Disenchantment: Untold Tales Vol. 1

**Disenchantment: Untold Tales Vol. 1** is the first entry in the "Disenchantment: Untold Tales" series of comic books. It was published in November 2023.

The comic contains multiple stories that are chronologically set at various points during either season 1 part 1 or season 1 part 2.

## Dam it all!

This story is set during Season 1, Part 1, at some point after Swamp And Circumstance, and deals with the fallout of Bean’s poor job as an ambassador.

### Part 1: Crawl Night Long

Bean, Elfo and Luci go on an all-night pub crawl, getting drunk. In this drunk state they make their way to Unicorn valley, committing mischief along the way like upsetting Applecart Annie’s applecart, playing nine-pins with Gnomes and insulting a bridge troll. Once in the valley, they enter The Horny Steed, which is unusually quiet. The innkeeper tells them that due to Bean’s bad behavior in Dankmire, the Dankmirians build a dam that is blocking the water, to the valley, causing the fields to dry up and the unicorns to leave. As such, no tourists come to the valley anymore, and the one attraction left is a guy named Sid.

After being chased away by an angry crowd, Bean goes to King Zøg, but he refuses to help since Bean caused this mess herself. Odval advises her to ask Queen Oona for advice. Oona’s advice to Bean is to make peace with Dankmire by returning them Danksy, a citizen who has been a prisoner in Dreamland ever since he defaced the castle with his graffiti.

### Part 2: Lock, Stocks & Peril

Bean, Luci and Elfo disguise themselves as soldiers, free the prisoner Oona mentioned and set out for Dankmire. However, their prisoner, whose body is hidden under a cloak, keeps giving Elfo the creeps as he never talks, but just laughs in a creepy way. Once in Dankmire, the group is taken captive and brought before King Radu, where the prisoner turns out to be not Danksy but Chazzzzz, as Danksy used him as a decoy. With nothing to offer, Bean pleads with Radu to return the water to Dreamland, but Radu refuses as he hopes to conquer Dreamland this way.

Thus, on orders of the Chancellor of Dankmire, Bean, Luci and Elfo are put in stocks and pelted with mud, but Luci frees himself by burning his stocks. He frees his friends, but before they can flee they are spotted by an angry mob and cornered. To fend them off, Bean takes some stones from the wall behind her to throw at them, only to realize the wall is in fact the dam that is blocking the water to Dreamland. They pry loose more rocks and soon the dam bursts, releasing the water. The resulting tidal wave carries Bean, Elfo and Luci back to Dreamland.

With the dam gone, water returns to the valley of the unicorns, which is soon back to it’s former glory.

## Now Luci Him, Now You Don’t

This story is set at least after “The Dreamland Job” as Luci is already owner of his own tavern, but likely before “The Electric Princess” as Zøg is not descending into madness yet.

After a long day of working in his tavern, Luci retires for the night but finds his bed occupied by Hobo, a friend of Elfo. Luci kicks him out and has a heated argument with Elfo. When Elfo complains that he might as well be invisible to Luci, this gives Luci an idea.

The next day, Zøg informs Bean that King Lorenzo I and Queen Bunny are coming over for the weekend, and Zøg wants Bean to be the perfect host so she can make up for what she did to Guysbert and Merkimer. Bean doesn’t feel like hosting the visit, but has no choice. Assisted by Bunty and under supervision of Odval she starts preparations. Meanwhile, Luci tricks Elfo into drinking a candy-drink, and then lies to him that the drink was a potion that supposedly renders Elfo invisible and inaudible to anyone. To further convince Elfo, Luci has all the patrons in his tavern play along and pretend they cannot see Elfo. Elfo falls for it and decides to have som fun with his new invisibility.

While Elfo commits various forms of mischief, the royals of Bentwood arrive at the castle and Bean does her best to pleas them. During dinner, Elfo enters and begins to taunt the guests, believing they can’t see him anyway. That is until Bean calls him out on his behavior, making Elfo realize he is visible after all. Lorenzo and Zøg get into an argument over Elfo’s insults. Bean, who realizes this is Luci’s work, forces him to set things right. Luci thus serves the royals a drink that puts them to sleep, after which they send the sleeping Lorenzo I and Bunny back to Bentwood. Luci apologizes to Elfo and offers them a nightcap to celebrate, but he’s obviously up to something again.

## Elfo and Luci in “Potboiler”

In this one page story, Elfo decides to read a book that is so steamy it catches fire, yet he can’t put it down. So he ends up reading it while sitting in a tub that Luci keeps filled with water.

## The ladies in waiting in ‘Waiting’

In this two-page story, Bean is bothered by her ladies in waiting once she leaves her room, so when she comes back she takes off her boots in order not to wake them.

## The Magic Bean trilogy

This story is set before “The Dreamland Job” as the Flying Scepter still has it’s original name from before Luci took it over, but after “The Very Thing” as Oona is not seen in the castle.

