On her flight back to her home, Demona had noticed that Brooklyn had had something new upon his back when he had flown back into their dimension. What was it? Perhaps whatever it was, it could be useful. She was glad that it hadn't been a human, at least.

The only reason she had helped the clan despite how much she hated them was because it had been a favor to her daughter, and it did make her think on if Brooklyn had been taken to another dimension or another world, what if it became necessary for other gargoyles to go there for their safety, to get away from humans? This other being could provide useful information. She would plan to talk to it, soon.

...

Xanatos led Sil to an empty room on the western side. "This will be your room, Lord Chamberlain. It's unlocked. Hope you find it satisfactory. I wouldn't know what you're into since your arrival was so unexpected."

The Skeksis looked down at the door. He wasn't used to opening doors like these ones.

Chamberlain saw the knob and put his hand on it and turned it right. It opened right up. "Hmmm." he whimpered to himself. He pushed the door open and saw it was a good-sized room.

He slowly walked into it. He saw the bed. It had no sides on it, but it was made. The blankets were gray on top. Big white pillows. It was for two people to sleep in, so it was big enough for him. There was a dresser, windows that let the daylight in. A closet.

"Can I do what I want in here?" Chamberlain asked.

"As long as you're not wrecking the place."

"Can bedding be changed to color I like?"

"Sure. What colors do you like?" David asked.

"Red mostly." SkekSil said. "Like my robes."

"I see. Well, I'll see what I can round up. You can look around the room to see if anything else you need." David said and left Sil to look around.

He was a bit complexed at being left alone, but he did need to find some things on his own.

By the time he was finished looking around, he had found nothing else in here of use to him. He sat down on the bed to see how comfortable it was. He knew his colored bedding was coming. Soon, he heard a knock on the door.

"What?"

Owen stepped in. "Here are the bedding materials you had asked for. Red blankets and sheets."

Chamberlain looked at the blankets. They were a bright red. He smiled. "Yes. Good."

"Now if you will get off the bed, and I can get it prepared for you." Owen said.

Chamberlain wouldn't argue with that. Someone willing to get it ready for him, but then, Brooklyn had told him that this guy was a servant. There was also something to be wary of, but he couldn't remember at the moment. He would worry about it later.

Owen stripped the bed of the original blankets, the put the red sheets and blankets on the bed. "Is that good?" he asked.

The Skeksis nodded.

"Good. Mr. Xanatos said that you have been up all night. You should get some sleep." Owen suggested.

"Yes, but prefer to sleep when want to." Sil stated.

"Alright, well if I'm not needed, I'll leave you to it then." Owen said. The man left.

Chamberlain didn't know how to lock the door, but he was going to go to bed anyway. He just didn't want to be told to like a kid.

He went and pulled back the covers. Sil got out of his heaviest robes, leaving only his white gown on. He put his robes on a chair in the room. He pulled himself up under them and laid down on his back first. It didn't feel too bad. Then he rolled to his right side. It was pretty comfortable.

Since sunlight was not shining in the room yet, it was easy for Sil to fall asleep, despite being in new surroundings. The bed was too soft. He was asleep instantly. He slept most of the day away.

After Owen's encounter with the Chamberlain, it made him wary of the Skeksis that he should not be allowed anywhere near young Alex. He sensed something in him that wasn't right.

"Mr. Xanatos, I don't trust that creature. He shouldn't be allowed near your son." Owen warned his boss.

"Why's that?" David asked.

"I can sense that there is a bad energy in him, despite what Brooklyn has said about him." the blond man explained.

"He comes from a different planet, Owen. He is different. But I will keep it in mind until I know he can be trusted." David said. "I know Fox and I wouldn't want anything else happening to Alex."

The humans were going to be keeping an eye on Chamberlain, until they knew he could be trusted, but could he be trusted?

...

Chamberlain slept most of the day away. It was nearly time for the sun to set by the time he woke up. Sunlight shone into his room.

