Lincoln sat at his desk reading through different magic books, one about family marks. "The mark of the family the witch or wizard belongs to will appear on their left arm and is colored according to there magic." Lincoln read out loud " out of all the books i've read none of them say anything about a mark changing color."
Lincoln looked around his room at the many books that laid scattered around the floor and stacked next to his desk. Some of them he borrowed from Lisa some Lincoln bought with the little allowance he had. Lincoln had asked Lisa for help but even Lisa couldn't figure out what it meant. She was distracted by learning transmutation and alchemy stuff.
Lincoln got up from his desk and exited from his room, walked down the stairs and into the living room where he turned on the tv but all that was on was ads about the new magic academy that was opening up, and where to find new magic supplies.
"Lincoln I'm glad you came down stairs" Lori said. "You've kept yourself in your room for to long without any sunlight."
"I just want to find out what is wrong with my mark" Lincoln said "everyone can use magic but me right now."
"Well the younger ones are just learning and trying new things" Lori said.
"Lana already figured out how to transform into different monsters without even reading a book" lincoln said.
"You have me there" Lori said "Listen im going to hang out with friends."
"Alright " Lincoln said as he slouched down in his chair.
Just as lori was about to leave she said "Don't think of what's wrong with your mark think about what it allows you to do", those words inspired Lincoln to search one last time at the library. First Lincoln grabbed his black zip up hoodie to cover his mark. It was an order from the magic council until they discover what's happening. After Lincoln grabbed his satchel that had a couple of items that consisted of a small mana potion, a small pouch containing two silver coins and a copper one next to the pouch, a small card that was made out of a thick steel that had his family mark and his name on it, and a gold circle towards the bottom right corner that he received along with the rest of his sisters from the grand mage saying "there your Magic ID's . When he ran out of the house and towards the the city he looked up and watched as many witches, wizards and other creatures flying on brooms across the sky landing at shops and talking to other people or going to their homes.
"Just a couple more years until i can get my own broom" Lincoln said as he made his way into town looking at the different shops. One that sold swords while the one next to it sold wands and staffs. Lincoln ran until he got to the library, an old building that not many people go to anymore.
it was old and broken down it's yard was full of dead grass and trees that were rotten or already fallen down. The house itself was a wreck, some of its windows were broken and its paint was peeling. The porch that led inside was old and rickety and every time he took a step the boards underneath spoke as if they were about to break. Lincoln knocked on the door and waited. After a few minutes Lincoln heard the shuffling of feet.
"Who is it" said a light and raspy voice.
"It's me Lincoln" Lincoln answered.
"Oh come in, come in" the old woman said as she unlocked the door. When Lincoln walked in the house it was beautiful. It looked as if the the house was remodeled yesterday but in fact it was very old. The carpets were all pearl white the walls an ocean blue with a hint of green, the dark oak stairs leading up to the second floor was Lincoln's favorite part he also liked how it was like the centerpiece of the house.
"So were those books any helpful" the old woman asked?
"They were a little but I thought I should check again just in case" Lincoln said.
"Well take as many as you would like, there just up there collecting dust" the woman said as she sipped from a fine china cup that smelled of bitter tea.
"Thanks again " Lincoln said as he slowly walked up the stairs and into an old door that led into a small room about the size of Lincoln's room and was full of dust and cobwebs. It was small and Lincoln was amazed at the size of the two bookcases there that housed many books that were collecting dust and in between those two bookcases was a small desk that was abandoned many years ago still holding the old books and scrolls from the last person who sat there. Lincoln looked around the room trying to find a book that related to family marks but didn't have much luck.
"Lets see family air loom, no family information book, no" Lincoln said as he skimmed through the many shelves. Lincoln flopped down on the ground in defeat when a strange looking book under one of the shelves caught his eye.
"What do we have here" Lincoln said as he reached for the book careful not to grab any spiders. Lincoln looked at the book while he wiped away the dust covering the surface of the book it was old its cover was worn and partly ripped and gave off the odor of many things cherries, nectar and other smells lincoln couldn't describe.
"Magic legends research" Lincoln said looking at the cover he turned the cover page carefully fearful the page might disintegrate and began to read the first page,
" I've worked at the magic academy for years now and have read many of these books but none of the books i read had any information where to find what i'm reading about. The first question I had when reading a book was about were to collect the rare flower snapdragon. It is said that the color red of its petals almost looks like blood and the tips of each petal was blue like the ocean. The smell it produced was the smell of cherries freshly picked but when tasted burned like the breath of a dragon." Lincoln turned to the next page and continued to read, " I read many books on what they were used for some people made blazing hot food from it like chili while others made scented candles but what they were mostly used for was potions, because of the powerful connection to nature it had so it made strong potions of mana, healing all sorts but, the books never mention were they were found so I did some investigating about what the flowers like and what they don't. It turns out they like heat and, don't like that much moisture. So i started looking for places that suited those characteristics like desserts and hot caves underground near lava springs and then i found where they grow, they grow at the top of volcanos there were so many of them i wanted to grab as many as i could to sell them but as i was about to pick them a glow of light blinded me i was confused at first until i heard someone talking in a gentle voice saying "what do you have to trade". I offered money but that was not enough apparently it had no meaning so i traded the only thing i had of meaningful value a copper ring that was given to me by my father as he died i was sad that i gave it up but for it i was allowed to take two snapdragons one i sold and the other i gave to my wife as a present i returned another day but was unable to reach the top of the volcano by a river of flowing lava and i have since to returned".
