Chapter 27

"I’m going to let Mom know about this." Said Bridget. "I would suggest bringing a guard with you in case this happens again." Said Castor to Bridget. "OK." Said Bridget as she gets a guard with her. It doesn’t take that long to get to the main chamber. Queen Daphne sees Bridget entering. "What is it?" She asks her. Bridget tells her what happened to Alberto. "When did this happen?" Queen Daphne asks her. “I have no idea.” Castor is working to find a cure." Replies Bridget.

 "I hope he does. Any news on Dagon and King Arthur?" She asks Bridget. "Castor said Dagon will be around by tomorrow. I'm not too sure about Dad. Castor was able to give him the cure for that elixir." Bridget replies.

 (Next day. Bridget is back at Castor’s area.)

 "How are they?" Bridget asks Castor. "Good. Dagon is trying to wake up. I had to sedate Alberto. King Arthur he is still out cold.” " Replies Castor. Bridget sits with Dagon for a while. Aella comes in and sits with her. "I heard what happened to Alberto. I know he will survive this. He won’t leave you or his kids at all." Aella said to Bridget.

 After a while, they notice Dagon is awake but in a daze. Castor notices as well. He comes over and checks Dagon over. “"I want you to sleep for awhile. The elixirs aren’t out of your system." Said Castor to Dagon as he goes back to sleep. "It should be later today; he will be up and around."Said Castor. "Dagon will be in shock when he hears what happened to Alberto."Said Aella. Castor nods his head in agreement.

 "I hope there is a cure for what Alberto has." Said Aella as she looks at Alberto. "Me too. I hope they can find the persons who did it to him as well.”  Said Castor. Aella nods in agreement. Castor notices Dagon is fully awake. "How do you feel?" Castor asks him. "Good. That felt weird. I sure don’t remember anything at all.”" Replies Dagon. Castor explains what happened while Dagon was in the trance. Dagon notices Alberto. "What happened to Alberto?" He asks him. Castor explains what happened to him. Dagon is in shock to hear this. "What about my father?"Dagon asks him. "Good. I am sure he will come around later or tomorrow. You can get up. I would suggest getting a guard with you in case you are attacked as well.”" said Castor to Dagon.

 (Later.)

 Dagon enters the main chamber. Bridget and Queen Daphne see him enter. "Glad to see you. " Said Bridget. "Thanks. I heard what happened to Alberto. Anything new? " He asks them. "Not yet. Whoever did this to him sure disappeared real fast." Said Bridget as Cian enters the room.

 "I heard what happened to Alberto. I might be able to help out." Said Cian to Dagon. "How?"Dagon asks him. He explains what he can do. "I have heard about this elixir. He won't survive." There is no cure for it." Finishes Cian. "What do you need to do?" Bridget asks him. He tells her.

 Bridget is shocked to hear this. "You have a family. I would don't. I rather give my life up than see someone who has a family." Said Cian. "How are you able to change places with Alberto?" " " Dagon asks him." He explains what happens if he passes on.

 "You mean you can live one of us?" Dagon asks Cian, a bit confused. Cian nods his head yes and explains what it does. "Do you pick the person or what?" Dagon asks him. "No, I don't pick. I need to get the person ready when the time comes." Said Cian. "What are you thinking, Dagon?" Queen Daphne asks him. Dagon explains what he is thinking. "Are you sure? Once I start, I can't stop it."" Replies Cian to Dagon. "I am sure."Replies Dagon. "We better do this now. I will be putting you into a trance before I do anything else. It will work for both a human and a vampire." Said Cian to Dagon.

 Dagon nods his head in agreement. "If you are ready, please stand in front of me." Said Cian to Dagon. Dagon stands in front of Cian. Cian does a spell, and Dagon goes into a trance. Then he does his other job as well. Then he brings Dagon out of the trance.

"Once I pass on, you will probably go into a trance or pass out. You will sleep for awhile. Once you are under, we need to bond as well." Said Cian to Dagon. "OK, it will feel weird at first." Said Dagon. Cian nods his head in agreement. "I better explain this to Castor as well. " Said Cian as he leaves.

 (Later.)

