Joshua HexTail, Age 12, School Fire
In Dragonspyre everything is scary. I hate how the sky is never shinning with sun, it is just dreadful. I live on an active volcano, crazy right! My house perches on a cliff towards the edge of the volcano.
No one even goes outside; I don't even know if there are any kids alive. My father goes to work as a solider for the dragonspyre army every since the demons, dragons, Minotaur's, and evil wizards have invaded. My mother always tells me stories at night how dragonspyre used to be. I wished it was still like that today. Right now I am in my room sitting on my bed bored.
My father should be home, he gets home at 5:00 sharp everyday never late. I began to worry, I ran downstairs to meet my mom in the kitchen making dinner. She has a spell book in her hand but at the sight of me she tucks it underneath her black robe.
She doesn't like me seeing magic.
"Mom where's dad" I ask.
"I don't know", she began to stare at the clock.
I walked over to the couch and sat down. I stared out the windows watching lava bubbles rise up and down over and over again.
5 minutes passed and dad didn't show up. I turned to my mom who was putting on some shoes and grabbing her spell book.
She wore a white shirt with blue jeans, and shoes with her blond hair wiping through the wind.
"Joshua please gets off of the couch" she said.
I rose up from the couch and stepped away. She pulled off all the pillows and blankets left on the couch only to find a glowing golden staff that had a brown triangle on end of it.
I stared at it with excitement. She grabbed it by her right hand and walked out the door.
"Stay here!" She said before leaving the room
I didn't dare move.
I put the couch back together and lay there once more wondering what my mother is doing.
'Is dad in danger?' I thought to myself
it has been more than 30 minutes and I just wanted to run out of the house and go search for my mom, and that's what I did.
I was standing on the sidewalk that had several cracks from earthquakes and eruptions that have happened.
"Bomb!" I hear a loud cracking sound.
I turn in the direction of the sound to see a falling building.
Without a moment to lose, I sprint towards the building. I jump over lava streams and stone bridges that have already collapsed into the river. I see my mother, fighting a Minotaur and some kind of ninja girl.
The girl was dressed in all black with a ninja hood, and had red daggers in both hands that looked like they were soon to slice my mom in half.
The Minotaur swings his gigantic Axe and slices off another building, but my mom is too quick moving out of the way. They seem to be standing in an enormous circle labeled with symbols in circles that the Minotaur, ninja, and my mom were standing in.
I had seen a few wizard battles on T.V. and it was weird how my mother was dodging everything even when she was confined to the small space inside the circle even though she is only lvl 42 balance.
It seemed to be the dagger girl's turn she swiped her daggers in the air and some kind of symbol that came up black appeared just to vanish again.
A few moments later grave stones rose from the ground and a dark angelic figure emerged from the ground with a crescent moon staff in his hand.
"No!" I shouted.
The angel seemed to be taking my mother's life away, since a strange blue energy was coming from her body and into the angel's hand.
When I finally reached my mother she was on the ground either dead or unconscious.
The ninja lady only glared and turned towards me. Sadly the magic circle had vanished and I was defenseless.
I covered my arms over my head hoping she would leave me alone. Tears started coming out of my eyes and down my face.
The ninja lady grabbed my arms and lifted me up into the air; I could feel her choking me.
My eyes began to close and I didn't refuse he grip until I heard a voice that gave me hope once again.
"What are you doing to my family you witch!" came a voice "Dad!" I shouted
"I'm coming son," I heard his voice in the distance.
The ninja lady quickly tossed me into the street and almost into a lava stream.
"Try this on for size," my dad called.
Two enormous rocks of flame came down really fast planning to make impact with the ninja lady and the Minotaur.
I close my ears trying to block out the sound of the explosion.
My eyes open very slowly and I am unable to figure out what is going on.
The next thing I know we burst into flames.
I decided to scream but when I am faced with about 200 people in novice wizard clothing all in the commons, I shut up real quick for I am too embarrassed to do anything else.
Michael FrostShadow, Age 13, School Ice
"Where are you going," I heard the voice of my father from behind me.
"I am going to the school," I told my father not turning around to face him but walking towards the boat to Grizzlehiem.
"I'm not going to stop you but I want to ask you something," he said trying to make me feel bad about my decision to leave.
I turned on the balls of my feet looking straight at my father his dark skin and short always looked the same. Him being a Transcended Ice wizard who went to Ravenwood School of Magical Arts did not want his own son to go to the great school.
"What is your question?" I asked a little nonchalantly.
At this point I did not care what he said because he was always against me going to that school.
"Why do you want to go to Ravenwood?" He asked intently.
"Because I want to be the best Thaumaturge in history," I said lying.
I really only wanted to go because it seemed fun going to a private school and to be with a lot of people like me.
"Well, I guess that is a decent reason," My father said scratching his head.
