Chapter 5: Learning Magic with the Titan Show
Luz woke up the next day knowing Boscha may try to tease her again at school. She knew that she had a defense to her now. This defense was the magic she acquired from Steve. There was just one problem, she didn't know how to control or use it. "Luz," Eda said. "You ready to go. You don't want to be late. Amity already left for Hexside."
"Yeah," replied Luz. "I'll be there soon." She grabbed one of the healing glyphs the healing coven gave her and put it on her neck. She knew though that Boscha may try to reveal her secret. She then went downstairs to the kitchen where Eda made food. "All done," said Luz. "Let's go now."
"Way ahead of you," exclaimed Eda as she pulled out Owlbert. They flew to Hexside and when they got there, Amity was waiting.
"I heard about what Boscha tried to do to you yesterday," said Amity. "Next time, I'll make sure that doesn't happen again."
"Aw, is my awesome girlfriend sticking up to me," questioned Luz.
"Of course," replied Amity blushing. As they were talking, the scene began to shift. "Luz," said Amity. "Luz"? Her voice was fading in Luz's her. The scene was now her facing Steve's skull.
"Well," said Steve. "It's time for me to teach you how to use the magic I gave you."
"Yes," exclaimed Luz. "But what about the glyphs? Can I still use them?"
"Steve then answered, "Yes you may. Only use them at the last resort though." Steve began to prepare for his magic 101 lesson. "Now, you will need to cast a spell circle and while doing it, think of the spell you want. Give it a try." Luz did just that but it was a little sloppy. "Try again," said Steve. "You'll get it." Luz decided to try again. This time she got it.
"I DID MAGIC WITH MY HANDS," Luz yelled. Luz then tried more spells. To her surprise, she got them on her first try.
"Excellent work," praised Steve. "You'll still have a lot to learn to make the spells more powerful but this is a start." Luz smiled back.
"So does that mean we're done for the day," Luz questioned Steve.
"Not yet," Steve answered. "There is one more thing. You will not be able to help me alone. You need to recruit a companion. It can be anyone you choose."
"How will I be able to do that," Luz questioned.
"Steve answered her with, "I'll teach you a glyph that will do it. Use this at the right time." Get out a piece of paper or something to draw on." Luz grabbed some paper from her pocket. Steve continued with, "Draw a circle and then apply the glyph to you and then the glyph will appear." Luz did just that. The glyph pulled some of her transformation onto the paper. The new glyph appeared to be a person being transformed. It had a triangle body with a circle head and diagonal lines representing limbs. (The best I could do because each real glyph is a symbol to what it does). After the glyph completely formed, Steve said, "Good. Hang on to that until the right time."
"Will do," said Luz. The scene then switched back to the hallway at Hexside. It appeared it was all just a dream but Luz had the glyph with her still.
"Luz," said Amity. "Wake up. Are you ok?" Luz woke up knowing she was back inside Hexside with Amity. Luz didn't tell anyone what just happened but she knew what she had to do next. It was to recruit a companion. She knew exactly who.
Who will Luz recruit? I think you may know the answer already. But find out next chapter
