In the years when magic was young and vibrant many wizards astonished the non wizards with various spells that turned sand into gold or grass into pie. Then as the understanding of magic grew suddenly there were more and more wizards doing larger more deadly spells.
The non wizards became terrified at the idea of being ruled over by the magical community, so they started the later named Carca war. The battles raged for thousands of years with the non wizards using technology to fend off the ever growing wizard community. Then suddenly a wizard came along named Begraga and he was far more powerful than any that had come before him. Begraga’s use of huge spells turned the tide in the wizards favor and thus began the exodus of non wizards from Permea to neighboring planets and galaxies. Then Begraga decided that he would take over Permea and more than a few wizards decided against this. They did this by trying to assassinate him 7 times over the course of 3 days with one attack while he was in the shower where Begraga turned himself into a droplet of water and escaped thru the drainpipe. Then in retribution for the attacks Begraga snapped and cast 3,000 massive spells that laid waste to over 24,000 wizards and started the Begraga dynasty, which lasted thru 500 generations of Begraga’s until the last of them were murdered in a huge siege on their castle with only one of them escaping. This wizard changed his name to Spash and fled to another dimension known originally as Konvoc, but later called the Domystic.
The Gatrage flew nearer to the Spash castle and Solcrist flew low to the ground to avoid the Vomics. The ground itself was laden with a turquoise thick grass that was mowed tightly and spotted with bushes and multi colored flowers. Just 200 yards ahead of them was the start of Lake Peath, which was the red flaming lake beneath Spash. Solcrist stopped the Gatrage and stood up and began to walk out of the room when Famaron chuckled and asked,” Where are you going, Solcrist?”
Solcrist stopped and looked over and said slyly,” I’m not fighting this battle on an empty stomach.”
“ A snack is it, well that works for me we should all grab something now before we don’t have the chance,” said Ohgood as he stood up and walked over to Solcrist.
“ Ah, you’re right I’d forgotten about hunger in all the commotion. Boy could I go for some pasta,” said Mench as she watched Ohgood, Solcrist, and Ratie walk out of the room with Camtow behind them.
“ I’ll watch the ship, but somebody better get me a sandwich!” yelled Famaron as he shook his head and took the center throne.
In the galley it had silver walls and a pair of black always warm ovens filled with dozens of plates of food that were hourglass shaped and were side by side on the far wall. There was also a large wine rack on the left side of the room with 8 rows in the middle of chilled beer as the entire rack had a cooling unit in the lining of each round silver slot. Above the rack there was a series of 5 pictures of Bethdo a famous humorist showing her running and jumping 7 large barrels of whiskey, but every few seconds the photos changed to show Bethdo doing different things like eating a 10 foot long meatball sub while plummeting to the ground. On the right side of the room were 2 large round TV’s with the movie,” Plain Righteous,” playing on each only one showed the vantage point of the evil count Derm and the other showing the hero Pathus racing to his castle to confront him with the sound from each only being able to be heard if you were directly in front of it. The floor was covered in a black silk with the design of a pair of massive
dragons breathing fire at each other in red silk thread with the words,” Spirit won’t crush a brave man’s will. But I can and will when we meet, because he’ll thank me for it later,” written beneath them in yellow thread.
“ Who’s hungry and I mean starved, because we have got it all my lovelies,” said Ohgood as he looked over the plates of food and then saw a large plate of dragon steak tips and chocolate cake as well as a deep fried stick of strawberry ice cream and nuts and then said,” now I’ve found the place where I belong.”
Ohgood grabbed his plate while Ratie looked thru until she saw a 13 inch long sweet and sour meatball sub with an alfredo cheese baked into the meatballs and her mouth began to water and she grabbed the plate it was sitting on and said happily,” Ah, Ratie, food, and I was nearly dead from hunger.”
“ You looked it,” said Ohgood sternly as he glared at Ratie and then laughed as she softly punched his arm and smiled.
“ Dead is it, well ole Ratie sure does like playing with sharp things over Ohgood’s head as he sleeps in his bed when she’s angry. I’m only sayin’,” said Ratie sarcastically then she raised her eyebrows quickly and smiled with her cheeks full of air.