"I need to go so if you have anything else to say you better do it now," I told him not really wanting to hear anymore of his negativity.
"I wanted to give you something," He said walking inside our house.
Our house was kind of medieval it wasn't small to say the least. It was the biggest house I had ever seen but you know that was just how I was raised. I had money we were not poor we were actually pretty rich for my standards.
"Hmph," I breathed.
My father was taking a while I had no idea what he was giving me but I was going to wait for his gift.
"Here," he said walking out the door and handing a black and white egg to me.
I took it.
"This egg has never hatched. Why are you giving it to me?" I said.
I looked at the egg that had sat on our fireplace since I was born. It has never hatched and i'm pretty sure it wasn't going to hatch any time soon.
"Because I think you were chosen to have this egg and protect it until it hatches," he said.
I was still very confused.
"But that doesn't answer my question. Why are you giving me this?" I asked again.
"Have I ever told you how our family came to be?" He asked me
I knew he was beating around the bush, but I had never heard the story before so I was eager to listen.
"Well you are one of the direct descendants of the frost giants. The frost giants used to rule in the days of yore. They had 'Secret affairs' with humans and that is where are family came to be some of the greatest ice wizards of our time. But, there have been some mysterious things happening in the spiral and I don't want you apart of any of it," My Father said me actually paying attention to him.
"So you think that someone will come for me?" I asked now a little scarred now.
"Yes, and the rest of you," He said looking as if this was supposed to convince me out of going.
"What do you mean 'the rest of us'," now I was a little freaked out.
"I have check with Merle Ambrose and a few other descendants have been scheduled to enroll this year as well.
"I'm still going, this doesn't stop me, but I will be a little more careful," I told him walking away so that I could catch the flying ship to Grizzlehiem
"Wait, I will teleport you there," My dad said closing the door to our house and grabbing onto my shoulders.
I closed my eyes and I felt a cold breeze on my body and a few flakes of snow on my head.
When I opened my eyes again I was standing in front of a medieval boat. I looked down and I saw that there was only a rainbow under my feet.
"Which boat is this," I asked my father because I did not recognize this one.
"This is the boat that will take you to olde town in Wizard City," He said.
"Thank you dad," I said hugging him.
"Good bye son," he said giving me a slight push towards the boat.
I stepped on the boat and I was surrounded by a crew of burly bears. I was looking for any human that I could talk to. The boat left the rainbow bridge and me dad waved goodbye to me and I waved back.
After he was out of sight I went to explore the ship. It would take about an hour to get to the school and about thirty minutes to walk to the headmaster's house from olde town.
Thirty minutes later
The ship was moving at the same pace that it was when we left. We had been driving for about 45 minutes.
"So where are you going," an unknown voice said from behind me.
"To Ravenwood," I told the unknown female voice from behind me.
"Me too," she said.
I turned around and saw a beautiful girl. She was about 13 years old, like me, had brown hair, blue eyes, tan skin, and she was shorter than me! I was happy about that because I never liked girls who made me feel inferior to them.
"Hi, I am Michael FrostShadow from Wintertusk," I told her putting out my hand.
"I am Cianna StormClaw from Celestia," She said not shaking my hand.
"And I don't do handshakes," she said reaching in and hugging me.
I hugged back.
"So are you a novice wizard or a returning one?" She asked
"Novice and you?" I responded
"I'm Novice too," She said walking towards the edge of the boat.
"Wait, you said you were from Celestia so why are you on this boat?"I asked following her to the edge.
"Let's just say I am kind of famous in Celestia and my family always travels by Grizzlehiem boat to keep our travels on the downlow," She replied not seeming like she was very rich to me.
"Well that's cool and it looks like we are here." I told her pointing at old town where we were about to dock.
10 minutes later
I held Cianna's hand as I helped her off the boat. Merle Ambrose stood there waiting for us to get off the boat.
"You two are late but that is alright your parents have already signed you in and all you need to do is come with me to the commons.
He grabbed both of our hands and teleported. I felt so weird when I closed my eyes and I felt warm, cold, hurt, betrayed, and life surge through my mind and body.
When we got there I was dressed in Novice wizard clothing like everyone else in the commons and so was Cianna. The colors of my robe where all black with the accents dark blue. Cianna was dressed in something similar but all purple and black accents.
"I feel a bit exposed," I said being a guy and all.
"Yeah me too," Cianna said still wondering how her clothes changed so quickly.
No one seemed to care because it had happened to them as well the only thing I had still was my stuff in my bag. Everyone else had their bag to so I didn't feel too out of place anymore.
Just a minute later the last person showed up but he wasn't alone. He had an older man holding him above his back and the man had a woman on his back. All I heard were whispers of "O my god," and "What happened,"
"What do you think happened," Cianna asked me.
She still hadn't let go of my hand.
"I have no idea," I said still a little shocked at the sight of the man the boy and the woman.
