It is early evening in eighteenth-century Eastern Europe, and two teens have just risked life and limb to escape from a lifetime of child labor at the hands of a wicked psychological mastermind, Dr. Frederick Fud. Now Will and Dee are running for their lives. But when they stumble upon a cellar with a secret door, they are suddenly transported into a community of extraordinary mentors who are about to change their lives forever. Dr. Fud, one of the most powerful men in the Kingdom of Id, is determined to continue his quest to capture the two teens and make them pay dearly for their mistakes. Meanwhile, Will and Dee meet Master Servante, the leader of an underground community of scholars and inventors, who comforts the frightened young people with his promise to protect them from danger. As Servante and his community help the youths elude attempts at recapture and uncover their extraordinary destinies, Will and Dee must find the courage to face their greatest fears. In this fantasy tale, the two teens must trust Servante to overcome their painful past, in order to transform their dreams into reality-before the evil doctor finds them.

Chapter One

ESCAPE

BEWARE—BE AWARE When You Cross through This Portal, Your Life Will Be Transformed.

"Will, wake up! I heard something outside," Dee whispered urgently. "At first, it was just a dog barking in the distance. But then I heard something strange. I've got a bad feeling about this."

It was about six in the evening on an early spring night in Eastern Europe. Earlier that afternoon, the two youths had risked life and limb to escape from a lifetime of child labor at the hands of the infamous Dr. Frederick Fud, owner and procurator of the Fud Institute. Now the people who had kept them under constant surveillance throughout their short lives were hunting them down like animals.

Will's blue eyes popped open immediately. Aroused from an exhausted sleep, he reached for his forehead, which was throbbing in pain. He could feel the cut through the blood-soaked, makeshift bandage his sister had skillfully wrapped around his head to stanch the bleeding. He struggled to his knees and crawled to the window. Bruised and battered from their ordeal, Will and his sister had taken shelter in a deserted sixteenth-century home on the edge of town, complete with dirt, dust, mold, and cobwebs. Thanks to its view of both the main street and the village beyond, it seemed like a good location for an interim hideout. For protection from the early-evening chill, they had covered themselves with musty sheets that had been strewn over bits and pieces of discarded living room furniture. Then they had huddled in the corner of what had once been an elegant dining room for some much-needed sleep.

It had grown dark during the hours that they slumbered. Will rubbed his eyes and shook his head to get his bearings. He was a thin, gaunt-looking boy of fifteen. Though he was quite pale, with the oily, acne-covered complexion of most boys his age, he also possessed many striking features that made it clear he would be a handsome man: wavy, sandy-colored hair; a strong jawline; and most impressive of all, piercingly deep blue eyes.

His sister, on the other hand, was already maturing into a beautiful young woman. Her short auburn hair set off her large green eyes. And though her olive complexion was pale because she spent most of her time indoors, her face was free of blemishes or freckles. Tonight, however, it was hard to see her complexion at all under the dirt and grime.

Suddenly, Will heard a rustle in the overgrown bushes surrounding the property. His eyes scanned left and then right, surveying the yard as best they could in the darkness. He caught a glimpse of something in the distance—the reflection of shiny steel against the dense landscape.

"Come on, Dee!" exclaimed Will, now wide awake. "We have to move!" He grabbed her hand, pulled her to her feet, and headed for the stairwell leading to the second floor.

Dee stopped abruptly. "Wait," she said. "The first place they'll look is the attic. I've heard that these old houses have dug-out cellars with crawl spaces that could offer us better hiding places."

Will considered it for a few seconds. "Okay, let's hurry," he said, rushing around the corner and through the tattered basement door.

The wooden stairwell with its unstable handrail descended a few steps to a landing. From there, they could move off to the left or continue down another set of steps to the right. As they continued deeper and deeper, away from the main floor and their pursuers, their only light came from a nearby streetlamp that shone faintly through a small, grimy basement window. They did not stop to think; they brushed aside the cobwebs and kept going. As they descended, the musty odor of...
