“Please, pretty please, please, please!” begs the wizard. “I’ll do anything to—”

“SILENCIUS, WIZARDIUS!” yells Mabel.

The wizard continues flapping his lips, but he no longer has a voice.

“Whoa, what are the odds that would work?” says Mabel, beaming. “I just made that up! I guess wizard spells are stupidly easy to guess!”

“Awesome!” says Dipper.

“Let’s get this guy to the king!” says Mabel. She starts poking the wizard with his own wand as Blendin leads the way out of the workshop.

In the royal throne room, the gang presents the wizard to the king.

“Here, Your Royal Highness, is the missing wizard!” says Dipper.

“Oh, goodie, goodie!” says the king. “Guards, take him to the tower! There’s a company birthday party happening right now! Make sure he signs the card for everyone!”

“NOOOO!” screams the wizard as they drag him away.

“Thank you, children. Your services are no longer needed,” the king says with a clap, inviting the guards to remove the twins and Blendin from his presence.

“Whoa, whoa, hold on,” says Dipper, pushing them away. “We only did this because you promised us you’d tell us about the pirate. You owe us, man.”

“What?” says the king. “I remember none of this! Surely you must be confused. Guards!”

His guards point the sharp ends of their pikes directly at Dipper, Mabel, and Blendin.

“But, of course, you have done my kingdom a great service,” says the king. “Maybe if you were to help with one of my other tasks, I could find it appropriate to help you out.”

“What?” says Mabel. “If you didn’t help us the first time, then why should we trust you?”

“Because you have no other choice!” says the king. “My guards have pointy weapons, remember?”

Dipper and Mabel grumble.

“Ugh, he’s got us there,” says Dipper.

“So, what are you saying we do, Dipper?” asks Mabel.

“Obviously, we either need to fight that dragon or that knight. Preferably whichever one is less work.”

The twins and Blendin think over what to do.
