Hello Readers!
Well, after 5 votes yes, 2 reviews yes, and 0 no's, I have decided to continue this story. *applause* Also, to make for how long it's been since my last REAL chapter, I am posting TWO today. *more applause* The 4th chapter will be up right after this one. It is short, but that's because it is the second one I've written today. Also, no OCs appear this chapter or next. Why? Well, this chapter was over half-written before I remembered the OCs, and the next chapter just doesn't work for OCs. You'll understand once you read it. But thanks so much for all the lovely review. :D.

Dear Diary,
Today, I woke up to Gamma chirping outside my window. He told me that the Headmaster wanted to see me. I quickly dressed, then ran to the commons. The headmaster asked me to talk to Sergeant Muldoon in Olde Town.
The sergeant informed me that I was the student everyone was talking about. That they were saying I was Wizard City's last hope! I don't understand. I've only gone to Ravenwood for a day. Besides, since when does Wizard City need a last hope? Something's not adding up about all this...
Anyway, he told me to defeat Lady Blackhope and lock her in her tower. If I did that, he'd give me access to Triton Avenue. I quickly teleported to the Commons, and headed for Unicorn Way. I went in Blackhope's tower, and entered a dueling circle against her and a skeletal pirate. Good News- she had a small amount of health. Bad News- she was life, like me. Luckily for me, the battle was pretty easy. And after she was defeated it was a piece of cake to lock her in the tower. Hmm...I wish I had a piece of cake. I'm hungry. Back to what happened. So I locked Lady Blackhope in her tower, and then went back to Olde Town. Sergeant Muldoon was impressed, and agreed to let me into Triton Avenue. He also said something about a "big, nasty wraith named Lord Nightshade". He told me to look for a girl named Susie Gryphonbane on Triton Avenue. Susie Gryphonbane turns out to be a sweet storm student, who's brother Artur is missing. She asked me to check inside the front of Haunted Cave for her brother. The Haunted Cave turns out to be a dark, gloomy place; spooky and forbidding. Worst of all, all I find is a broken wand. When I get back to Susie, she confirmed my fears about it being Artur's wand. She also asked me to talk to Duncan Grimwater, a death student. She warned me he was a little snobbish though. I immediately disliked Duncan from the first words out of his mouth. I suppose it's natural though, since I'm a life wizard and he is a death... He asked me to help with his studies by fighting some minions while he checked around for Arter. "I'd do it myself, but...uh...I just ran out of treasure cards." Pathetic. I hardly EVER use tc, or treasure cards, to fight. I mean, if you're going to lie, at least make it believable! Anyway, I defeated 5 wood golems and 5 rotting Fodders, then returned to Duncan. He was surprised to hear that the undead were using storm magic, and told me to ask Susie what she might know. Susie agreed it was odd that the undead were casting storm spells. She suggested the strange medallions the Rotting Fodders wore may have something to do with the storm magic. I fought some more Fodders and collected 4 storm medallions, then took them to Duncan. He then requested some lumina crystals to help him investigate the necklaces.
However, Blad Raveneye told me the Undead had stolen them, and were keeping them in barrels along the street. Grabbing 3 of the barrels was easy, but we were disappointed to find the lumina crystals had been drained of magic. When I went back to Duncan, he advised getting a fully charged lumina crystal off a Scarlet Screamer. Scarlet Screamers turned out to be banshees that, like the rest of the undead, looked scary but were easy to defeat. Once I got the crystal, I ported back to Duncan. He cast a spell over the lumina crystal and storm medallion. He stared at an image for a second, then told me to tell Susie the undead were being led by the Harvest Lord- and he had captured her brother! Susie was distraught to hear the news of her brother, and begged me to defeat the Harvest Lord and free her brother. I hesitantly agreed. Drinking from my potion bottle to refill my health, I headed to the Harvest Lord's tower.
I entered the tower, and immediately noticed Artur standing behind a Rotting Fodder, and a scarecrow. And when I say scarecrow, I mean a terrifying jack-o-lantern face above a long black cloak, and a scarecrow on a shoulder. "So, wizard, you too have uncovered Malistaire's plan. Too bad you will have to remain here with the other wizard! The both of you will be powerless to stop us.! Soon the undead will drive out all the citizens and take over the rest of the city! And with the school in our hands, we will rule Wizard City! Mwahahahaha!" The Harvest Lord cackled. And with that, the battle began. I don't even remember how many rounds it lasted. I took out the rotting fodder pretty quickly, but the Harvest Lord was another story. If not for all my healing spells, I would've been dead like 10 times. Finally, I cast a leprechaun that drained the last of his health, and the Harvest Lord was defeated. Artur thanked and congratulated me, then asked me to tell his sister he was safe, while he made sure no plans or records remained in the Harvest Lord's tower. Susie was overjoyed to hear her brother was safe. She also suggested I report to the Headmaster what had happened. As I teleported to the Commons, I suddenly realized I had forgot about school! Uh-oh! However, the Headmaster was very impressed, and assured me he had already informed Professor Wu I was busy questing. He also seemed quite disturbed by the Harvest Lord mentioning he was helping Malistaire. He did not explain however, simply thanked me again. Tomorrow I need to ask Malorn Ashthorn more about Malistaire. Headmaster Ambrose also congratulated me on leveling up all the way to 11! With all the commotion, I hadn't even noticed myself leveling. He told me I was now an initiate Theurgist, and asked me to speak to the duelmaster, Diego, the next day.
I said goodbye to the Headmaster, then raced to the Life School for my new spells. Professor Wu was waiting for me, and gave me the spells Sprite, Legend Shield, and Unicorn. I had room to fit 3 of Unicorn and Sprite, plus 2 of Legend Shield, in my deck. I thanked her, and then returned to my dorm, where I am writing this right now. I think I am going to take a quick shower before dinner. I've been writing for nearly an hour!
