AUTHOR'S NOTE:

So…a lot has been happening which explains the long absence and lack of new updates to my stories. My grandfather passed away about nearly four weeks ago, so there was a lot going on there. Then things got busy with work and now, trying to be safe from COVID-19. But gonna keep positive and creative. Hopefully this won't last much longer and I hope everyone is being safe and keeping their hopes up.

So without further delay,

Here is a brand new chapter. Enjoy


A few moments later, Danny groaned as purple liquid fell on top of him. Thanks to Valerie hitting a bunch of large purple pods.

"What a fine mess you gotten us into Cujo." Danny grumbled.

"This place isn't so bad, I don't know why you make such a fuss Danny. I mean I have a hard time collecting eggs than this. Looks like this is gonna be easy." Valerie said with confidence, unaware that a huge mouth made of grass rose to try and eat her.

Cujo barked and Danny quickly blasted the grass with an ecto-blast, stopping it from trying to eat her.

"She's trouble! Trouble with a capital T." Danny muttered in annoyance.


Meanwhile back at the river, Bullet was finally spat out of the rocks mouth and joined Vlad, Skultech, Behemoth and Nocturne, looking for the sword. However, Behemoth was having a hard time trying to remember where he dropped the Soul Shredder exactly and Vlad was getting fed up already.

Blade Beak suddenly slipped down the hill and fell into a small puddle of mud, just in front of Vlad.

"Anything to report?" Vlad asked.

"It looks like the girl and some blind half-ghost hermit are following a ghost puppy that seems to know where the Soul Shredder is." Blade Beak reported nervously.

Vlad grinned and ordered, "We're going after them. They'll lead us right to the sword."

With that, the group left and began to track down Valerie, Danny and Cujo.


Meanwhile back in Camelot, the tower of the main hall was being prepared and some of the Knights had returned, with no luck of finding the sword. Ever since the sword got stolen, the rings that were carved on the stone the sword was originally in, began to glow and black vines grew on it.

Clockwork was finishing putting new bandages on Fright Knight's arm, as he sat down on his bed. It was wounded badly thanks to Behemoth and though it was already begun to heal, it was slow and it made Fright Knight a bit weak.

"Clockwork has there been any news? Have the Knights found the Soul Shredder?" Fright Knight asked his most trustful advisor and friend.

"I'm afraid not." Clockwork answered as he finished the sling.

Fright Knight stood up and said, "Then I must go after it myself."

However, he nearly collapsed and thankfully Clockwork caught him strongly said, "No! You must stay and regain your strength."

"Is there anything your magic can do for us Clockwork?" Fright Knight asked, after straightening up.

Clockwork simply said, "All you can do is rely on the courage of your people. Remember what I taught you, everything happens for a reason and whatever happens, is the way it's supposed to be."


Valerie continued to follow behind Danny and Cujo, heading for a smokier area of the forest. All of them were unaware that Vlad and his men had finally caught up with them, all of them chuckled darkly.

Danny sniffed the air and felt the ground. He could feel the dry earth and ash.

"What is it?" Valerie asked.

"We're in Dragon Country." Danny answered.

"How can you tell?" Valerie asked, amazed by Danny's skills.

"Being blind, I have learned to heighten my senses. You can smell the sulphur, gas geysers and feel the burnt ash that is on the dry ground." Danny answered.

Valerie was just amazed. They looked ahead to see Danny was exactly right. Out of the ground shot gas geysers as they continued to walk along. Climbing over skeletons and everything.

"We must be careful as we walk through here." Danny warned. "The ghosts of Dragon Country, have both a physical and a dragon form, they don't take kindly to trespassers walking in their territory."

Valerie continued to ask questions about this place, "You don't think we'll see any dragons do you? Is a group of dragons a pack or a flock? Or a pride?"

Danny stopped and said, "Quiet!"

"Did you hear something?" Valerie asked nervously.

"No. I just want you to be quiet." Danny answered with a smirk.

Valerie glared at him in annoyance and placed her hands on her hips. Valerie looked up at the clouded sky and could swear something was watching them from above. As she stepped backwards, he foot landed in something, she pulled her foot out and found she had stuck her foot inside a huge egg. Her boot was now covered in a sticky substance.

Danny continued to use his stick to see and listened for Cujo. Valerie suddenly saw a shadow fly over her and could see it was the shape of a dragon.

She turned and saw Danny was gone and shouted, "Danny! Where are you?!"

She ran over near a large empty egg and continued to look around for Danny, when suddenly she was pulled inside the empty egg. She sighed in relief when it was only Danny who pulled her inside. Danny shushed her and kept an ear out for Cujo or any sounds of dragons.

Valerie suddenly gasped and shouted, "Dragons!"

Two dragon like shadows could be seen on the wall and a female voice could be heard, "Where?! I don't see any dragons!"

