Magic and Hearts
Lorenzo is a wizard in the human world. He has a friend who also is a wizard in the human world. She is Eliza. As children, the wizards made a serious debate. Every year, the wizard office makes a pair of wizard children reside in the mortal world. At its present state, it is overpopulated.
They lived as normal kids; they love games, laughter and noise. But they got to get to know their identity as they grew. Lorenzo worked as a magician while Eliza was his assistant. They did harmless tactics such as making a real rabbit come out of a hat with no tricks. But, that was when they were teens and didn't take hold of the 'Book of Wizards', a book Lorenzo's family owns. Even if the families of the two live with them, they never told him of the book. They were never EVER permitted to venture into the attic. It was the place where the magical book was spending its time collecting dust. But, one day, Lorenzo accidentally flung a hat into the attic, coming up. "Mother, Father, what is THIS book?" he asked. Lawrence, his father, finally admitted it was the wizard book. "When can we use it?" Lorenzo asked. "When you finally grow up" Lawrence answered. Lorenzo didn't know he was an impatient boy when it comes to magic. He wanted to look mature enough. In both the wizarding and human world, a mustache or small beard can make a young man more mature, and it often did. Lorenzo was like a regular wizard; he loved happiness, but like all wizards, he was a bit immature. He grew a small beard and a slight mustache. But he was still a little immature. He lived in the Victorian era, so he probably got that mustache trend, not regarding his wizardly blood. Eliza, like other women in the era, was busy wearing dresses and gowns that make women in the Victorian era look beautiful. Eliza saw Lorenzo only as a friend. But Lorenzo had a secret feeling for her she doesn't see.
A day later, Lorenzo woke up...TO FIND HIS AND ELIZA'S FAMILY GONE! "It m-means, we're ready to live in the Wizard World. But we have to do something, follow the book, before we go there!" He said. "Well, should we go to the Grand Square?" Eliza asked. "Yes," Lorenzo nodded. To the Grand Square they went.
The audience was teeming with people from different towns. Lorenzo shook the dust off the book. He then started to open the book. The first tricks were extravagant, eventually becoming more and more unbelievable. The last trick, called Appropriation, was the last trick that would bring all wizards in the mortal world back to the Wizard World. Fearfully, Lorenzo opened the book once more. He saw the words. "Majica, de sol la jiabaz wiazardos..." Lorenzo said. It meant "Magic, the soul of a Great Wizard". He stared at the words for a short time. They were covered in some dust—magic dust. Lorenzo shook the dust; it flew into a great tornado. The people awed at the sight. They refused to leave. They knew it was dust, but they could not touch it. It was like silk with the fragrance of roses and incense. The tornado didn't hurt at all. The children touched the tornado; it was like a pillow. Lorenzo wanted to awe with them, but to act natural; he raised his hands and repeated the words. In response, the tornado spun with greater force, finally taking shape. The people cheered. It turned into a mere door. As it opened, the blue magic began to suck the people and Lorenzo and Eliza. The door wound them up in a strange world. The place was pretty familiar. It was the Wizard World. "Oh, no, the people became ghosts!" Lorenzo gasped. Where was Eliza? "Lorenzo..." Eliza gasped to him. "No...Eliza...you're a ghost too?!" Lorenzo sighed. "Yes, I am. Listen to me; I think I can make more of these doors. But I can't join you yet..." Eliza hushed. "Why can't I go?" Lorenzo asked. Eliza pointed at the ghosts saying "They are mortal humans. They don't belong here. To leave them here in such a pitiful state is horrible. Collect them to the door, and then you'll be brought again to fetch more!" Eliza said. With a snap, Lorenzo was obliged to do it. He was pretty good at it.
The last stop was a pretty easy feat. Just one more step and he's good. But, an old spirit of a man pushed him as soon as he fetched the people and Eliza came. "Eliza..." he blubbered. "Lorenzo...grandfather, stop it!" Eliza said. "Now my dear, don't get so..." the old ghost said. "You ended his life!" she sobbed. "No, I didn't do that. Here, listen to me," the old man said, putting his finger on his lips. "But...you got him!" Eliza struggled. She tried to get away. "Not so fast, Eliza Alkmaar!" the old man shouted. "H-how do you know my name?" She wondered.
