Chapter 3

The next morning, Glinda was teaching sorcery class. she smiled at Niella as the girl sat down in the front row. "Now class, today we are going to learn a simple summoning spell. This will be very useful if you need to get something from a hard to reach place." Glinda began, most of the students in the class listening closely. "Now focus you powers, and repeat after me. Fera ruvey kah... Then you just say what you wish to summon. Right now, we are simply going to try and summon these small rocks." The blonde witch instructed, motioning the pebbles that sat on each of the students desks.

Over the rest of the class period, most of the students had successfully managed to use the summoning spell. Glinda noticed that Niella only had to try once before the pebble flew into the girl's hand. Obviously Niella had a natural talent for magic. A lot like another girl I used to know...

After everyone left class, Glinda stayed behind.

She pulled the Grimmerie out of her bag and sat down in her chair. The spell book was the only memory the good witch had left of her old friend Elphaba. She remembered how the green skinned women gave it to her and how her last words were for Glinda to learn how to read it.

Unfortunately, Glinda had never been able to read the lost language of spells. It was just so confusing. She had tried to use simple spells so many times, but all attempts failed. "Oh, Elphie. I've failed you." The blonde whispered to herself, trying not to cry.

Glinda heard a voice call her name from outside the classroom. "Coming!" She called back, walking out of the room, leaving the Grimmerie on her desk.

After helping the student who called her, Glinda started to walk back to the room. But before she even got to the door, she heard a familiar voice chanting in a strange language.

Glinda recognized the language as the lost language of spells, but why did that voice sound so familiar? It sounded a lot like...Elphie! She ran into the room, only to find Niella reading a spell from the Grimmerie. "Ahven, tatey, aven tatey aven..." The young girl chanted.

Glinda remembered the words to be the same words Elphaba had used back when they first went to the Emerald City together. A levitation spell. When Niella stopped chanting, a small pink flower that was sitting on Glinda's desk started to float. The blonde witch gasped, causing Niella to quickly turn around.

"I-i'm so sorry Professor Glinda! It's just that I've heard so much about the Grimmerie, and I just wanted to try one little spell!" Niella explained.

"It's alright, your not in trouble. It's just that...how did you read that spell? I've been trying for years and I've never been able to read anything!"

"Well, uh...It just came naturally to me, I guess."

"Oh...well forgive me for asking, but...what is your mothers name?"

"Uh...I'm not sure."

"Oh...Well, you should probably be going now."

Niella left the room without another word. Glinda watched the tiny pink flower float threw the air. how had Niella been able to read that book? Something was strangely familiar about that girl, but what was it?
