What Happened after?
At the end of Time Warp Dirk is flying with all his family in the time machine, he's looking to his childs and his wife and uses the sword activate the time travel, during the time travel the voice of the machine is changing to a rough dark voice: "Hahahhahaa... Dirk, stupid soldier! Now my work is done, hahhahaaaa!" The ship disappears with all his family in a wide flashy storm, the illusions seems to stop leaving Dirk alone without anything upon his legs... - "IIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA".... SBONK! Dirk silly crashes on an old big tree...
The shock produces something like a scar on the tree, from the scar a little drop of light slowly descends, and is becoming even more bright. A dark noise is coming out inside out the tree, and the tree seems to take life...Three big lights are giving the tree a really tremendous and fearing face, as we also hear the noise of the contracted wood ... A rough voice is hearing...
- "Who stopped my sleep, who ARE YOU?" The poor bedragged Dirk is waking up awkwardly, and isn't still able to talk.. - "Argsh, eer" - "P-please excuse me, it-t wasn't my intention" - "WHO ARE YOU!", the tree feels angry...
- "Well, my name is... Dirk, Dirk i am the one that killed the Dragon!". - "Hmpf! Ha ha ha haaaa", the tree laughs really tremendous... "you're a STUPID, LITTLE, SOLDIER, tell me one thing: so WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?".
Dirk is dismayed, he falls on earth with an hand in his head...
"Well, i don't really know what happened , i was flying with my time machine when everything got lost, i lost Daphne and all my childrens, i don't really know what really happened..."
Dirk is getting sad.
- "Mmmmm.... You are enough lucky for living until now!!! You still don't know what is your real enemy and you think to beat him, after all this time!!! Hahhhahha!!!! Please leave.... You weren't ready for the battle, like all the knights that crossed the castle so far... "
- "W-what? What do you mean?"
- "We're millenial trees, we keep the legend of the Dragon's Lair as eternal knowledge's bibles, we keep all the secret of the Dragon's Lair since that day..."
- "What day?"
-"Long time ago this was a great beautiful castle, ruled by a peaceful king and his beautiful daughter, she was called Daphne. I was the magician and the inventor of the land, everything was left into a wonderful life in peace. One day, one knight came from another land. A strange terrible knight i must say, he was remorseless, without any scruple he destroyed the land and got the castle, we turned into trees by his magic creatures, forced in a life without replies and any hope... Hundreds over hundreds of daring soldiers tried to fight versus him, but without any result..."
- "Who is the Black Knight?"
- "Nobody really knows who or what this mysterious creature is. His power is unbelievable, his magical spells and his monsters are only second to his astuteness and his fighting skills, i only know that beating him is near to impossible. I can say that you lost your time until now. "
- "What? And what about the Dragon?"
- "The old Dragon is the guardian of the castle, "little pet" of the Black knight. He loves his Dragon and i think you will have to face his wrath of vengeance soon. You passed all his tricks leaving to the BK time to improve his powers and prepare himself for being near to invincible. Leave your project, there are no more reasons to fight them! You cannot stop him now, it's too late".
-"Why? I think i can do it, as well i ever passed all the dangers in my way!"
-"FOOL! Do you really know what happened so far? It's only one of his usual jokes, he did let you loose a lot of time with the magic illusion, after opening the Dragon's sphere where Daphne was hold, you were trapped into an illusion all the necessary time to grow enough his powers.... so Daphne is lost as us...."
- " DAPHNE! No! What happened to her? Is she alive? "
- "YOU'VE LOST TOO MANY TIME SILLY HERO!, one of the creatures of the castle is Daphne, now she's devoted to BK's magic, she's one of the monsters...he used her beauty to grow his powers. You will have to look inside your heart and see what monster covers Daphne's soul"
Dirk now feels dismayed, one of his hands is closing and his face is becoming even more dark, he's getting sad and nervous at the same time thinking at Daphne destiny. "I must do everything in my hands to revenge her! Tree, tell me what should i do to beat HIM!"
- "If you want to die, there is a sword, a magic sword inside the my cavern, i was trying to restore another rare piece to prevent ourselves by his wrath, you need to take it and train to magical fighting, so it will be ready. That is the other sword similar to BK's one, this sword has a living spirit inside it, and it will help you while fighting because it's prepared to teach and guide his master, it has also several magic powers, and it will protect you from bad surprises. Inside the castle you will have to wake up the army's guardian and let he work on it. Finding other items will help you very much, keep your eyes, daring soldier..."
- "What can i do for you? Why are you helping me?"
- "Beating BK you will free the land from this dark spirits, sunlight is the real thing i really need at present...". - "Well, i must run, thanks old tree"
- "Remember! Only the power of love will guide you to see what is the real Daphne! REMEMBER!!! F a r e w e l l . . .". While Dirk is running away the tree prays for his destiny.
