. “How are you feeling?” He asks them as he notices them talking to each other. Dagon turn towards Bran “ Better. Getting a bit bored now.” Said Dagon, Bridget nods her head in agreement. “You both can move around now. Bridget you can show your brother around the place.” Said Bran. Both Dagon and Bridget leave the room.

“Tell me more about the planet Myst?” asks Bridget as she shows Dagon the castle. Dagon explains all about Myst. “It sounds really pretty over there.” Said Bridget as Dagon finished speaking. “Yes, it is also very peaceful.” Dagon said as he looks around. He notices a girl just standing out of the way. Bridget notices Dagon has stopped to look at the girl. Bridget sees the girl blush and leaves. “Who is she?” ask Dagon as he watches the girl walk away.
“I have seen her before. I really don’t know, we can ask father about her when we return to the main chamber.” Said Bridget. Dagon nods his head in agreement as they continue the tour. Ten minutes later they are back in the main chamber. “How was the tour Dagon?” asks King Arthur. Dagon answers, “Great, It will take me awhile to get used to it.” Queen Daphne smiles, “I can understand, Dagon.” Said Queen Daphne. Dagon explains the girl he saw. King Arthur listens what Dagon had just said. “I have seen her around as well. She mostly stays in the shadows.” Said King Arthur. “I am sure if she will see you more she might get comfortable with you.” Said Queen Daphne.

“I am going to explore again, I want to get the feel of the castle.” Said Dagon as he leaves. Alberto watches Dagon leaves “He is back to normal.” Said Alberto. Both King Arthur and Queen Daphne look at Alberto in puzzlement. Alberto notices their confused looks and explains what he meant.

Dagon is walking to the courtyard when he notices the same girl again. He stops and looks at her, he notices how she stays in the shadows so he turns around and looks at a painting on the wall. The girl watches him for a moment and walks towards him. Dagon sees the movement but he doesn’t move. “Care to join me?” asks Dagon in a friendly manner. The girl stops can’t decide what to do. “Don’t worry I wont hurt you, my name is Dagon.” Said Dagon hoping the girl will come closer.

“Your highness” the girl said as she bows down. Dagon smiles forgetting that he is a prince “Please stand up.” Said Dagon noticing how she is really pretty. The girl stands up straight. Dagon smiles, “Care to join me for a stroll around the courtyard?” he asks the girl. “I would love too. My name is Aella.” Said Aella a bit shy.

“What a beautiful name.” Said Dagon as he holds out his arm. Aella isn’t too sure about taking his arm until she looks at his face noticing how friendly smile Dagon has. Aella grabs his arm and they both talk a walk outside to the courtyard.

(Later.)

Dagon returns back to the main chamber. Alberto notices Dagon enters. “I am glad you didn’t get lost.” Said Alberto to Dagon. Dagon shakes his head no. King Arthur walks towards Dagon, “I see that you have been talking to her?” he asks Dagon. Dagon smiles and replies, “Yes, I have we walk around and talk about stuff.” Alberto is shocked how Dagon is looking when he is talking about the girl. “I can see Dagon is in love with her.” Said Queen Daphne as she listens. Dagon blushes just a bit. “She is very pretty. I really enjoy her company as well.” Said Dagon. King Arthur smiles what he heard.

Suddenly there was a big bang. “What was that?” asks Alberto as he looks around the room. King Arthur went to the window and saw another rocket heading towards the castle. Alberto notices Dagon and Bridget’s necklaces. “Dagon, I think your necklace wants to help.” Said
Alberto as he sees the necklace glow. Both Bridget and Dagon look at their necklaces. Bran notices it as well he gives them the magic word for the necklace to work. Both Dagon and Bridget say the magic words and the necklaces starts to put a force field around the castle.
