Chapter 31

“I wonder how Ed?”Alberto asks Dagon. “Hard to say.”Replies Dagon. “It probably be a surprise to him.”Said Alberto. Dagon nods his head in agreement.

 (Month went by.)

 Dagon sees Aella walking towards him. “How was the month of sleep?” Dagon asks her. “Good, it feels so relaxing after you come around.”Replies Aella. “It sure does. I will tell you what we did while you slept.”Said Dagon as he tells her what they did. “I am glad you are able to throw the party for the kids.”Said Aella. “Do you remember the books I brought back from the aliens?”Dagon asks Aella. “Yes, I do.”Replies Aella. Dagon explains what he and Alberto done. Aella was in shock to hear this. “To bad I wasn’t around to see it,” “said Aella. “So you are not angry at me?” Dagon asks her. “No I am not.”Said Aella. Dagon smiles at this.

 “How are you feeling?”Aella asks him. “Good, I am not feeling the pain at all. I am only feeling the baby moving.”Said Dagon. “We have enough kids.” Said Aella. “I agree.” Replies Dagon.

 (Later in the throne room.)

 “How was the month of sleep?” King Arthur asks the ladies. They tell him what they think about it. King Arthur smiles at this. He dismisses them as he sees Dagon and Aella entering the room. Aella tells him she loved the month of sleep. Few minutes later, a servant enters the room. “What is it?” King Arthur asks him. He tells what the workers found. “Please show me.” Said King Arthur as he follows the servant.

 Few hours later, King Arthur returns. “What is the problem?”Dagon asks him. King Arthur tells them. “How long do we have?”Dagon asks him. “I have no idea.” We better get stuff ready as well. I want you and Alberto to have a check up as well. Tell him as well what is happening.”Said King Arthur. Dagon nods his head in agreement. “I will go and find Alberto for you, Dagon.”Said Aella. “OK, thanks, Aella.” Replies Dagon as he leaves.

 (Later at Castor place.)

“What is it, Dagon?” Castor asks him. Dagon tells him what is happening. “OK, I want to do a check-up on you and Alberto.” Said Castor. “Aella is telling Alberto.” Said Dagon. Few minutes later, Alberto enters the room. Dagon tells him why they are here. “OK.” Said Alberto. Castor motions them to lie down, and Castor checks them over. “The babies are doing fine. If we have to leave the planet, I need to put you two in a pod. It will stop the growth of the babies until we reach a new planet.” Said Castor. “OK, how do we get into the pods?” Alberto asks Castor. ““Castor explains what he has to do. “We have no idea when the planet will break up.” Said Dagon. “It will be hard to tell,” said Castor. “I will make sure you are informed as well.” Said Dagon. “OK, sounds good to me,” replies Castor. “I better tell this to Aella about this.” Said Dagon as he leaves. “I better inform Bridget as well.” Said Alberto as he follows Dagon.

 (Two months later.)

“It sure feels like the planet is moving.” Said Alberto. “I agree. I just talked to my father, and he said it is getting worse. He wants us to see Castor as well.” Said Dagon. “OK, I am sure we have to go into the pods soon.” Said Alberto as they walk to Castor’s area. It doesn’t take that long to get there. “Good you are here. I already explained to Aella and Bridget what to do when you are both in the pods. It will take a while before you go to sleep.” Said Castor as he explains what he has to do. “Are you going to us at the same time?” Dagon asks Castor. “Yes once you are in a state, I will help you into the pod. Then I will give you the last elixir that will put you in so deep that it will look like you are dead. The pod will help you to breathe as well.” Said Castor. “OK can Aella and Bridget watch?” Alberto asks Castor. ““Yes they can, they are in the watching room. I have to do this in the pad room.” “Said Castor as he leads them to the room. He hands Dagon and Alberto some clothing. He explains what the clothing will do. They went and changed into the clothes.

 They return to Castor. “These feel weird.”Said Dagon. “They do. Once you’re asleep, you won’t feel them. Are you both ready?”Asks Castor. They both nodded their heads yes. Castor explains what he is going to do. He gives Dagon and Alberto the first elixir shot, and they head into the padded room. Castor closes the door.

“Are you able to hear me?” Castor asks them, “Yes we can.” Said Dagon. “Good. I am going to start the gasses now.” I want you both to walk around.” Said Castor as he works the controls. “What does the gas do to them?” Bridget asked Castor, “The first one will make them a bit dizzy and light-headed; the second one will make them a bit weak.” The third one will make them sleepily. The last one will put them into a light trance. Once they’re in the last stage, they will be in the pods for the last few elixirs.” Replies Castor.

