 Posted: Thu Jul 27, 2006 11:25 am Post subject: Magic School-The Story Game |
 |
|
I've been planning on this for a while. I've had Magic School going for about a year now and I thought that maybe a storygame would be more interesting than just an RP.
I know that it starts off long, but I couldn't get to a decision point.
Chapter 1
Have you ever felt that feeling? The one where you think that you have forgotten something important? When you’re walking home from school, or just letting your mind wander - yet not wander too far? Have you ever felt that feeling that you will be in trouble, or that something bad is going to happen to you? Yet in the end it was just a feeling. Just you’re mind playing tricks. Nothing bad happened and there was nothing important that you forgot?
Have you ever heard a voice? A voice you recognise that calls your name? Just quietly, in the distance, in your head. Yet so clear that you turn to face who ever it is, before you realise that it was just your mind playing tricks again?
I have had that feeling. I have heard that voice. The voice of my mother, calling my name. Eevery time I get a strange feeling of Wrong. I am a Witch. Not an ordinary witch that you find in books and stories, but a real one. I have powers, enemies and friends. I enjoy life, I also suffer. I get ill, I get treated. To an ordinary human I seem to be one of them. I could walk around amongst you all and you would not notice anything different about me, if I wanted to. But I don’t.
I have the voice of my mother and the powers of my father. Mum was a Singer. She literally sung people to sleep, or even death. Dad was a Fighter. He held a sword and shield and wore armour that was always polished to a shine. He also had the power to sense danger. And as a result you have me!
It gets hard you know. Sensing danger, and having to make the choice. Fight it, or leave? Sometimes I have to run. Run away from the danger and leave people to their fates. But put it this way: If I die, there will be one less person to protect the world. And there are no longer many of us left.
We’ve been getting wiped out for years now. It is getting harder for us as we get weaker, and they get stronger. They killed them, you know? Mum was killed by a Regnis. Dad was killed by another monster. But nobody knows what. Some Mages say it was humans. Others say it was Vampires or Vampanese. But the Vampire communities and their close relatives don’t like fighting against Mages. Mages and Vampires have nothing to do with each other. We are not friends - or enemies. We just are. We keep out of each other’s ways, and keep our noses in our own business.
But some people believe that my father is not dead. Some still say that he lives - that he is out there looking for me. And it is for that reason that I am out here, looking for him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Triennia!” a distant voice calls to me. I turn with hope to see my mother, but I am yet again disappointed. Every time it catches me out. Every single bloody time! Then the Feeling comes. Deep dpwn in my guts, I feel something tighten, and I look around nervously. Danger hangs so heavily in the air, I can almost taste it.
This isn’t good. I think. Run. Stay. Run. Stay. The options cross my mind in a hurry. I pull out my sword and glance around me. I say sternly, out loud.
"Stay.”
The fields are wide and go as far as the eye can see. Not just any fields though. Battle-fields. They will attack us anyway, even if we are not here. But it is better to be here when they attack, than with the humans. For with some of them, you need look at them only once, and it will be the last thing you see.
I stand in the middle of a corn field. The crops are not too high, for they have not been planted that long ago. I stay completely still. Looking across the fields, I listen carefully for anyone approaching, but there is no-one. And there is silence.
A small man is suddenly in front me. Crap not him! I scream inside my head.
“Hello, darling.” He smiles. I lash out with my sword, but he moves out of the way. He appears again behind me. “You should know by now that you can’t defeat a Storm Dwarf that easily, darling.” The smile still stretched across his face. He begins to spin and wind picks up, forming rapidly into a tornado. He spins - and I run. I run as fast as I can, a twisting and twirling wind dancing happily after me - catching up with me. Lightning comes crashing down missing me by centimetres, and I run in a zigzag fashion to make it harder to get caught.
“You cannot escape me, young Witch.” He laughs. I run as fast as I can, and finally I get far away enough for a rest. I get out a small, glowing ball from my pocket and stare right at the centre of it. There is a flash and I find myself at a place I like to call my home.
Not much of a home. It’s just a gap between the roots of some old oak tree. But I have a pile of straw for a bed and it keeps the wind off me. Also if I ever get cold, Dodle will come and keep me warm. Dodle is my Alsatian dog. He’s very strange, but he’s lovely, and warms me up in the winter.
Now I am home, I am safe. But I cannot stay hidden forever. Storm Dwarfs do not like it when we run away. They will finish the battle whether or not they win. Not a single Storm Dwarf has ever been involved in a battle without a victory to either them or the Mage. And it is only a matter of time until I have to go out and face him again.
I clamber out of my little den and climb a few branches of the old tree. Once I’m as high as I dare go, I stop. I sit on the branch and rest against the bark. Dodle lies at the bottom of the tree, panting heavily in the shade, out of the reach of the mid-day sun.
Suddenly I hear a twig snap. Dodle pricks his ears to get a better listen, but he doesn’t move. I freeze in my place, my green outfit camouflaging me in the tree. Foot steps are heard, and then they stop. Now Dodle is on his feet and growling at the bushes near by.
I sit here. Still. Not daring to move incase I make a noise or slip and fall. I’m shocked that someone has managed to get so close without me or Dodle realising. It’s very hard to sneak through a forest without making a sound. The only ones I know who could do such a thing are…oh no! The Storm Dwarfs.
Storm Dwarfs can travel in the wind, like other Storm Mages. Or it could be the Light Travellers. Well, I’m sure you can guess how they travel. Either that, or something a lot worse that I have never fought before.
Dodle stops growling. He looks up towards me and starts to bark. Then he barks at the bushes again. Shushing sounds can now be heard from the bushes. I start to wonder why I haven’t sensed any danger. My powers can’t be failing again - I haven’t used them in full for a month so that I wouldn’t suffer from more Power Loss.
“Ah, for Pete’s Sake!” Whispers an annoyed voice from the bushes. A moment later, Dodle freezes. Now, that is enough! I jump down from the tree, and go dizzy as I use magic to ease my fall. Two tall figures clamber out of the bushes. one is a tall young girl, I’d guess around the age of 15. She wears long jeans with a black lightning bolt running down her right leg, and a T-shirt with a yellow lightning bolt down her front. Next to her stands a boy, a few inches taller than her. He is in Mage Robes as dark as a moonless night. I gasp and take a step back.
“Who are you?” I demand, putting on a brave face.
“Hello there!” says the girl cheerfully. The boy waves his Hellos. “Sorry about your dog. I’ll unfreeze him as long as you don’t let him hurt us. He’s a very good guard dog though.”
“Not until you tell me who you are.” I say sternly, unprepared to take any chances.
“I am Tramp in a Storm! Head Teacher of the Magic School in the City of IF.” Says the girl.
“Hi. I’m Idea Master. Storms boyfriend, and I also help around the school.” Smiles the boy. “But you can call me IM if it’s easier.” He adds.
“And I’ll answer to Tramp or Storm.” Adds the girl.
“I’m Triennia. Part Fighter-Mage part Singer-Mage.” I introduce myself, confused. “What brings you to my home?”
“Well, we were wondering if you would like to join our School. It started out as a small school where we taught children the ways of magic by day, and by night…well, we had fun.” Starts Storm.
“It is now a large castle, forward slash battlefield, forward slash demeted school.” Grins IM. I stare at the two, wondering if they are mad. The girl nudges him and rephrases his sentence slightly.
“It is a lovely building with tall towers, unexplored places, large grounds… A place of Magical Wonders.” She smiles. “And battles, and demons, and secret pubs.” She adds quickly under her breath.
The two strangers turn and disappear in the trees and bushes, leaving me alone, with Dodle, to think about their proposal. I climb back up to my perch and rest. Who were they? I know their names but, that’s it. What is this Magic School? They described it rather oddly - What good will it do to me? But would giving it a try really be that bad? I might be safer there from the Storm Dwarf.
Tramp in a Storm is a strange name… But her necklace... The image of the star hanging from a string around her neck comes to my mind. It’s the sign of a Tramp Witch. They come from Mars, I think… Maybe she was a Storm Witch. They are Arch Enemies with Storm Demons and Storm Dwarfs.
After some thought, I decide to give it a go. I jump down from my perch before I remember that I have power failure syndrome - but it's too late. I crash to the floor and use some magic to keep myself from being injured. I get a few bruises, and I go dizzy when I stand up- but i manage to stay on my feet, and I go into my den to pack my stuff.
Dodle is sniffing around me and looking at me with big eyes.
“Don’t worry, Dodle. I’ll be back. Stay here. Stay hidden. Stay safe. And look after home, will you? I’d like to have somewhere to go when I return.” I smile, hug him, ruffle his hair behind his ears and crawl out of my den.
I’m soon making my way, tracking down the two Mages. I got trained to do that in Mage School. I graduated only last week. Going back to school (if that’s what it is) will be very strange.
After a long walk I come to a road leading straight to a City. The city is guarded by large, golden gates. The letters IF are at the top and I take a deep breath, this is it. I carry on walking and soon I am at the gates. I look up and feel like an ant as they tower over me. As I look through the gaps to get a better look at the city, I see that there are tall buildings in the middle. Around the outside are mines of some sort on one side, and fields on the other. Fields covered in flowers and fields covered in...Is that blood? Blood and bodies of monsters and beasts - and people! .
I begin to think again about this. I can hear voices of pain from the mines, like trapped souls. And why has a city got battle fields? Yet I do not feel anything. There is no sinking feeling in my gut. No feeling of 'wrong' or 'trouble' - and I cannot hear my mother's voice calling my name to warn me.
I see a button on the gates.
Please press and wait to be invited in.
Thank you,

