Character	Dialogue
	[birds squawk]
	[animal snorts]
Caleb	Now!
	[roars]
Castle Guard	Hey!
	[men shout]
	[animal snorts]
Aldarn	Down with Phobos and with tyranny.
Castle Guard	Hey.
Aldarn	You sure that's your thickest glass?
	[shriek]
Caleb	Food for everyone! This was one victory. We need many more to turn the tide against our oppressor. Eat well tonight!
	[crowd cheer]
Aldarn	Caleb, do you have any more of that chocolate from Earth? For the little ones.
Caleb	I'll return tomorrow.
Lord Cedric	Double the guards on every delivery into the castle and on every lookout.
Prince Phobos	What went wrong?
Lord Cedric	They knew our routes. I can't fight on two flanks, the Guardians plus the rebels.
Prince Phobos	Our movements are anticipated, supplies interrupted. How do I find the spy among them?
Lord Cedric	Spread a rumour. Pretend something extraordinary has been found. If a rebel comes looking, not only do we trap him, your suspicion is confirmed.
Prince Phobos	Good. And I know just the object to lure their leader into the open.
	[all groan]
Cornelia Hale	Can't we transform and fly up?
Will Vandom	We can't risk being seen just cos you decided to wear heels today.
Taranee Cook	[groans]
Caleb	[electronic buzzing]
Blunk	Captain Blunk report.
Caleb	Don't pretend you have a higher goal. You find me portals, I pay you.
Blunk	[gasps]
Caleb	Oh, hi, girls.
Will Vandom	Caleb, when you find an open portal, you're supposed to tell us.
Caleb	Normally I would, but I need this one open a little longer. I'm sure you understand.
Will Vandom	Absolutely. That's why I'm sure you'll understand me doing this.
Caleb	No. I'm taking chocolate back... to little children.
Blunk	Yes, it's tragic.
Caleb	[groans]
Will Vandom	What's that poster over there?
	[all] Uh...
Irma Lair	Drama night.
Cornelia Hale	Every year, four groups of kids... I'm sorry, losers, put on these mini plays on a theme.
Taranee Cook	The parents and grandparents come. It's a whole big loser thing.
Cornelia Hale	More like a lamefest.
Hay Lin	Great news. I signed us up to do a play for drama night.
Lord Cedric	Captain of the guard, I have remarkable news. The Seal of Phobos has been found.
	[all gasp]
	The Seal? After all these years?
Lord Cedric	It was near the outpost at Torus Filney. I want 100 riders in three days' time to bring it safely back to the castle. What I have just told you must not become general knowledge.
Castle Guard	Yeah, the Seal of Phobos.
Trill	Apparently, an old caretaker's had it for years. He doesn't even know what it is.
	[guttural chatter]
Castle Guard	Imagine the power Phobos'll have once he gets it. The Seal can open anything. The Veil between worlds, the Infinite City, the ancient Book of Secrets. Where'd Vathek go?
	[distant siren]
Hay Lin	Don't you think it'll be fun?
Cornelia Hale	No.
Taranee Cook	Why'd you sign up to do a play and then drag us into it?
Hay Lin	So I can design the cool costumes. And cos I need someone to be in them.
Caleb	What's this?
Taranee Cook	Ice-cream cone. You unwrap the paper and eat it.
Cornelia Hale	So what's the theme?
Hay Lin	Mythology.
	[all groan]
Hay Lin	Grandma, we get to pick our own myth for the school play. Do you know any good ones?
Yan Lin	Well, as it so happens, I do. Long ago, there was a kingdom ruled by a powerful but uncaring Jade Emperor. Working for this emperor were four magnificent dragons. The beautiful nymph, Xin Jing, the emperor's daughter, was greatly worried for the people, for a famine had been on the land many months. The dragons took pity on the people. Two of them boiled the water from the ocean, and the others helped lift it to the skies.
	[all cheer]
Yan Lin	The terrible drought was ended. But the emperor was enraged. How dare the dragons act without his permission? He ordered them locked inside four mountains.
Xin Jing	Your cruelty is equal only to your arrogance.
Yan Lin	His beloved Xin Jing told the emperor she was joining the dragons.
Xin Jing	[roars]
Yan Lin	And all that was left to remember her by was a crystal amulet.
Will Vandom	The origin of our powers.
Hay Lin	That's our play.
Cornelia Hale	So I'm obviously the nymph, right?
Caleb	This isn't too bad, but it made a real mess on my shoes.
Hay Lin	We've only got three dragons. I need one more. Taranee?
Taranee Cook	Uh-uh. I get stage fright.
Irma Lair	Stage fright, height fright, imported-cheese fright.
Hay Lin	Cornelia?
Cornelia Hale	You cannot put this face under a dragon mask.
Taranee Cook	The crystal. What do you think?
Will Vandom	[laughs]
Blunk	[screams]
Will Vandom	Blunk?
Blunk	Flap, flap. Blunk cute birdy.
Will Vandom	Get them off him.
Blunk	Play? Love plays. Blunk play prince. People worship Blunk.
Irma Lair	There's no prince in the play.
Taranee Cook	But we do need another dragon. It doesn't have to be a tall dragon. And he's in a costume and mask.
Hay Lin	Works for me.
Blunk	Knew real dragon once. Wanted egg back. Bit uncle's butt off. Never the same.
	[thunder]
Caleb	Please, Will, can I use the portal now? I'm a rebel leader. I don't have time to ask a bunch of girls for permission.
Blunk	Hey, there! What? Only Blunk.