He had dreamt that he was still at home, but when he blinked his eyes after waking up, he noticed he was not in his room at the castle. Then it was true. He was in Brooklyn's world and home.

He had lists of chores to do at home, but here, he wasn't sure what to do for things to do. Should he wait on Brooklyn to come get him? But he wasn't even awake yet. He just knew he had to get up and walk around.

He got up, got dressed, and went out into the hallway and tried to find someone. He tried to remember the way he was shown. This place was so big. He could get lost in this castle until he knew his whole way around by heart, like at home.

SkekSil did find his way out into the courtyard. At least it was good being outside. He looked up at the high places. He found the high tower. He saw Goliath on the highest point. He knew Brooklyn was down a level lower. Since the sun was getting lower, he decided to get up there and greet his friend before doing anything else.

Xanatos and Owen were monitoring the Skeksis' whereabouts. What was he doing or going to do? They just hoped he didn't find Alex's room.

Chamberlain tried to take what route he thought headed to the high tower. He followed straight through to an empty hallway. He turned right. "Hello?" he asked. No answer.

Owen knew he was getting lost. He figured he was headed to the tower. He had to go. Using his magical powers, he headed to the location.

"Lord Chamberlain."

He nearly jumped out of his skin when the man said his title name. He turned. "Not do that, please!" Sil held his chest, sighing in relief.

"Sorry to have scared you, but where is it that you are going?" Owen inquired.

"Trying to get to high tower. Where Brooklyn is. Know gargoyles waking up at sunset." SkekSil said.

"Yes, they are. I can lead you there. You are going the wrong way." Owen stated.

"You know castle better than me." Sil said and followed. He just wanted to be reunited with his gargoyle friend.

Owen led the Skeksis to the second level on the high tower. "Here you are. They'll be waking up any second." he said and left. Chamberlain watched him go. He was glad he was gone. Then, he watched the sun go down. It was interesting to see only one sun instead of three. It reminded him of the Great Sun at home.

The sun finally went down, and the gargoyles started to wake up. Every single one woke up with their eyes glowing and roaring. Stone shards going everywhere. Chamberlain shielded his face with his robe on his left arm. He heard that everyone had a different roar too.

"Brooklyn!" Chamberlain declared.

The red gargoyle turned around and saw that his new friend was up there, greeting him as he had woken up. "Hi, Chamberlain." He jumped down from his parapet. "So how did your first day go?"

"Not like so much without you to show me around. I not trust humans so much." SkekSil replied. "I shown room where I stay and went to sleep most of day."

"I know they take a while to trust. Xanatos and Fox both used to be enemies of ours, but they changed. Xanatos has saved our lives before." Brooklyn explained.

The other gargoyles gathered around too.

"So, what we do now?" Chamberlain asked.

"Usually, we would go off on patrol right away, but if you're hungry, we could eat some breakfast first." Brooklyn said.

"I'll be all over that." Broadway declared and scurried off.

"Goliath, can we?" Brooklyn asked. "Until he gets more used to things?"

"Alright. But soon, we will be doing patrols first and eating later." Goliath said. "But when we are told that our help is needed in an immediate emergency, we have to leave right away."

Brooklyn was pleased and he and Chamberlain went off to be together. Sil showed Brooklyn his new room. He remembered the way to that.

"It's a good choice he gave you. This is a guest room, but since it's empty, I guess he's giving it to you." Brooklyn said.

"I don't get what those are for." Chamberlain pointed to the dresser and closet.

"That's a dresser to put clothes in. The same goes for the closet." Brooklyn replied. "But Sil, if no one has showed you something that I think you should see if you get bored, especially if I can't be around to show you, I have something to show you."

"What?"

"You'll see." Brooklyn said as he led his friend to a certain room.

Flipping the switch, the light came on and Chamberlain followed Brooklyn into the room. It looked too small and there were a couple chairs to sit on. He saw a square shaped thing but didn't know what it was.