She said Of. She did you know. It was Of, I'm sure. Or was it Aha?

Hmmm...ok...as far as dp's go...not the greatest  .
She has two clear options*, go to an unknown city or go to a city that she's been told to go to and that she wants to get to...hmmmm....
* Of course there are potentially hundreds of other options e.g
1) She could look for another magic school.
2) She could go back up the road to her house and fall asleep
3) She could go seek out the storm troll and fight it
4) She could suddenly decide that magic isn't really her thing and take up hockey. etc.
Perhaps the poll could have some less clear options in it as well 
Anyway the story itself is pretty good, with an impressive opening few paragraphs .

You mean my opening was good? Yesh! woo! Finaly! I good opening! 
Yeah you're right. I'm not that good with Dps. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll go change it.
Byt the way I think it would be NF not OF. Normal Fable instead of InterFable or Insane Fable or any of those other things that IF stands for. lol.

I've changed the ending a bit and the DP. Does she ring the bell and go to IF to find Magic School. Or does she turn around and go home?

That's a better dp , I guess the sensible option would be to go home (give up magic and take up hockey )...but a little boring so I suggest that she goes ahead and rings the bell - onward into IF .
Not being a Chinaren or another picky mod I didn't actually go through each sentance hunting for errors. The only mistake I noticed was:

ok, think she should ring the bell, there is no sense of trouble and the people seamed nice enough, if a little strange.
But yeah, good start, looking forward to more

I think she should be about to go in when she actually sees one of If's residents wandering*. This makes her think twice about going in by obvios means and so she sneaks in through the mines. Of course, this way she could meet IM on an inspection and be hilariosly quiestioned on why she's there and has she looked in the crates and everthing else.

Chapter 2
I stare at the button. I have nothing to lose, have I? Only Dodle. I seriously doubt that I will lose my life just by entering a city.
There is a sound in the distance. It’s coming from one of the fields - the one with flowers. For some reason there seem to be more flowers than before, and there is a woman singing and…skipping around. She’s quite far away from where I am, but as far as I can see, she seems to be wearing no clothes.
I doubt that I will lose my life by entering a city. But I do not doubt that I will lose my sanity by entering the city of IF.
I look at the button on the gate. I’m worried that if I press the button, the woman in the fields will be the one who comes to answer my call. I decide that I should try and sneak around the gates, and get in secretly. Then try to find Storm or IM and Magic School.
I follow the gates with my eyes. They go on and on, but they do end, some way in the distance on both sides. I start walking and graduate to a run.
I finally get to the end. The gates get smaller and disappear into the ground. I step to the other side of them and I find myself on a muddy hill. I look around. There is a large, ugly, grey building in the distance and another hill, a bit closer to me. There is a hole in it, and railways tracks leading into total darkness.
I walk towards it. I hear a rumbling and crouch down by the entrance. An old mining cart arrives full of blue stuff of some sort.
It looks like blue lumps of shiny metal. I think about going over towards the building so I could find a guard and ask for directions. I stand, hoping that I find a polite guard who would tell me the right way, instead of locking me up and… don’t even go there!
I shake the silly thoughts from my head and start to make my way towards the building.
“You know, this isn’t Magic School.” I turn to face a tall boy, jet black hair and pale skin. It’s IM. But he isn’t in Mage Robes. He’s wearing normal clothes. “This is my Idearium mines.”
I stare at him, shocked. “I-I got lost.” Is the first thing that comes to my mind. I’m not lying. It’s just that it was partly my fault, because I went the wrong way.
“Well, Magic School is right…all the way…over there.” He says, pointing to a tall castle on the other side of the city.”
“Thank you.” I say, and make my way away from the mines.
I start to slow down. I’m getting tired and worn out so I stop and sit on a wall of somebody’s garden. I’ve just come to a housing area.
“I’m surprised that you made it this far without a rest.” IM comes and sits next to me. He looks behind us at the house. It has a sign saying: Room for Rent. He grins. I don’t know what’s so funny, but by the expression on his face I can tell that that place holds amusing memories.
“Trust me. You don’t want to know.” He says as I stare at the half rubble building behind us.
“Wait here. I’ll go to Jnmrc’s house, across the street and phone Tramp. She can send a horse to come and get you. It’s a long walk when you’re tired.”
He crosses the road and knocks on the door of a house. The door opens and he enters.
I stand. I still doubt him. He had spots of blood on his clothes and I’m really not sure if I can trust him. If those were his mines, where I heard the screams of terror… I’m thinking of finding Magic School myself.
But then again, he does help around there. I’d look a fool if I didn’t trust him when there is nothing to worry about.
Then I hear mums voice. Once again, so real that I turn with hope of seeing my mother. Once again I am disappointed. I look towards the house that IM just entered. Why didn’t mum call to me when I was with him earlier? Is it him or something else?
Run. Stay. Run. Stay…

Oh,. and is the origional Magic School still running? I've joined but noone seems to be posting on it anymore...