“ I’d watch it, Ohgood, I’ve seen her juggling her daggers over you the last 3 nights. For some odd reason I forgot to mention it, odd wouldn’t you say,” said Mench sarcastically as she looked at Ohgood and then laughed as he pretended to be scared.
“ Yeah, a bit in my dream last night I felt the cold steel of a blade on my neck and someone saying hurry he’s waking up Ratie in the background. Then I woke up and saw Ratie hurrying out of the room. Odd how this came up in idle conversation. Now I must kill Ratie before she gets away,” said Ohgood sarcastically as he started towards Ratie who was pretending to be nervous.
“ Hey let’s check on ole Famaron, he likes crazy too,” said Ratie as she hurried out of the room and took a large bite of her sub and Ohgood glared at her.
Ratie walked in and saw a huge black and yellow spotted 2 headed 5 armed beast known as a Saroito. It was 50 stories high and had 6 rows of jagged black spikes coming out of its chest. It had the body of a man only with gills on the sides of its torso and a long spike covered black tail. Its eyes were glowing red and when it blinked turned into the image of the sunrise for a few seconds.
“ Ratie, we’re in big trouble. I need you to cast a spell very quickly before that thing in front of the ship notices us. Can you go ahead and do that for me please?” asked Famaron calmly then in walked Ohgood and Mench and they saw the Saroito and froze in their tracks.
“ Yeah I can do that,” said Ratie nervously then she set down her plate and hurried over and grabbed her staff as she kept a close eye on the Saroito.
“ What is that thing?” asked Mench as she glared at the Saroito as it reached into lake Peath and pulled out fist fulls of fish and then ate them ravenously.
“ It is the mighty Saroito, I heard of them very long ago. They are extinct in our world, but as I can see not in this one,” said Solcrist as he walked in and then motioned to Ratie not to cast a spell and raised his staff and said slyly,” I’ve got just the spell,” and then shouted,” Benrim dustov no mercy!”
Then a sonic boom was heard and a hole in the sky above the Saroito and out of that hole feel a massive flaming ball of crystal birds filled with a flaming blue liquid followed by a Toreab.
A Toreab was a black liquid giant with laser beams for eyes and a hulking chest and massive muscular legs. It had the ability to use its liquid body to grab onto a foe and inhabit its inner workings. It also carried a long red ax with a silver handle.
The crystal birds rained down on the Saroito and as they hit her exploded in massive bursts of fire and melted her skin. The Saroito shrieked in agony and raised its hands to block the birds causing its hands to melt away slowly.
“ Where in the sex did you get that spell?” asked Famaron as he looked on in shock.
“ You can thank a secret page I found hidden in the front cover of the Laru for this beautiful destruction,” said Solcrist slyly as he scratched the top of his head.
“ Really, that’s a good bit of sneaky. Not the first time for you is it?” asked Famaron as he grinned at Solcrist and waved his finger.
Then as the first 3 fingers of the Saroito’s left hand melted away the last of the crystal birds fell and the Toreab came falling down upon him. The Toreab kicked him in the h
ead then knocked him into the water. Then the Saroito grabbed the Toreab as they wrestled under the water and its hands went right thru it. The Saroito started to panic and shot backward and up out of the water, but the Toreab followed and shot him with its lasers and hit him right in the neck. Then the Saroito clutched its throat with its left hand and swung its right violently back and forth at the Toreab, but the blows passed right thru.
“ We should make a break for it while we still can,” said Mench firmly as she took in the Malay.
“ I think we should wait a moment longer. The Toreab has one trick left,” said Solcrist slyly as he smiled to himself with glee.
Then the Toreab lunged forward and grabbed hold of the Saroito with both arms and both legs. As the Saroito squirmed violently back and forth the Toreab seeped into its body. Within only a few seconds it was entirely inside and was devouring the Saroito’s inside from its heart to its brains as her body shook at lightning speed.
“ What’s happening where’d the other creature go?” asked Ratie anxiously as she grimaced and felt terror.
“ He’s inside the Saroito, Ratie, and he’s hungry,” said Solcrist coldly as he smiled menacingly.
“ Really, ah that is the scariest thing I’ve ever heard of,” said Ratie nervously as she began to feel sick.
