The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel

by Pidoriano, Joseph

  Then last, at the end of the walkway was Dumb and Dumber.

  Instead of looking straight, Dumb and Dumber would be looking to different directions. Dumb was looking to the north side of the castle.

  And Dumber would be looking upward thinking that something magical would happen. Granted, this is the Magic Castle, but nothing magical would happen in the sky. After all of the gargoyles had sung their song, “Intruder, who are you?” Tom said, “We are here to see the wizard.” Dumb said, “What wizard is you talking ‘bout?” Dumb sounded like a fool because of the fact that he didn’t have a good education. That is why he turned into a gargoyle. Dumb is from the town, Bulton, which is a serf town outside of the Magic Castle. The serf town is a very poor town. Dumb was a magical creature who would vegetate all day and eat all of the crops of the creatures who were residents of the town. Dumb had aged. He did this for years.

  until one of the residents became fed up with the stupidity of Dumb and he was pulled right out of the town of Bulton and sent over to the Magic Castle where he is presently residing.

  Now Dumber said, “Wizard? What’s a wizard?”

  Smiles said,

  “You don’t know what a wizard is? Hey cotton brains, a wizard is a magical creature. A thing disguised as a human, who performs magic on all of you, gives you whatever you want, whenever you need. A wizard is somebody who helps you. A wizard is a person who travels forward and backward, everywhere. A magical wand guides him with the spells. A hocus pocus or an abracadabra makes them real. A spell is just a spell. And a wish is just a wish. But a wish will come to a dragon’s dish and be a mash. A mortal’s wish shall be granted. For the wizard will give thou what thou want and the wizard shall give to thee, the happiness and joy of the world which is in me!”

  Smiles had said this visionary statement with a smile. An interesting statement that smiles stated. Smiles as always was smiling and filled with glee. A joyous soul with a heart of gold. That is Smiles. Tom Jackson said, “Now, I would like you to answer the question that I was simply asking, where is the wizard and when is my friend going to be turned into a mortal soul?” Mr. Superior answered, “Okay, let me answer your question.” Mr. Superior sounded very pompous like his usual personality.

  Mr. Superior said, “Walk down the hallway and then you will see the wizard.” Tom said, “Okay, thanks!” Tom Jackson started to walk into the building and Iron Steel started to stomp into the building. Iron Steel couldn’t fit himself through the twenty one foot tall and five feet wide gateway to normalcy. A forty foot tall and twenty one foot wide dragon can’t fit in such a small gateway.

  Luckily, Tom was able to hear his friend because of the fact that his friend’s head was in the castle.

  Iron said, “You better do something to get me out of this situation now! I demand you to do something now!” Tom said, “What could I do?” An audible and explicit voice was able to be heard and the voice sounded like it was coming through the bricks. This voice sounded like a deep voice and the voice said, “What is your name?”

  Tom said, “You talkin’ to me?” The audible voice said, “Yes. I am talking to you. Do you think I am talking to the bricks? Of course, I am talking to you? Now, listen, what is your name? Give me your first and last name. Here is a sheet of paper. Write it down now!”

  A sheet of paper had gradually dropped down from the ceiling of the first corridor of the Magic Castle. Due to the fact that the ceilings were twenty one feet tall, it took about five minutes for the sheet of paper to fall down from the ceiling. Tom caught the paper and when Tom caught the paper, he asked the audible voice, “Where is the pen to this? I don’t have a pen.” The audible voice gave him a pen.

  The pen was a white feather pen. Since the Magic Castle was a castle in a secluded and fantasy area, there would be anachronistic technology. Instead of using normal technology of the contemporary time, the Magic Castle is lost in time. Now, Tom said to the audible voice, “Say, Isn’t this kind of out of date?”

  The audible voice said, “No, now write your name!”

  Tom

  wrote his first and last name on the sheet of paper. When Tom wrote his first and last name, the audible voice told Tom, “Now that you’re done, let me see it.” Tom asked, “How can you possibly see this piece of paper when you are an audible voice in the bricks?” The audible voice answered, “Slide the paper in one of the holes in the bricks. Roll it up and slide it through one of the holes in my bricks.” Tom performed the task that the audible voice commanded. After he performed that task a ball appeared out of one of the bricks and fell on the concrete floor. That ball unfolded into a piece of paper and the paper was a black paper. Then, a pencil had dropped from the ceiling.