I don't know. Magic School of Doom is the second Magic School. They usually die a slow death when people get bored or run out of ideas.

lol. I'm not sure. I have a plan incase I do a next one. But if I do, it will be slightly different and hopefully better.
So then, are we running and hoping that we have enough energy? Or do she stay and hope that IM isn't the dangerous one. But if it's not him, it will be somebody else. Don't forget that she can always run upto the house that IM entered and call him for help, if the danger is something else.

One thing she won't be able to rely upon now is that little voice telling her it's dangerous. Soon she shall learn that if it isn't c'ren and Lordy in a bar fight it's Meany and I meeting in one of the threads (And, consequentally, smashing eight bells out of each other). All of If is dangerous and she can't run from everything.

Chapter 3
I start to walk towards where the Magic School should be, when I hear a voice behind me.
“Hello, darling.” I turn to face my worst nightmare.
I quickly make up my mind.
"Run."
I run across the street, towards the house that IM entered. The Storm dwarf laughs at me. “You can’t run from me, darling. And nobody will take you in. I’m not just in your nightmares - I tend to scare quite a few people.”
I bang on the door, and I hear footsteps running. The door opens, there is a man standing at the door, and IM is behind him.
“Help!” I scream as a powerful wind blows me aside. IM steps out the door and the other man closes himself in his house.
I stand up as the wind stops. I stare at the dwarf in the eyes.
“You can’t defeat me, darling. And you can’t hide forever either.”
“Do not call me, "darling".” I snarl.
“My, my.” Smiles IM. “A Storm Dwarf.” Even though he has a smile on his face, I can see the fear in his eyes. There aren’t many Mages who can defeat a Storm Dwarf. Storm Dwarfs, Storm Mages, Storm Demons and other beings of the like can put up a good battle against each other and stand a chance of victory. Because their powers are based on the same thing, storms, they can be pretty much equal in battle.
But IM doesn’t seem like a Storm Wizard or Mage.
IM spreads his arms out and balls of energy fly out of each hand. The Storm Dwarf crashes into the already crumbled building across the street. My mouth falls wide open as I stare at the damage done. I could have never imagined someone doing that to him!
The Dwarf’s foot twitches. His hands start to move. A large, strong stallion races down the road towards us. He is brown with a black mane and has a white diamond on his forehead. Not far behind him is a pure white mare and next to her is Storm riding a horse, as black as the abyss.
The horses stop in front of us.
“Run!” IM shouts and forces me onto the brown stallion. He mounts the white mare, and all three of us race down the street, around the corner and on our way to Magic School.
IM and Storm leave me at the gates of the school. They go around the back. I’m guessing there is another entrance there. The gates are open, so I step through. I walk across the front yard and pass through the large doors of the huge castle, which is towering over me.
The horses have been taken back to their stable. As I enter the building, I find myself in a place that looks pretty much like an ordinary school. I look at the ceiling, expecting it to be as high as the sky.
But the ceiling is surprisingly low.
“Storm, says it’s better to have lots of floors for more rooms instead of high ceilings taking up all the space.” IM is behind me again and I jump out of my thoughts. I never get much time to make my mind up on an opinion around here.
“I have a feeling that I won’t get lost around here.” I say turning to face the Mage.
“Trust me,” he smiles, “You don’t have to worry. You won’t have trouble getting lost around here. The inside is bigger than the outside.”
A little orange person steps out from behind him. It hardly reaches my waist. I stare at it, confused as to what it is.
“Umpa mumpa.” It says, takes my bag and walks towards a large staircase.
“Follow him.” IM suggests. So I do.
At the top of the stairs, he leads me to a room. Faces pop out of the doors along the corridor. Some are different coloured, some have strange eyes, and others strange hair. None of them show more than their heads.
“Umpa roompa.” Says the thing, puts my bag by my feet and hands me a key. I enter the room. It's a small room. There are two girls and three beds. One girl is sitting on her bed; the other is towering over her.
“…You’re just a powerless waste of space…” the girl standing was interrupted by my presence.
“Oh. Hello.” She smiles innocently. “I’m Virga.” She offered me a hand. Her blue eyes looking at me, as if I’m a friend. Her brown hair rested on her shoulders, and she worse a green dress that hardly reached her knees.
I look from one girl to the other. Virga seems strong and popular. The other girl looks like she’s a pixie, and probably is. But her glasses and her sad, intelligent eyes make her look like a geek, and the main target of popular, rich girls like Virga.
Which one should I be friends with? If any?

Right then. Do she become friends with Virga, the pixie or do she remain lonely?

right...interesting. Sorry i missed voting and everything on the last chapter, i was on holiday.
caught up now...
i don't see why she shouldn't be an, in-between person and try to be friends with both of them. Or just stay neutral until she finds out more about them. I definitely don't think she should side with either one or the other, as making enemies quite so soon upon arriving probably isn't a good idea. I also think she should go out, explore the building, get hopelessly lost, and try and make some more friends along the way .

i F5 solus. remain neutral until you know the groups in the school, then join the most numerous and or powerful group.
P.S. by the way, are you going to use characters from the rpg or is this completely new?

If everyone says stay nutral, at least for now. We don't need a poll. It's easyer to go without it. If everyone says go nutral then we don't really need the poll.
I'll do the next chapter as soon as posible. Comments and the rest are still welcome as always.

I've changed the numbering of the chapters (since Phang explained to me the difference between normal chapters and storygame chapters.)
But don't worry, nothing in the chapters has changed.

