A long time ago, There is world full of magic and the only creatures that can use magic were the Amphibians. Or so they thought one day a human arrived in Amphibia to learn magic. Since she can see traces of magic. A lot of Amphibians were wearily of her at first since she wasn't one of them. The human did make a lot of friends as time went by. Then one day the Head Master went mad and wanted to use the Calamity box to rule both worlds. He wasn't successful as the human and her friends defeated him. Causing the Head Master to leave the school. Years past and the human found an apprentice to teach her magic. For unforeseen circumstances the apprentice some how synced her mind with an abomination that doesn't eat or sleep. The Apprentice reintroduce themselves as Darcy. The human was able to defeat Darcy but it cost many humans to permanently turn into Amphibians. Which resulted that no one has ever seen another human perform any magic. When the Human reached old age she went back to Amphibia to talk with mother olm the wisest on olms. She had foreseen a prophecy: "12 star's burning bright. One human comes from beyond to expel the night. Should they fight or embrace the fall? There choice will determine all." Mother olm told the human. She explained that that another human who will have the same gift of calamity like her would come to our world and train to become the greatest wizard of all time with the help of the 12 stars. Would finally defeat Darcy. With careful consideration, the human wrote to her friends one last time explaining everything about the prophecy and the human that will come to Amphibiaworts to learn magic. A few day later the human died from old age as her family mourned for her.
A thousand years later: A human infant was born on the sixteenth of August. Her name is Amber Armin. This is where our story begins. Over the next 10 years Amber was living with her Horrible parents Edward Armin and Ally Armin with their favorite child her terrible older brother Xavier Armin. Ever since the day she was born the family hated her but had to take care of her since they were legally had to. So they raised her from baby to toddler, when Amber was five they force her to learn how to cook and clean while making sure she studies all the time. So she would be able to support her family. They were so controlling and didn't want her making any friends. Since they think it was a waste of time for Amber.
One morning while Amber got up from her room in the basement. She got out of her PJ's and had got ready to start the day. She put on her red shirt with a orange and yellow shooting star, blue pants, socks, and black sneakers with white lining. She went to the bathroom to wash her hands and face. It is seen that Amber has short red hair, green eyes, and a button nose.
Amber then went downstairs to get breakfast ready for her family. She got the eggs and sausage out. As she cracked a few eggs for her mom she liked her sunny side up. She made her plate then focused on her brother's plate 4 eggs and three sausages. He liked his eggs scrambled. He finishes his brothers plate as she set both plates on the table. As she was about to start on her father's plate when her Mom and brother came into the kitchen.
Ally is a 35 year old woman with long blond hair and green eyes with a button nose. She wore a shirt pink dress and blue jeans with a black scrunchy tieing up her hair for work as a hairdresser. Which means she washes people's hair and tie dyes them for a living. "Amber make sure you don't burn your father's eggs. He gets cranky if his eggs get burn. You already knew that didn't you." Ally her mother said in snide voice. As she sat down to eat breakfast.
She wasn't wrong. Dad does get angry for not getting his breakfast right the first few times when I started cooking. Dad would lock me in the basement for my mistakes. He refused to let me out until I learn my lesson. He would let me out at Lunch time. I had to do a better job at cooking if I wanted to survive in this house hold so I decided to practice cooking when they left for school or work. So I wouldn't miss another meal again. I thought to myself as I finished frying my Dad's eggs and next is the sausages.
Next that came to the kitchen was my terrible brother Xavier. He has short slick blond hair and blur eyes. He wears a grey shirt with a purple logo of a band. He wore his black hoodie over is shirt. He has blue ripped jeans and white bracelets on both of his wrists. He goes to middle school and is captain of the wrestling team. While maintaining straight A's like my parents were expecting us to do.
"Where my breakfast runt!" Xavier shouted in anger at me. I pointed to the table where Mom is eating her breakfast. Xavier went to the table to sit and started eating.
I had finally finished Dad's breakfast as I put it on a plate and put it down on the table where Dad sits down. I ended up cleaning up the pans when Dad finally got to the table as he ate his breakfast.
This is Edward Armin 35 years old: He has silk short red hair and blue eyes. He wears a black suit with a white shirt, and a blue tie. He wears black pants and black shoes. He works as a attorney. Which means he helps people get away with crimes or give them a lighter sentence.
Edward looked at his son with a proudly while eating his breakfast. "So are you excited for your big day next weekend ?" Edward asked.
"I can't wait until my birthday!" Xavier said in excitement. Their father laughed joyfully at Xavier's excitement.