Castor sees Dagon entering his area. "How did it go?" Dagon asks Castor. "Good, I even tried to talk him out of doing it." replied Castor. "I was in shock as well. How long will Alberto be in the coma?" Dagon asks him. Castor tells him. "Alberto will be sad that Cian took his place, but I can understand why as well. "Said Dagon to Castor.

 (Three days went by.)

Castor sees Dagon and Bridget entering. "Great timing; Alberto is almost awake." Said Castor. Bridget smiles at this." What about Cian?" She asks him. He tells her. "It is my guess that when I go into the trance or pass out, we will know that he has passed on," said "I want you to be with someone in case." Said Castor. Dagon nods his head in agreement.

 They hear Alberto groaning, and Castor went to check on him. "Take it easy." Said Castor as he notices Alberto is awake."What happened?" he asks them. "Don't worry about it. I want you to sleep for a while."Said Castor as Alberto goes to sleep. "I am glad he is

awake. How is my father doing?" Bridget asks Castor. "Good. Any day now he will be awake." replied Castor. "Let's take a walk with Aella, and we can explain what's going on as well," Said Bridget. "Good idea." said Dagon as they leave.

 It doesn't take that long to get to Dagon's place. Dagon and Bridget enter. "It is nice to see you," said Aella as she sees them enter. "Thanks, do you want to join us for a walk, and we will fill you in on some info?" Bridget asks Aella." Sure, I love that," replies Aella as she comes over. They head out. Both Dagon and Bridget tell Aella what Cian is doing. Aella is in shock to hear this. "Do you know how long you will be out for?"Aella asks Dagon. "No I don't. I am sure it will happen fast. Castor said he won't last much longer." Replies Dagon. "I wish there was another way. But I can understand why he did it." " Said Aella.

 Bridget sees a servant coming their way. "What is it?" Bridget asks her, She tells them. "OK. We are on the way,'" said Bridget as they head to Castor's area. Few minutes later, they are there. "Alberto is up, and I explained everything to him. And Cian just passed away. He left me intrusions to do with his body. I'm sure that is done; you might go into that trance."Said Castor. Dagon nods his head in agreement. "We better get started," said Castor as his job. "There is no point you being here until you are out. Alberto you are free to go. Stay with Dagon; you might have to help him here." Said Castor. "OK, I will," said Alberto as they all leave.

"Let's continue the walk; it might be easier for you, Dagon. "Said Aella. "I agree. I wonder how I will go into the trance." Said Dagon. "Maybe the same way when we became vampires," suggested Alberto. They walk and talk for a while. Aella notices that Dagon is slowing down. "What is wrong with Dagon?" Aella asks him. "I have no idea." he replies. Alberto turns back and watches Dagon. "If this is going into the trance, don't fight it." Said Alberto as he watches Dagon. "What happens if he doesn't go into the trance?" Aella asks Alberto. He tells her what he supposes she should do.

 They all watch Dagon. "I feel weird, but I can't explain it."Said Dagon as he tries to fight the trance. "I need to put you into the trance, Dagon." Said Alberto as he transforms. Before Alberto puts Dagon into the trance, Dagon goes under. "That took a bit longer than we thought."Said Alberto as he changes back to a human. "I agree; we better bring him to Castor now." Said Aella as she grabs one arm while Alberto takes the other. They walk to Castor's area. Castor sees them. "Did Dagon have trouble going into the trance?" He asks Alberto." "Yes, he did. Once I transformed, he went into the trance."Alberto replies.

 "Please help me with Dagon."Castor as he takes Dagon from Aella. They lay Dagon down on a bed. "I wonder how long he'll be like this."Said Aella as she looks at Dagon. "I am not too sure. Cian told me he will have dreams and move around a lot. If it gets too much for him I am suppose to sedate him until they bond."Replies Castor.

 "How is my father doing?" Bridget asks Castor. "Good, he is trying to wake up. It probably is later tonight before he is fully awake. " replied Castor. Bridget smiles at this. Suddenly Dagon is moaning. Castor checks Dagon out. "He is OK. I guess it is the bonding doing that." Said Castor. "I better let mom know about Dagon. " Said Bridget. As she leaves.