Chapter 4
I don’t take the hand. But I introduce myself anyway.
“I’m Triennia. Nice to meet you both.” I smile, a hint that I’m not choosing between the two girls.
“I’m Felicia. Felly for short to my friends and family…so nobody calls me Felly.” The pixie girl introduced herself, stood and walked out of the room.
I put my bag down by the bed which already had my name written on my headboard.
“Stupid pixie…” mumbles Virga.
“What’s wrong with her?” I ask.
“She’s a….well I can call her lots of nasty things, but I don’t know where to start from.” Says Virga and sits on her bed. “So then, what’s your last name? Mine’s Kenof.”
“I’m Triennia of the East.” I tell her and she looks at me blankly. “You don’t want to know.” I finish off, not wanting to tell her about the shadows of my past.
I lay on my bed. Virga got out a book of some sort and started to read. Before I even knew it, I was asleep.
I fall, and fall, and fall. Falling into blackness, never reaching the bottom. Then a thud. I hit the ground. Or so it seems. I don’t actually land on anything apart from darkness.
I shoot awake suddenly hearing mums voice. The feeling of knowing I’m in trouble. I look around me, trying to remember where I am.
I recover from my nightmare. Virga is gone. I shoot out of bed, make sure that all my weapons are in place, strapped to my clothes and I rush out into the hall.
I see IM and Storm running down the hall towards me.
“Run! You should already be outside!” Storm screams and they come to a stop in front of me.
“What’s going on?” I ask.
“The school is under attack.” Says IM casually.
“By who?” I question, showing no fear even if it did exist.
The two teachers look at each other considering if they should tell me or not.
“My worst nightmare.” Replies Storm simply.
“Please,” I beg. “If it’s a Storm Demon I need to know.”
I realise by their expressions that I have guessed right.
“Is everyone out?” Storm turns to IM.
“Yes everyone apart from us is out and hidden. I think Vamps has them under control.”
“OK. We need a plan.” Says Storm.
“We can’t get out. He’ll find us any minute now. We can’t out run him.” I note.
“How do you know?” asks IM.
“Because I’ve battled him before. He’s here for me. Our last battle is unfinished.” I explain.
“Then we need to get you out of here and fast.” Insists Storm.
“We cannot.” I also insist.
Storm and IM take a moment to think, but there is no time. The Dwarf appears a little way down the hall.
“Hello, Darlings.” His voice goes straight through me.
“Run!” Storm screams at IM and me.
“I’ll be back for you.” Promises IM, grabs my arm and pulls me along the hall, in the opposite direction to the dwarf, leaving Storm behind to hold him off.
We run out of the building, across the huge school yard, into a garden full of flowers and finally slow to a walk.
“We have good gardeners. Storm hired some Umpamon. They’re a bit like UmpaLumpa but crossed with pockemon.” he says.
“If you’re trying to take my mind off things, it’s not working.”
“Ok. Fine. I give up.” He raised his hands in a giving up way and smiled.
“You don’t seem scared that there is a Storm Dwarf inside.” I comment.
His face hardens as he turns serious for the first time since I met him.
“I wouldn’t be this scared if I was in there instead of Storm.” He says.
I follow him through a gate, at the other end of the garden, down a path and into a shed. I’m shocked so much to find the everyone from the school in there, that my mouth drops wide open.
“Vamps?” calls IM. A young woman drops down from the ceiling and straightens herself up. She’s clearly a Vampire, I can tell by the dark purple, Vampire style clothes and the small fanged teeth at the sides of her blood-red lips.
“Hello!” she says cheerfully. “Where’s Tramp?”
“Inside, fighting the Storm Dwarf.” Explains IM. “I’m going back. Stay here and look after the kids.” With that he disappears in the blink of an eye.
That would explain how he’s always there and I never even realise that he’s coming.
I look at Vamps, in hope of an instruction. But she just smiles and stares back. After a few seconds I start to get kind of scared and decide to go and find a corner to sit and think.
I stroll around the shed that is like a massive hall on the inside. I’m surprised to find that there aren’t many kids in here. There are plenty, but not as many as schools usually have.
I wander around some more. The walls are made of steel and running along them, high up are some sort of symbols. I strain my eyes to try and get a closer look. I’m standing by the wall on the left from where you walk in through the door.
From what I can read, they seem like Charta Magick symbols. Probably to stop Magic from getting in, or getting out.
I sit down on an empty chair near me to think about things. I hope that Storm and IM are okay. I might not know them very well yet, but they are fighting in there because of me.
I look in the direction of the castle-like building. I sigh and my thoughts turn to my dad. Maybe here I have a chance of finding him. Living under a tree certainly didn’t help.
When Storm and IM return, I will ask them if they can help. IM seems like the sort of person who has battled Demons a lot and knows legendary Mages. He could even know my dad….but no. If he knew my dad, he’d recognise me and tell me where to find him. Or tell him where to find me. That would mean that he’s on his way here! But no. Wait. He doesn’t know. He’s not really coming….
My thoughts are interrupted by a presence. I glance up and see him. There he stood. Tall, well built, brown hair, brown eyes.
“Hello.” He says plainly. I’m lost for words. He’s so handsome!

'Do you want to come and sit with me?'
He can be the school crush. All of the girls (and a couple of the boys:P) fancy him, and they get really jelous when it appears that they're boyfried and girlfriend. They won't be, of coure, just friends, buit the others don't need to know that.

A long lost brother that she doesn't even know exists?
Hmm, could be. Or step brother or something like that.
What does he say? Well, something fairly normal I guess, it would sound extremely strange if he said something random - but it could be funny.
How about he starts making up a completely random rhyme?
lol
Anyway, good new chapter Storm! And I'll look forward to the next one.
But remember, when your sg gets promoted - you should be having a poll after each chapter - whther the vote is unanimous or not!

INSEST! lol. I never actually thought about havning a family member who she doesn't know exists.... good idea. lol.
Thanks solus!
I'll print off the PM you sent me so that I can take a good, close look at my mistakes (damn that 'young-greek-i-don't-care-about-school' side of me.lol I don't think I ever payed much attention in English when I was in Greece....lol. I'm learning now though. )
Once I've looked at them, I'll get to work on them as soon as possible. I'll attack all my homework and get it out the way so that I can concentrate on this. I'll definately get it done at the weekend if not before then.

I voted, but afraid I may have tied it again. 
Anyway, this SGame has now passed the Head Eaters review, so you can get it moved Tramp. Well done.

woohoo!!! We can have a special chapter with a big party in it just to celebrate. (but we'll have to wait untill it can be fitted in with the story.)
lol. I think my Storygame polls have a history of ties!
If Smee replied to my topics he should probably say "Happy tieing." instead of "Happy Voting" lol.

Congrats, Tramp
I was going to vote for long-lost brother, but decided I couldn't risk the last option winning  .

How? I suppose something along the lines of: Her dog is her long lost brother... lol That's would be wrong.
Well, soon as there was a vote for the option that didn't tie, I could do the poll again with just the tied options and maybe put them in discuise like I did for Down the Garden.
I'll leave it up for a bit longer, probably untill the weekend and then do the poll again if the tie isn't broken.
Does that sound like a plan to everyone?

sure, but if there isn't a tie breaker, you can always roll a dice or something.
Even numbers for number four, odd numbers foor number five.