"Chamberlain, if you ever run out of things to do, coming to this room is the best thing for you to learn things about our world. It's called the TV room. And that box over there is the TV." Brooklyn explained. "If you'll sit down and face it."

He did, but still didn't know what to expect. He saw Brooklyn had picked something up in his hand. He hit a button, and a noise came on, with a picture! It surprised the Skeksis more than anything.

He nearly bolted.

"It won't hurt you, Sil! It's just a TV, a picture box!" Brooklyn shouted at him, almost starting to laugh.

"Picture box?" Sil asked cautiously.

"Yes. See. These are just cartoons." There was a Donald Duck cartoon on. Brooklyn began the explaining on what things he could see and watch on TV. He showed him how to work the remote. How to turn it off and on, change channels, adjust the volume, and what numbers were what, so Chamberlain could read the signs of what he could turn the TV to what he wanted.

He was shown amazing things that he had never seen before. The closest thing to this back home were Crystal Bats spying on food or enemies from outside the castle that shown in the Crystal.

Lexington soon came and got them for dinner. Brooklyn had let Sil try changing channels by himself so he would know how to use it. He had Chamberlain turn off the TV so they could go eat dinner. The Skeksis wanted food more than anything right now.

Tonight, Chamberlain did much better on his table manners. He didn't like that he couldn't throw food away that he didn't like, but he just left them on his plate like anyone else did. Brooklyn's friendship was paying off. The clan was impressed.

Brooklyn now felt that he had someone to hang with. It didn't feel so lonely anymore. He had liked teaching Chamberlain on how to act. Though he was grown, it was like teaching a child how to act the right way.

Sil wanted to be with Brooklyn too. It was just friendship. The friendly side of Chamberlain was re-emerging. He hadn't had any true allies or friends in a long time.

After dinner, the clan was going on patrol again. Before going, Brooklyn told Goliath that if he was needed to go, Sil could entertain himself with the TV now.

"Well, you didn't go last night, and we found out that you had been taken to another world. Perhaps, if he can find something to do now, you should come tonight. It's your turn with Lexington." Goliath decreed.

Chamberlain was standing by. He had been listening. Brooklyn would have been patrolling his home grounds at night if he had stayed longer. Gelfling guards had used to patrol halls of the castle too, so Sil knew what a patrol was.

"Alright. I'll tell him." Brooklyn said reluctantly. He went back to Chamberlain.

"I have to go on patrol tonight, Chamberlain. Will you be alright on your own?" Brooklyn asked.

"Not childling. Spent day by self. Can be without for little while." SkekSil replied.

"Well, Hudson stays behind most of the time with Bronx. Hudson watches a lot of TV too. If you're bored, you could watch it with him." Brooklyn stated.

Chamberlain was still wary of the gar-dog. "Can I come too?"

"I don't think you're ready for something like this, Chamberlain." Brooklyn said. "But maybe soon."

The Skeksis was disappointed that he couldn't spend time with his friend. Brooklyn saw his face. "I'm sorry, but this is dangerous enough for us as it is." Brooklyn explained. "We'll be back soon." he declared, walking away.

Goliath went off on his own, Brooklyn and Lexington took off together, and Broadway and Angela took off. Hudson and Bronx headed to the TV room.

Chamberlain watched from over the edge on how high up they were off the ground. That was one HIGH JUMP! Maybe he wasn't ready after all. He took his attention off the ground and could barely see the gargoyles gliding away. He glared after Brooklyn. He got to have all the fun. He turned to go to the TV room with Hudson.

Hudson was already sitting in the chair when he came in. Bronx looked up. Chamberlain came over, but Bronx wouldn't move from his seat on the couch. Then he saw a seat over by the window. He went over there and sat down.

He looked at the TV screen. Hudson was flashing through channels so fast; he could barely register what was on. He looked at Hudson.

