WINGED FEET
CHAPTER 8
Disclaimer: If I owned anything from Valdemar, I would be making a book out of this. But I don't so since this disclaimer is here, nobody can get my hard-earned money.
Author's Note: In this chapter, I'm making up some stuff and hope that nobody hates me too much for that. It isn't as bad as last chapter though. No sad stuff. And I think I can see a definite end to this story. A few more pranks though are still needed. Thanks to all those who reviewed.

As sad as recent events had become, we still continued our pranks. At first, we did them because we could forget what had happened. But soon, all of us realized that we liked to make other people laugh. Seeing smiles on sad faces helped us deal with our own grief and soon we were almost back to normal.
Winter passed and Spring Equinox was approaching. We were now in our fourth year. Spring Equinox is a kind of festival for everyone. It lasts for seven days and during that week, all the students had no classes- although we did have some chores. Since the students had the whole week free, the Winged Feet decided to involve the students in a little prank contest for the first day of the week.
All students ate together for dinner, so we arranged for the announcement to e a week before the Equinox to give all the people who wanted to join this contest time to plan. We were all rather nervous, considering it was our first public announcement. All I can remember before dinner was asking my Companion :What is somebody recognizes us? What if something goes wrong?:
As soon as we were ready, we released the smoke bomb. (A/N: If they can create a powder that makes it seem like lightning, the artificers can create smoke bombs). The Winged Feet appeared, seemingly out of thin air. If you're wondering how, we just slip in with the smoke after Kevin drops the smoke bombs with his Fetching Gift. We looked pretty impressive.
I had been chosen-or forced-to speak. 'Do not be afraid as we mean no harm," I called out. After the little performance, I laughed when I remembered my little act. "My name is Seamist and beside me are Evergreen, Fireblade, and Scroll. You might have heard about us. We are the Winged Feet!"
A murmur spread throughout the room. Fireblade held up his hand and received immediate silence. I continued, "Due to the Spring Equinox, we have decided to host a contest of pranks. You can take part in it. With a group of friends, you need to come up with a pranks for this place."
Evergreen then stepped forward and spoke her piece. "To make sure no one ends up in the House of Healing, we have a few rules. Don't hurt anyone with your pranks. Don't prank any ambassadors. We don't want a war."
It was Scroll's turn. He held up the box that we had prepared for this prank. "After you thought of your prank, write your names on a piece of paper along with the prank, how you plan on achieving this prank, and who you will prank. We won't accept any groups who don't take this seriously and who might hurt someone with their prank. We will pick up the box two days before the Spring Equinox."
As Scroll sat the box down, Fireblade said, "The next day, we will put up the list of who will go when. You will meet one of us in a location of our choosing. We will let you know where. One of us will follow your group, but not help you in any way. Points will be given for originality, creativity, and if you get caught or not."
"Lastly, your pranks shouldn't have any permanent affect and doesn't take too long to do. We will only have the first day for all your pranks," I spoke again. "We want to give everyone a chance. Prized will be handed out after the festival as we will be rather busy during the week.'
Some laughed at the meaning behind my statement. Then Evergreen dropped a smoke bomb and we disappeared again.

Even though most students had been amateurs, some pranks had been very original. We listened to reports from out members. Scroll was still muttering threats to amateurs.
"Lighten up. Painting all the rooms so they looked like forests in spring was very original," said Evergreen.
Scroll scowled. "You weren't the one who had to witness the fish prank. I hope the smell will vanish after a bath," he told all of us. That was the reason he was sitting the farthest away from us and downwind.
All of us smiled. It was a good day for us, but not for the queen, who was still unconscious after a little nervous breakdown. She had lasted almost the whole day, but had broken down in private. It wasn't widely known, though. The Companions had told us.
(A/N: I am not going to describe all the pranks or which won. Actually the prank that won would be warned of some future pranks of the Winged Feet.)
~*~*~*~
It definitely wasn't the last breakdown the queen had that week. On the next day, we decorated the palace with plant-again. After that, we made it fog in the council room-dry ice or smoke bombs for that prank. Then we decorated a few uniforms. It is an antique prank but we still liked drawing. People learned to despise chickens after that. On the fourth day, we planned our prank at lunch. We put salt into the peppershaker and pepper into the saltshaker. Those who won the contest were warned ahead of time. But lunch certainly tasted odd that day.
On the next to last day, we painted most of the palace pink. Since it was easily washed off, the queen wasn't too angry with us. We made up for it by gluing the hands of the councilors to the table on the last day. All in all, we thought it was a successful week for the Winged Feet.
Author's Note: Hope I didn't mess anything up. Next chapter will be shorter, since I will only describe one prank. My thanks to all those who reviewed the last chapter.
