Chapter 36: Sugar Draggy’s Favour

Sugar Draggy looked down fondly at Dr. Bones and Miss Fern. Not that anyone who wasn’t the dragon himself could tell, what with the head being a featureless cube.

<MY THANKS TO THEE DOCTOR. HERE TAKE THIS, BLAND MORSEL!>

There was a snapping sound as Sugar Draggy called forth a small glittering cube from his own body. He held it out for Dr. Bones to receive.

“Eww” whispered Miss Fern as Dr. Bones accepted it.

<IF YOU EVER HAVE NEED OF ME, USE THE CUBE AND CALL MY NAME!>

With a mighty laugh, Sugar Draggy opened up a dimensional rift and left, completely ignoring the contract he had with the Draggy Tot Tribe. The jellies themselves stared up in awe as the Bidden left. When they remembered about Miss Fern and Dr. Bones, the two had already fled!

The two managed to return to the coffin without incident.

“Well, that was unexpected, wasn’t it Doctor?” Miss Fern chattered while tormenting one of the cleaning golems of the ship. She was blocking it from clearing up some crumbs of the cakeland that were left over from the cake she had sneaked back into the ship on the way back.

-Mmm, quite. I don’t know if our fortune is good or bad. If Sugar Draggy had not been ill, we’d have had a nasty time of it-

“Haha, well you’ve have just called down the Red Armageddon if things got too difficult” Miss Fern said.

-It still isn’t a weapon-

“Whatever you say~ So, where are we headed next? I hope it is somewhere with good fo… scenery”

Doctor Bones put a hand to his skull and massaged it. It didn’t actually do anything, but it made him feel better to think that it did.

-Have you forgotten already?-

“Uh, I haven’t no”

-Then why did you ask me?-

“Oh, it was… oh. Ohhhhh.”

Miss Fern once more wilted a bit at the thought of the Necrobyssal.

“Do we have to? Oh, we must, though we might encounter vigorous vegetarian vampires, we must!”

Dr. Bones shook his head and prepared the coffin to track to the dimension of the dead, Necrobyssal.

<Coordinates received, plotting course, applying dimensional shielding. Commencing sub-tunnelling. Please avoid doing dimensional experiments while in transfer>

“Doctor if some dashing vampire plant comes after us, save yourself!”

<Forming ethereal platform, proceeding from platform in five>

-I don’t think you need to worry about that happening-

<Four>

“Can’t you just let a woman have her fantasies Doctor?”

<Three>

-I’ve got some medicines for delusion too you know-

<Two>

“You don’t need to be so serious. I was just having a bit of fun. If the man isn’t a gardener I’m not…”

<One>

The coffin had left the Food Dimension and the Cakeland, but something was happening to the Draggy Tot tribe that had been left behind. Alongside horned cube totems, effigies sculpted in the shape of bones were being place, some of which had sculpted plants…