"You only turn 14 once dear. Me and your father had big plans for you on your special day sweetie." Mom said.
I gagged at this interaction. When Xavier's birthday comes around, Mom and Dad would spoiled him rotten. They would get him tons of presents, cake, and ice cream. There was one time that they went to the amusement park. Unfortunately for me I wasn't allowed to go with them or have any cake and ice cream. My parents would sent be to our neighbors, either Mrs. Welch the cat woman. She was an elderly lady with curly grey hair and brown eyes. She wears a pink sweater with hearts on it, grey pants and green sneakers. Whenever I had to go stay with her she would had me sat down on the couch and we look at all her cats she has and let's just say it was a lot of cats. That would take all day to do, I was lucky I haven't died of boredom yet. Then there is Mr. Grump. He is a middle age man with brown and grey hair on the side of his face. He has brown eyes a red plaid shirt with blue pants and a black belt. He is a very strict man and thinks I need more discipline. I can see why my Dad and Mr. Grump get along so well. While I was in his care, he always make me do all of his housework. Which made me very exhausted when the day was over. If I had to choose which neighbor I preferred. I would choose Ms. Welch since she never make me do all of her homework.
"Is there something you want to share with us young lady!" My Dad said coldly at me.
I decided to choose my words carefully so I wouldn't lose my breakfast privileges. "Have a nice Birthday Xavier." I said.
"That's what I thought." My Dad said as he continued to glare at me but now focus of his son.
"You bet it will be runt! Since you aren't going to be there like usual!" He said in a snide voice. Which hurts if I was completely honest. It felt like I was never apart of this family. Most of my life they treated me like an outsider and there personal maid. I'm there daughter for goodness sake. At least they could have treated me as such. That's when I saw Mom got up from her seat to use the phone to see which neighbor I will be with next week.
"I'll call Mr. Grump honey. At least the brat will be taught a lesson for not to insult my baby!" My Mom said in a cold voice. It seems my previous reaction to Xavier has not gone unnoticed.
"I heard Mr. Grump's Attic needs dusting and was planning to do a yard sale next week. I hope the runt will do all that work for him as a birthday present for me." Xavier innocently said. Even I knew he wanted me to suffer.
"Good one son, your beginning to be like your old man. I'm so proud of you." My Dad said. Which disgusted me greatly as I continued to was the pans.
"WHAT! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" My Mom shouted while she was on the phone. Which made my Dad and brother looked worried for once. Mom then sighed as she said "okay fine then." She finally said as she hanged up the phone. Looking upset about the whole exchange. My Dad went up to Mom before asking "what's wrong dear, what happened to Mr. Grump?"
"That was his daughter on the phone saying his father died from an aneurysm yesterday and now she and her family will be busy for the next two week's planning the funeral for him. While going through all of his stuff. When I asked if she and her family can take Amber with them next week. They refused saying isn't it your job to look after your own kid since I told her about Xavier's birthday next week. The nerve of her saying that I should take Amber with us to Xavier's birthday party!" Mom was really mad. Which made Xavier scared at that revelation.
"Mom, Dad you can't let the runt come she'll ruin my special day!" Xavier yelled.
"Don't worry son, we still has Mrs. Welch to look after her, even if I preferred having Mr. Grump looked after her. At least she won't ruin your special day."
I was relieved that I didn't have to be with Mr. Grump this year. I do feel a little sad he died, but after the way he treated me all these years. I'm glad some justice was made. Dad dialed Ms. Welch's number as he talked to her on the phone. Which resulted into a lot of yelling and threatening on the old woman as he hanged up the phone in anger. At this point Mom and Xavier went pale by Dad's interaction on the phone.
"Ms. Welch isn't going to babysit Amber this year either?" My Mom asked Dad in worry.
"Not any more she's not!" Dad shouted.
"It turns out Ms. Welch is going on a pet cruise with those darn cats next week on Xavier's birthday." Xavier looked he was going to be sick.
"Didn't you try to convince her to take Amber with her with those cats."
"Ally, I did tried believe me. Her excuse was that the cruise would only allow pets and adults only. I even tried to threaten if she didn't take Amber I would have the mayor for her out of town. Just like that other babysitter that had the nerve to argue with us. About how we should be better parents to that brat. Don't worry dear I'll have a talk with Henry about this after all he is my childhood friend. We won't see her ever again."
