The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (14 page)

King Haggoth told the squire and the spectators, “Listen, I think we are going to have an even more entertaining day. I will leave my throne. If anyone sits on my throne, there’ll be hell to pay when I get back. Guards, watch over the beast, and keep the spectators quiet and if any of them decide to up rise or act like barbaric, animalistic creatures, feed them to Bedlam, my pet dragon. Squire, keep the spectators entertained. Be fools like you are normally.”

King Haggoth jumped off of the throne and marched down the corridor. He marched like a crab with two legs. Every time, he would step the corridor would begin to shake. He said to himself, “Oh, I wonder who I am going to be dealing with now! Will, I be dealing with some sort of a crude or some sort of a fool. I bet myself for twelve billion gold coins that it’ll be that fool.”

King Haggoth with anger, irritation, and frustration punched the metal door three times. Meanwhile, in the dungeon, the guard was trying to suppress Tom Jackson. All of a sudden, a florid king filled with exasperation entered the dungeon and said, “It’s the fool! The one who I sentenced for Bedlam to execute after his friend was that jester. The complete, incompetent fool! Tom told the king, “I am no fool!”

The king said, “Yes you are a fool and you will always be known as a fool throughout this castle, throughout this kingdom, and kingdoms beyond. Your friend even thinks that you are a fool.” Some of it was a fallacy of what the king said to Tom Jackson. Tom’s friend doesn’t think that he’s a fool. His friend thinks the king is a fool and is nuts for sentencing him to this place. Now King Haggoth said to the guard, “Get the dunce cap, and paint his face, and march the hostile to the squire, spectators, and all of the souls that came from all over the kingdoms of our world!”

King Haggoth marched out of the area and returned to his throne. The guard put a dunce cap on Tom Jackson and followed King Haggoth’s every order. Eventually, Tom was marched down the corridor to the crowd of spectators, the squire, King Haggoth, and guards. King Haggoth said, “Well, folks, what do you think of this monstrosity? This thing is an abomination to the kingdom!” The people started to laugh at Tom Jackson as he was being humiliated In front of the whole crowd.

Then King Haggoth said, “Why do you think that this fool is funny? I thought he was a stupid thing. He was useless.” The people continued laughing. Then King Haggoth had an outburst. The ferocious king ordered the guards to throw him into the dungeon. The guards escorted Tom to the dungeon. Now, Iron Steel was to be executed right now for the crimes pressed by King Haggoth that the squire read to him. King Haggoth said to Iron, “You ferocious, malicious beast. Why did you cause terror in my kingdom? You destroyed three lives due to your rage and almost killed one soul. It is time to toss you to Bedlam.”

Bedlam looked like a sweet innocent dragon. However, now he started to bring terror to the castle. Bedlam had shape shifting powers where he could shape shift into another creature. Bedlam was very skillful at that. King Haggoth said to both dragons, “Get into your positions.” Both dragons entered their position of fighting. The dragons’ hands were in fists. Their tails all the way back. Their faces filled with anger. And, their claws sharpened.

Their chests were pushed out which meant, that their fire was ready. The king said, “Squire, read the rules of the duel.” One of the members of the squire read the rules of the game. That particular squire member started to clear his throat and, then read the rules, “Comrades, and Dragons. Here are the regulations for the game. The first rule is that fire is forbidden from usage. The second rule is that the soul has to be completely down and not breathing and then, the winner will be declared as a winner if this happens. The third rule is.”

Then that particular squire member asked King Haggoth, “What is the third rule?” King Haggoth answered with a sarcastic smile, “The third rule is to let the games begin!” Bedlam said, “Come to papa!”

Belligerent Bedlam said that which basically meant that he wanted war. Iron boldly said, “Hell to the no!”

Bedlam swung his tail at Iron Steel. Iron jumped up and flew up to the bell tower of the Magic Castle. Bedlam followed. While Iron was doing that, King Haggoth said, “This is what it’s going to be like eh. Too bad that tradition doesn’t allow me to change the rules of the game.” Bedlam followed Iron Steel to the bell tower in the Magic Castle. Iron told Bedlam, “You’re not going to win this one.”

