Chapter Nine

King Scalebeard

The streets of the kingdom were as deserted as the main courtyard. The three Skylanders swam past overturned market stalls, abandoned houses, and overgrown seaweed on their way to the palace. Usually the royal gardens were pristine, Gill thought, before correcting himself—usually the royal gardens were crowded.

Finally, they spotted someone, an elderly merman snoozing on a hammock slung between two coral lampposts.

“Wakey, wakey,” called Zap, but the old-timer did not stir. He just kept on slumbering, gulping in mouthfuls of water with each snore. Even a short, sharp shock from Zap’s electric breath didn’t wake the guy. He just muttered something and then rolled over in his hammock.

“What did he say?” asked Wham-Shell.

“I think he asked why I couldn’t leave him alone like everyone else . . .”

“Who else?” asked Gill. “There’s no one here.”

“You said it,” said Zap. “I’ve no idea why you thought coming here would help us find the fragment. The place is a ghost town.”

“At least someone’s at home,” said Wham-Shell, pointing up at the tower that loomed over them. “Unless they left a light on.”

Gill looked up. Sure enough, a solitary light was burning in a stained glass window high above.

“That’s the throne room,” Gill said excitedly. “King Scalebeard must still be here.” He hurried toward the tower’s door. “Come on. He’ll be able to tell us what’s been happening.”