 Both Aella and Bridget went to watch Dagon as Alberto walked around. “Please tell me when you are feeling dizzy.”Said Castor as he watched them. “OK.”Replies Dagon as he walks around. After a while, they start to feel dizzy. “The room is spinning.”Said Alberto.

 “OK, I am turning on the second gas.”Said Castor as he works on the controls. “How fast does the gas work?”Dagon asks Castor. “Pretty fast. You will also feel light-headed as well.”Replies Castor. They continue to walk around. After a while, they start to sway a bit. “How do you feel?” Castor asked them, “I am having a hard time to stand, and I feel so weak.”Said Dagon. “Same here.”Replies Alberto.

“OK, I am going to start the next gas. You will get a bit sleepily. ”Said Castor as he works on the controls. Do we need to walk around?” Alberto asks Castor. “No. Please stand still.” Replies Castor. Another two minutes.” Castor sees them almost asleep. “I am turning the last one on now. ”Said Castor as he works on the controls.

 “It is amazing they are still on their feet.” Said Bridget. “Same here.”Replies Aella. It doesn’t take that long for Dagon and Alberto to go into the trance. Castor puts on a suit and goes into the room. He gives them a shot. He leaves with Dagon. He helps Dagon into a pod. He motions to Aella to come over. She goes to where Castor is. “You can give him a kiss. He knows you are here.”Said Castor. “OK.”Said Aella as she gives Dagon a kiss. She notices a small smile on Dagon’s face. She steps back and watches Castor. He gives Dagon the last elixir and closes the lid. Castor watches until the lid comes clear.

 Castor went back for Alberto; he does the same thing to him as well. “How long will they be in the pods?”Bridget asked Castor, “Until we find another planet to live on.” Once they are on the ships, they will be hooked up as well.”Said Castor. “I hope we don’t have to do this all the time.”Said Aella. “I agree. We better tell my father.”Said Bridget as they leave.

 (Back to the throne room.)

 Bridget tells her father about Dagon and Alberto. “OK you have been assigned to ships, and your belongings as well.”Said King Arthur to Bridget and Aella. They feel a big quake. “I don’t think we can last much longer. We better head to your ships. We will be in radio contact as well.”Said King Arthur as he helps Queen Daphne to the spaceport. They see Bran there with the children. “I already explained what is going on.”Said Bran. “Thanks.”Said Aella.

 Castor joins them. “Both Dagon and Alberto are on board.”Said Castor. “Are we going on the same ship?”Bridget asks Bran. “Yes, Castor and I as well.”Said Bran as he leads them on the ship.

 After every got on the ships they take off. They headed into orbit. They watched the planet explode. “How long do we have to find another planet?”Aella asks Bran. “Hard to say. There are few planets that will work for us. It is closer to others as well.”Replies Bran.

 “OK, let’s hope it is a calm drive.”Said Bridget. “I agree.”Said Aella. They went to check on Dagon and Alberto. “They look so peaceful.”Said Bridget. “I agree as well.”Replies Aella. Castor smiles at this. “They can hear you. They might have dreams as well.”Replies Castor.

 (Six hours in the journey.)

 They feel the ship moving around too much. “Bran what is going on?”Aella asks him. “We hit a meteor shower.”Replies Bran. Aella notices Bridget’s necklace. “I think your necklace wants to help.”Said Aella.

 Bridget looks at her necklace. She says some magic words, and there is a glow around the ship. After a few seconds, it has stopped. Bridget relaxes after that ordeal. “What caused it?”Bridget asks Bran. “I have no idea.”Replies Bran.

 “What cause our planet to explode?”Aella asks Bran. “My guess is the creatures that have been after Bridget and Dagon necklaces.”Replies Bran, “We don’t need them on our new home.”Said Bridget. “I agree as well. I am going to check on Dagon.”Said Aella as she goes where Dagon is. She sees Castor there. “How is Dagon doing?”Aella asks Castor. “Good even though we had a bumpy ride. He has been dreaming a bit as well. Same with Alberto.” Replies Castor. Aella watches Dagon for a while. She notices Dagon is in some sort of stress. She calls to Castor. and comes over, checks Dagon over, and puts a tube into the pod. He turns on the gas. “What does the gas do?”Aella asks Castor. “It will make Dagon relax a bit.”Said Castor as he watches Dagon. After a while, Dagon is in a relaxed state again. Castor turns off the gas. “It will be cloudy in there for awhile.”  Said Castor. “What caused Dagon to do that?”Aella asks Castor. “Hard to say. He might be able to dream when he came to twilight.” Replies Castor. “Could be. I don’t think he will remember the dream once he is awake.” Said Aella. “No, he won’t. You and Bridget should get some rest.” Said Castor. “OK, we will put the children down as well.” Said Aella as she leaves.

