WAHOOOO!


The mansion sped towards them as Blarbüs glided towards it. He was heading for a very large balcony that stretched the whole fourth story.

We're almost there, he warned. I've alerted someone of our arrival. When we land, she'll take you directly to the King and our Queen.

He spread his wings wide and hovered in the air, suddenly, directly over the balcony. None of the people there really cared about his arrival, despite his huge size compared to them.

He leaned over far to the right in order to let the teenagers, speechlessly, slide down his belly onto the tiled floor.

As Blarbüs had predicted, a woman stood there. She was wearing a long, black robe, which perfectly matched her long, jet black hair. She smiled, but her eyes spoke to the teenagers how serious and important she must be.

"Follow me, please," She said. The teenagers looked at each other and shrugged.

The woman led the teenagers through atleast five giant corridors in the mansion. The floors were covered with an awesome, red carpet that was completely spotless of dirt or anything else. The walls were painted with the exact same red, but with golden stripes that went vertically from one end to the other perfectly. Even the roof, decorated with purple, velvet streamers, was brilliantly decorated.

The teenagers stared around in awe.

Eventually, the woman led the teenagers to a giant room. It's decoration was exactly the same, except that the room closed in on one spot; a large chair, seven feet tall, jewel encrusted, and was holding the form of one man.

He was wearing a golden crown, and was holding a golden staff. He wore a black cloak like the woman, but had the face of a ruler. His brown goatee was neatly trimmed, and made him look much more mature than he probably was.

The main attraction, however, was the huge golden colored dragon that layed near the throne. It's head and golden eyes were fixed on the teenagers as they walked in.

"Hello, your highness," the woman stopped and bowed.

"Thank you, Neha," the man stood up, and walked towards the teenagers.

At first, they were nervous. He walked slowly and fiercely, as though about to scold them. However, as the woman named Neha walked out of the way, he smiled and shook each of their hands.

"Welcome, welcome!" he exclaimed. "Welcome to Bâzch, and welcome to my kingdom! I am King Andrew! Sworn human leader of the Land of Retoxamni!"