Lincoln closed the book and sighed " not what i was looking for but interesting". When lincoln got up from the ground he looked out the window and noticed it was almost night time already. He threw the journal in his satchel and ran down the stairs quickly saying goodbye to Ms. Shuffle and running out the door as he did he noticed a red red flower with blue tips in the window which brought a smile to lincoln as he ran home knowing that the story was true. When Lincoln walked inside his house out of breath his parents were sitting in the living room.
"Why are you so out of breath Lincoln" Lynn Sr asked?
"It's almost dark" Lincoln answered?
"Ok dinner isn't ready yet but a package came for all of use" Rita said " I Told the girls we wouldn't open it until you got here."
"Cool, thanks mom" Lincoln said as he gave his mom a hug.
"Girls come down here" Lynn Sr said as he walked out of the living room and then back into the living room with the package, as soon as the loud girls heard that, it was a stampede down the stairs and into the living room. Everyone took their seats, Lincoln sat on the end of the couch next to Luna.
"Ok now I know everyone is excited but be calm theres a letter first were going to read" Rita said as she took out the red envelope that had the golden stamp on it and too out the letter and began ready.
Dear loud Family,
After finding out the types of magic your younger children have it is our duty as a town to provide them the best study material they have so one day they can contribute to the nation,
Therefore we have sent in this box a nomocran to study from relating to each of there magic even the elder children have received these to an updated version of what they already had.
Best regards Town of magic woods
Lynn Sr opened the box and pulled out a large book that was all black with a small Loud family crest on it. "This is lucy's" lynn Sr said as he placed the giant book on to the table.
"Next is Lola's" Rita said pulling out a smaller book that looked the same as lucy's but was pink and has a silver crest on it. After that was Lana's, Lisa, Luna, Lori, Leni, Luan.
"Let's see, I think we'll hold onto yours Lily" Rita said.
"Poo-poo" Lily said with a frown.
"Next is lynn Jrs" Lynn Sr said " hey where's lynn Jr?"
"She said she didn't want to come down right now" lucy said
"Well ok i guess i'll check on her later" Rita said
"There's no book for me is there" lincoln asked
"No, but there is a letter" Lynn sr said " it's addressed to you from the magic council"
Lincoln grabbed the paper and began to read
Dear Lincoln Loud,
We regret to inform you but we have made no headway in finding the mysteries about your mark but we have something instead. You and along with all your older sisters have been accepted into the Baldrum Academy the new magic academy.
It is located at the center of ten of the surrounding towns there you will be for a month learning new magic or finding out what your magic is in this case then you go home for a week and then get to continue back at the academy.
"We have left you a small book in the bottom right of the box.
The Magic council
Lincoln looked inside the box and found a little brown book the size of a cracker, "oh my god oh my god" Rita said over and over again.
'What is it mom" Lori asked?
"That new school is supposed to be top notch and it combined with other towns" Rita answered
"Your father and I have to talk about this and get you new school stuff let me have the letter Lincoln."
"Um mom can we use our books now" Lola asked?
"Sure sweetie but loris in charge while we leave. No destroying the house ok" Lynn Sr said as he walked out of the house with Rita with brooms in hand.
All the girls grabbed there books and ran upstairs. Some of the older sisters were helping the younger ones carry their books. Lincoln walked into his room and took out the tiny book out of his pocket but when he did a small piece of paper fell out.
Chant
'Ingrandire"
While holding the book
"Ingrandire" lincoln chanted as soon as he said that the book had a whitish circle behind it with a weird design when the circle disappeared the brown book that had a rainbow crest was now the size of the other kids books.
"Wow" lincoln said as he turned the page to reveal an index of sort it had all sorts of chapters and at the top of it it said "speak the type of magic that you would like to learn".
"Um ice magic" Lincoln said.
Soon the book flipped through its many pages and landed on the ice chapter. Lincoln flipped past the title page and looked at how to use ice sword, "lets see it says to hold out your dominant arm and enchant these words cryo-sword" Lincoln said " alright seems easy enough"
Lincoln closed his eyes and held out his right hand and said "cryo-sword". Lincoln opened his eyes to see his family mark was now a crystal blue that had a thin line of the same color going up his arm and on his shoulders to his dominant arm were wrapped around his forearm and lower arm on it. It reached the center of his right palm where it created the handle of the blade then the guard then the blade. It was all made of a dark blue ice. Lincoln wanted to test the sharpness of the sword so he lightly dragged the blade across his desk and when he pulled away he was shocked to see a large cut along his desk.
"Cool" lincoln said with disbelief
