(STORY BEING RE-EDITED SO:

WORK IN PROGRESS.)

CHAPTER 4

"Hey… hey…HEY! KID WAKE UP!" I was rudely woken up by someone picking up my head and slamming my face against a wooden board, yes you heard right, a WODDEN BOARD! "Oh sorry dude you alright? I tried to wake you up so I just used the nearest thing from me and I…kind of….thought it was a bucket of water." Said the blue hair stranger apologetically. "Yeah I'm fine I ju-'Then I grab his head and grab the board he used on me and repeat his action on him. "NO I'M NOT OK!" I yell at him. "OW what the heck was that for?" he asks, clearly pained.

"What do you think!"

"Well I was trying to wake you up for hours but, well, I was just tired of waiting for you to reawaken." Replied the hair..blue…guy…hmph I still don't know his name.

"Hey what's your name dude?" I ask. "Hmm? OH um yeah Kevin Wintercloud Mater of Thaumaturgy." He replies.

"Thaumaterge huh? Ice wizard?" I ask.

"Uh yeah I guess being a wizard you kind of already know some of this stuff." Kevin smirked putting one hand behind his head. I look around at my surroundings and see that my current location resides in some form of classroom, as I'm on a small set of stairs. The room is tiny as there are several sets of desks and about 2 stools with each desk and in the back of the room seems to be the teacher's desk with the fire insignia at the front side of the desk. Kevin looked like h really didn't belong, he had well blue hair as I already mentioned, a bit shaggy at that too, and what looked like Viking apparel with a helm with little horns sticking out and in his hand was an axe like figure but it glowed showing it held the power of ice, and to top it his eyes were the color of the Topaz, gleaming with that brilliant hues so I could tell I could always trust and count on him.

Then came a women who was a red head but her extreme style of hair was fashioned to look that of a flame with a blooded color dress, with elfish ears. Then she looks at my direction and asks "Hello . How are you today? How is your first day at Wizard city has been?"

Next came another wizard but in Black and Gray armor which for some reason I knew was Celestian armor and his staff was one with what seemed to be the Grim Reaper on top but like a bust, only his head from shoulders. Under his helm he had black hair just as mine but with grey mystifying eyes which held power from within. "Hey I heard there's a new wiza-" which is where he stopped once seeing me. "Hi! I'm Alex Dragonheart. Pleased to meet you." Said he but also a bit shaken like he was nervous around newcomers. He put out his hand for me and I took it thus he lifted me up and pulled me to help me stand back up.

"Hey what's up." I say as if were good buddies already, which then means at least I already have a friend.

"Hey I'm Duncan Qu-… Skullrider" Whoa that was close, although I think its ok with these guys Ambrose only advised not using that with Malistare around. "So you guys are wizards too huh?"

"Yeah I'm a ranking of Grandmaster Necromancer!" Gloated Alex, who must've been very proud of the title.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah we get it, your 'all powerful'. But really it does get annoying hearing you brag about yourself." Replied Kevin.

I laugh a light chuckle which caught Alex's attention.
"Hmm? Hey I'm serious when I said I was powerful you know!" which he protested from my humor. "Hmm? Well I guess it might get annoying sometimes if I always heard someone talk about themselves like that." Gloomed Alex, which I felt bad at first till he said: "But of course… I'M NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL!" he shouts as if daring anyone to protest! (Which was kind of lame since there were only 4 people inside to hear him at all.)

"Oh… um, ok? I guess I'm no match for you then? HEHE." But then something, as if his day wasn't weird enough and wanted to prove it could become any stranger. A huge light erupts around my body and suddenly, as my eyes begin to adjust once again I'm in a different wardrobe. Of course with my apparent wizard instincts telling me, I was in the DRAGOONS ARMOR, along with that I had a book and now I had new spell deck. With my new transformation I already knew I was a Grandmaster Pyromancer.

Falmea gazed upon this just as the others and croaked "H..how... how have you gotten to Grandmaster so quickly."