The old gargoyle looked at him. "What?" he asked.

"Brooklyn said I join you." Chamberlain stated.

"Have you seen the TV yet?" Hudson asked.

"Yes. Brooklyn show me right before dinner."

"You want to watch something?"

"I not know much about TV or your planet, but I watch and learn about your planet." SkekSil explained.

"Good." Hudson smiled.

Chamberlain would be watching whatever Hudson would for now. At one time, Bronx growled because of a dog commercial. Hudson laughed. Chamberlain cringed when he thought it was at him.

"He's growling at the dog on TV. Not you. Bronx doesn't like humans' dogs." Hudson declared.

SkekSil breathed a sigh of relief. He had noticed the strangest thing about Hudson's eyes. They were different colors. One was white, and the other yellow.

"Why your eyes two different colors?" he asked.

Hudson stopped messing with the TV. Chamberlain waited for words.

"I am blind in my left eye. I hit my eye on a hard rock long ago in a battle with a sorcerer."

"What about eye glow in that eye?"

"My eyes still glow when I get angry. Even the blind one." Hudson replied. "Now leave me be, Laddie."

"Laddie?" Sil questioned. "Not exactly a young one."

"Never mind." Hudson said. He just ignored him. He could get cranky answering too many questions when he was trying to watch his favorite programs.

Chamberlain had never been called that before, but Hudson was an old Scottish gargoyle. He still spoke the old Scotsmen language.

Chamberlain quieted down and just watched TV.

Brooklyn and the clan soon came back. A few scratches here and there, but no real injuries. He found Sil in the TV room with Hudson and Bronx.

"We're back, Sil." Brooklyn greeted into the room.

Chamberlain was more than glad to get away from Hudson and Bronx. "Come on. I'll show you our library. I know you can't read our writing yet, but I'll teach you." Brooklyn said. SkekSil smiled and followed him.

The library was huge! It seemed even bigger than the Historian's library of scrolls. So many books!

"Big library." Chamberlain looked in awe.

"I know. Xanatos owns it. He's rich so he can afford to buy almost anything." Brooklyn explained. "It's also how he could also afford to bring our castle here from Scotland."

"What does Hudson mean by calling me, Laddie?" Chamberlain demanded.

"Huh? Oh that. He's an old Scottish gargoyle and still talks in Scotland's old language. That's all. He even calls me, Lex, and Broadway that. It means a young guy. I know you're not that young." Brooklyn explained.

"I don't want be called a young one. Though would like to be young again." Chamberlain answered.

"Sorry about that." Brooklyn said.

They went back to talking about things in books, until Goliath came in. He liked to read the books. The two friends went elsewhere. It seemed like they were being pushed out of every room in the castle.

Then a new human came running by them. "Elisa?" Brooklyn questioned.

"No time, Brooklyn!" she exclaimed as she ran past him and Sil, not even noticing him.

Brooklyn chased after her. She knew where to find Goliath: the library.

Chamberlain followed as fast as he could, but Brooklyn got away from him. When he came upon the library again, the whole clan was in there. He was almost out of breath.

"The Pack is downtown near the bank." Elisa said.

The Pack?

"Those losers never give up, do they?" Broadway stated.

"I want to kick their butts so bad!" Lex growled threateningly.

"We're going to get them. Hudson, you and Bronx need to come too." Goliath ordered.

"We're here for ya, Lad." Hudson replied.

"Let's go!" Brooklyn declared.

The clan took off down the hallway. Chamberlain got out of the way. "What's going on?" He asked as he tried to follow.

"There's a big fight downtown! We'll be back soon!" Brooklyn called behind him.

Sil stopped. They had already been out tonight. Again, he was being left behind. Elisa had left to join them. What was he going to do now? Even Bronx was going.

By the time he got to the high tower, the clan was gone. This upset him. He would have to learn some fighting skills if he was to go. For now, he went to the TV room. Now he could watch all he wanted.
