The Last Bit of Magic
Chapter One
This tale begins with a package, but not just the package, but the one who receives it. Her name is Liana. She is a straight A student with friends and a loving family. Her older brother is an archeologist and her parents are teachers. She is 18 years old and works as a waitress, while playing guitar in a college band. As you can see she is mostly average, at least at this point and time of her life. Of coarse her life definitely took a complete turn from ordinary to extraordinary when a certain package arrived.

"Hey June." called Liana as she tuned her guitar on the couch in her apartment, which was quite a mess.
"Yes?" replied Liana's best friend in the world and the keyboardist in their band called, well um; at this point in Liana's story the band has yet to pick a name.
"I think I finally got our new song down." said Liana. It was her ultimate goal to get the new song memorized that week, which isn't all that hard if you've been playing since you were twelve.
"Listen to this." Liana started out on the G chord and switch between a number of many other chords, until finally the song ended with one last strum.
"That was excellent Li! Now, if we can just get Kevin to finish the lyrics, we can play it next week at the Halloween dance." June was really pumped for their gig at the Halloween dance at the college. It was the band's biggest gig and they all needed the money (you don't make much off frat parties and birth days.)
"Thanks June. I've been working on it a lot. Maybe we can celebrate tomorrow."
"Sounds great! Let's make that a plan."
"Great! Bye." shouted Liana as June walked out the door.
Liana practiced playing that song for another hour after June left, and then headed down stairs to check her mail box.
Now, I bet your thinking that there is a certain package, which was mentioned earlier, in that mailbox right? Well then you are very wrong my friend, for there was no package in that mailbox. No, but there was a package in the coat pocket of a certain man who happened to be walking by. Unfortunately for the man, it fell out as soon as he walked off.
Liana, who did not see the man drop it, stumbled over that package and almost fell.
"Ouch!" she exclaimed. "What's this?" Liana picked up the package and noticed her address written on the middle of it.
"Wonder how I missed that?" she wondered as she walked back to her apartment without another word.
Now I bet your wondering what's in that package. Well, you'll just have to wait. Patience is a virtue, so live with it.

Remember that man? You know the one who dropped the package. In your mind you must think he is a common thief, well wrong again my friend. Sheesh, you are a terrible predictor. Of course unless you're the one typing this story, which we certainly know you are not, you must know all that will happen in this passage. Anyways, back to the man. He is quite tall and very rich, or at least, was very rich. He has iron gray hair and one white streak on each side of his head, plus a goatee, which makes him look positively evil. The man often wears a tux and a pair of very shiny black shoes. Sound familiar? Good, that means you haven't seen him recently, which would be very odd since I completely made him up.
The man's name is Tearsen Dale, A once very rich man, who unfortunately spent all his money on a secret science project. I won't tell you about it quite yet in order to build up suspense. Tearsen desperately tried to steal that package, but failed miserably because it burned his hand. I guess he saw that one coming, because he had a devious back up plan in order to get it back, along with his wealth.