Caleb	What are you wearing?
Blunk	Blunk rehearsal. Treasures. Blunk star. Blunk have message.
Caleb	From who?
Blunk	Big blue thing tell Blunk cousin. Blunk tell you.
Caleb	Big blue? Vathek? And it's at Torus Filney? This news could turn the whole rebellion around.
Blunk	What is Seal?
Caleb	The Seal of Phobos. It's a small metal talisman with a royal crest about this big. It can open anything that's closed, reveal anything that's hidden. It can split holes in the Veil.
Blunk	Uh-oh. Blunk out of business.
Caleb	Trust you to see the big picture. It was stolen from Phobos 12 years ago by a mysterious woman who captured the heir to the throne in order to protect the infant and use the Seal to cross to Earth.
	[baby cries]
	[snarling]
Lurden	[snarls]
Caleb	Phobos has been searching for the heir and the Seal ever since. With it, his powers would be fearsome, but if I had it, I could cross the Veil any time I wanted. He's assembling a squadron to fetch it. I have to get there first. The next portal that opens, tell me before the Guardians.
	[fly buzzes]
Blunk	Ah.
	[chatter]
Cornelia Hale	Then I say, "Thank you, O four dragons." There's only three. Where's you-know-what?
Blunk	[panting] Sorry late. Had to show Caleb er... something.
Lord Cedric	You are the second to express interest in this metal talisman. Six years ago I found it. Is it valuable?
Caleb	You'll be well rewarded.
	[squawking]
	[wind blows]
Caleb	What? I'm sinking! Help me!
Lord Cedric	So, Phobos' suspicions are confirmed. Now as the sands of Torus Filney consume you, I must go find the traitor who passed you this news.
Caleb	[groans]
Yan Lin	Girls. Girls! Girls! Caleb's in danger. He went to Meridian and left me this note.
	[chatter]
Yan Lin	If the Seal had been found, Phobos wouldn't wait to retrieve it. It is a trap.
Will Vandom	How did Caleb find a portal?
Blunk	[whistles]
Will Vandom	What's that? You showed him?
Blunk	No Blunk here, only dragon.
Will Vandom	We have to go.
Hay Lin	We can't walk out on our own play. We'll get expelled.
Yan Lin	No. No, you won't. Will, hold the Heart and repeat these words. Spord lartsa.
Will Vandom	Spord lartsa? What did that do?
Yan Lin	These are your astral-drop doubles. When you repeat their name again but forwards, they will disappear. They're identical to you.
	Not 100%. I don't have any split ends.
Cornelia Hale	So they save Caleb and we do the play?
Taranee Cook	Erm, I think it's the other way around.
Will Vandom	Weird, but they are identical. Let's go.
Yan Lin	Oops. Except they don't know the play.
	[electrical buzzing]
Will Vandom	It's up there. Guardians, unite. The Earth.
Irma Lair	Water.
Taranee Cook	Fire.
Cornelia Hale	Earth.
Hay Lin	Air.
	[jangling]
Hay Lin	I don't see anything.
Will Vandom	[screams] Quicksand!
	[all groan]
	[girl] A boy fell in the sands.
Irma Lair	What was that?
Cornelia Hale	Then why don't you have it roped off?
	It moves.
Taranee Cook	Great. A wandering man-eating sandpit.
Will Vandom	How long ago did the boy fall in?
	Our brother Michael fell in, too. That was a long time ago.
	[applause]
Yan Lin	Read this.
	[feedback]
	"Taranee reads dramatically." "Long ago, four dragons chased through the sky above an ancient sea."
	[cheering]
	And they danced a dragon dance.
Blunk	Blunk ad-lib too. Dragon dance.
Will Vandom	We've gotta go in.
Taranee Cook	We've gotta what?
Will Vandom	But we need something to pull ourselves back out with.
Irma Lair	Here goes nothing.
	"The dragons took pity on the starving peasants."
	Look at the poor peasants and their horrible ugly clothes.
	[laughter]
Caleb	Don't touch the ground or the walls.
Taranee Cook	Oh, wow. Look.
Caleb	I was tricked. I'm sorry, OK? Just get me out.
Will Vandom	Look out.
Cornelia Hale	Help! [screams]
Taranee Cook	We've got to save the others, too.
	"So the four dragons brought rain to the people."
Yan Lin	No. The fake confetti rain.
Blunk	[jabbers] Ride 'em, Blunk!
	[coughing]
	Michael, you're OK. Did you get our ball?
	[all shout]
Blunk	Towel for money?
Yan Lin	Where'd he get towels?
Taranee Cook	OK, stand back.
	[all cheer]
Taranee Cook	Silicon plus heat equals glass. Let's see its wandering sandy butt move now.
Cornelia Hale	I wonder how our astral drops did?
Hay Lin	It's really not fair. They did all the work and we'll get all the glory. Caleb's fine. How'd the play go? Grandma?
Blunk	Buster gangs!
Will Vandom	Astral drops.
	[hubbub]
Hay Lin	Listen to that. It was all your writing, Taranee.
Taranee Cook	No, it was your costumes, Hay Lin.
Cornelia Hale	Curtain call.
	[hubbub]
Yan Lin	Sorry. Curtain.
Principal Knickerbocker	I hope you enjoyed yourselves. You won't be doing a play next year. You'll still be in detention from this year.
Hay Lin	But the costumes were OK?
Caleb	Sorry. The good news is at least Phobos doesn't have the Seal.
Lord Cedric	The traitor will be unmasked. I want a list of all who left the castle yesterday.
