S02E214 The Zulu Heritage, Part 15, Joy Shelley’s Guardian Spirit

Guy Hasson
Age: 9, Told by Grampa Walt

“Stop, stop, stop!” Justin raises his hands. “We can’t believe this Guardian that he knows where Red is or that he’s a dream creature from outside my dream like the Fairy Flies. He’s a villain. He’s lying.”

Amahle clicks her tongue to indicate ‘No’. “Justin, you do not understand. Tell them what you told me,” she tells the Guardian.

The Guardian looks at Amahle in anger, then looks away. Amahe can’t see his expression, but she notes the silence. “All right,” she says. “Justin. He has told me he is of the Adroazni, a guardian spirit, and a child of the god Adroa.”

“So?” Justin says.

S02E213 The Zulu Heritage, Part 14, What Happened to The Red Dragon

Guy Hasson
Age: 9, Told by Grampa Walt

Justin shakes his head immediately after the initial surprise. “He’s lying to us, Joy. He’s a villain and he knows we care about Red.”

Joy nods vigorously. “Lying. Red’s not dead and he wouldn’t know it!”

Justin takes her hand. “Shame on you,” he tells the Guardian. “It’s a good thing we never talked all these years. You are evil.”

“My friend is dead!” the Guardian yells at them as Justin and Joy turn their backs to him. “And it is your fault!”

“Shut up!” Joy whirls around. She takes off her necklace and throws it into the Guardian’s cell, where it lands on the floor. “I don’t want it! I don’t want anything from you!”

S02E212 The Zulu Heritage, Part 13, The Angry Guardian

Guy Hasson
Age: 9, Told by Grampa Walt

“You,” he says. “What did you say to my daughter!”

I stretch my neck and see a man approach the bars. I have seen him before, but I did not pay him much attention, since Joy and Justin both pointedly ignore him every time they walk into the Infinite Prison. Now that Amahle says he comes from legends in the Congo, that gives more context to his black skin and his black hair that’s cut very short. The right half of his face is almost entirely covered by a metal mask, with room for an eye to peek through. But there is no eye behind that hole, but a soft yellow glow. Anything that is not covered by the mask looks human, including the other eye. He is tall, thin, and wiry.

S02E211 The Zulu Heritage, Part 12, The Guardian

Guy Hasson
Age: 9, Told by Grampa Walt

He crooks his head. “Amahle, which of the villains could possibly convince you that Joy is an honorary Zulu when you were very clear on the point that she wasn’t?”

“It was–” Amahle begins, when Joy cuts her off.

“No, Amahle!”

“He is your father, Joy. We do not keep secrets from him and there is no reason this should be a secret. It was the Guardian Spirit in your prison.”

“I have a Guardian Spirit in prison?”

S02E206 The Zulu Heritage, Part 11, Amahle’s Ghost Dreams

Guy Hasson
Age: 9, Told by Grampa Walt

The next day, Amahle appears on the deck and ghosts of her ancestors fill the air. Suzy and I lock the door to our home. But a few ghosts just pass through the walls.

Thankfully the ghosts are not aggressive and do nothing but moan and wail.

I look out the window. Master Mind is taking the ship up and to the tunnels.

Suzy looks at the ghosts fly past her. I wonder how afraid she is, but she says, “Amahle is in so much pain, Walt. I wish I could help her.”

S02E205 The Zulu Heritage, Part 9, The Box

Guy Hasson
Age: 9, Told by The Red Dragon

Justin sighs. “Okay. Okay. Let’s all calm down, okay? This is a tough day. Amahle, you’ve yelled at Joy enough, we’re done with that. We’ll talk about it another day, when everyone’s not so excited.”

“You mean when I’m not so excited,” Amahle says.

“You have had a great tragedy. I don’t know what I would do if that ever…when that ever…” his eyes sneak a look at Suzy.

“I want to talk about it now!” Joy stomps her foot.

Justin stands between Joy and Amahle, his back to Amahle. “No! You can’t talk to her now.”

“Why not!” Joy demands.

S02E158 The Children, Part 5: Charlie Saves the Day

Guy Hasson
Age: 7.5, Told by Grampa Walt

Charlie looks around helplessly as one of the dark creatures attempts to grab Joy.

Joy leaps out of the way, but it was close.

Joy’s weapon needs to recharge. Justin, whose dreams these are, is an obsessed dreamer and can’t snap out of it. And Master Mind’s weapons aren’t working on them.

Charlie raises his hand as if about to conjure something as a dreamer. But he doesn’t. His mind is clearly a blank.

Master Mind leaps at one of the creatures now flying above the ship, who is trying to grab Joy. He grabs the bottom of its taloned leg and is now rising into the air with the creature.

S02E47 The Demise of the Martian Space Pirates, Part 2: The First Prisoner

Guy Hasson
Age: 6, Told by Grampa Walt

“Watch, Charlie, Grandma, Grampa,” Joy holds the shackles of one of the six Martian Space Pirates, who are just standing there on the deck of Bonny’s Revenge, and points in the direction of the doorway next to her cabin. “All you have to do is point and they go.”