 (Later that night.)

 Bridget enters Castor's area. "Any news on my father?" She asks Castor. "He just woken up; he is resting now. Dagon is still in the trance. For how long, I have no idea." replied Castor. Few minutes later, Bridget sees King Arthur is awake. "How do you feel, dad?" Bridget asks King Arthur. "Good now. I have no idea what happened to me." He replies.

 "We really don't know," replies Bridget. Castor comes over and checks King Arthur over. "You can get up. Bridget and the others will fill you in on what has been happening." " Said Castor to King Arthur. King Arthur smiles at this as he gets up. On the way out, he sees Dagon. "What is wrong with Dagon?" He asks Bridget. "I will tell you later," said Bridget as she heads out.

 (Back at the main chambers.)

 Queen Daphne sees King Arthur entering. "I am glad you are awake," she said to him. King Arthur smiles. "Thanks, can someone please fill me in on what is going on?" " He asks them. Bridget tells him what happened and explains why Dagon is in that state. "I still don't remember who attacked me or put me in that room."Replies King Arthur. "I have an idea. It might work or not." Said Alberto.

 "What is your idea?" " King Arthur asks Alberto. He tells him his idea. "We can try it."Said King Arthur. "OK, I hope it works as well." Said Alberto as he transforms. "Please stand in front of me,"Alberto asks King Arthur.

 King Arthur does what he was asked. Alberto does the spell, and King Arthur goes into a trance. "You will remember what happened to you on the day you disappeared," said Alberto to King Arthur. Alberto sees that King Arthur is having problems remembering." "Can he go into a deeper trance?"Queen Daphne asks Alberto. "It might work, but I am not too sure if he will come out of it." Alberto as he brings King Arthur out of the trance. "Did it work?" He asks Alberto." "No, it didn't." " Said Alberto.

 One of the servants arrived. "What is it?" Queen Daphne asks her. She tells her, "I am on the way." Said Alberto as he follows her. It doesn't take that long to get to Castor's area. "What is it?" Alberto asks Castor. He explains what is going on with Dagon. Alberto looks confused at him. "I am wondering if Cian is trying to control Dagon while he is in the trance."" Said Alberto.” "Could be. He is doing it again." Said Castor as he looks at Dagon.

 Alberto watches Dagon as he moves around for a while before he wakes up. "Dagon?" Alberto asks him. "No it is Cian. We are bonded now. It will take a while to do this. I am able to hear and see what is going on when I am inside Dagon. I can help King Arthur as well." Said Cian to them. "OK, how long can you stay like this?" Castor asks him. Cian explains how long and what Dagon will do when he changes back and forth. "OK, better do it now." Said Alberto as he leads him to the main chamber.

 (Back at the throne room.)

 Once inside, Alberto explains what is going on. Cian explains what he is going to do and the things he needs. "Once it is done, you will be tired. It shouldn't take that long as well."Finishes Cian to King Arthur. Bridget and Aella went to get the things Cian needs. "Alberto I need your help as well." Said Cian as he explains what needs to be done. Alberto nods his head as he understands.

 Few minutes later, Bridget and Aella return. Cian sets it up. "Can you please stand in front of me?" Asks Cian to King Arthur. "Sure." Said King Arthur as he stands in front of Dagon/Cian. He does a spell, and King Arthur is back in a trance. Cian does another spell, and Alberto catches him and helps him lay down. "I want you to remember what happened to you on the day you disappeared." Asks Cian to King Arthur. King Arthur explains who attacked him and what happened after. "Anything else?" Cian asks him. "No." Replies King Arthur. Cian brings King Arthur out of the trance. Once he is awake, he is in a daze. Alberto and Bridget help him to get up and bring him to his quarters. Then they return. "I better go now. I am able to talk to Dagon while I am inside. He will be in a daze for a while. I will let him know when I need to use his body again." Said Cian as he vanishes. Dagon looks at everybody before he collapses. "Are you OK, Dagon?" Aella asks him. "I think so. "I am so tired." Replies Dagon in a bit daze. "You better get some rest. I will help you to your home. "Said Alberto to Dagon as he helps Dagon to walk.