Ms. Swan was a very nice neighbor. I look forward to have her look after me. She would read me stories when I was younger, she let me watch movies, made me meals and she listened to all my problems. She really cared about me. Unfortunately everything changed 3 years ago when my Dad had let me stayed with Ms. Swan for Xavier's eleventh birthday. They were taking him to the amusement park. Ms Swan decided to take me to the same park. At the end of the day my parents discovered where Ms. Swan had taken me. Thanks to Xavier, Ms. Swan argued with my parents about how they were awful parents and should become better parents. She threatened to call child services to take me away from them. My parents laughed at this as they threatened to give it a try. Then a week later the police arrested Ms. Swan for bogus accusations about how she threatened me and my parents. She was sentenced to 20 years in jail because he got his boss and the mayor under his thumb. That Ms. Swan wasn't able to get a lawyer because his boss threatened his employee if they tried to help Ms. Swan then he would make sure that they had no future as lawyers.
I was pretty upset about what happened to Ms. Swan for a long time. That's what I learn they were no going against my family. If you do you get run over and dispose of.
"Why can't you try to contact your boss and your co workers to see if they can take her?"
"Ally I can't, they are going to be at a retreat with there families that week and won't be back until after our son's birthday. My boss put me in charge to run the office alone. If I mess this up by asking them to take Amber with them. It won't look good for me to get a promotion."
"I wish I could convince my patrons and workers to take her but I closed down the salon for renovations. They all decided to go out of town until the renovations are done Edward."
"Why not leave me alone at home?" I asked my parents.
"The runt has a point Mom and Dad. Why can't we just leave her at home?" Xavier asked praying for this last idea to work.
My parents glared at the both of us as Dad cleared his throat before he spoke again.
"Of no circumstances will I allow that Xavier if we leave her here alone in this house she would seriously hurt herself. I will be held responsible for the brat. Listen Xavier I made a deal with Henry that he would look the other way for everything I did. Only if she doesn't get hurt and not left her all alone. Henry threatened to have the police arrest me for everything I did if she gets hurt." Dad said in an agitated voice.
"That means Xavier your sister will be joining us on your birthday if we like it or not." Mom said in a distasteful voice.
"That's so unfair!" Xavier shouted as he went up to his room to get ready for the summer wrestling tournament that was happening today.
"You better not get any funny ideas and accuse us for harming you. If you do Amber your Father will have you dropped off in the woods to fend for yourself in the deep dark woods. Are we clear!" My Mom threatened me her daughter.
I just shake my head. So I won't get in trouble with them.
"That's more like it." Then Mom and Dad went upstairs to get there stuff for work. My Mom would still to the salon to inspect the workers for renovating the shop. Since she doesn't trust them to do a good job. I fished cleaning and decided to get dress and head off to my chores. My dad took Mom and my brother as they head out for the day. Then my babysitter for the day George Lumpkin came. He worked for my Dad in his firm. He and some of the people that her parents worked with would always look after her on weekdays when summer rolls around since school doesn't operate during that time. It's there way on keeping an eye on me to make sure I was doing what I was supposed to do. I lucked out since George wasn't like the other babysitters that had to watch me. He just sat in my Dad's recliner and sleeps there until dinner rolls around. That's the same time my parents would come back. So just like that George went to sleep for the day. Amber went to the living room to start vacuuming.
In a far away place, A giant blue newt with white hair and beard was looking in a crystal ball to see Amber doing her chores while George was taking a nap. He looked at her in deep thought. Then the grey salamander with the scare on his left eye looked at the giant blue newt and the girl on the crystal ball. "Andrias. Are you sure about bring in this human in for the school year sir. I know our old friend said that another human will be admitted her someday. I didn't think it would be this year with my nephew attending." The grey Salmander said.
"CroCro please my dear friend." Andrias said sternly to his old friend.
"I wouldn't have suggested this if she didn't show up on Valeriana's crystal ball."
The grey salamander sighed at this since they had been using Valeriana's crystal ball to help them to determine where to send Amphibiaworts acceptance letters to. For right now Cronaxx had sent a letter to his nephew Tint and his best friend Darrel Loyalists. Andrias had sent letters to the Boonchuy twins and the Planter twins of there colleague Hopidah Planter. Lady Olivia had sent a letter to Marcy the Wu's second oldest. Grime had already sent a letter to his adoptive son Ethan and his student Sasha Waybright who is considering her options since she now has a total of three acceptance letters. Yunan had gave letters to Tyler, Ivan, and Sparky the Smith's youngest. Now that a human has appeared on the crystal ball. It had thrown everything upside down as Andrias was now writing down an acceptance letter and a syllabus for this school year. Then Andrias whistled as his window when a red and white bird with a scar on it's right eye and is wearing Newtopia golden armor.