Meanwhile the Toreab was devouring the last of the Saroito’s muscles and tissues. Then when it had eaten it all it shot out of the body in a flash and the skin of the Saroito fell helplessly into Peath lake.
“ Now we can go, did anyone get me a dinner? I’m feeling very empty,” asked Famaron as he rubbed his stomach.
“ That seems to be going around these days,” said Ohgood slyly as he looked at the Saroito and then Ratie who was frowning.
“ Right here, Famaron, I got you the Cordon black chicken and strawberry pie,” said Camtow as she carried over a large white plate.
Cordon Black was a pair of thinly cut chicken legs cooked inside a dragon’s mouth. Then it was dipped in a dragon’s sugary tear and then had a dozen vegetables put in the center and topped off with a thick black homemade gravy.
“ I knew there was a reason I loved you,” said Famaron as he took the plate and gave Camtow a kiss.
“ I thought it was my sense of kindness and soft kisses, hmmm interesting,” said Camtow slyly as she grinned at Famaron.
“ And you good, let’s not forget that cause I’ve seen the other side of it,” said Famaron sarcastically as he tried not to smile.
Camtow laughed and shook her shoulders and then Solcrist said,” I think it’s time we ventured onward to Spash.”
“ Yeah we wouldn’t want to miss our reservation,” said Ratie sarcastically as she frowned at Solcrist.
“ Oh that dragon mind of yours and its lack of wit never gets old, Ratie,” shot back Solcrist as he steered the Gatrage out over Peath lake as the sun was starting to set.
They flew for several minutes as the Vomics were digging their sleeping holes in the bottom of Spash and letting out melodic screams that stopped as they fell asleep. The demon on the front was now illuminated by a pulsing red light as it continued to expel flames. The white stone heads turned inward now and on the backs of them were blinking red, green, blue, and turquoise lasers shooting straight out in every direction as the rest of the castle was filled with small balls of floating fire in each window.
“ What’s our plan of attack?” asked Mench as she looked at Spash and felt a strong sense of terror.
“ We’ll fly right up to the left side there and then use a cloaking spell to get us in unannounced. Then’s the fun part,” said Famaron sternly then he let out a sigh and then said sternly,” don’t leave anyone behind. If it were you you’d pray with all your strength that someone would come back for you.”
Everyone looked at him sternly and nodded and then Camtow said,” I’ll stay with the ship so it won’t get taken by them.”
“ That’s good thinking, Camtow, now for a little cloaking spell to give us secrecy. I’ll start with the ship,” said Famaron then he grabbed his staff off one of the thrones on the left side and then raised it and shouted,” You were you aren’t sopat!”
Then a red lightning burst enveloped the outside of the ship and all’s that could be seen was a single puff of red smoke. Then everyone smiled and Famaron raised his staff and shouted,” We were blamos invisible!”
Then he pointed his staff at each of them as a green round beam came out of the tip of his staff that as it hit each of them their bodies were sucked into it and left only them behind. Then Famaron pointed it at himself and felt a chill and looked around and saw everyone inside the invisible realm as smoky images of themselves with circles pulsing from their eyes and mouths. They also had a black top hat of fire on each of them and red robes.
“ This is the sickest thing I’ve ever seen. I could live in here,” said Ohgood in amazement as he looked at everyone and smiled.
“ For once you are right, Ohgood, this is truly coolsville. How long will it last, Famaron?” asked Ratie as she stared at her arms and marveled at the red bursts of light coming from them.
“ We’ve got about 2 hours and then we’ll pop out of here and be normal again. Well, I can’t promise anything, Ohgood,” said Famaron jokingly as he laughed to himself.
“ Hey, that wasn’t nice, ahva,” said Ohgood in a little kid’s voice as he walked sideways over to Famaron and left his mouth wide open.
“ Then we go now, before we can’t. We’re at the castle now let us get to the off ramp immediately,” said Solcrist forcefully as he steered the ship right up next to a white marble balcony.
Then everyone hurried out of the ship with staffs in hand as Camtow stayed behind to keep a lookout. The balcony was covered in dozens of green, blue, and white 3 foot marble statues of Spash each showing him at a different stage of development. In between the statues there was a 3 level 10 foot long Zoonug
table, which was made from dark brown smooth mahogany and had on each level a different part of the maze, with clear windows on the sides to see in.