Bedlam replied with a snicker, “Oh really. We’ll see about that.” Iron ripped the eight foot goldenrod bell and threw it at Bedlam.

Bedlam’s dragon wing was damaged. He (Bedlam) fell to the ground and bounced off of all of the towers and turrets of the Magic Castle until he finally landed in the arena. When, shape shifting Bedlam got brutally injured and fell to the ground in the center of the coliseum.

He shape shifted back to the “innocent” dragon that he is. The spectators in the crowd were very angry at Iron Steel. One of the spectators said, “Let’s throw stones at him.” Everybody was chanting “Kill the beast.” And, everyone was chanting that. Another one of the spectators retrieved stones. They started stoning Iron Steel.

King Haggoth announced, “That’s enough.”

As a result, the

stones hit King Haggoth’s head. Haggoth was escorted out of the scene by nurses. Iron reentered the coliseum and tried to aid the dying Bedlam.

Bedlam’s last words were, “You win. I forfeit my life.”

The

spectators threw stones at Iron Steel. As Iron was being stoned, he told Bedlam, “I’m sorry for what happened.” He told the spectators, “Cut it out!” The Spectators continued. When one of the spectators threw the stone at his (Iron’s) head, he died. The remaining squire members tossed him into the lake, where he drowned. Now that Iron Steel is dead, Tom Jackson started to plan his escape. Back in the dungeon, Tom Jackson was talking to himself as he was writing his escape plan.

Tom said to himself, “Okay, this is what I should do. First thing I will do is at night, when everyone is sleeping, I will use the remaining beard strand of that grotesque guard and, I will cut the bars on the windows with that beard strand. Once that happens, I will sneak through the corridor at night when everyone is sleeping. From there, I will get that scientist’s potion and, throw it on the floor.

Basically, I shall set up a booby trap. After that, I will break the glass on the scientist’s stain glassed window, and discreetly exit the castle building. From there, I will definitely go to the wizard’s house so that way I can build an orb to head back home. Then from there, I’ll jump into the lake by the Magic Castle. However, wait a second. I need an antidote in order to not get sick from the serpents. This is what will happen next. I will follow some of the criteria in the plan that I just said to myself. However, there’ll be changes. When, I am in the science lab I will find a potion that says S antidote. I know S-antidote means swamp sickness antidote.”

As Tom Jackson was saying all of this, he was writing it so he wouldn’t forget. As the afternoon turned into dusk, Tom was becoming excited to carry out and execute his plan. At around nine o’clock, he carried out his plan. He said to himself, “First thing, get that grotesque guard’s beard strand.” Finding the beard strand was like finding a needle in a haystack. It had taken him approximately two hours to find the beard strand. The beard strand was approximately three two six feet long.

A sigh of relief left Tom’s mouth. He started cutting the bars.

The bars were starting to break apart after a half of an hour of cutting.

He climbed through the dungeon door and started to walk down the corridor. Discreetly, Tom tiptoed through the corridor making sure that he wouldn’t make a peep. As Tom was walking a large shadow was shown right adjacent to him. From there, Tom entered Dr. Driek’s lab. Tom went to the sink where Dr. Driek kept his iodine.

Tom threw the iodine in front of the entrance. After, he did that task, he had started to raid the chemical shelf. There was an abundant amount of chemicals on the shelf. Tom Jackson first came across HO. Tom said to himself, “What does HO mean? Oh wait. Let me think. I now remember. HO was the chemical formula that represented Hydrogen and Oxygen. It’s hydrogen peroxide. I learned this in my eighth grade class twenty years ago. Granted, it doesn’t play a crucial role in my escape. However, it does play a crucial role in aiding the rust cut.” Tom threw the hydrogen peroxide on his hand and the rust cut was healed. The next thing that he did was find the S

Antidote. The S antidote was the swamp antibacterial medicine that would be the blockage to all germs in the swamp. Tom said to himself, “Perfect, this escape plan is working.” A snicker left Tom’s mouth and Tom Jackson continued, “What’s this, a note?” Dr. Driek left a second note. The second note said,
Dear Comrade,

This is a medicine that is only to be used when taking the S Antidote medicine. This medicine is only allowed to be used when escaping the Magic Castle in an emergency. If an escapee from the dungeon gets their hands on this potion, then the Magic Castle is in serious jeopardy. Every resident who lives at the Magic Castle will not be able to leave due to the fact that an escapee from the dungeon could’ve gotten their hands on this. If that happens, then we will not be able to leave the Magic Castle. First of all, there will be a compression of ideas in Science. Second of all, there will be absolutely no food production. Third of all, the population of mortal souls and immortal souls who live here will become extinct. So Comrade, beware of this medicine.