### Part 1: You Don’t Know Jack!

It’s “put your daughter to work day” again, and like every year Bean and Zøg have an argument about it since Bean considers it unfair she has to work hard, while Zøg wants her to build character and show her future subjects she is not afraid of some work. This year, the job Zøg has picked for Bean is bringing corpses to the plague pit.

When work is done, Bean, Elfo and Luci spot a man named Magic Jack being thrown out of the Flying Scepter by the innkeeper. Bean offers him a drink, Jack tells Bean how he once got his hands on magic beans that grew into a huge beanstalk that lead to a country inhabited by giants. Jack admits how he stole a fortune from these giants. He claims it was to support his mother, but the reader gets to see he kept the gold all to himself. He killed the giant that tried to stop him by chopping down the beanstalk, causing the giant to fall to his death.

Bean is impressed, and Jack offers her to visit the magic land in the clouds and other interesting places on Earth herself, for a price of course. Luci and Elfo don’t trust Jack, but Bean buys some of Jack’s magic beans. The beans actually work and a huge beanstalk grows from them after they are planted. The Beanstalk takes them to the clouds, where they encounter a giant.

### Part 2: Luci in the sky with Giants

The giant, whose name is Gunter, turns out to be friendly and Welcomes Elfo, Luci and Bean to the city of Skylight. He shows them around his farm where he grows magic beans and has a livestock consisting of animals collected from all over the world. The trio also gets to meet Gunter’s wife Sigrid and baby son Sven, and get to know the history of Skylight, which turns out to be quite a utopia. The only bad thing is that occasionally the magic beans the Giants use to travel to and from Earth fall into the wrong hands, leading to unwanted visitors like Jack.

When visiting The Buried Giant for some beer, Luci tells how a utopia can never last. To make his point clear he creates a small flame in his hand, which ignites the beer and sets the tavern on fire.
As the fire spreads, Bean and her friends try to help by getting some elephants from Gunter’s barn to put out the fire, but in the process they knock down an oil lamp, burning down the barn, and end up causing several giants to fall off the clouds to the ground below. Worse, the heat from the fire causes the clouds to evaporate. Bean, Luci and Elfo use another Beanstalk to escape the pandemonium, not knowing where on Earth it will take them.

### Part 3: The Elfo who would be Kingo

Bean, Elfo and Luci have ended up in a forest. They are ambushed by a tribe of small, humanoid creatures named the Quelfolitos, who capture Bean and Luci but worship Elfo since they believe him to be their god, Quelfolito.

Bean and Luci try to get Elfo to set them free before the Quelfolitos realize he is not a god, but Elfo is having too much fun with his new status as deity. However, he has Luci and Bean freed after Luci offers to help Elfo translate the Quelfolitos’ language. That night, the Quelfolitos throw a party for their god called The Great Ascension, which Luci and Bean are also forced to participate in. However, as Luci talks with the Quelfolitos he realizes they will kill Elfo if he does not proof himself to be a god during the party by ascending to the heavens. He warns Bean, who in turn tries to warn Elfo. When Elfo won’t listen, Bean tries to force him to come with her, to which the Quelfolitos come to Elfo’s aid and capture Bean and Luci.

The two are sentenced to death, and Elfo has to carry out the execution. Elfo of course is reluctant to do so, and gets even more nervous when Bean finally tells him what is in store for him. In his nervousness he accidentally cuts the ropes that hold Bean and Luci, freeing them. They try to escape via the beanstalk that brought them here, but it is already starting to disintegrate. Help arrives when they are rescued by the Griffin. The Griffin takes them part way home, but drops the three into the ocean when Elfo claims the Griffing can drop them anywhere. Luck is on their side again however as the El De Barge is near , and the captain gives them a ride home. However, in return, he makes Bean, Luci and Elfo clean the huge pile of dishes in the galley.

## Happy Campers

This story likely takes place during Season 1, part 1, as Zøg claims Oona told him to spend more time with his kids.

Zøg orders Bean to take Derek camping so he can earn his Little Princeling Scouts camping badge. He also orders Luci and Elfo to stay in the castle. Bean reluctantly packs her bags and leaves with Derek while Elfo and Luci relax in Beans room.

Bean and Derek head for the Enchanted Forest, but have some trouble finding a good camping spot or setting up camp. That night, when they are in their tents, Bean is startled by the shadow of what looks like a monster, and seeks refuge in Derek’s tent. The monster turns out to be a unicorn and Derek chases it away, but the animal has eaten all of their supplies.

The following day, as they pack up, Bean tries to find some food and returns with berries and nuts. Derek realizes some of the fruits are poisonous, but Bean has already eaten them and gets sick. Fortunately, Derek knows with what fruit to cure her. Bean breaks down, admitting she is bad at camping, unlike Derek. They return home, but Beans’ bad sense of direction gets them lost, so it’s up to Derek again to get them out of the forest. Back at the castle, Derek tells Luci and Elfo about his great time while Bean is exhausted. To cheer her up, Derek gives her a badge of his own making.
