Disenchantment Sagas

A Wizard's Love for Dragons

    The first thing Zog did before saying anything to anyone was head to the war room and angrily threw his scepters out of the window. The word about Koga's departure from the castle spread quickly into town. The details of the story itself, however, had been significantly exaggerated. Others said he tried assassinating Zog; others said he fought him. However, the one that everyone went with as a fact was Zog catching Koga with Bean, and he attacked Zog out of rage and fled the castle with Elfo at hand after taking Queen Oona as a hostage. Now, Zog had gone on a rampage throughout the castle. He was tossing tables, tearing down paintings, and breaking priceless vases until he went to the war room and started tossing out his many scepters. This is where Bean would enter the room with Luci with a furious expression on her face.

"What the hell is the matter with you?! After everything Koga has done for you!" She screamed at her father.

"Not now, sweetie. Daddy is very angry right now!" Zog picks up another scepter and flings it out of the window. "Now I gotta plan a whole crusade to go and get my elf back on top of taking care of Koga!"

"WHAT?" Bean glared at Zog. "What do you mean YOUR Elf? Elfo is my friend, and he's done everything for you! All the blood and pain that you put him through so that you can get your stupid immortality! He's not your goddamn property!"

"Of course, he's my property! I'm the one who let him stay here! I'm the one who allowed him to eat my food and sleep in the beds I provided for him! That Elf belongs to me, and so does his blood!"

Bean bit her bottom lip and clenched her fist. "You know what...I'm starting to understand why I have an alcohol problem! It's because of YOU!" She pointed at her father aggressively.

"Of course, I'm the reason you drink! I'm your father!" Zog replied, a matter of factuality.

"Screw you!" Bean spat. "Screw you, this castle, and your stupid immortality! No matter how long you live, nobody in this messed-up world would want to spend it with you..." She stared into her father's eyes as she spat out her words. 

Zog scowled at his daughter. His face twists angrily. "Take her away! Lock her up before she starts pointing out more stuff!"

"Her chamber sire?" Pendergast asked.

"No, she's too good at escaping there. Take her to someplace more secure, along with her smart-mouth cat!"

Luci glared. "Typical reaction, Mr. Predictable," The demon hopped onto Bean's lap and was dragged out of the room.

Tavish had returned to the castle and watched Bean from a few feet away get dragged off by Pendergast and Turbish. "What in the world?" He scratched his head.

"You missed all the action," said Miri, beside Tavish.

Tavish jumped a bit, startled. "What happened?"

"Koga took Elfo, a wizard and some guy obsessed with Dragons, away and kicked everyone who tried to stop him. Oh, and he held Oona hostage for a bit,"

Oona walks by. "It was the most excitement I had here in a while,"

"Oh dear lord," Tavish rubs his head.

"I wouldn't go talk to King Zog if I were you. His face looked as though it was going to explode with anger," said Miri. She picks up her mop bucket and walks off.

Tavish sighed. "Can't this place just stay peaceful for once...just once?"

Back at the dungeons, Akane sat with her back against the wall and stared at the stone ceiling above her. Stan sat next to her with a pile of books behind him. He had been reading nothing but dad jokes to her for the past few hours. In all honesty, he was reading it for himself.
