Chapter one:

It was a usual, boring day at Ravenwood. Birds were singing cheerfully, the brights sunshine was shining trough Bartlebay's branches. It was quiet, kids were too busy studying and practicing spells, not having time for fun. Although...

'' Ha ha!'' yelled a playful female voice, echoing trough the tunnel to the Commons. Someone came flying out of it in lightning speed, that even the Diviners were impressed. The students ducked and gave way for the three glittering tracks of fairy dust.

'' Gosh, slow down, will ye?!'' shouted Eric chasing his friend up front. Her name was Katie Nightbloom, a dark skin Pyromancer, who always knew how to turn everything around. Her long red cloak was beating her back, along with the black hair tightened into a pony-tail. Katie and her friends, Eric and Mary, were playing a dangerous game of catch with brooms.

Believe me, when those three are on a role, it's hard to tell them ''stop''. Katie made a loop around professor Greyrose's tower and flew of the other way. Eric and Mary had to pull over their brooms to follow her. In a glimpse you could see what they looked like. Eric was a Diviner, wearing a yellow cloak with purple trims, with a hood over his blond hair. Mary was a Thaumaturge, with long white hair under a frost cap. Her blue cloak had diamonds on the shoulders and chest.

Katie flew trough the Myth school, almost knocking professor Drake with his books ( oh, please, he hates kids already.), then flew around the chasm, where the Death school had to be. Malistaire was it's professor, till he got evil and took the school with him. Last year someone managed to confront him, so Wizard city was back to normal...at least it had to be.

Speaking of years, Katie was here for as long as she could remember. Merle Ambrose found her somehow, with no parents, completely alone. He and Gamma took her in, that's when she had started learning magic. Katie doesn't know how she got lost, nor who her parents were. All her twelve years she was scavenging Wizard city, looking for secrets and all, but she never been to other worlds. She heard of Krokotopia and Celestia, that sounded very cool from other kids.

Katie made a loop around the grate tree, then returned to the tunnel, with Eric and Mary on her tail. They passed the statue in the lake, with two wizards carved on it, and set course for Unicorn Way. The guard wasn't fast enough to stop Katie. She flew around the main courtyard, laughing freely, then turned for the Arena. The huge oak doors were open, so she managed to fly trough the dark corridor, over the red banner that had gold letters writing '' No entry '', and making into the main dueling arena. There were two students practicing. Katie flew around the seats, making it difficult for her friends to chase her. Mary's broom hooked to one of the red cushioned seats and fell to the ground with a Thud!. Now it was only Eric. Katie, wanting to fly to the other side of the arena till the duelers didn't cast anything. She made it right before she heard the ''bells'' of a spell. She pulled over her broom and watched what Eric will do. Actually, he wasn't fast to stop his broom-there was a sound of a stopping car-and flew right into the mouth of a Humongofrog.

'' Ugh,'' Katie whispered with revolt. The kids were obviously confused down there. The frog didn't look happy either- it spins his mouth, trying to figure out what's in his disgusting mouth. It then leans over the dueling circle and spits out Eric.

'' Ow, ow ouch!'' he yelled. Eric's robe was covered in green acid-puke. That had to be painful. He quickly pulled out his wand, and with a wave the puke vanished. Thou, I doubt the stench did...

'' Sorry about that!'' Katie shouted down to him. Eric wanted to say something back, but then a voice echoed trough the whole arena:

'' NightBlooooom!'' Katie crouched a bit. It was Merle Ambrose with some company: Drake, Greyrose, Balestrom and Diego the Duealmaster. Every one of them looked angry.

The three troublemakers were sitting in M. Ambros's office, with their heads looking down at the red, dusty carpet, with their brooms at their feet.

'' ...I can't watch over you twenty-four hours hours a day...'' Ambrose was saying, with the duealmaster leaning to his desk.'' what do you have to say for yourself?!''

Katie was nervously playing with her fingers.

'' It's just...'' she spoke up.'' we wanted to blow off some steam, since class was slightly...boring today.'' Eric made a laughing sound. Mary shot her eyes at him. '' Sorry,'' he murmured. Ambrose rested his old head on his hand. Katie bit her lip.

'' I'm guessing it won't be as simple as that?''

'' What do you think?'' said Diego. Katie frowned and added quickly:

'' Sir, whatever the punishment will be, I'll take the responsibility. I was the one who talked...'' she had to shut up because Ambrose raised his hand.

'' Ever heard the saying One for all and all for one?'' Katie's shoulders lowered.'' You three will have to make up the damage you have caused. Mrs. SwordLight, you'll fix the fountain in the market, OwlGaze, will fix professor Greyrose's tower...'' Katie gave Eric the look. He just shrugged innocently. '' And as for NightBloom,'' Merle Ambrose turned to her.'' you will have to clean the Arena out off Humongofrog left-overs.''

Katie's eyes widened.

'' What?! But...when the puke leaves it's system, it turns into acid!''

'' Well then you'd better get to it,'' said the duelmaster, giving Katie a serious look.