Zoonug was a 2 person game where you each controlled an animatronic 10 inch robot that could be anything from a 2 legged dragon to a wizard or even a Vomic with bright red flowing hair as well as many other things. You each started at the same spot and used joysticks to move your robot and fight off the various creatures in the game as well as each other as you raced to the treasure chamber at the very bottom.
The walls of the castle were white marble and had 15 foot tall oval shaped windows with golden trim. The deck went all around the outside of the castle and there were dozens of large perfectly round thick dark brown wooden doors with phrases like,” My mind has no place to go,” burned into the wood.
“ Everyone follow me inside and don’t be fearful of speaking they won’t be able to hear us while we’re in this realm unless we look them in the eye,” said Famaron sternly as he looked thru a window and saw several men and women dancing above the floor on a pocket of yellow air with a massive green dragon lying on the floor behind them eating a giant slab of red bloody meat.
“ And if we do then what?” asked Ohgood in a concerned tone as he looked in the window and smirked.
“ Fight like the fiercest being to get back to the ship. If it comes down to the Seav glasses or our lives, I like breathin’,” said Famaron snidely as he looked over at Ohgood.
“ Yeah, yeah I like it too second only to eating and laughing at Ratie,” said Ohgood smoothly as he eyed a beautiful young blonde woman doing spins in the air and singing named Vactorio.
“ She sure is pretty, Ohgood, and women love it when you stare. So go ahead and burn a few more holes in their heads we’re not BUSY or anything,” said Mench then pinched Ohgood’s chest and glared at him.
“ Y
ou’re right, I should keep staring,” said Ohgood sarcastically as he grinned and watched Mench shake her head.
“ Let’s hit it, remember no eye contact when you’re speaking,” said Famaron sternly as he gave everyone a look.
Then Famaron eased the door open and went into the ballroom. It had a 1500 foot long marble dance floor in the center with 5 large living areas around it. Each of the living areas had couches, refrigerators, and tables filled with food as well as holographic movie projectors next to the walls. There was a large stage on the far end of the room with the band,” Missing Teeth Found Quarters,” playing a loud rock and synth song as large green robs of light floated around the room illuminating it. The walls had the wizard’s oath written beneath a massive 4 wall mural of the Docub sisters.
The wizard’s oath is as follows, I will never use magic unless my life is in danger, I have no other means of travel or there is absolutely no other options a rational man would come to. I will only use the exact power of spell warranted to remedy a situation and if I use more for selfish reasons, I will either reprimand myself or face the wrath of other wizards. I know that the ability to do magic is a gift and not a right and I will take the learning of spells as a joyful task accepted by me and all my brothers in wizardkind. I also accept my right to wage war if all other actions for peace have been exhausted. I am wizard, I know magic, I’ve become everything.
“ Don’t bump into anyone it could be disastrous,” said Famaron sharply as he walked into the room with everyone following close behind.
“ That’s understood, where do you think they keep them. Actually better question what do they look like?” asked Ohgood as he looked around the room.
“ The first question was the only valid one, because the Laru shows us where they are and it looks like they are right above us. Let’s find a staircase and be quick about it, time is not on our side follow me,” said Famaron as he looked at the Laru and then started across the room, but as he did one of the dancers lowered down in front of him from the group dancing above.
It was a long green haired older woman in a red silk dress with a black cup of Sceami beer in her hand, which was a pale ale with no aftertaste and a thick foam. She was named Lettu.
Lettu took a sip from her Sceami only inches from Famaron and as he went to go past her she moved right in front of his path.
“ Be careful Famaron, step back slowly,” pleaded Solcrist as he pulled back on his shirt.
Then Famaron slowly moved backwards, but Lettu started to go the same direction and was just about to bump into him when she stopped and shot back her beer. Famaron hurried out around her as everyone else did and went thru an archway into the Spash museum.
It had hundreds of paintings on its walls, as well as ancient statues everywhere you looked. There were also golden dragons playing poker at a diamond encrusted table in the center, with all of them cheating and hiding cards under the table in between their toes in the center of the room that had each dragon towering 30 feet in the air. There were robots from yesteryear milling about the room doing odd tasks like smoking cigarettes and singing accapella songs. The ceiling rose up 200 feet and there was a 40 foot wide large carpeted red spiral staircase in the center that had 4 offshoots at the top to 4 different parts of the upstairs with a statue of Spash at the bottom in green marble.