Your Scientist, Dr. Driek

Tom Jackson said to himself, “Whatever Dr. Driek said is absolutely meaningless and pathetic. It is time to use that. Besides, Do I care about the population residing at the Magic Castle? Hell to the no!” Tom opened the potion. When he opened the potion, an odious smell emerged. He doused himself with the potion. Tom said, “Steps one and two are complete!” He screamed, “I’m out! See ya’ suckers!”

He broke the glass on the stain glass window of the science lab and ran to the wizardry area, a couple of miles from the Magic Castle. The wizardry shop was located outside of the Magic Castle in Debonville.

Debonville is a town where a lot of wizardry and witchcraft had taken place. So, Tom Jackson went to Debonville, and entered the wizard shop. The wizard’s name was Foxworth.

Foxworth is a wizard that has gray hair and a long beard. The beard is half of the size of Haggelhoff’s beard. Foxworth was working by his cauldron. His cauldron was eight feet in diameter and three feet deep. There was green water in the cauldron. The Wizard turned around and said, “Who are you?” Tom said, “My name is Tom Jackson jr.” The wizard talked with an English British accent. Tom asked, “What is your name?” Foxworth said, “My name is Foxworth Bebbledartmer.” Tom said, “That’s a weird name. Can I call you just ‘Foxworth?’” Foxworth answered, “Sure. Do you want to get a tour of my shop?” Tom said, “Sure.” Foxworth wrote a poem about his shop.
Well you think I practice dark magic Why, I really do not
My magic is bright Magic

For the Good
,
People love me ‘cause I

help them But, whatever I do, it’ s for the goodness There are cauldrons galore From inside and outside the door The cauldrons brew. These potions are here For all the people that are dreary. They take people from Dimension to Dimension Outside of here Take you home
,
To and Fro and Everywhere. However, what do you want?

Tom said, “That’s a nice skit. I need a potion that will take me back to planet Earth where I was originally in.” Foxworth said, “That’s my newest potion. I think I can have that arranged. Let me look through my potion draw.”

He opened up his potion draw and then said, “Let’s see. Which potion for planet Earth can I find?” Tom said, “Is it in section E?”

Foxworth answered, “Why yes? You’re a brilliant soul, Aren’t you?”

Tom said, “Why Yes. Everyone says that to me all the time. Now, I need another thing besides a potion to bring me back to planet Earth. I need to save my friend who is deceased.” Foxworth said, “I have a medicine that brings people back from the dead. Don’t worry; it’s not a zombie potion. He will return back to his normal human self. This potion works on planet Earth.” Foxworth gave Tom both potions. Tom gave Foxworth a big thank you and Tom went on his merry way and found his friend. When he found his friend, he gave his friend the potion. A bright sun had shined on Tom Jackson and Iron Steel. Iron turned from a dragon to a human and he wasn’t so big any more. He was slender because of this potion. Iron said, “Where am I?” Tom said, “Thank goodness, you’re alive. And now, we are out of here.”

The two of them jumped through the orb and returned back to planet Earth. From there, they returned home to the town of California, New York.

Their lives were back to Normal. Since then, I haven’t heard from them one bit. Often, authors tell stories in first person point of view.

For the first few chapters, I told the story in my point of view.

However, I let it conclude from everybody else’s. This is a hybrid between a Sci-Fi, Fairy Tale, Action, Adventure book. My hope is this book will eventually become a movie. It is impossible for all of this to become a reality. There are no such things as dragons, serpents, or people with twenty foot long beards. This book demonstrates the wildest dreams that people have. And this book represents the crazy dream that I had.