Chapter 5
I stare at him for what seemed like an age I wanted to last. Then he speaks.
“What are you doing all by yourself? Can I sit down?”
“Erm… Sure.” I stutter. Now I realise that there isn’t a seat next to me and feel embarrassed until he sits. A seat just appeared from nowhere. That must be a spell or something that he can do.
“I’m a general Mage. Storm says I use magic for free will too much. She says it won’t lead to any good.” He smiles. “Free Magic is made for free will. One day I will fly free just like my father did. I’ll find him and then…” he stops as if snapping out of a trail of thoughts. “Sorry, I’m going on a bit aren’t I? What about you? Are you new?”
He really talks a lot… Apart from the how much he talks, he’s just like me; he’s looking for his father too. I smile and reply.
“Yeah. I just got here today I think. I’m not sure because I fell asleep almost as soon as I arrived and when I woke up everybody had already evacuated.”
“So how did you get here?” he asks.
“IM brought me down. Now he’s gone back to help Storm.” I look at the floor trying to hope that they are both okay.
“What’s the matter?” he asks correctly sensing that I’m worried.
“Nothing, I’m fine. I’m just worried that they might not be. They’re battling a Storm Dwarf. And he’s really after me; not them.”
“Oh.” He says understanding. “What’s your name anyway?”
He’s trying to take my mind off things, and I’m telling you now, it’s working!
“Triennia. What’s yours?”
“I’m Tesoro.” As soon as he said that, something tightened inside me. Just as if something had clamped down on my guts. Suddenly it felt wrong to have these feelings about him. It now feels as if I’ve fallen in love with my own brother. I know I don’t have a brother… but somehow that’s what it feels like.
We sit and chat for a while. Just talking about our pasts. They seem to be very similar in some sort of way; we are both looking for our fathers and our mothers are dead.
“Well, my dad isn’t exactly my real dad. He’s my step dad. But I’ve never known my real dad.” He said.
“My dad’s my real dad. Also the only one in this world, apart from Dodle, who cares about me…I hope.” My eyes lower again.
Suddenly the door swings open and crashes against the wall, almost killing a girl who managed to disappear from the scene just in time. I’m guessing she has some sort of teleporting powers.
IM is in the doorway, leaning on the frame with one hand, breathing heavily. Then there is a flash of lightning and Storm is next to him. She collapses to the floor. Vamps swings down from the ceiling and helps them in.
She shuts the door. “What happened? Are you OK?”
“Yes.” Panted Storm.
“The coast is… clear” IM drops to the floor, breathing heavily.
“OK everyone! Back to the School! Calmly return to your normal lessons.” Calls out Vamps.
“We’ve just been attacked! Shouldn’t we get a day’s rest?” complains a student. He seems wealthy and bossy.
“No!” yells Vamps and lets out a short high pitched scream. That makes us all leave in a hurry.
We leave the three teachers behind to sort themselves out.
“Are you OK?” asks Tesoro. My hands are clenched in tight fists.
“Yes.” I say through my teeth.
Vamps, IM and Storm catch up behind us. IM and Storm have robes that are ripped and dirtied with blood; some of it their own and some of it the dwarf’s. IM is limping badly and Storm is hiding her hands behind her back. I stop and turn to them.
“What did you do?” I ask, trying to keep calm. “What did you do to him?”
“He’s been banished for some time.” Replies Storm.
“How long?” I ask, half happy that he’s gone half scared for the same reason. If I don’t finish my battle with him myself, more of his kind will hunt me down until either I die or they get wiped out. Now, which one would be more likely?
“We don’t know.” Says IM.
“It better be for long enough!” Storm is now shaking. “I don’t appreciate going through something like that for now reason.” She says and lets her arms drop by her side.
That’s when I realise that she is bleeding. Blood trickling, from nasty looking wounds, from her hands. Her eyes are a cloudy blue colour, showing no white part. Then I realise that the sky is dark, covered with thick, threatening clouds.
“Are you going to put them away now?” IM asks her.
“Yes.” She says. She raises her arms and looks at the sky. The clouds disappear. She lowers her arms. Her eyes have returned to their original form of hazel, human eyes.
She looks at me evenly.
“You need to practice.”
“What?” I stare at her. “Practice for what?”
“He will be back. You need to prepare. Next time, I will not fight him for you. Next time, he will not attack you here. Next time, you will call to him. He will be unbanished and you will finish your battle. Then, and only then we can search for your father. Understood?”
I look at her. My feelings of fear, excitement, happiness and anxiety are building up inside me, mixing within me.
“How…did you…” I leave my question in half. I don’t even care how she knew.
“How will you find my father?”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Answers IM and smiles a smile that says ‘we’ve already found him’.
“What about my dad?” asks Tesoro. “You said we’d look for him after I finish my exams. I finished them last week.”
“Yes.” Vamps smiled. “Das ist right.”
I look at her. She’s a German Vampire?
Tesoro stares at them all, turns and calmly makes his way back to the school. However he’s not as calm as he seems. His fists are clenched and his sadness and anger hang so thickly in the air that you could almost cut it with a knife.
“That kid is strong.” Comments Vamps.
“Stronger than we think.” Adds IM.
“I don’t like him” comments Storm.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back in my room, 9o’clock and according to Storm half an hour until bed time. I’m sitting on my bed. My two room mates have been bickering for the past half hour. I’m trying to ignore them as I read my timetable.
First lesson in the morning is…

Das ist your nexten chapterisch.
I hope you like it.
So what's her first lesson? You choose. It can be anything in the world. From chocolate summoning to ant slaying. Nobody really cares whether she enjoys it or not, she can suffer all you like.
As well as what her first lesson is I'm listening to ideas for other lessons, too.

She wrote it, whereas you obviously haven't read the story. Hell, I doubt you read anything here, I've seen some of your borderline-correct posts.
Just so you know, I'd have banned you ages ago. I think so far people have been too soft on your stupid ways. Thankfully I may run for mayor once my GCSE's are done - that's plenty of time to reform, and I've seen idiots back from the brink before.

Sorry, Weav. I've tried being nice to you, you ignored me completely. When I try to help and get ignored, I get angry. You've taken it too far. OK?
Right then. I'll add a little rule to this story:
If you don't read it, I will ignore your comments. That is whether they are good, bad, to the topic, completely off topic or whatever. Even if you come up with the most brilliant idea I will ignore it completely. In fact, I won't even read any of your posts.
Because to be honest, weaver
You have gotten on my nerves. Big time.

lol. it would have to be noisy buuble wrap. As in it makes a big pop when you break the bubbles. lol. And the bubbles could possibly be made out of strange gasses that are releases when it's poped. lol.