“ It’s up those stairs and to the left,” said Famaron as his eyes darted around the room.
Then in front of them they saw an elderly woman in the invisible realm staring at them with a blank look on her face and she asked,” Which way to the bathroom, could you tell me?”
“ Ah…yeah it’s back thru there and to the left, see ya,” said Ohgood slyly as he grinned and looked at everyone then her.
“ Thank you handsome, I thought it was in here somewhere hidden in here behind a statue, tough luck for me he haw,” said the elderly woman excitedly then she hurried away.
Everyone watched her go and then looked at each other in shock and Solcrist said,” We are not exposed, not yet, but now we know there are wizards here and we must be mindful.”
“ Well if that happens again my head is going to burst. I don’t need stress like that in my life,” said Ratie nervously as she clutched her stomach and exhaled.
“ Neither do I, let’s hurry and oh nice work, Ohgood,” said Famaron then he raced for the stairs.
They hurried up the stairs as a few people walked down and past them without noticing them. Then Famaron checked the Laru’s map and said quickly,” It’s to the left at the top of this section of stairs. Then we should be able to find them easily.”
“ I’d like to easily find Ohgood’s naked butt beside me as I wake up hmm, Ohgood?” asked Mench.
“ Ya know at this moment that’s exactly what was going thru my mind. That and our impending deaths wow, are we related?” asked Ohgood sarcastically then his mouth dropped and looked at Mench wide eyed with his tongue out.
Then a couple of beautiful young brunette women came bouncing down the stairs as they giggled. Everyone got out of their way, but Solcrist didn’t move fast enough and he brushed Amke’s shoulder and she looked around and then asked,” Is there a breeze in here?”
Solcrist looked back at her in shock and Ratie said,” Don’t worry, Solcrist, she doesn’t know.”
Solcrist looked at Ratie as the other girl said as she giggled,” Stop kidding around I want to get something to eat.”
Then Amke smiled and said,” Yeah, I’m starving I’ll race you to the bottom.”
Then they ran down the stairs and started back up, but Amke glanced over her shoulder back up the stairs.
At the top of the first section of stairs there were the 4 separate ascending staircases to the 4 different parts of the castle with each holographic painting of Spash at the top of each that were 15 feet wide and 20 feet tall and showed different turning points from throughout his life, with one depicting him killing 30 wizards at the age of 10 with his first staff. The walls in between were covered in a red wallpaper that had golden animals like dragons and Palamans moving thru mini movies as a spell had been cast on it.
Everyone got to the top of the stairs and saw 6 large dark brown and dark blue wooden doors spaced out over the 150 foot long hallway. The ceiling was 30 feet high and had several green chandeliers every few feet with yellow sparkles of light falling down from them
“ It looks like it’s the second from the left,” said Famaron as he quickly walked down the hall.
“ I don’t think so,” said Ratie as she pointed to Spash coming out of that doorway wearing the Seav glasses.
“ What do you mean?” asked Famaron as he looked up from the Laru at Ratie and then she turned his head with her hand and he said softly,” OH, that’s really unlucky.”
“ Well, by the look of him and that golden staff he’s carrying I’d guess this is his house,” said Ohgood as he eyed Spash’s staff.
Spash was 5’7” and weighed 175 pounds of lightning quick. He had long wavy black hair and warm light blue eyes. He also had a prominent sloping nose with indentations on either side of it that women found attractive. He had wide strong hands and long feet. He had on a red, blue, and green spotted and square covered dress robe that had a shirt built into it that was black and made of cotton with red buttons up the front. He also had a half pound red diamond inside a golden trio of claws on a shiny golden necklace that had a circle of clouds around the diamond that shot out tiny bolts of lightning. He also had on red leather boots with the words,” She broke my heart, but spared my neck so I married her sister and dined on her death,” written around the center of the ankle high boots. The staff in his hands was filled with a red mahogany center and covered in 24 carat gold that showed the carrying of the long since disappeared red staff of Simis, which was believed to have b
een more powerful than 3,000 wizards combined.