Valerie turned to see two dragons in the large egg next to them. A female blue one and a purple and black one. Both Valerie and the blue dragon screamed, causing Valerie to fall out of the egg. Danny stood out and changed into his ghost form, ready to fight if they needed to.

But the two dragons made no move to attack them. Valerie then said to them in confusion as Cujo joined them, "But….you're the dragons."

"Uh oh! Um…Aragon, looks like someone has found our hiding place." The blue dragon said quietly.

"Just be quiet Dora! Let me handle this!" The purple dragon, Aragon snapped.

He then put on a deeper voice and tried scaring Danny, Cujo and Valerie off with shadow puppets, "Yes! We are mighty, ferocious ghost dragons! So go away before we burn you all to a crisp!"

"Wow! That's pretty good Aragon. Let me try!" Dora said in excitement.

She made her hand look a bunny and began moving her hand around. Aragon then said sarcastically, "Oh yeah! Sure! That'll scare them!"

Danny tapped the egg with his staff, causing both Aragon and Dora to pop their heads out. Dora pleaded, "Please don't hurt us!"

Danny scoffed and said, "And I thought you were ferocious ghost dragons."

"Well…..not exactly. The real ferocious ones are those fire breathing bullies that are flying around out there." Aragon explained.

"Oh I hate those guys! They're always pushing us around, calling us names….It's not exactly a good thing, considering what we are." Dora added.

"What do you mean?" Danny asked.

Dora and Aragon sighed as they climbed out of the egg, revealing that they were conjoined together as Dora answered, "Well….we're basically the reasons why cousins shouldn't marry."

They both then changed into their physical form, which revealed Dora wearing a blue medieval style dress and had blonde hair tied back in a braid. Aragon wore purple medieval clothes with a torn black cape and a grey crown on his head. What kept those two conjoined in their physical form, was a short golden chain connected to cuffs attached to their left wrists.

"Anyway, introductions. I am Dora…." Dora began to say with a smile and then frowned as she finished, "And this annoying hypocrite attached to me is my twin brother, Aragon."

Aragon frowned at that comment, before giving Valerie a kiss on her hand as he said, "But you can call me Aran for short."

"Yes. Short on wit, manners and charm. Everything which I hold dear." Dora mocked.

Aragon growled and yanked on her braid, causing her to yelp as he said, "How about holding your breath?"

"So, why are you two like that? Chained together in one form and then attached to each other in your dragon form?" Valerie asked.

"Well…As Dora said, we're basically the reasons why cousins shouldn't marry." Aragon answered. "We're not entirely sure why….but the ever since we were born, we've been chained to each other and when we're in our dragon form, were attached to each other at the hip."

"Come on Valerie. We need to keep moving." Danny said as he started walking away.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Aragon asked.

"To save Camelot." Valerie answered as she began to follow after Danny.

Suddenly, a huge roar could be heard. They all turned to see (except for Danny) another dragon in the air and it was mad! It immediately began to fly after them and breathe fire.

Valerie grabbed Danny's hand and began to run along with Dora and Aragon, who then changed into the dragon forms to run faster. They continued to run until, they reached a steaming acid pit, but Aragon Dora simply began jumping on the rocks to get across.

"Don't worry! It's perfectly safe!" Dora called out.

Danny however, dipped the end of his staff in the acid water and immediately pulled it out as soon as he heard it sizzle, indicating it melted.

"Safe?!" Danny said sarcastically.

He changed into his ghost form and picked Valerie up and began to quickly fly across the river, listening to the sound of Cujo's barks. All of them continued as soon as they got across to fly and run as fast as they could from their deadly dragon pursuers.

They ducked down in a ditch to avoid a massive burst of fire being thrown at them. Aragon then noticed a shadow in the sky.

"Not another dragon!" Aragon shouted.

Valerie looked and recognised the shadowy figure and shouted, "That's no dragon! It's Vlad Behemoth!"

Suddenly from the dust in another part of the cavern, came Vlad, SkulkTech, Bullet and Blade Beak came charging at them as she shouted, "Vlad! He found us!"

"Quick! Come down here!" Dora shouted as she jumped down a hole.

Valerie quickly grabbed Danny's hand and pulled him down into the hole along with Cujo, before Vlad could see where they went. Vlad and his goons found themselves now surrounded by the two dragons.

However, Vlad was unfazed by this and simply changed into his ghost form and pounded the dragon in the face with an energised fist.


They all screamed as they fell deeper and deeper into the hole, until finally they landed in what looked like a cave with several tunnels leading anywhere through Dragon Country.

"Are you sure we're safe down here?" Valerie asked.

"We're a lot safer down here than we are up here." Aragon answered. "We know all the best escape routes through these tunnels. We've been avoiding those bullies since we were 200 years old."

"Oh….we're we ever that young?" Dora said dramatically.

"Of course we were you moron!" Aragon snapped in annoyance. "Stop being so dramatic!"

"I am not a moron!" Dora snapped back.