  The pencil was approximately two inches long and Tom said to the audible voice, “What do I do now?” The audible voice said, “Shade this piece of paper in, now!” Tom shaded the paper and as Tom was shading the paper words started to emerge. The words were written in a Blackbeard style. The style was very legible. However, that was the type of writing that was used at the Magic Castle. There were four words written on there and an exclamation point of the decoded piece of paper. The four words that were written said, “Push on my bricks!” Tom said, “Why should I push on your bricks?” The audible voice said, “Do you want to rescue your friend?” Tom said, “Yeah!” Tom pushed on the bricks and light started to emerge between the bricks. As the light started to emerge from the bricks, there was a golden trumpet appearing; the background was a light background.

  The audible voice said to Tom, “Blow the trumpet.”

  Tom blew

  the Trumpet, and the guard in the guard tower woke up. The guard jumped daringly out of the tower and ran to the area where the trumpet was being blown. The guard said, “What’s the issue?” Iron Steel who was stuck in the gateway to normalcy said, “I am stuck.”

  The guard said, “I might have to get more guards to get you into the castle.” The guard shouted out to Waldon and Norman who were on their horses to get them to the scene of where the issue was taking place.

  When the guards arrived, Waldon said, “I’ve got an excellent idea. How ‘bout pushing the beast into the castle?” Everybody else who was with Waldon agreed and started pushing Iron Steel into the Castle. Iron managed to end up in the castle after twenty five pushes and Iron said with a groan, “Darn, this castle is so small.” Iron started crawling into the Castle. While he was crawling down the musty corridor, he saw a tiny dragon. The tiny dragon looked like a sweet, innocent little dragon. The tiny little dragon’s name was Bedlam.

  His master named him that because of the fact that if something angered him, this sweet innocent dragon would turn into a fiery and ferocious creature and this creature would crush or burn any soul who came into his way. Bedlam was a small dragon with a green pigment. He was filled with lots of envy, but yet, lots of good. He had a yellow pectoral and a aquamarine mane. This dragon was the king’s pet. Now, Tom said to the dragon, “Hey little guy, how you doin’

  today?” The dragon said with a high pitch squeaky voice, “Good, and by the way, don’t you call me a little guy before I have a fury!”

  Tom started to walk and, then Bedlam saw Iron Steel in a dragon form. Bedlam sighed and shouted, “Get out of my castle!”

  Iron Steel shouted, “No. Why should I?” Bedlam reiterated, “Get out now!” Iron Steel reiterated once again, “No!” Bedlam shouted “That’s it. It’s go time!” Bedlam swung his tail at Iron Steel. When Bedlam swung his tail, Iron Steel pulled himself back and like a sling shot made Bedlam go flying out of the castle.

  Bedlam shouted outside, “Guards! I am being attacked.”

  The

  guards rushed over to the place in which the tumultuous situation was taking place. The guards subdued Iron Steel and he was sent to the king. The dragon (Iron Steel) was pulled over to the king by the guards. While Iron Steel was being pulled over to the king by the guards down the long dark hallway, Tom Jackson asked Norma
n, who stayed with Tom to ask Tom some questions, “What are they going to do with my friend?” Norman said, “They are going to interrogate him and release him! Are you friends with him?” Tom said, “Why, of course I am friends with him!”

  Norman said, “Okay, I will also bring you to the king!”

  Tom

  said, “No, you’re not!” Norman said, “Yes, I am and there’s nothing you can do about it!” Tom said with a sarcastic smile, “We’ll see about that!” Tom resisted Norman as much as he can. Tom put his feet on the floor and tried to push Norman out of the way. But Norman was to strong for Tom’s weak skin and bones. Norman, pushed Tom to the King and Tom had a face of apprehension when he saw the king. The king looked like a giant Viking. The king’s crown was a big solid gold crown.

  The crown had about fifteen crosses on the top of it and the crown weighed ten pounds to fit the king’s twenty pound head. On the throne was another coat of arms that was hung right above the king’s head. The coat of arms had two hand sewn straps running across it and it the straps were white. Its background was blue and there were five yellow crosses. Below the coat of arms and five inches above the kings head was an inscribed name. The inscribed name was the king’s name and the king’s name was Haggoth.