 (Two months went by.)

 “Still no luck?”Bridget asks Bran. “No, the planets are too big or really small. We can’t live on some as well.”Replies Bran. Suddenly an alarm goes off. “What is that?”Aella asks Bran. “It isn’t the ship. Go and check with Castor.”Said Bran. “OK.” Said Aella as she and Bridget went to Castor. “What is happening?”Aella asks Castor. Castor tells them, “Aella is in shock to hear this.” “Is Dagon OK?”Aella asks Castor. Castor explains what happened. “Do we have another pod?”Bridget asked Castor, “Yes, we do.” We better get to work.”Said Castor.

 They start moving the new pods into place. “Dagon will walk to the new pod; we have to help him as well. We better do Alberto as well. Once they are in the new pods, I need to give them gas again. Once they breathe the air, they will come around a bit.” Said Castor. “OK, we better start.” Said Bridget to Castor. He explains what they need to do.

 Both Aella and Bridget go and get the other pods ready for Dagon and Alberto. They went back to Castor. “The pods are ready.” Said Aella. “OK. Alberto is ready ready.” Said Castor as he turns off the gas. After the gas is gone, Castor opens the lid. He tells Alberto to stand. Alberto does what he was told. “We need to help him.” Castor as he goes behind him.

 Aella and Bridget take his arms. They help him to the other pod. Castor tells Alberto to sit down. Alberto follows the instructions. Castor gives Alberto another shot and tells him to lie down. After the shot takes effect and he is lying down, Castor closes the lid. He hooks up the hose and turns on the gas again.

“He is resting again. Now it is Dagon’s turn.” Said Castor as he walks back where Dagon is. Once there, he turns off the gas and waits until the gas is gone. “I hope it will be easy doing Dagon as well.” Said Aella as she watches Castor. He opens the lid. Castor instructs Dagon to stand up. Dagon does what Castor asks. They take their places. Once outside the room, Dagon’s necklace starts to glow.

 “What is happening?”Aella asks Castor. “I have no idea.”Said Castor. Bridget looks at her necklace, and it isn’t glowing. “Are you able to hold him?”Bridget asks. “Yes.”Replies Castor. “OK, I will check with Bran to see if there is anything outside.”Said Bridget as she leaves.

 After a while, she returns. She tells them what Bran said. “Will be able to speak if I tell him what to say?” Bridget asked Castor, “Yes, she returns.” She tells them what Bran said. “Will be able to speak if I tell him what to say?” Bridget asked Castor, “Yes, I am not too sure what will happen to him in this state.” Replies Castor. “He is trying to come around.” Said Aella. “I better do it before he comes around.” Said Bridget as she tells Dagon to say the words.

 Dagon repeats the words, and a bright light goes around the ship. “What is going on back there?”Bran yells to them. Bridget tells him what is happening. In a few minutes later, they feel the ship shake badly. “We are in another meteor shower. Whatever Dagon is doing is keeping the mentors off the ships.”Said Bran. “He is doing all the ships?” Aella said. “It is taking a toll on Dagon.”Said Bridget. “I agree, try to hook yours to him.”Said Bran. “OK, let’s hope it works.”Said Bridget as she says the magic words. Both Castor and Aella watch them. “Let’s us know when we are out of the meteor shower.” “Asks Castor asks Bran. “OK, I am sure you will know once they stop glowing.”Replies Bran.

 (Three Hours later.)

 Both Dagon and Bridget collapse. “We better get Dagon back into the pod.”Said Castor. “OK. We can manage. We will be back.”Said Aella to Bridget. “OK.”She replies weakly. Castor and Aella help Dagon back into the pod. They help him lie down. Castor gives him the shot and closes the lid. Then he turns on the gas. He watches until he is happy that Dagon is back in the state. “He might be sore once he is awake, or he might sleep a bit longer than Alberto.”Said Castor. “That spells sure a lot out of him. We better check.