Demonology it is! I'll close the poll and do then next chapter as soon as I can. I'm still listening to suggestions for other lessons and ubblewrap making might come in later. But first it's Demonology with Phang!
If you want to sneak in any extra ideas for what happens in the lessons I'm all ears, but hurry up before I do the next chapter.

Oh yeah. Just like my popular TV series and books, I will show you how to deal with demons of all kinds.
The whole secret to the operation is eggs. That, and oblivion mist. Those are your two main weapons against the armies of darkness. Also, remember this handy advice:
- Don't try to live so
wise - they're always smarter and older, so just use brute force.- Don't cry - it's a well
known fact that demons feed on tears. Besides, you're so right.- Never,
ever dry with fakes or fears. You'll just end up hating yourself.
Now you're fully prepared to battle demons! Sayonara!

Well, you know what they say: dreams are dreams. But I ain't gonna play the fool anymore. Whatever you say, I've still got my soul.
Love this.

Chapter 6
…Demonology.
~*~*~*~* Next morning at 10 o’clock. ~*~*~*~*~*~*
I awake to loud whispering outside my door. The two girls who share my room are also awake, trying to get back to sleep but are clearly bothered by the noise. I slip out of bed and realised that I forgot to change into my nightclothes. I sigh and walk to the door bare footed.
I have not had a pair of slippers since I moved into my den with Dodle.
I open the door slightly and see two blue-skinned pixies standing outside the door talking in loud whispers. They look at me when they realise that I have disturbed them. They both look identical with their blue face, red eyes, fangs on either side of their blood red lips and their large pointy ears.
They look at me as if I have no right to be here, so I shut the door and go back to bed. I have no time or care to get involved with people like them.
However, their faces remind me of something, as if I’ve seen them before somewhere. For some reason my mind links the feeling of wrong with a very vivid memory. I cannot feel the disturbance in my guts right now but the word Danger flashes across my mind along with the traces of the memory.
I lie down in bed and close my eyes. I’m not planning to go to sleep, I just want to rest. The whispers outside can no longer be heard.
“Planning on joining any classes while you’re here?” My eyes blink open to see the pixie girl standing over me. I look around the room but I cannot see Virga and realise I must have dozed off.
“What time is it?” I ask confused.
“Eleven o’clock. Lessons start now.” Answers Felicia.
I stretch and sit up. I blink my eyes a few times, trying to remember at what point I dropped off and why. I can’t remember being tired an hour ago. I shake the thought off – at least I’m not tired now.
I slip out of bed and quickly get changed when Felicia leaves the room. I’m guessing she’s going to her first lesson.
I read my timetable quickly to remind myself of what lesson I have. I check that my sword is resting comfortably in its case and fiddle with my shield so that it rests nicely on my back. When I’m satisfied with my armour and weaponry I leave the room. I lock the door and take my key with me half hoping that Virga and Felicia have a key each and half hoping that they haven’t.
With the thought of them stuck outside their own room amusing me, I set off to find room 666.
I turn a few corners and follow a few passageways and room 666 is at the end of the passage facing me. I reach it, pause, take a deep breath and enter.
There is a large Purple demon at the front side of the room and closer to me are 5 figures. A Purple Phangarian and a team of Witches. They all look at me.
“You have armour.” The demon speaks. Then she looks sceptical for a moment. “If you are comfortable to cast spells, dodge and attack in that, then you don’t need to change. Otherwise put on some robes like everybody else in the room.”
The Witches giggle.
“I have vanquished plenty Demons in this uniform.” I answer in a loud clear and proud voice, tapping my armour with my right hand. How dare she speak to me like that? I know she’s a rare member of the Demon world, but there is no reason to be so rude to me on my first time.
“Good.” She replies. “Now then young ones!” Her voice is louder and crueller and sends a shiver through all of us. “Form a line and do your best to vanquish me! This is a non-dying area of the school so you don’t need to worry about me. Now kill my kiddies! Kill!”
The first Witch steps forwards and raises her arms. Black clouds form above her head and lightning shoots out from them and hits the Phangarian in the chest, missing her heart by centimetres. She flies backwards and shakes violently for a few moments. The Witch leaps forwards and lands next to her. She takes out a dagger and stabs the Demon in the heart. The Demon shimmers and the disappears completely.
I gasp in time with the other four Witches in the room. The first Witch rearranges her hat on her head so that it recovers her eyes with a shadow cast by the rim of the hat. She turns to face the class and walks steadily in a straight line towards the door. Her lips are moving and as she gets closer to me I can pick out her words.
“6…5….4…3…2…and…” I look towards the front of the class, confused. The Phangarian reappears and the Witch gets in line behind me with a satisfied smile on her face.
“You’ve been having lessons I see. Good. You need them.” Comments the Phangarian.
The four girls in front of me try different methods of attacking the Demon but they all fail. They try fire balls, electricity balls, gravitational energy balls and ice beams but all four girls were thrown to the back of the room and landed in a pile.
They picked themselves up, moaning and complaining about their nails and new clothing as they checked them thoroughly.
“My nail! My robes! My hat! My hair! My makeup!” They complained but their complaints were interrupted.
“Serves you right!” a satisfied smile spreads widely across the Demon’s face. “You spend too much time taking care of your nails and not enough time preparing for this. I might have killed you if there was any point to it.” Her gaze settles on me and smile disappears. “Next.”
I take a step forward. I reach into my pocket to produce a leather pouch with a spell powder. I hold it in my right hand bring my left hand to the leather laces and prepare myself to pull. I stare at the demon in the eyes with confidence and apprehension rising within me and mixing, confusing my senses.

What's in the pouch? I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend, if it makes you feel alright. I'll get you anything, my friend, if it makes you feel alright, because i don't don't care too much for money!

*puts down flute for a second*
Well, having cultivated my hunger before I idealised (that being a good thing to do in these situations), I think there's probably some motivated anger in there. You know, just to make them all realise. I'm off to climb a mountain without coming down, in order to break into the contents (of the chocolate factory, of course), while never falling down.
*resumes extreme flutage*

lol. So you're going to climb the mountain with the fighting dreamers, aim for the top
Fighting dreamers, don’t worry about appearances
Fighting dreamers, do what you believe in.

Another suggestion (now I've ran out of lyrics)...
The pouch unleashes an incubi into the room, hellbent on destruction. Luckily, our dear Phang is there to distract him...unfortunately, he won't leave and proceeds to show off whenever Phang is around - with disastrous results.

From my expirience n Enlgland so far, EVERYBODY hates their guts.
So we have a McFly CD and an Incubi. We need some more sugestions. I'll wait for Vamps to catch up* and post and we should have enough by then.
*She only has a chap to read and if I don't wait she'll kill me!