"Cause the spiral needs the savior now more than ever." answered Ambrose who LITERALLY appeared out of nowhere after that whole exploding dust thing where it tells you he just teleported which I swear means he could've passed gas, but of course I am not proposing of saying that aloud. "Young wizard. You and your friends must journey across the spiral and collect these artifacts: The KROKONOMICON and the key to Dragonspyre. Here is the key to Wizard city and Krokotopia." He handed me 2 keys with odd designs engraved at the end. On had a giant tree that seemed uprooted, and one with a pyramid. "Thank, you? I guess." I say.

"Wait, what! So now we can travel across the spiral. Headmaster we've been training here in Wizard city practically all our lives. Now we get to go to another part of the spiral? Well I'm all up for that." Cheered Alex. So I'm guessing these guys aren't of earth origins.

Next we go through the double doors of the classroom to the outside; as soon as I exit the class I greedily drink in the sight of what seems to be the campus. I make a slight turn to the left and gaze upon 2 identical other schools but differ in color as they seem to represent a different form of magic; the one closest to the fire school was apparently the ice school and farther out the storm schools all with a tree that seemed to have a face. Then seeing the other side of some over sized tree, I see 2 other schools, in yellow and some light blue and a green and brown one also with trees. Turning a hard right I notice a magnificently sized gaping hole.

"What event occurred here?" I ask Kevin confused of the empty mass.

"Oh there? That's where the death school was originally located. Then Malistare basically moved it. Now resides in the night side of this world."

"Why would he do such a thing anyways? Actually a better question would be how did a professor here go rouge?" That must've been personal, seeing Alex on my right turn a little gloomy at that question.

"Well' Kevin starts' you see Malistare was-"

"IS a great professor.' Interrupted Alex ' He pretty much is…or was I guess the kind of teacher you could look up to. He would always get the whole class to lighten up on a gloomy day. He'd always take risks, if it got us motivated, like putting a feather up Bartley's nose to see if a tree could sneeze, sneak to Ambrose's studies and see if we could scare him every Halloween, which he never did, Best of all he always had some meaningful thing to say to us. And what I think got him motivated like hat every day was his wife, Sylvia Drake, former life professor here at Ravenwood."

"Wait, former? As in kicked out? Was she evil too or what?"Quickly I regret those words that escaped my lips cause then Alex scowled at me, hatred burning in his eyes, then seemed to remember I was the new guy and lightened his mood a bit.

"No. She…She past away. From some from very fatal illness, HA (He laughs sarcastically), funny… The life teacher to …die like that… without even knowing what it was that was bringing her down. Then Malistare… he, changed. Never talked to the class unless teaching a spell, he got angry at the slightest mistake, slowly growing bitter. Then one day after coming from the library, that's when he made his mark and tore out the entire death school from its place in Ravenwood and fled away from Wizard city." Then Alex looked back at me and quickly got out of his mood.

"But now he's threatening us, I don't know why, but we have to stop him."

"Alright, So first things first we get the kroko…nakimura?"

"No krokonomicon." Kevin corrected.

"Yeah krack-anumeria."

"No KROK-O-NOM-ICON"

"YES I KNOW CRACK-IKAMI-NIBBLE."

"NO KROKO- OH FORGET IT!" YELLED KEVIN.

"JEEZ, man you don't have to yell. But why are we after it again?" I ask.

"Because Ambrose told us that Malistare was heading towards that chamber last time but the kroktopian ghosts protecting it barely defeated him, and its rumored he has done something to get it this time." Answered Kevin.

"Ok so we're off to krokotopia. I wonder what he needs with the krokonomicon?"

"KROKONO- oh… wait… you said it right. Hmph well um…ok… good. HEHE oh. Oh shut up and let's get going. See you later Falmea." Announced Kevin. Then it hits me. What about MY teachers, my home, everything else I had left behind, I was only relieved to be away from that overgrown doofus Zac. "Hey how does time work here? Is it different from earth?" then Falmea looked at me and said; "Um I really have no clue. But if you don't take care of Malisatre, he won't be satisfied with just the spiral in his control, do you understand?" then I reply; "Yeah, I get. Take care of Malistare first, then worry for everything else later."

Alright... so, anyone know how to get to another world?" I ask.
