A/n- here's the next chapter. A quickie, and I should have the next one up
as soon as this is posted...
This is my entire chapter 4 in entirety. I got rid of chapter 3 because it had to do with Batman, and who really cares anyway?
Again, thank you Reana, your input is very valuable. And look! I got another review! From Brasenia! Thanks for the vote of confidence! The reason that I keep saying that the original story was bad was, because it was. Anyway, I'll be done editing soon, and starting to write my own chapter again, but I can promise lots of angst! And no mary sue! Wooo hooo!
~Rachel's thoughts~
Rachel looked up at her senior, her face showed complete surprise, but her eyes had a look of understanding in them. She started slowly. "So, are you saying that I died on my ordeal? Wouldn't that mean that I wouldn't be a wizard?"
Ronald struggled to answer; this whole conversation seemed too much for him. "From what I gather, you completed your ordeal before you died, and then, the Lone One, he, he, /killed/ you. So, if you were brought back to life, then you would still be a wizard."
Rachel stood up and stared at Ronald, shooting daggers at him. "I don't, tell me, why was I brought back? Why? If you know all the answers, tell me why I was spared while my partner went to the timeheart!?" She fell back onto the couch, sobbing. Her ordeal had been ten years ago, but last night's wounds were still fresh.
Ronald looked at her with compassion, but plowed on, not caring about Rachel's emotional state. "Rachel, have you ever looked at you power level markings?" Rachel sat up, and dried her eyes, when he mentioned this subject, and Ronald continued. "As you know, a normal wizard usually ahs the height of their power when they begin, and they usually have no higher rating than 10 points. You, on the other hand, my dear, have been baffling me. You started as a wizard as around 12 points, and have continually increased levels by more than 2 points a year, and your power seems to be growing exponentially (A/n- exponentially- increased by exponents, ie:2, 4, 16, 256). Right now your power rating is at 32 points, and by the time you are thirty, you will be at approximately 90 points, and then..."
Rachel tightened up, she knew that he had stopped for a reason. She gave him a steady look. "What comes after 90?"
Ronald looked straight into Rachel's eyes. "The power ratings for a wizard stop at 100 points."
"Sure, that makes sense, no one has been powerful enough to need more than 100 points, right?" Rachel asked hopefully.
Ronald's face paled, which made his numerous freckles stand out even more then they usually did. He cleared his throat, and then began again. "No, they just stop. You don't understand. A wizard cannot have a rating over 100 points. Once you pass 100 points, you are something entirely different, not a wizard."
Rachel was flabbergasted (A/n- I love that word!) by the news she just received, and it literally knocked her over. She sat up again, and asked her senior, "What are you after 100 points?"
Ronald started to explain, "there is a natural order to the power of magical beings. First, are the normal people, the 'muggles' as witches refer to them (A/n-IMPORTANT! In this story, anyone who is a "Harry Potter" kind of witch or wizard is called a witch. It doesn't matter what sex. This makes it easier to distinguish between Harry Potter and the Young Wizards series! This is because we are plagued with Harry Potter authors posting in this section by accident!) Then come several levels of magical beings. I'll find you the chart, hold on..." Ronald started paging though his book, and then stopped and passed it to Rachel.
Rachel examined the chart. It listed several magical beings at the bottom, then it had witches, and then on the next level, wizards. Then, the chart stopped. There were obviously other levels, there were spaces for them, but the names were nowhere to be found. At the very top of the page, it said, "The Powers That Be" as the highest level. "Ronald, why doesn't the book have the names to any of the levels after wizards?"
Ronald explained, "Usually, magical beings have no knowledge of beings more powerful them, except for the lowest level magical beings, the goblins and sort. No witch, except for a very powerful one, knows that wizards exist."
Rachel's voice raised an octave again. "what does this have to do with The Powers bringing me back?"
"I think that you have a great destiny ahead of you. The Powers obviously needed you to help them, so they brought you back."
Rachel didn't seem very happy about this. "So, you mean, I'm a pawn?"
Ronald thought about this and the answered. "You are not a pawn. Everything you do is part of your fate, and The Powers cannot stop that. You should be honored. You may be able to make a real impact. With the kind of power you may gain, you could do so much good..."
Rachel interjected before he could finish. "Or, so much evil. I'm only one person, with this much power wouldn't the Lone One want to corrupt me?"
"Obviously, that will be part of your fate. But Rachel, you are strong. I believe that you will be able to resist His calling."
=*=*=*=*=*=
Rachel and Ronald talked for a while longer, but when Rachel looked back at the conversation, she couldn't remember a thing, she was in so much shock. At 3 o'clock she boarded the train again.
~It only took three hours for me to find out that I may be the most powerful wizard, and that millions of people's life will be my responsibility. Hahaha that's a riot.~
Rachel fell into restless sleep. Her dreams her filled with clowns. In it, she was Atlas, holding the whole world on her shoulders. There was a dark shadow, telling her to drop the world, and she refused. So, he forced her to drop it .as she did, it turned into a paperweight, and broke into a million pieces.