“That’s right,” Justin says. “At this point the villains never resist. And Joy just leads them.”

Joy leads the prisoners. Charlie walks next to her, his eyes sparkling with excitement. Justin, Suzy and I walk behind them. Master Mind stays on the deck.

S02E002 The Morning After, Part 2: Bonny’s Revenge

Guy Hasson
Age: 6, Told by Grampa Walt

Suzy and I climb aboard the ship. Joy is still asleep. Justin is still awake.

As we climb up the ramp, she points at the three very big cannons that are jutting out from the side.

I nod. “They are prepared for war,” I say.

We make it to the top and go on the deck.

Everything’s made out of wood: The floor of the deck, the railing, the cabin, the other cabin-looking thing next to the cabin, the stair leading up to the wheel, the wheel, and mast, and the crow’s nest far above it.

“My god,” she says. “This is where they live.”

#302: What Do You Want, Part 3

Guy Hasson
Age: 4, Told by The Red Dragon

Joy Shelley, the girl I have come to call Dragon Little, was only a few weeks past being four and a half years old when I saw her do something I have never seen her do.

Her father, Justin Shelley, the one I call Dragon Father, had disappeared at the end of another fun adventure. Another prisoner had been added to the villains in the Infinite Prison in the infinite corridor in the belly of Bonny’s Revenge.

Dragon Little sat on the plank and stared glumly at the ocean.

Then, suddenly, she jumped up to a standing position on the plank, and walked back to the deck. She walked down the stairs which led to the Infinite Prison and out of my sight.

#272: Backwards Day: Doing the Unthinkable

Guy Hasson
Age: 4, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Father and Dragon Little made two more stops in their Backwards Day, each time giving pirates treasure rather than taking it back. Dragon Little, who first enjoyed the thought of having a backwards day, was liking the day less and less.

“And now,” Dragon Father said, clapping his hands together excitedly. “We meet the villain.”

“Yai!”

“Let’s go,” he left the wheel of Bonny’s Revenge.

“Where is he?” Dragon Little ran after him.

“He’s in prison, of course!” Dragon Father said, getting closer to the stairs that lead to the Infinite Prison in the belly of the ship.

#261: To the Rescue - Part 4

Guy Hasson
Age: 5.5, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Father picked up the sword, this time with calmness and confidence.

Dragon Little was sitting atop the highest branches of the tree, looking down at the clearing. She was five and a half years old and with five and a half years of experience in doing exactly what she wants rather than what her father wants.

The Big Bad Wolf, a giant, black-furred villain that walked on two, stood opposite Dragon Father and smiled, ready for a true and vicious fight this time.

#253: Funny Joy

Guy Hasson
Age: 3, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Little’s laugh is infectious. It is a laugh that makes you want to laugh.

Every time I hear her laugh from my hiding place, I do my best to suppress the laughter that comes out of me. A laughing dragon is not… something that should be viewed.

This is a day I had to hold my laugh many times.

#251: The Squabbling Squashbucklers

Guy Hasson
Age: 4.5, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Little and Dragon Father’s adventure brought them face to face with the Wicked Witch of the Northwest in her tower.

The Wicked Witch said, “Finally! You swashbuckling fools have fallen into my trap!”

Dragon Little, only 4-and-a-half years old, raised her hands and shouted. “No! We’re not swashbuckling fools! We’re squashbuckling fools!”

#225: The Lesson of the Super Ninja

Guy Hasson
Age: 4, Told by The Red Dragon

“Look closely, little pirate,” the Super Ninja said.

Dragon Little stood next to the villain she had just released. The two were faced the closed door to Dragon Little’s cabin on Bonny’s Revenge.

Dragon Little nodded.

“Hiiiiiii-yaaaaa!” the Super Ninja yelled as he ran at the door quickly, jumped on it, ran up vertically a couple of steps, then jumped and flipped in the air, landing on his feet.

“The trick is the speed,” the Super Ninja said. “If you’re fast enough, you can do it.”

#224: The Super Ninja

Guy Hasson
Age: 4, Told by The Red Dragon

Dragon Father had disappeared, having woken up in his other world which I had never seen, but the Super Ninja was not yet handcuffed and the handcuffs were held by the sweet, four-year-old Dragon Little.

Neither the Super Ninja nor Dragon Little responded in any way to the fact that Dragon Father had disappeared.

“Come on, give me your hands,” Dragon Little said.

#207: The Death of the Evil Fairy Forest King

Guy Hasson
Age: 5, Told by The Red Dragon

It is time I told you how the Evil Fairy Forest King died. I have told you of the events that led to his death. I have told you how his behavior affected the 5-year-old Dragon Little. And I have told you how she discovered his body. 

But it is something I should relate. Because you need to know what happens in the belly of Bonny’s Revenge. 

The prisoners in the Infinite Prison are all villains captured by Dragon Little and Dragon Father during their adventures. When Dragon Father is away, in his waking world, the villains become Dragon Little’s companions. 

What does that mean? You will see.
