Chapter 2: Ravenwood, Tests, and Darkness
When we FINALLY arrived I was tired and asked where I could sleep for the day. Ambrose sighed and said, "You can sleep in you dorm, right this way." I followed some more and he lead me to a dorm. I went in. It was a plain room with a desk, a quill and ink, a bed, and a small table. I charged in and flopped on the bed, then I noticed I was in black and white clothes! It shocked me, but I fell asleep easy. Early in the morning Ambrose woke me up saying "Come with me! You need to take our test to see if you are truly the one." So groggily I walked with him ( EVEN MORE! ) to the test. When he said we were there I was in an open area. He said, "This is the test of bravery and strength, best of luck to you Mrs. FrostTail." I opened my mouth to scream, but he was gone even before the words came out. I sighed and wondered what would happen. Would a monster jump out and attack me? Just as I thought that I heard rustling in the bushes and zipped around to see it. It was an ice- wait let me get this strait it was a huge ice- beetle? I stared. And looked around it to see if it was remote controlled, but I didn't see anything. I gasped was it possible it was a REAL ice beetle? I looked at it and in dug into the ground. Uh-Oh now I didn't know what to do but I heard the bushes rumble on the other side of me! I whirled around and saw a GIANT ELECTRIC SNAKE! and it prowled around the area, completely ignoring me. Then I got it! it was trying to get the ICE BEETLE, not me. So I ran up to it and said, "The Ice Beetle dug a whole, go in it and chase it!" That was the weirdest thing I had EVER done, and the storm snake ( that is what I have come to call it ) darted into the whole and burst out a tail's length from the beetle they fell and stared at each other and jumped up each trying to hit each other with all it's might! When they collided there was a flash and a darkness. My hand had produced a ball of darkness, and it became big enough to surround them. Then it because smaller, and smaller, and smaller until it was looking like a fairy then it became black with a red shirt and black pants, and had red wings. I gasped again, and Ambrose came to congratulate me. He said I had passed the test, and that I was to become a death wizard. He gave me a book, some cards, and a Black spiral. I asked, "Whats this spiral thing?" He replied in a half chuckle tone, "That is a wand, it is used to control the darkness you produced a few minutes ago. Then he said go now, to you dorm I will call you to see to the unicorn way issue in a second. I went to my dorm and practiced casting dark fairies when Ambrose came in I was trying to cast again. He smiled and said "You are the most productive student I have ever seen, come with me."