And if the thing in the pouch doesn't work, she could always go and join the fighting dreamers, headed for the top, fighting dreamers, fighting without a care for appearance, fighting for what they believe in and just go their way. Right here, right now, she can let it out like a dangan rider. Right here, right now that's what she should do.

Whooo!! Go Flow!!!
Has everybody been watching Naruto on here?
Anyway, I have been following this sg Storm, although it may not seem like it because I've been silently observing for the most part.
Anyway, on a serious note, it could be a beam of pure light because I'm pretty sure any demon would hate that.

Hey, how would you lot feel if I started a new Magic School game soon?
This time I'm thinking of having one main character that we all control by posting no more than 2 sentances per post*.
*this may change. And ofcourse we'd have a limit on posts in a row by the same person.

lol. i do think we're all Naruto fans (or most of us). lol. Is it 'cos it's so brilliant? lol. It's also where I got my idea for the missions.
By the way, the missions will need to be decided by you too. Also if your sugestions wins you can be the mission leader.
Hey, it's a way of involving the city. lol.

Nah. I wouldn't mind having control over the snow or weather completely. Being a Weather Witch Tramp I should. But the Tramp-Heads wouldn't let me. Apparently if I had controll over snowstorms "we'd never see the Sun or feel it's warmth again!"
So they made me a Storm Witch. Only because they knew I like blue skies and hot summers.

Just caught up Tramp. Nice story by all accounts. Good work so far, and a very interesting read. Conviced me that enough that if you ever hosted another rpg like Magic School I would defentally join...but of course that's the rpg addiction half-talking.
Just one question though,
What's an an incubi?
My first guess was a geni but I'm not exactly sure. But I voted for it anyway on the grounds it sounds fun.
As for the mission, I'd opt for the Treasure Hunt that ends in a shopping spree. Take it from someone who uses shadows to avoid the crowds....such a mission would be challenging....and fun for me to read too.

rofl!! fun eh? lol. Well I don't think I'm very good at explaining. Soon as Phang is here right now, I'll get her to explain.
*ahem* Umm....
Hmmm...
...Well...
...An incubus is an exceptionally violent male demon. Take my word for it and don't look it up on Google. At your peril. I know I did and it wasn't good, but that's a decent gist to go with.

Incubi? Succuni? Now you've confused me which ones which? And if everyone has voted I'll get the next chapter going...

It's a good job I didn't start the chapter last night! We have yet another tie peoples! And I can't break it. lol. Well, if it doesn't get broken before you attack me for the next chapter I'll redo the poll with just the two winning options.
Do you all like this color thing by the way? I'm thinking of using it in my story. but not much else because it takes time. lol

Incubi seems to be winning. But i shall not rest untill everyone votes. And I know for a fact that Vamps hasn't. I shall force her in to vote. Or bribe her with a cookie.

Darn... I just had a really good idea for it. It could be like a Kinder Egg, where you don't know what you're going to get, but it's always fun to put it togethre. Only inh this case it would always be useful. Except for now.

Well I'm sure we can have another pouch to be opened one day. Or something else that we can fit your idea into.

Everywhere. lol boxes everywhere. Infact, most things in this world seem to be related to a box shape. Maybe humans have some sort of secret obession with boxes. lol.
Next chapter coming up. But there is a quiz! we play spot the difference!
I will post the same chapter twice but one of them has been kindly edited by Vamps and Phang. So you have to quote all the differences! yey! lol.
The first one to get a difference gets 2 points for it. If you point out a difference which has already been mensioned you lose 1 point!
Only because I'm horrible like that and its funny.
I'll keep the colours out so that quoting can be easier.