  Haggoth wore a fur coat that was the color of a California Dairy Cow. It was a deep black and white from a sheep, and the wool was eventually turned into cotton than magically transformed to fur.

  Now, the king had reddish orange hair and a mustache and a beard.

  The beard was about half of his height - which was ten feet tall. He wore big black boots which showed his modesty. Yet the king possessed an ostentatious crown. Besides the crown having crosses going around it, the crown also featured valuable jewels and gems.

  These jewels were diamonds which were imported from the diamond mines of Dusseldorf Castle.

  There were emeralds which the crown also possessed, and these emeralds were imported from the emerald capital of the “real”

  world in China. Then there were rubies which were from the serpent’s stomachs. And, also on the crown, were gold which came from the king’s gold teeth. The king had a two-faced attire. The room where the king sat was a big room. The room had cobblestone floors and wooden walls.

  His wife, Queen Angela, sat next to King Haggoth. Queen Angela had a totally different physique than King Haggoth. Queen Angela stood at a staggering six feet tall and Queen Angela wore a diamond crown. She had a gown made of silver and gold and had blonde curly hair. This was King Haggoth’s third wife. His other two were tossed in the dungeon because they got too old for him. King Haggoth asked Norman, “What are these two doing here?”

  Norman said, “They are hostiles.”

  King Haggoth said as he

  was taking a piece of his Turkish Delight from his ceramic dish, “What do you mean they are hostiles? What can this little guy especially do wrong? I know the big dragon might do some harm, but how can this little man do harm? It is not like he is a dwarf?” Tom said, “Who are you calling a little dwarf?”

  King Haggoth said, “You are a little dwarf!”

  Tom said, “That’s

  it. It’s go time!” Tom ran up to King Haggoth and attempted to assault him. He started kicking his throne. The king’s throne was made of pure and solid gold. Tom said, “Get off your damn throne!” King Haggoth yelled, “Who are you to tell me to get off of my throne! You will feel my wrath now!” King Haggoth started to turn red and said, “Guards, send him to the dungeon!” Tom started resisting and saying, “Send me to the dungeon?! Puh, you are not going to send me to the dungeon. I aint’ going!”

  Tom kept trying to run from the guards pulling him. But the guards just kept on pulling him. Tom said, “Are you going to at least give me a deal which will prevent me from ending up in the slammer house dungeon?” King Haggoth said to the guards, “Wait! What did you say?” The guards held on to Tom and temporarily halted bringing Tom to the dungeon. Tom said, “Give me a deal. Give me some mercy, wise one!” King Haggoth said, “Let me think. Shall I give you mercy? No!” Tom said, “I am begging you to give me mercy. After all, we live in the same world. Right?” King Haggoth said, “Alright, I will give you mercy. I will give you a deal. To prevent you from being sent to the dungeon and eventually going to the serpent’s lair, you will act as a court jester!” King Haggoth addressed the guards.

  He said, “Guards. Take this soul to the courtyard.”

  Norman

  asked King Haggoth, “What should I do with the big dragon?” King Haggoth answered, “Chain him to the wall in the corridor.” The guards dragged the dragon down the corridor. Iron Steel, who was in the form of a dragon, said to the King, “Why are you doing this to me? I didn’t do anything wrong?” He was saying this as the guards had dragged him down the corridor. Iron Steel said as he was being chained, “You idiots will pay.” Norman said, “Who are you calling an idiot?” Iron Steel answered, “I am calling you an idiot!”

  Iron spat a fire ball at Norman and a hole burnt through his metallic uniform. Now, the king stepped off of his thrown and because the king was a heavyset king, a loud stomp was heard when his feet hit the floor. His stomps made the ground shake. The guards are escorting Tom Jackson down the corridor and to the forecourt. The forecourt was a three hundred by three hundred foot forecourt. When they arrived, the guards put Tom in a changing chamber in one of the turrets. The king’s hostile was changing his clothing and after thirty seconds Norman told Tom, “Move your darn butt!” Tom walked out in a jester costume. Tom had a face of humiliation. The king said, “Entertain us you bloody fool!” Tom said, “Yeah right!” Tom started to dance and there were cheers in the crowd. The king said, “How do you find this good? I think that this is complete mediocrity and stupidity.” The king sat on his mobile throne and rested his head in his hand. The king said, “This is stupid.” He screamed “Boo.” Then Tom started doing a dance. The dance was the scarecrow jig. A skinny Tom in a gothic jester costume looked even more foolish. The crowd started laughing and the king grew angrier. When the king grew angrier, he said, “Halt! Cut this whole thing out! I am leaving. All of you are to go back to my throne room. My immobile throne. The stocky king jumped off of his throne and a big kaboom like sound was heard.

