Disclaimer: Pendragon does not belong to me!

I know, you guys thought this was dead. I'm sorry, forgive me. Anyway, we're moving to Pahrump so i'll be in the same town as my boyfriend and my mom doesn't have to work 24/7. Anyway, here's my story! I made it long for being so late about it.

Journal One Part Three

Reignzar

We neared a ladder leading up to a trapdoor in the ceiling. "Well, that's origanal." Pendragon said in a dull voice. Valerie sighed and put her hands on her knees. "We climb this, and we're done. Hurry, let's get out of these. We look like peasants." I looked down at the really nice, comfy clothes. "Peasants? Hobey, I feel like a prince!" I said, very confised. Alder laughed. "Wait untill you see how everyone else dresses here. When I first saw the people here, I felt like a Milago miner." I had no clue what he was talking about. Anyway, we all climbed up the ladder and, Pendragon came up last. We entered a library, waiting for us was a tall man with short blonde hair and yellow tinted glasses. "Hello lady Valerie! You all must be other travelers! I'm Rugen, Valerie's acolyte. You may call me Sharpie, that's my nickname." Rugen, or Sharpie looked at me and said,"Garth Spader? What are you doing in those clothes. Shouldn't you be out in the back by now?"

This was pretty weird. "Garth?" I asked, this guy was crazy. "You know him?" Pendragon said to me lowley.

"What do you mean? Are you not Garth!" Sharpie said suprised, as if I were lieing to him. "Oh, no! Rugen, this is the traveler from Cloral, Spader. You've got them confused." Valerie said, she laughed and patted Sharpie's back. "Well, that's odd. You look exactly like Garth!" He said astonished. He seemed like the guy who was easy to impress. I can't wait to see him when I defeat Saint Dane, that scumbag, single handedly!

At that momment, the door swung open. Loor got into her battle stance, Alder tripped on himself, and Pendragon and I just stared. Valerie waved and said,"Hello there Garth!" This guy, or Garth, had long black hair with almond shaped eyes. He was wearing a blue and black wetsuite and had a bit of a tan. "It's like i'm seeing double!" Sharpie said, fumbling with his glasses. Pendragon nodded in agreement. I thought we didn't look-a-like at all.

Garth couldn't stop stareing at me, and neither could I stop stareing at him. We shared eye contact for the longest time. "Erm... Spader?" Pendragon asked. This next part, is as weird as it gets. "What?" Garth and I said in unison. "Huh? No I mean Spader." "I am Spader." We both did it again! We looked at eachother and pointed at ourselves. "No, i'm Spader!" We switched to pointing at each other. "Your not!" Loor scratched her head. "You both are Spader?" "Were you two... cloned!" Alder asked, for Alder had spent a weekend at Mark's house with Bobby learning the mysteries of Star Wars.

"V-Vo?" He stuttered. "I-Is that really you?" Now everyone but Valerie and Sharpie looked confused, they looked like they were hiding something. "I never told you my name." I said shakily. "Who are you?"

I was completley shocked, this guy, who I've never met in my life, runs up to me and hugs me. I mean, he squeezed me tight and buried his head into my neck. "Huh-- What are you doing?" Pendragon shouted. I really didn't mind, don't get me wrong, i'm not getting an intrest in this guy. No way. Something felt comforting though, and I was about to figure out what it was.

"Oh, I thought I'd never see you! My brother, if only father didn't take me from you! Now, you must tell me everything! How is miss Yenza doing?"

Woah, woah, woah. What? How could he possibley know you, or my father, or me! And he called me brother!

"What do you mean?" I asked. "How did you know my father? I have no syblings!" I was starting to feel scared. I didn't know why, I just was. Garth sighed wiped his eyes, it looked like he was on the verge of crying."You don't remeber your own flesh and blood? Vo, you don't--" Valerie cut him off. "You two should talk about this in private. You should have known that he would not remember." Garth nodded. "Yes, I should not have gotten my hopes up. I would have thought he might have a chance, we were so close once before." My heart was beating about as fast as that Kilo on full throttle. I didn't know what was going on, and I wanted answers. Well, half-way. I didn't want to know at the same time, it's weird.