“ I’d venture to say you’re right, which makes twice in the past 8 years. Nice work, Ohgood, you get a pillow to sleep with tonight. No more hard metal boxes to rest your head on, no sir it’s pure heaven now,” said Famaron sarcastically as he grimaced at Ohgood.
“ Is that a promise?” asked Ohgood eagerly as he tried not to smile.
“ Here he comes,” said Ratie quickly as she eyed Spash who was humming a song he’d written titled,” Why I’m still the best at everything.”
“ What difference does it make, Ratie, we just can’t snatch them off his face,” said Solcrist as he shook his head at Ratie and smirked softly.
“ Why not, does everything become invisible if it’s on our person?” asked Famaron frantically as he looked at Solcrist.
“ Ah, actually yes if you put them on your face they would disappear into this realm. Why don’t you grab them, but let us get to the stairs first to ease your and our escapes,” said Solcrist then he motioned with his hand for everyone to head towards the stairs.
“ I’ll do just that, those days stealing my father’s wallet are finally paying dues, I love it,” said Famaron nervously as he let out a sigh.
Then everyone quickly made their way to the stairs then turned around and watched as Spash headed towards Famaron.
“ A gold brick says he gets caught and we have to fight our way out of here,” said Ohgood slyly as he looked at everyone.
“ I’ll take that bet, old Famaron is wiser than you think. He will find a way to lift the glasses and escape without confrontation. I know it better than my own name,” said Solcrist sternly as he glared at Ohgood.
“ So there’s no chance he gets ‘em. Alright you got a bet, come on Spashy,” said Ohgood jokingly as he grinned and rubbed his hands together.
Spash walked briskly towards Famaron and just as he was about to walk within arm’s length, he stopped and shook his right index finger and said sadly,” I almost forgot.”
Then Spash smiled and turned around and headed back the way he came. Famaron looked at this wide eyed then at everyone else and threw up his hands.
“ Follow him, we don’t have much time!” yelled Mench as she secretly worried they’d be exposed and wanted to leave immediately.
“ Yeah, Famaron, she’s right we’ll wait here!” said Ratie loudly as she grimaced.
“ O.K., but if I don’t come back in a couple of minutes come get me,” said Famaron loudly then he went after Spash who was unlocking a door as he turned.
“ He could be in deep trouble I don’t think we should wait this far away, seriously,” pleaded Ohgood as he frowned at Solcrist.
“ Ah…you’re right let’s get a bit closer hurry now,” said Solcrist then he and everyone else hurried after Famaron.
Spash opened the door and walked into a gold encrusted room that had a 30 foot wide square blue bed next to a massive T shaped window that faced out the same side of the castle as the Gatrage was on. There were also a pair of golden couches with burgundy plush cushions built into them on either side of the room. In front of each couch there was a petrified baby Vomic table with a hard wood top that had glass cases filled with warm meals like Vomic burgers and Sas berry pie, which was a purple berry that tasted like nothing on Earth. In the center of the room was a pyramid shaped brown leather case with silver circles on all 4 sides and a beam of light coming out of the top. The floors were covered in a Vomic feathers rug that was super soft. On all 4 walls were dozens of staffs and various other wizardly wares like robes and daggers that had spells cast on them.
Famaron walked in behind Spash just before the door slammed shut and took a look around at the gold walls and said softly,” It’s good to be king.”
“ Now to get my love potion. All the ladies love Spash they just don’t know it,” said Spash slyly as he pressed his hands to the sides of the pyramid shaped case.
“ Oh that’s really good, Spash,” said Famaron as he let out a sigh and rolled his eyes.
A pulse shot out of the pyramid case and filled the room with light as the top section of it lowered inward and the 4 walls of the case slid down revealing 2 dozen golden and black glass flasks filled with various potions from poison to the aforementioned love potion. Spash grabbed the black leather encased glass flask and opened it and took a quick drink. Then his hair curled up slightly and he grew 2 inches with a glowing set of white clouds filled his eyes and he set down his staff and said snidely,” No woman can resist me now or die she will.”
Then Famaron walked right up next to him and realized he needed to set his staff down and use both hands to take the Seav’s.
Meanwhile outside the room Ohgood and Solcrist were trying in vain to open the door as it was locked.
