Dan joined the man and went inside a dark passage. He worried about Camb and wondered how in the world he was about to get out.
Later, they arrived at the king's hall with the minister. The king looked a bit worried. He stammered "Oh...yes...a new guest.....come...on ..um..in"
Dan replied "Why are you so broken into words, my dear lord"
The king confessed "Umm, don't mind, dear sonny, but, we are in great trouble with our neighbouring kingdoms. This place was very green and lush with fertility but the neighbouring kingdom Aquila's warriors had turned this land into a piece of turmoil.
Dan asked "What are the kingdoms of Fantalasia, my lord"
The king listed "There is Alcista; Kingdom of bull, Bajista; Kingdom of Bear, Cabro; Kingdom of Goat, Serpento; Kingdom of snake and finally Aquilla; Kingdom of Eagle. Ours is Gorrión; the Kingdom of Sparrow.
Just as he was speaking, some kind of smoke, pushed through the castle. The area was full of black and black. Then started a fire from the castle. Nobody could see anything. Dan could not understand what was happening. Then, one piece of wood came upon him. He could not do anything. He kept one hand up covering his face and was astonished by what had happened. Some magical activity has made the log stop. He pushed his hand and the log moved in that direction. He knew magic without even knowing. He said "Abracadabra show the way out!" and then formed a path that showed the way to somewhere. He followed the way out and came into another hall. There were many steps inscribed so beautifully with Latin letters. He has to walk carefully. A wrong step can mean him to be trapped in some mumbo-jumbo place.
He walked the first step and it rained arrows. Luckily, he was safe. He walked very carefully until one step turned his good luck into the opposite. Back came a big wall pushing speedy toward him. He ran and ran and ran until at a turning he hopped in and the wall smashed into pieces. But he couldn't sigh because out came another trap and he was hanging with his right-hand support. This was a very critical situation.
