Ace was standing outside the Dragon temple waiting for his trainee. They had agreed to meet at six but Jacob was late. He repositioned himself. He was glad he had took his jacket. It was raining pretty bad. Something he didn't like about the shield. It was designed to withstand a tremendous amount of punishment but it did not shield Draco from the weather. It could pass through it as if it wasn't there. Also animals that weren't harmful could fly or walk trough it without effort. Convenient? Ace didn't think so, If animals could get through because they were seen as harmless. The shield could be fooled, if someone was smart enough. He did not fear that it would happen, he only was aware of that it could happen. His thinking was disturbed by feet squishing through the wet soil accompanied by panting.

He turned his head towards the boy who now stood before him and scoffed.

"You're late." He said as he stared of into the distance.

"I know… I was…" Jake tried but got interrupted.

"You know I don't care. Let's start."

Jake sighed.

"How many times, this time? He asked as he dropped into pushup position.

Ace raised his eyebrow. He had to say the boy learned fast. He had done something wrong and expected punishment.

"Not now, your punishment will come. Now follow me."

Jake got back on his and followed Ace who already started walking into the temple. They walked in the direction of the dungeons. As they descended down the stairs, Jake got an eerie feeling that spread through his spine and made his neck hair stand up. He only had been here once when they visited ex-councilor Chang. The place gave him the creeps, whatever Ace was going to do he hoped it wouldn't take long.

They walked past the cells, every one of them telling their own gruesome past. Most of the cells had blood spattered on the floor and moss growing on the bars. In several of them there were still prisoners. One of them was Chang, she was captured a week after the events of Victoria's peak.

The two dragon guards that guarded her cell. Where unaffected by the two dragons walking by. Chang on the other hand followed Jake with her vision and glared daggers in her neck. This made Jake feel even more uncomfortable. He flinched as Ace suddenly spoke.

"We're here." He said as he opened a cell door.

He stepped aside to let Jake walk in. Jake looked at him incredulously.

"You've got to be kidding right?" He asked his eyebrow raised.

Ace grabbed him by the neck and threw him in, after that he walked in himself and closed the door.

"you asked me if I would train you." Ace said as he walked towards the wall with the restraints. "Consider this the start of it. he said as he pulled a shackle.

The floor hissed as air came from the sides and as a whole it came up a bit. After this nothing else happened.

"That's it? I expected more." Jake said his voice disappointed.

A cruel smile spread across Ace's face.

"Be careful what you wish for."

At that moment the floor dropped down at an immense speed taking the two dragons with her as she descended.

Spud awoke and rubbed his head.

"Dude, strange dream and all. Really got to stay away from the sugar." He said as he got up and dressed.

He opened his bedroom door and shrieked. In front of his door stood Markus Thrall and his parents, Markus with a box and something wrapped in brown paper in his hands.

"What the hell are you doing?" He shouted. "You almost gave me a heart attack."

"Well today is your big day." His dad said as he tried to be cheerful. "You're becoming a wizard in training."

Spud scratched his head.

"So, correct me if I am wrong. I didn't dream that conversation last night?"

"No, You didn't. That actually took place." His mom said.

Spud rubbed his chin.

"Hmm… if I didn't dream than where are the monkeys ridding unicycles?"

His parents looked at him dumfounded. Markus cleared his throat.

"You're mixing up some things. If you wouldn't mind I would hand you're wand and cape and after that I will give you some magical messages from wizards who are willing to train you."

"To bad. I mean the monkeys. Okay let's get this thing started." Spud replied.

They all sat down in the kitchen an Markus started.

"First things first your cape." He said as he handed the package in brown paper. "An second, remember you did not choose the wand the wand chose you… at birth. You will have to name him, he will become your best friend and the only one you will get in this life."

"Sure, But I have to name it?" Spud asked.

"Yes, every wizard does. It's a tradition, also you will have to name him."

Markus got the small box and set it on the table.

"Come on open it and meet him."

Spud carefully opened the box and there was a sigh of relieve.

"Whoa, thanks I really was cramped up in that thing." The wand said. Without anything that resembled a mouth to talk with or eyes to see with.

"That's all?" The wand said disappointed. "I expected you to look more, wizardly."

"Hey, I just found out myself. So chill." Spud replied.

"Yeah so? It's a special occasion and you're not even dressed up. Please tell me you got at least a name for me."

"I..uh" Spud stuttered.

"Great, First he isn't dressed up the next thing, he doesn't know a name just my luck. Why did I had to choose this one."

Spud searched inside his brain for a name that seemed fit for a wand. As he was thinking his mind drifted off to a scene.

Inside the mind of spud Author warning: (please fasten your seatbelts just in case.)

Against a table stood a Huntsstaf and on a desk stood the box that contained Spud's wand upright with the lid off.

"Hey…Hey…Hey…Huntsstaf?" The wand asked.

"Yes." The Huntsstaf said in a discreet way of talking.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." The Huntsstaf replied.

"From what kind of material are you made of?" The wand asked.

"Can't tell you that's classified."

"Classified?" The wand asked with a confused look. "More like stupidified. Hehehehe."

"You can laugh all you want wand. But with one well placed shot I can kill a dragon." The Huntsstaf replied slightly annoyed.

"Impressive. Do you know what I can do?"

"What?" The Huntsstaf asked.

"I can kill ten dragons at once by using magic and drop a plate of concrete on them. And what is even more impressive is this." The wand started to make all kind of noises that annoyed the hell out of the Huntsstaf.

"Stop it, God you're annoying do you know how much it takes to get me mad you've been here for what five minutes and you already set me off." The Huntsstaf shouted.

The wand which in the version of Spud's mind had eyes. Those were now glaring at the Huntsstaf.

"Why do you glare at me?" The Huntsstaf said

"Concrete." The wand said and out of nowhere dropped a plate of concrete on the Huntsstaf breaking it.

Outside Spud's head…

"Hey… Hello?" The wand shouted. "Someone in there?"

"Uh… What? Yes I am here and I have the perfect name for you." Spud said.

"What is it." The wand replied overjoyed.

"Dramatic pause." Spud said to himself.

"The annoying wand."