“ Now what, he could be fighting for his life right now and we can’t help him?” asked Ratie nervously as she looked at Ohgood.
“ I don’t hear a struggle in there, which could mean Famaron hasn’t tried to take the glasses yet,” said Mench as she put her ear to the door and then looked at Solcrist.
“ That’s true, but what if he can’t unlock the door from the inside?” asked Solcrist as he furrowed his brow then pursed his lips.
“ Then if we hear anything we’re gonna have to blow this door open,” said Ratie forcefully as she looked around and then saw a long legged brunette named Quosh walking down the hall towards them and said quickly,” we’ve got company.”
Then everyone backed away from the door and up against the railing. Meanwhile inside the room Famaron was just about to take the Seav’s when Spash turned his head and let out a sigh right in Famaron’s face and he smelled Spash’s bad breath and said,” You need to brush more,” as he grimaced.
Then Spash hurried over to the Vomic table on the left and pressed a black button on top and up out of the table rose a small wooden oval box with dragons designs on the top and sides that showed the dragons mowing the lawn in dress suits.
Spash grabbed the box and as he did it popped open and a white crystal statue of an elderly woman on top of a dragon rose up and he grabbed it and jammed it into his eye socket and into his brain. Then his eye popped back into place and a hologram of the river Dermus came out of his eye and it showed his massive army of robots on dragons and gargoyles in Meheluxs next to it.
The river Dermus was near the portal to Permea and was a bright orange river of dense magic.
“ Soon my brothers will be free from the Corementh and then you my lovely army of death will aid us in our destruction and takeover of Permea. We will never be deceived again!” shouted Spash as he smiled menacingly and glared at his army loading up their ships with massive dense magical energy bombs and troops.
“ You monster,” said Famaron breathlessly then he reached out and grabbed the Seav’s.
“ What, what was that who’s in here!” shouted Spash as Famaron ran over and went to grab his own staff, but accidentally grabbed Spash’s and as he made for the door Spash began reaching out and punching the air and shouting,” give me back the Seav’s or you’re dead! Right now you miscreant!”
Then as Famaron went to open the door Quosh threw it open and said in a sultry voice,” We’ve got babies to make, my lover.”
Then she walked in and Famaron brushed past her and she looked around and Spash shouted,” Shut the door quick!”
“ Oh, honey, so forceful,” said Quosh in a sultry voice as she smiled and then walked over and shut the door as Spash hurried over to her.
“ Are you still here you swine?” asked Spash sharply as he continued to punch the air and raced around the room.
“ What’s this swine talk, I thought you liked me. I go to all this trouble to put on your favorite red silk mini and you’re acting like a weirdo. We’ll if
you want me you better tell me quick or I’m leavin’ your crazy butt to beat up the air, well?” asked Quosh defiantly as she put her hands on her hips and grimaced.
“ Show yourself to me now!” shouted Spash as he frantically looked around the room and batted at the air.
“ Oh baby, you want to play a little game eh, works for me,” said Quosh as she grinned in a sultry voice then she began taking off her dress and her 4 inch black heels.
“ I’ve had enough of this let me see you now!” shouted Spash as he squinted.
“ Give me a second,” said Quosh as she took off her black bra and then her black silk panties and then said warmly,” alright, lover, I’m ready for you.”
Then Spash looked over at Quosh’s beautiful naked body and said sternly,” Get some clothes on that body I’m in crisis right now, Quosh.”
“ What well then screw you. I thought I meant something to you,” said Quosh as she teared up and picked up her clothes.
“ Oh, Quosh, I’m sorry just give me a minute and I’ll make it up to you,” said Spash apologetically as he walked over to her.
Meanwhile Famaron and everyone else were racing down the last of the staircase with Famaron wearing the Seav’s and clutching Spash’s staff. They ran back into the room with the floating dancers and as they did Ohgood looked one in the eye and popped out of the invisible realm, as did Ratie simultaneously. A few people saw this and were shocked by it and pointed.
“ Keep those legs pumpin’, Ratie, or we’re cooked!” said Ohgood as he grabbed Ratie’s hand and kicked a man who tried to grab him in the chest, knocking him on his back.
“ I will if you will I just hope the ship’s still there,” said Ratie as she ducked a person’s feet who was coming down from above.