 On Bridget.”Said Aella as she goes back where Bridget is. They help her to a bed, and she has fallen asleep. “She will sleep for awhile.”Said Castor. “I agree. I am going to tell Bran what they did. He might tell the others’ ships as well.”Said Aella as she leaves. It doesn’t take that long to get to the control area. Bran sees her. “How are they?”He asks her. Aella tells him. “Somehow Dagon’s necklace knew about that shower. Bridget’s didn’t glow until she hooked up to Dagon’s.”Said Aella. “I am glad that it warns us. Dagon probably will sleep a bit longer.”Said Bran. Aella nods in agreement. “Any news about the planet yet?”Aella asks him. Bran tells her about the ones they have seen. He also tells her which ones can have life forums on. “Sounds they are a bit small for

 Bran enters the back room. “Good news.”Said Bran. “What is the good news?”Aella asks him. Bran tells them. “That is good news. How long will it take us to get there?”Bridget asks him. He tells them. “Once we have the buildings up, then we can wake Dagon and Alberto up.”Said Castor. “Good idea. They are already working on your area as well as the castle and homes. Once we are there, it will be easier as well.”Said Bran. “How long will they be in the pods for?”Aella asks Castor. He tells her. “I understand. It will be safe for the unborn children as well.” said Aella. “When they are still sleeping, we will get your places up as well.”Said Bran. Aella smiles at this. “They will let us know when I can start waking them up.”Replies Castor.us.”Said Aella. “I agree as well.”Replies Bran.

 (Three months went by.)

“Good news: all the buildings are done. I can start to wake them up. Dagon might take a bit longer than Alberto. They will be confused and stiff. Once they are fully awake, they must try to walk around. ”Said Castor as he brings them to his area. “It will be nice for them to be up now.” Said Aella.

 “They will be a bit sleepily as well. After they loosen up, they will sleep for awhile.”Said Castor as he enters his place. He turns off the gas in the pods once the gas is gone; he opens the lids and gives them a shot. He explains what this elixir does. “It will be fast for Alberto.”Said Castor.

 After a few minutes, Alberto opens his eyes. He looks around, confused. “It is OK, Alberto. I will tell you later. You need to get up and start walking.” Said Castor as he helps Alberto up. He helps Alberto to walk for a while. Castor notices that Alberto is stronger. “You will sleep for a while before you are able to talk.” Said Castor as he helps Alberto into a bed. Alberto goes into a deep sleep.

 “How long will Dagon be out for?”Aella asks Castor. “Hard to say. He is trying to wake up. He will be weaker than Alberto. It probably will help faster if you visit him every day.” Said Castor. “OK, I can do that.”Said Aella. She sits beside Dagon and tells him.” What is going on? She notices some movement from D agon. “Is that normal?” She asks Castor. “Yes, he will move around a bit.” Replies Castor.

 (Couple days went by.)

 “I am glad Alberto is up.”Said Bridget. “Same here. I am hoping Dagon will be as well.”Replies Aella. Alberto comes over and looks at Dagon. “I thought he would be up at the same time.”Said Alberto. Aella explains what happened during the trip. Alberto is shocked to hear this. “He knows we are here.”Said Aella to Alberto.

 Suddenly Dagon lashes out. Aella steps back so she won’t get attacked. Castor and Bran “What is going on?”Bran asks them. Alberto tells them. They are shocked to hear this. “Is there a way to stop him from doing this?”Aella asks Castor. “Yes, there is.”He replies. He tells them what he must do. Aella is in shock to hear this. “Will he survive this?”Aella asks Castor. “Yes, he will. It will put him into a deep sleep for a while. You still can visit him.”Said Castor. Castor gives Dagon a shot. After a while, Dagon goes into a deep sleep. “He looks relaxed as well.”Said Aella. “He will be asleep for a while. I need to figure out why he acted like that.”Said Castor as he takes some blood from Dagon.

 (Later.)

 Castor returns to the room.” Did you figure out what is wrong with Dagon?” Alberto asks Castor. “Castor tells him. “Is there a way to stop it? ”Alberto asks him. “Yes there is. Does it work fast?”Aella asks Castor. “Yes it will. Dagon will be weak and in a daze for a while.” Replies Castor as he works on the cure.

 After a while, he is done. Then he gives Dagon the shot. After a while, Dagon opens his eyes and he is in a daze. “Try not to talk. I will help you walk later and explain later. Please go to sleep.”Said Castor as Dagon goes back to sleep.