"With all that bickering, I'm surprised you two haven't fried each other yet." Danny said, tired of hearing their constant arguing.

"Fry? We can't even simmer!" Dora said sadly and to prove her point, tried to let out some fire but only smoke came out.

"Yeah. You see unlike most dragons, she can't breathe fire or fly." Aragon explained as they changed into their human forms. "It's sad really, even for me."

Dora took offence and corrected her brother, "Excuse me Mr Self-Denial, but we can't breathe fire or fly."

"Only because you're holding me back!" Aragon argued.

He then began to think how great life would be, if he and Dora were separated from each other as he finished, "If I didn't have you, I could do a lot of things!"

ARAGON

I'd be rocking with the dinos!

Swinging with the rhinos!

Aragon was suddenly sitting in a nicely decorated cave, with a TV, dart board and everything and the best part was, no Dora!

I re-dragonise this cave in a minute!

Aragon! They would sing

Because I would be the dragon king

I would love this world without you in it

If I didn't have you

He looked at a lava lamp, but suddenly frowned as the slime inside took shape as Dora who was frowning back at him.

"If you didn't have me?!" Dora scoffed.

If I didn't have you!

Dora came up behind him and tapped his shoulder as she challenged, "Well how about if I didn't have you huh?!"

The two of them then began to believe that their lives would be so much better if they were longer stuck with each other.

DORA AND ARAGON

Oh what I could be

If there was only me

Oh what I'd do, if I didn't have you!

"Stop bickering and get your act together!" Valerie said, trying to get them to stop.

"Act! Did someone say act? I can act!" Dora said as she forced Aragon in a Phantom of the Opera costume and herself as Geisha, now picturing exactly what she would do if she was no longer chained to her brother.

DORA

If only I had separate parts

My career would be the arts

She carved a statue of Aragon and then deliberately destroyed it, before imagining herself as a star in the theatre of Camelot.

I'd be the star of Camelot

You'd be the half that the whole world forgot

If I didn't have you

"I should be so lucky!" Aragon said with pleasure as the two became chained to each other once again.

If I didn't have you!

They then began to think of ways to try and separate from each other such as a chainsaw and even attaching themselves on a log in their dragon form, as it was heading towards the giant saw cutting the log in half.

DORA AND ARAGON

Oh what I could be

If there was only me

Oh what I'd do, if I didn't have you

Oh what I'd do, if I didn't have you

"I've been stuck here with you for five hundred years." Aragon complained.

"Oh dear! It's learned to count!" Dora teased.

Aragon sat a witness stand in a court room as he said, "If I had gotten me a good lawyer, I would've split four hundred years ago!" Aragon argued.

Dora as she was dressed like a judge snapped, "Now listen here! I didn't come here to be insulted!"

"Oh! So where would you usually go?" Aragon asked as the scene changed.

Dora changed into her dragon form and breathed a massive blast of fire at the ground.

DORA

I'd be a fire breathing lizard!

Aragon was flying through the air as a balloon, while he pooped the balloon that looked like Dora.

ARAGON

I'd be one high flying wizard!

Dora scoffed and crossed her arms at her brother as they were once again chained to each other in their human forms.

DORA

You'd be nothing without me!

You'd be extinct! You'd cease to be!

ARAGON

I'm so tired of your nagging!

DORA

And I'm so tired of your bragging!

"Huh! Without me sister, you'd have no brain!" Aragon said while chuckling.

Dora put on a glove and stuck her hand inside her brother's head, which came through on the other side indicating he had no brains.

With which to think!

The two continued to dream of no longer being attached to each other and wanted nothing more, than to be free.

ARAGON AND DORA

I'd be rocking with the dinos (If only I had separate parts)

Swinging with the rhinos

I'd re-dragonise this cave in a minute! (My career would be the arts)

Aragon! They would sing

Because I would be the dragon king (I'd be the star of Camelot!)

I would love this world without you in it

If I didn't have you!

If I didn't have you!

"This way! Let me lead!" Dora complained as the two tried dancing, but it was hard because of their chain.

"No! This way twinkle toes!" Aragon argued as he pulled the other way.

Life would be so sweet

If these were both my feet

The two then appeared in there dragon form, only Dora was wearing a long black wig and looked like Cher and Aragon had a brown wig and moustache and looked like Sonny as the two began to sing together.

Oh what I'd do, if I didn't have you

I got you baby!

Oh what I'd do, if I didn't have you!

The two then appeared on a stage, dressed in wigs and sunglasses and one huge Elvis costume.

Well…..if I didn't….

If I didn't….have you!

The two then took a bow as they both said, "Thank you! / Thank you very much! Dora has left the building."

"Uh….you never sung before have you?" Aragon asked which caused Dora to punch him as the scene changed back to normal.

Valerie clapped for them, while looking at them strangely. Danny then said, "If you two are done, please lead us out through the tunnels."

Dora and Aragon changed back into their human forms and began to lead them through the tunnels and out of Dragon Country.