A few people started to shout,” Stop them,” as everyone ran the last few feet to the deck doors.
Ratie threw the door open and asked,” How will we know where it is?”
“ We will have to guess,” said Ohgood then he felt someone grab his arm and when he turned to look saw no one and then said slyly,” or not, watch this.”
Then they ran and were pulled right into the Gatrage by Famaron and Mench and a second later the ship’s doors closed behind them.
“ That was really fun, but I can’t hear or see anyone. What are we supposed to do?” asked Ratie as she looked around.
“ I don’t know it feels like the ship is moving, which means Camtow has started our escape. Ah, let’s go talk to her,” said Ohgood then he felt a hand squeeze his butt and then he said wryly,” well, Mench, made it back safe.”
Then they walked into the ship’s command center and saw Camtow smiling and then she asked slyly,” I heard you come in, but where’s everyone else hiding?”
Then Famaron and Solcrist popped out of the invisible realm and Famaron said simply,” In plain sight.”
“ Hey there handsome, I did just what you said and made sure no one boarded and yet kept an eye out for you. So when I saw Ohgood I opened the doors,” said Camtow then she kissed Famaron passionately.
“ What about Mench, why hasn’t she popped out yet?” asked Ratie as she sat down and sighed heavily then smiled.
Then Ohgood felt his butt get squeezed again and then he laughed and Mench appeared and said slyly,” I couldn’t resist, that toushey is too cute. Alright, so I see, Famaron, you’ve got yourself a new pair of glasses. How do we know if they work, I mean we were able to cast a spell to make ourselves invisible?” asked Mench as she looked at the glasses.
“ They weren’t on, look at the red button on the side. Try pressing and then casting?” asked Solcrist as he grinned and sat down.
“ How do you know that?” asked Ohgood as he frowned at Solcrist.
“ I read it in the Laru, oh you underestimate a seasoned mind, young one,” said Solcrist slyly as he let out a belly laugh and smiled.
“ Is that it, let’s see,” said Famaron as he inspected the Seav’s and then pressed the red button and instantly there was a smell of Gack burgers in the room.
The Seav’s themselves had a white glow to them.
“ Now that’s a cool set of shades. Put them on,” said Camtow excitedly as she smiled.
“ Let’s try these out,” said Famaron as he put them on then smiled and saw that he could see blue glowing energy outline coming off of everyone and then said softly,” someone cast a spell quick.”
“ I’ll take care of that, let me find my staff,” said Mench then she picked it up off a chair and then raised it and shouted,” Tepics tomos be stricken!”
Then a single puff of smoke came out of the staff and Famaron saw the magical energy pulse out, but then went back into the staff quickly and then Mench said happily,” Well I’ve never seen that before.”
Ohgood smiled and then looked at Camtow and saw her begin to shake and asked nervously,” Are you alright, Camtow?”
“ NO,” said Camtow sharply then a series of red circles came out of her body.
“ What’s happening?” asked Ratie anxiously as she hurried over to Camtow.
“ The Domystic is taking her, there is nothing we can do,” said Solcrist sadly as he teared up.
“ I don’t get it how could it take her, we’re all fine?” asked Famaron defiantly as he clutched Camtow and then said frantically,” please hang on, Camtow, please it’s alright,” and then he glared at Solcrist and shouted,” do something, Solcrist!”
Then Camtow’s body began to turn into tiny orange beads of light as she shook violently and Solcrist wept and said sadly,” There is nothing I can do for her I’m sorry. I loved her too, Famaron.”
“ Oh, Camtow, don’t disappear, I need you! Stay here ahh please stay,” pleaded Famaron as the orange beads began floating away.
“ This is terrible, Ohgood, I can’t watch this,” said Ratie sadly then she left the room as she cried.
“ Please, Camtow, stay here I won’t be the same without you,” pleaded Famaron as he held her, but as he did suddenly it shattered and all the beads of light floated up to the ceiling and went threw it leaving Famaron staring up at a ball of orange light that was halfway thru the ceiling.
Then the ball blasted thru and a round golden locket fell to the floor. Famaron walked over and grabbed it and then opened it. There inside was an inscription that read,” I miss you already.” This caused Famaron to weep and shake.
