Howl: THATS MASTER HOWL TO YOU!

Markl:... ;... fine...MASTER Howl had just left, leaving Calcifer and I alone with a beginner's spell book...

Calcifer smiled at me for a minute after the door had closed.

"Well, go on then. Turn to the first chapter and start reading!" he said, a few fames crackled down the ashes and burnt out as he spoke.

"and when you think you're ready, you can practice the first spell."

I nodded eagerly and immediately began pouring over the pages, slowly absorbing the information that they kept.

I was lucky. Unlike most of the street kids, I actually took the time to learn how to read. I would sneak into classrooms and just listen.

I finished the book and looked over at Calcifer. "Okay, Im done." I said eagerly "What spell do I do first again?"

Calcifer blinked at me a few times, astonished. "You read the book that fast?"

I nodded and shrugged, "yeah, so?"

Calcifer just shook his head and mumbled something to himself. "Alright kid," he said suddenly, "your first spell is on page eight.

I hurriedly turned to the desired completely page to see that it was...completely blank. I turned to Calcifer. "Um, there's nothing on this page." I said, confused.

Calcifer only smiled. "Exactly." he said smugly, "that is your first task. you have to make the spell re-appear on the page before you practice it, and It'll be like that for every new spell you learn."

I grumbled and sat on the dusty floor, looking hard at the page in the book. 'I hadn't noticed any blank pages while I was reading, so the spell must have been there, which means I must have read it.' I thought to myself. So all I had to do was remember what spell was on page eight.

I squinted my face hard, trying to remember. "Water...no...that was page ten..." I thought harder and suddenly, "I'v got it!" I said excitedly, standing up and running over to Calcifer with my hands on the edge of the fireplace. "It was Levitation right? The spell of Levitation?"

Calcifer smiled and gestured to the book. "Good job, kid. The spells re-appeared on the page." he said calmly.

I smiled and eagerly read the spell over. "to levitate takes much of the caster's energy..." I read quietly. I looked over at one of the many books strewn across the table and concentrated hard on it, my finger pointed out. a few seconds went by without anything, but I didn't look away. Suddenly the book moved slightly and flew across the table, knocking a few things off as it went. I blinked and frowned. "It didn't work..." I said, disappointed.

"Well you cant expect it to happen on the first try, kid" Calcifer laughed, "but it was a good start for a beginner. Why don't you feed me some wood and you can try again."

I nodded and grabbed a piece of wood, handing it to Calcifer.

"Okay, one more time..." I said, pointing at a cup now and concentrating on it.

"Don't concentrate so hard, just direct your magic at it and make it do what you want." Calcifer said dully.

I nodded at him and tried what he suggested. I could feel the magic coming up from my toes and concentrating itself on the point of my finger. After a few seconds I felt enough magic had gathered and I flicked my finger. Immediately, the cup rose from the table, but I had used too much magic. My knees buckled under me and just before I hit the floor, I heard the cup smash on the floor.

Then everything went black.

OKAY!! Third chappie done!

please review?

Markl : yeah! The next Chapter'll come soon!!
