CHAPTER 13
The wagon was rambling down the path, it couldn't go very fast on the rough parts.That got everyone bouncing around to much even though it was fun. Tank and Wayne were enjoying the ride more than Mr.Nave, he rarely rode in wagons. On down the mountain they went. Through the woods, thru the clearings and across a stream or two. Off in the distance something was coming into view but Tank and Wayne couldn't make out the details yet.
"Hey Nave dude, what's coming up man?", asked Wayne.
"Oh that? It's the cemetery. My friend Queen Hally is there", replied Mr.Nave.
"Sorry to hear that man. How long has she been dead for?", asked Tank.
"Not really sure but you can ask her if you want to when we get there", replied Mr.Nave.
"Yeah right, I can do magic spells and talk to the dead. Ha ha ha, I'm Harry freakin Potter", laughed Tank.
"Oh but you can, Hally is the Zombie Queen. She can walk and talk like you and I", said Mr.Nave. "Not all of the dead stay in the ground."
"Bullshit!!!", said Wayne.
"Stop yankin my meat dude, that shit is just in the movies", added Tank.
"I don't understand, what are moo vees?", asked Mr.Nave.
"Nevermind man", said Tank.
"I guess I could believe anything now after all we've been seeing lately.Thank God for pot, if we hadn't been so fuckin high we'd be having nervous breakdowns and shit", said Wayne.
"AMEN brother", shouted Tank. "Preaching to the choir my friend, I'm with you on that one."
"So are they friendly or are they gonna try and munch on my noggin?", asked Wayne.
"They are friendly enough, they only eat brains in battle to gain their enemies strength. It also heals them somewhat, if enough are eaten they will come to appear alive again. Actually they can pass amongst the living completely unknown for what they actually are. You will see for yourself when you meet Queen Hally", said Mr.Nave.
What he says is correct, said Merlin. They can not actually live again but it is as close to life as they can get. They are strong as a giant when they reach that stage.
I will have to remember that thought Tank.
As they got closer their unique wagon was spotted and a group of zombie guards were waiting at the gate. Some of them were armed with weapons and some were just standing and watching as the wagon came to a stop and Mr.Nave jumped out. Recognizing him some of the zombies lost interest and walked away, others stayed around to see who the new guys were getting out of the wagon behind him. The guards stayed where they were, vigilant at their posts as Mr.Nave walked up to them.
"Could one of you guys please let the Queen I have returned with guests, guest from Merlin's tower", said Mr.Nave.
One of the guards shuffled off to go inform the Queen.
"Man are you sure we are safe?", ask Tank.
""Yes you are both fine", said Mr.Nave.
There was movement behind the guards and then they opened up, all the sudden she was there. Gothic sexy, the only way to describe her.
"Red you're back so soon, seems like you just left", said Queen Hally. "Who are your friends?"
"This is Tank and this is Wayne, they were the ones in Merlin's tower", said Mr.Nave.
She turned to Tank first,"So nice to meet you sir."
"Mam, nice to meet you", replied Tank shaking her offered hand.
"Nice to meet you also sir", said the Queen to Wayne holding her hand out.
He accepted her hand but instead of shaking it he brought it to his lips and kissed the back of it. "Your majesty, I am pleased to make you're acquaintance", said Wayne.
The Queen turned to Mr.Nave with a smile, "I like him Red, he knows how to talk to a lady."
"We are on our way down to Dingtown now but I wanted to give you an update about the tower and introduce you to your new neighbors up the hill. Is there a place we might go sit and talk?", asked Mr.Nave.
"Sure thing Dearie just follow me", said Queen Hally.
Everyone followed her ti her personality crypt. It was fuckin huge, it had been dug out and enlarged underground. They ended up in her private study where thre was plenty of room to sit and relax.
After assurance from Mr.Nave that she was a trusted friend they told Queen Hally their tale. She was amazed at the wagon when she later checked it out. She offered them 10,000 in gold but Wayne and Tank declined her offer, much to Merlins relief. As he put it to Tank, That dead rotten cunt is insulting me offering that little and trying to rob you blind, fuckin bitch! He did not relay this to her though.
"We better keep ahold of it for now, it's our only way around at the moment my lady", answered Tank.
"That's ok, I understand. Should you ever decide please keep me in mind would you?", asked Queen Hally.
"Your majesty it has been a pleasure to meet you but we must be on our way now. Thank you for your hospitality and your company", said Wayne.
"You are very welcome sir, and please do cone visit me again. We can get to know each other betterk", the Queen said with a wink and sultry smile. She then turned to Mr.Nave,"Stop and see me again Red and bring Mr.Wayne with you anytime."
Everyone climbed back into the wagon again and started down the road. They had barely gone a quarter mile before Tank started laughing.
"What's so funny?", asked Wayne.
"That bitch is in heat for you bro", answered Tank. "Ha ha ha ha."
"No way dude, she was just being nice that's all", said Wayne.
"Ok man, believe what you want but I know what I'm talkin about. That bitch wants fight the one eyed monster till he spits at her. Are you blind and can't see it bro?", ask Tank. "Ha ha ha."
"She was kinda goth hot but I like my pussy hot not cold", said Wayne. "Anyway enough of that, Mr.Nave how far to Downtown?"
"At our rate if speed maybe an hour, give or take", said Mr.Dave.
"Well then we have plenty of time for this bottle of wine and the last doobie. I brought a bag with me so we just needa find a pipe when we get there", said Wayne as he pulled the cork before tipping it back.
"If his dude don't have a pipe I will go McGiever and make something", said Tank.
The guys just rolled along enjoying their buzz and checking out the sights. From down here they could see the falls at Soaring Springs and the cliffs at Dragons Peak. The trail was slowly leveling out and rolling around the smaller hills. As they rounded the final turn and saw Dingtown. A good size walled town, with many buildings inside. The town guards walked their patrol atop the wall. Skylot was on the outside of the by the main gate into the city. It looked like a busy place people on dragons were landing, there were wagons parked as the drivers watered their beasts of burden as well as people of many races walked about.
"If my friend the Capt. is not inside Skylot we will have to go into town then. He will be at his pleasure house, the House of Butt", said Mr.Nave.
"Now that sounds like my kind of place", said Tank with a smile.
