8 The Spying Eyeball

CHAPTER 8 THE SPYING EYEBALL The Dragon Masters watched as Phantom's Ghost Vision eyeball spied on Zoltan. The wizard waved his hand over a glowing green ball perched on a stand. "There's the Dream Orb," Bo said. When it's glowing, that orb looks like one of Worm's energy bubbles, Drake thought.

Near Zoltan, eerie moans came from a large wooden box. "Quiet, you two!" Zoltan snapped. "I am trying to concentrate." "What is in the box?" Drake asked. "Zoltan has two ghost minions named Creak and Sneak," Sandor replied. "He keeps them in that magical box and only lets them out when he needs them to do something for him. They're not too bright, but they can cause lots of trouble." "Zoltan is not a nice guy," Bo said.

Zoltan waved his hand over the orb again. "Finally," he muttered. "I have figured out how to activate this Dream Orb." "Oh no!" Drake cried. Zoltan glanced at a clock on the wall. "It's almost midnight. At that time, my spell book will finish charging under the full moon. Then I can use it to unlock the powers of the orb." The wizard's eyes narrowed. "I sense I am being watched. Sandor, is that you?" "Phantom, end Ghost Vision!" Sandor yelled. Phantom's body glowed, and the eyeball zoomed upstairs. Then the dragon took a deep breath and both the eyeball and the glowing bubble disappeared back into his nostrils.

"We need to find a way into Zoltan's workshop," Drake said. "I have a better idea," Sandor said. "Zoltan charges his spell book in the belfry. It is the castle's highest tower and moonlight shines through a hole in the ceiling. If we can get to that book before he does— "Then we can destroy it and Zoltan will never be able to enter the Dream World!" Drake finished. Bo stood up. "We must hurry to the belfry!"