Garth and I walked from the library, down the hallway. He was two steps in front of me. He was only a bit taller then me as well. I didn't notice at the time, but inside this castle was all white and shiny with artwork and small detications from brave warriors to people who helped the homless puppies in the animal shelters and such. Garth opened a door to the right and walked inside. The front of the door had a gold plate that said 'Garth Spader.'

He sat by the window in one of the two seats facing the window. I sat in the one right beside him. We sat in silence for awhile untill I finally found my voice. "So, you want to explain to me what's going on?" Garth shook his head and replied,"I have no idea how I am supposed to tell you this. You see, you weren't chosen to be traveler from Cloral, that slot was supposed to be filled by me, your twin brother."

"What do you mean by twin brother?" I asked. "Well, I am your twin brother. I am also older by two minutes, but that is not what we are here to talk about. You see, our father, thought that I wouldn't be able to be a traveler," He began. "But then again, I was diffrent. He hid me on this hidden territory, so maybe I wouldn't become traveler of Cloral. You see, I was born in a strange way. You may have noticed my eyes." I looked into his eyes, and then I freaked out. Before, I didn't notice that! His eyes were normal before! Now he had completley black eyes with white pupils. "It's a warning. It means I have about thirty minutes before I must get into the water again. I can last about seventeen hours with being in water before I have to get in again. I usually love underwater, but I have to do my duty in this castle as well, for they have kept me safe ever since father left me. I have special abilities so that I can breathe underwater and communicate with fish. Sure, i'd be able to live on Cloral but, our father knew I couldn't be a traveler. Besides, I can't stand it when people eat my friends."

Not only was this a mighty bug tum-tigger to wrap my mind around of, but it felt like I knew what that peice of me that I was missing had been all these years. "How could you not be a traveler when you were suppossed to be the traveler. Wouldn't I dissapear?" I asked. "After experiancing Halla for myself, i've learned nothing is impossible. Father couldn't stop my destiney, what Pendragon and Press had said was indeed not true. We are of the same generation of travelers, and Cloral has two gardians." Garth finished up. "Brother, this may sound strange, but it's true."

This time, it was my turn. I jumped from my seat and embraced him in a hug. My eyes were swelling with tears and my mind was filled with so many strange things. It was so hard to believe, but I believe him. I really do. We both stayed in that position for awhile untill he finally said,"Your hurting me, and I need water." I laughed emberessingly. I was kind of sitting on him, and I forgot about that water thing.

Garth went out to the balcany and slipped inside of this small tank. As he got water on him, scales started apearing in random places and gills formed under his chin. Weird, fish-like webbed ears apeared instead of normal round ones, and his skin, was slightly green. "Strange, is it not?" "Hobey, it's amazing!" I said watching this amazing transformation happen before my very eyes. Garth smiled and dissapeared toward the bottom after saying,"Feel free to look around, I will take a minute."

I didn't want to leave, but I guess it'd give me time to think. This was so weird, why would my father never tell me I had a twin brother? He seemed like a great guy, why would he be a secret? I looked around his bedroom and saw several paintings with his name in the corner, they must have been his. I looked to his nightstand and saw a picture. I squinted to see it but, it was pretty small. I walked up to it and picked it up my the frame it was in. What I saw made me feel like bursting out into tears.

I saw two boys with short black hair. Both of them were wearing way oversized aquaneer uniform tops, obviosley their father's clothes. One was playing with a toy gun and the other one looked like he was talking to a small fish in a plastic bag while leaning his head on the other boy. "Garth..." I said to myself. I knew that was us. Why couldn't I remember! I remebered playing with that toy in my father's clothes, but I don't remember the fish, or my brother. "What did he do?" I asked myself. "Why?"