  The king said, “That is it! Guards take that thing back!”

  Norman pulled Tom Jackson off of the stage and Tom was dragged back to the room. The king jumped back on his gold throne and said, “It is time for some sentencing! Hey, what does the moss say?”

  Norman said, “The moss is dead!” King Haggoth said, “Well, the moss is the one that decides the sentencing!” Tom said, “You’re kidding me right. You make your sentencing from a stupid damn moss!” The king said, “Why, yes. Now let’s get back to sentencing.

  Because the moss was dead, you know what that means.”

  After the king said that, a smart aleck snicker left his mouth.

  The king said, “I will sentence you to the dragon’s lair. Hope you enjoy your last day in the dungeon.” Tom started to run away from the king and one of the guards pounced on top of Tom. The guard who pounced on top of Tom was Waldon. Waldon said, “Where on Earth do you think you’re going?” Tom said with a gulp, “No where!”

  Waldon shouted, “Right! You’re coming with me you ignorant, rebellious fool.” Waldon said to his brother, “Take him. I am not taking this fool!” Norman said, “My pleasure.” Norman dragged Jackson down the main corridor and told him, “You are to stay here!”

  Norman chained him to the hook in the wall of the corridor!” Norman returned to the king and Haggoth said, “Next Hostile!” Norman said, “The next hostile is a big black and blue dragon. Norman went to Iron Steel, the big black and blue dragon who was stronger than anyone and anything according to rumors. He will be thinking something totally different soon. Iron Steel started an altercation with Norman as Norman removed the chains. Iron said, “Damn, these chains are making my wrists ache.”


  Norman said, “You brought it onto yourself. I would hate to be you right now. The king is going to give it to you with both barrels.” Iron Steel said, “I aint’ going to that thing!” The mammoth of a dragon placed his claws on the corridor walls as Norman started to drag him towards the king. As Iron Steel resisted Norman by pulling onto the walls some more, Norman grabbed that beastly dragon some more. As the dragon nails started to grind against the corridor walls, the king shouted from down the hall, “Move it you slow, lazy guard.” Norman shouted from the hall and down to the king, “I am not lazy!” The king shouted back, “Yes, you are. Just drag the beast down the hallway!”

  As Iron Steel’s grip started to weaken, Norman’s control of Steel was stronger than ever. Finally, Steel gave up and Norman dragged him to King Haggoth. King Haggoth said to Norman, “What takes you so long to get a hostile?” Norman said, “Maybe, your hostile was very resistant and defiant.” The king said to his hostile, Iron Steel, “You’re not willing to surrender, eh! I will show you who is much stronger!” First of all, “What did you do wrong?”

  Iron Steel lied and said, “I didn’t do anything wrong! What on Earth are you talking about?” The king said, “Well, what are you doing here standing before my throne like a hostile of mine?” Iron Steel said, “Okay, I killed your dragon!” The king said with anger, “You killed my buddy! How dare you?” All of a sudden, a little high pitched voice emerged from the corridor. The voice sounded like the king’s pet dragon Bedlam. Bedlam walked into the king’s throne room and said, “Thank goodness that I’m alive.”

  The king said in ecstasy and joy, “Bedlam, you’re alive!”

  Bedlam said, “Of course I’m alive. Even though I almost got killed by that thing, I am lucky to be alive!” King Haggoth said to Bedlam, “Tell me what happened.” Bedlam told King Haggoth the story of what happened. Bedlam said, “Well, as the duo of the human, the two guards, and the dragon were coming into the castle’s hallway, I didn’t want to let the dragon in. The reason why I didn’t want to let him in was because I was afraid that he might attack you. I told him that he was not allowed in. However, the thing resisted my order. It punched me in the face and here I am today.” Now, Bedlam’s story was a fallacy and King Haggoth said, “I thank you for looking out for me.”
