Chapter 1: the champion of the boiling isles

We begin our story with a 14-year-old girl named Luz Noceda in the director's office along with her mother.

Luz: And that's the end.

sHe says with a smile as her held a Good Witch Azura action figure in one hand and a living snake in the other.

Camila: The end of what?

Luz: The report of my book.

He says that while the snake bites the action figure.

Luz: I think I took him out of the park.

Director Hal: The report of your book is the reason why you are here.

He says they can hear the students scream, based on snakes.

Luz: Oh. So that's where the reserve snakes were.

Camila: And what were you going to do with this?

He says, holding some big fireworks joined together.

Luz: That was for the three closest act...

Camila: Mija, I love your creativity, but it has gotten out of hand. Do you remember why you were in the director's office the last three times?

Luz: Yes...

Camila: We all love that you express yourself, but if you can't learn to separate fantasy from reality, you may have to spend the summer here.

He says, giving his daughter a brochure of the Reality Check summer camp.

Luz: . . Don't worry, Mom. I won't let you down. No more rarities!

she says that before the snake escapes from his hand and throws himself towards the director, biting his face.

Luz: That doesn't count, does it?

Unfortunately for our protagonist, it was decided that she would go to this summer camp.

Luz was not happy with this when she went for a walk a couple of days after going to the director's office.

Luz: This is not fair, I don't want to go to the summer camp.

she says that before kicking an empty can of soda.

SHe sighs while sitting on a bench, she has to leave tomorrow, but he doesn't want that.

Then he realized that something was bothering her leg, she looked down to see an orange tabby cat meowing.

Luz: Aww, you're so cute! Come here, kitten!

SHe said while trying to caress him, but the cat was quick when he escaped.

luz: Hey, wait, come back!

She begs while chasing the cat.

The feline ran across the street with cars driving, fortunately, she was not beaten.

Luz looked both sides, seeing that the cars were far enough away as she ran across the street.

The cat was waiting for her as he approached her.

Luz: It's dangerous out here, little one. Just stay still and...

It was cut off by the cat that was fleeing again.

Luz: Come on, come on!

SHe screamed as she ran after the cat again. After a few minutes, Luz got tired of running while watching the cat get on a bus.

Luz kept running, reaching the bus and getting into it. She pays the fee with some change and follows the cat inside.

Luz picks up the cat in his arms, gasping.

Luz: Finally... he caught you...

Then he noticed something strange on the bus.

Luz: Hey... there's no one here. Wait! Now! Where is the driver?

sHe shouted when he realized that the bus was driving alone.

Luz: Okay, it's time to leave!

sHe says with concern when she approaches the door only for the bus to accelerate, causing Luz to fall into one of the seats.

sHe was surprised to see that the bus was emerging with electricity.

Luz: What the hell is going on?

She screams, clinging to the cat while the bus goes faster than any normal bus could before reaching an abrupt stop.

Luz fell from the seat, making sure to protect the cat from falling while hitting the ground.

The electricity was gone now, as Luz sees the bus door open on its own. He quickly runs off the bus with the cat still in his arms.

sHe immediately stops when she realizes that they were inside what looked like a cave.

Luz: What...?

He says that while the bus door closes and moves away.

Luz: Hey, wait! Come back!

She screams before the bus apparently disappears out of nowhere.

Luz: Oh, man... where are we?

sHe says that before the cat jumps out of his arms and slips away.

Luz: Hey! Kitty, wait!

Scream as he runs after the cat for the third time. She ran as the cat went around a corner, she also passes through the corner only to stop when she saw the cat standing next to seven, large statues of strange creatures with words inscribed on the pedestals below them.

The cat miaows her while the teenager approaches the statues and reads the inscriptions.

Luz: Pride . . Envy . . Greed . . I hate . . Selfishness... Laziness . . Injustice? What does all this mean?

?: Greetings, Luz Noceda, it's wonderful to finally meet you.

Luz jumped as he looked to his right to see an old man with a hood, sitting on a throne next to six other empty ones.

