They entered a dark tunnel under the fortress.

With each step, Eric felt himself drawing closer to his father. He was here. Eric could feel it.

“I say we find the prisoners first,” said Keeah. “Then the bracelet. I don’t want us to split up.”

Julie nodded. “Good idea.”

“We should follow our noses,” said Neal. “The dungeon’s gotta smell the worst.”

Eric winced. Neal was probably right. He wondered how his father was handling being in Droon. He sure wasn’t seeing the best part of it.

As they went deeper into the dark passage, they heard a faint droning sound in the distance.

Nnnn. Nnnn. It sounded like a motor.

“Weird place,” Eric said. “But I definitely think we’re getting close.”

“Close? We’re here!” Neal said. He pointed to a door with a sign over it.

The sign read DUNGEON.

Julie laughed. “Nice of Sparr to label things.”

“He probably had to, so the Ninns wouldn’t get lost,” Keeah said with a smile.

Together, they pulled open the heavy door.

“Please let one of them be my dad,” he said softly. “And please let him be okay.”

They edged closer.

“It’s called plaid,” one voice said. “It comes in lots of colors. You can even get plaid pants!”

“Is that so?” said another excitedly. “I’ve seen the pattern before, but I can’t remember where!”

“I wonder if I can weave plaid with my spider silk,” chirped the third. “It looks quite soft.”

Eric stepped into the light. “Um … hello? Dad?”