This is Joe Sparrow. A large Sparrow that Marcy found when she was stranded on an island when she snuck onto the ship where Yunan was doing a mission on a boat. It turned out that the ship was full of dark amphibian wizards. Yunan was able to capture them all but the boat crashed onto an isolated island. Luckily Marcy found Joe and was able to take them home to Newtopia. The Wu's where happy Marcy is safe from harm. Andrias decided to give Joe to Marcy as her pet when she goes to Amphibiaworts. By this time Andrias is using Joe to deliver letters to his future students. Now he got a letter for Joe to deliver as he put the letter in a special container for Joe to where.
"Listen Joe, I have an acceptance letter for you to deliver in the human realm. Her name is Amber Armin, she lives in California Nevada, 35 Woodroad." Andrias told Joe as he flapped his wings as he set off to the human realm.
Andrias turned to the grey salamander before giving him a serious expression.
"Cronaxx, I need you to go to the human realm in a couple of weeks to pick up our new student. Help her get what she would need for Hogwarts for the first term. I will had my personal carriage so you two can get to Amphibiaworts with an inconveniences." Andrias told his dear friend. Cronaxx wasn't sure about this. Sure years ago there were once human students here for some time before Darcy ruined everything. Which caused human and Amphibian relationships to backtrack a little bit but not like it used a very long time ago. Which Cronaxx was relieved.
"Do you think this child has magic abilities Drais? Besides even if she doesn't have magic, it seems like the child is suffering because of her awful human parents." Cronaxx did show concern for the child.
"Valerian's crystal ball is never wrong about showing people with magic abilities. It worked a 1,000 years ago. Why the sudden hesitation?" Andrias asked his friend.
"Back then Drais, it was a common thing before she showed up." Andrias knew who Cronaxx was referring to.
"Darcy may have ruined a lot of human lives CroCro, but our friend did mention in a letter about this. Even if the child will be the only human here, that never stoped our friend before." Andrias remembering his human friend." Andrias said with confidence. Cronaxx facial expression soften by remembering their friend from long ago.
"I'll see what I can do Drais." Cronaxx said as he leave to prepare to go the human realm.
"Maybe the child will surprise you like she did."
It was late in the afternoon, Amber was reading one of her favorite books about a boy who went to a different world to learn magic. She wished to go on an adventure to learn magic, have friends, and maybe find a family that truly loved her. Unfortunately that will never happen this is her reality. She'll have to wait seven more years to leave this house and never look back.
She heard someone tapping at her window. Snapping out of her dazed expression. Amber went to the window to see something really bizarre. Out there was a red sparrow wearing golden armor. Amber opened the window to let the sparrow in as she decided to examine it since she was quiet curious about the bird. She sees a blue container around it's neck as she opened it was a letter with papers attach to it. She decided to look at it then she started to read it.
To: Amber Armin
The bottom room next to the Kitchen
35 Woodroad
California, Nevada
Dear Ms. Armin
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Amphibiaworts School for witchcraft and wizardry.
Students shall be required to report to the Chamber of Reception upon arrival. The dates for which shall be duly advised.
Please ensure that the utmost attention to be made to the list of requirements attached. I will sent one of my colleagues to pick you up and he will escort you to get your supplies you will need for this term and to take you to the school.
We are very much look forward to receiving you as part of the new generation of Amphibian heritage.
Your Sincerely,
Headmaster Andrias Leviathan.
Amphibians? As in frogs, toads, and newts. Why did they even knew were she sleeps this is so weird? She thought, this Headmaster must have made a big mistake by assuming she was an Amphibian. Amber put the papers back into the container. Unfortunately, Joe refused to take the container. Amber tried to put the container on Joe's neck only to get pecked by it's beak and swatted their hands away by it's wing. Amber gave up as she put the papers in a red shoe box that contained a bunch of toys a super ball, slinky, and a toy cat. As she put the box in her secret nook in the floor boards. She discovered a loose floorboard under her bed three years ago. She decided to hide some of her personal stuff from her family so they didn't get rid of it. Like they did for five years. If she got something that made her really happy her brother would notify their parents. As they get rid of it saying 'it was a waste of time to be interested in these trivial objects.'
Amber let the red sparrow out since it had been pecking at the window for a few minutes. The small red sparrow had left her room soaring through the sky as she thought she would never see that little sparrow again. Little did she know the next time she will see that Sparrow it would be as big as a house.
Amber thought as she lay down on her bed when she put her box away. "That was one weird Sparrow."