Luz: Who are you? And how do you know my name?

SHe panicked.

?: I know a lot of things, girl. You see, we have been watching you for a long time, both me and my friend.

The old man said as the orange tabby cat jumped on his lap.

Luz: Who are you?

?: This is Tawny. And I am the magician, Shazam.

sHe says that when lightning came up along his hand, it shocked the

Luz: Wow! Wait, are you a magician? As in... can you do magic?

Shazam: That's right.

Luz: That's cool! I didn't think the magic was real!

sHe says with emotion.

Luz: But what exactly am I doing here?

Shazam: ... I was hoping that this day would reach your 18th birthday, but unfortunately, the threat will be on us sooner than expected, Luz.

Luz: Threat? What threat?

Shazam: 5000 years ago, he was just one of the seven members of the Circle of Eternity. He had chosen a human named Teth-Adam as our champion, a defender of all magic and kingdoms. But to do so was my biggest mistake, since Adam had been corrupted by power, succumbing to the Seven Mortal Enemies of Man and betrayed us.

He says, pointing to the seven statues.

Shazam: He killed my friends mercilessly until only I stayed. It was quite difficult, but I managed to imprison Adam inside a sealed box and hide it in another kingdom. For the last 5000 years I have been looking for a new champion, one who is truly worthy of power and who defeats Adam once and for all. That's why I sent Tawny to bring you here, to the Rock of Eternity. The seal has begun to break much faster than I expected, Adam will finally be released. That's why I want to give you my power, so that you can learn to control it and use it to help others and defeat Adam when the time comes.

Luz: Wow, wait! That's a lot to hoard! Also... why would you choose me to be your champion? I'm nothing special.

Shazam: And yet, even though others want you to be "normal," as they say, you remain faithful to yourself as the kind, gentle and pure-hearted girl you have always been.

Luz: Oh, thank you! So, um... what is this power anyway?

Shazam: Luz Noceda, I want to lend you the powers of Shazam. With him, you will have the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the resistance of the Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and the speed of Mercury.

Luz: Wow! That's great!

Shazam: Now, Luz, do you want to be my successor and be endowed with all my powers?

Luz thought about it, no matter how much she didn't want to disappoint her mother, she knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Only an idiot would say no.

Luz: . . Mr. Shazam, I humbly accept your proposal.

He says with a bow as Shazam smiles.

Shazam: Very good. Now, take my hand, girl.

Luz did what she said, holding the magician's hand.

Luz: So, how does this work?

Shazam: Say my name.

Luz: Your name? Do you mean Shazam?

Suddenly, a lightning comes out of nowhere, hitting luz from above.

The smoke had cleared while Luz coughed.

Luz: What the hell was that? Wait . .

Luz felt different, she looked at herself to see that she was now louder, her voice had changed and she also had muscles. Not only that, but he also wore a purple suit, a white cape and a lightning symbol on the chest area of the suit.

Luz: Wow! What happened?

Shazam: You have inherited my powers, luz.

Luz: Woah . .

I was still surprised and surprised by all this as Shazam raised his hand, creating a portal.

Shazam: Now go, Luz Noceda. Go back to your house.

Luz: Oh, thank you!

She says, approaching the portal before Shazam clears her throat.

Shazam: Luz

Luz: Yes?

Shazam: Remember, you must keep this a secret and learn how to use your powers. And you must be responsible to them.

Luz: I won't let you down, Shazam!

She says that when lightning strikes her, making her return to normal.

Luz: Hey, I'm back to normal!

He says with a smile.

Shazam: In fact. Your power comes with your transformation by saying my name.

Luz: Oh. So... what do I call you so as not to transform me by accident?

Shazam laughed.

Shazam: "The Magician" will be enough.

Luz: Okay, drug addict then! See you later, Magician!

He says, entering the portal when he returns home.

She sees her house just a few blocks away and runs home. Let's hope he hasn't left for a long time. I wouldn't want his mother to worry..