Potions and Dragons!
I pull at the laces and they come loose, falling from my fingers. A powder rises in the air to form a small blue cloud glowing with power. The miniature cloud disappears with a poof. I put my fingers inside it and produce a folded up piece of bubbley poo.
The demon laughs. I unfold the bubble wrap to reveal two small white teeth. I concentrate on them and they hover in the air. The demon stops laughing and stares at me confused.
“Wha-” Before she can say the word the tic-tacks fly straight to her mouth with great speed and she begins to choke on them. Phang swallows the tic-tacks and they descend down her air tube. She chokes some more and helplessly gasps for the life saving oxygen. Unable to inhale the demon collapses and “dies”. I smile to myself and burst the bubble wrap while I’m at it. I turn to join the back of the queue, which had reformed, as the demon returns.
She curses and swears in mumbles so I don’t hear. She then speaks up to the whole class.
“The lot of ya, save some, are CRAP! GET SOME PRACTISE DONE YOU BUNCH OF WHIMPS!” she spat with anger. “Class is bloody dismissed! SIT DOWN and Get the F*&% out of my class!”
I leave the class, quite pleased with myself but still wondering about the Storm controlling girl who wanted my mums face.
The rest of the girls walk out of the room a few minutes after me. They took their time to take off their robes and walk towards me in a large bundle, staring at me. The girl who beat Phang walks slowly behind them, still in her robes. The girls look very different without their robes. They all look similar to each other though. They have perfectly straight, blond hair reaching their shoulders and they all have faces which look like they have been attacked by professional make-up artists. They look a lot like a doll of some sort, which is very disturbing.
I walk quicker, not wanting to get caught in a conversation with them. I turn a corner and then another. When I think I’ve lost them I take out my time table from my pocket and read it. Next lesson is…Rest. After that I have to rest? What sort of place is this? I didn’t do much and I get a rest already?
Not wanting to complain too much I find my way out into the gardens. I walk around admiring the flowers and green grass and tall trees. I take a good look around to familiarise myself with the place and then make my way back to the inside of the school.
I wander around the corridors to try and get used to my way around. I walk along the long passageways, coming across rooms – some empty some packed full. I find a resting room full with sofas and book cases jam packed with books. I come across a larger room full of computers and people of all different races and magical abilities staring with amazement at the computer screens.
I notice the marks on the walls, high up, near the ceilings. They glow dimly with power and definitely symbolise some sort of ancient spell. I wonder what it could be. As I walk slowly, I look up at them trying to read them. I recognise some symbols and finally a spell:
Μάγια της γης,
Μάγια τον ουρανών,
Προστατέψετε εμάς.
A very simple spell that says:
Magic of the Earth,
Magic of the skies,
Protect us.
I’m guessing that most of these are roughly about the same thing. I recognise some symbols of life and some of death, some of power and some of weakness. I’m guessing that these spells need to be in balance. You cannot write a spell which gives you nothing but good. You have to balance them out a bit. Which is why some people have to rely more or completely on physical power such as fighting more than spells.
I have a choice – I can use spells and/or fight or I could pick my bum. But I usually choose fighting techniques. Spells can get complicated and too troublesome. Like I just said, you have to balance them maybe with cheese and biscuits. As well as that when you cast a spell you have to be careful that it doesn’t backfire and shoot you in the derriere. Or they might simply not work at all.
I take my eyes from the ceiling and concentrate on memorising my way. After a few turns I come past what looks like a potions class. The room is nearly empty, save the three people gathered around the middle where their teacher stands pulling a moony.
All three students are dressed in light blue robes, without hats or hoods. Their teacher is an oversized fairy.
“Come in” she says as she sees me.
I look at my paper which says Potions, room 126, Fauna. This must be it.
“Sorry if I’m late” I say stepping in. “I wasn’t sure how long my resting session should last.
“That’s ok my dear. Come in and change into those robes. You don’t have to take your armour off. Just simply pop the robes over the top.” She smiles at me. And with a smiling reply I slip on some robes that I find hanging neatly next to the door.
I join my classmates around the medium sized table in the middle of the room.
“Peter, would you please bring our new classmate a small cauldron and stirring wand?”
“Yes Fauna.” Replies the boy and does as he was told.
All the cauldrons are as big as an ordinary kitchen saucepan and they are a shiny black, shaped perfectly and with handles designed so as to not hurt your fingers while carrying a heavy load.
Fauna hands out some ingredients to all four of us while she orders Peter and me to fill two cauldrons each half way with cold water. After we have done so, she gives us instructions which we follow exactly.
“Do no touch you stirring wands yet. Add a pinch of salt to your cauldrons. Now add two pinches of pepper after breathing on your fingers gently. Pick up your stirring wands and place them in you cauldrons but do not stir yet.
Now add three pinches of rainbow dust and stir by making four circles with your stirring wands. When you have done so, add in one feather of a chicken and one nose of a pig. Add a drop of sulphuric acid and allow mixture to fizz.” She looked up from her book she was reading from and looked at us.
“Done?”
“Yes Fauna” We reply in unison.
“Good. Now very carefully put one of these pieces of potassium onto a piece of paper and drop them on the top of the mixture. Paper must be in between the potassium and the mixture. Understood?”
“Yes Fauna” we reply and she hands us the final ingredients. We do as we are told. The paper catches fire and soon all four of us have a dancing yellow flamed cauldron each.
“Now quickly add a drop of scorpion blood.” We do so and each flame finds it’s own dance and keeps to it. And I am being serious – the flames have actually taken the form of a small human and are dancing.
“Wow! Do we get to keep these?” I ask suddenly excited.
“Of course you do! Be very careful with them though. They are highly flammable as you can see. Hold them by the handle only. You can dim them by breathing on them gently and relight them by giving the side five sharp taps. They will wear off eventually, but the salt and scorpion blood should preserve them for a while. Next time we do this, you will be making better ones.” Fauna smiles and then says, “Class dismissed. See you all on Wednesday, I do believe, or around our fair City. Adios!”
With that we pick up our cauldrons, carefully by the handles and take them to out rooms. I find my room quite easily once Boy-Peter tells me the way. I enter and place my cauldron on the small table next to my bed and leave again for my next lesson.
I follow the passageways the same way that I did to evacuate the day before and find myself outside. Then I walk around to the other side of the building by following a nicely laid path. As I turn the exterior corner with the path, I find myself facing the side of the school with the fields and right in front of me stood a large read dragon with a big one.
“…they might take it easy on you as you don’t seem very experienced in the art –
We don not allow robes while dragon riding, I’m afraid. You will have to go and get changed really quickly.” The dragon looked at me. I quickly took off my robes to reveal my armour and weaponry and look at the dragon questioningly as if to say ‘is this good enough?’
The dragon smiles suggestingly and continues explaining. “You have one Lesser Dragon each. Choose which one you want to ride. Do not just hop on. That might just cost you your life. You must befriend the dragon first. They might not be as intelligent as us Higher-Dragons but they do have feelings and they are very proud creatures! Now get going! Chop-chop!”
He says and he chops off his leg.
There are three of us in total. There is a young girl, not much older than me, with black curls tied back into a pony tail which ends just past her shoulders. The other is a boy, probably younger than me. His white, well looked after hair resting on his stooping shoulders and his deep blue eyes add to the ill look of his pale features.
We walk over to the three smaller dragons grazing in the field. There is a Green one, a blue one and one as black as night. The girl approaches the blue one, the boy the green one and strangely, I am left with the black one.
I approach it and it stands. I gasp at the size of it! I had never guessed that it could be this big! It isn’t quite as big as the female red teacher, but it’s still bloody huge! I’ve never seen one THAT big, man oh man, what a boy. It has eyes a deep blue colour. I look at them and I am soon lost in a world on sky and sea.
I come round to a wet fish on my forehead. I open my eye to see the curly haired girl leaning over me. I sit up.
“What hapened?” I ask.
“You must never look a Black Dragon in the eyes. This one is just a baby. An adult one is three times the size and can leave you in a new world for anything from minutes to decades! You don’t want that…oh noes”
Hearing that, my eyes widen. “How long have I been out?” I gasp as warm wet R&B sensation spread between my legs- I’d passed wind.
“Three minutes.” Answers the girl and I look around to find that I’m still in the field and the dragon is…where? I turn with shock to feel warm air blow on the back of my neck. I see the large black dragon looking at me and I quickly close eyes my before I lose myslef again.
“The only way that you can ride, ride like the wind bull’s-eye, a Black Dragon is if you become its closest friend. And to do that you need to be able to look into its eyes and remain in the same world.” I stare at the girl.
“How will I ever do that?” I ask thinking that she must be constipated.

I join my classmates around the medium sized table in the middle of the room.
“Peter, would you please bring our new classmate a small cauldron and stirring wand?”
“Yes Fauna.” Replies the boy and does as he was told.
All the cauldrons are as big as an ordinary kitchen saucepan and they are a shiny black, shaped perfectly and with handles designed so as to not hurt your fingers while carrying a heavy load.
Fauna hands out some ingredients to all four of us while she orders Peter and me to fill two cauldrons each half way with cold water. After we have done so, she gives us instructions which we follow exactly.
“Do no touch you stirring wands yet. Add a pinch of salt to your cauldrons. Now add two pinches of pepper after breathing on your fingers gently. Pick up your stirring wands and place them in you cauldrons but do not stir yet.
Now add three pinches of rainbow dust and stir by making four circles with your stirring wands. When you have done so, add in one feather of a chicken and one nose of a pig. Add a drop of sulphuric acid and allow mixture to fizz.” She looked up from her book she was reading from and looked at us.
“Done?”
“Yes Fauna” We reply in unison.
“Good. Now very carefully put one of these pieces of potassium onto a piece of paper and drop them on the top of the mixture. Paper must be in between the potassium and the mixture. Understood?”
“Yes Fauna” we reply and she hands us the final ingredients. We do as we are told. The paper catches fire and soon all four of us have a dancing yellow flamed cauldron each.
“Now quickly add a drop of scorpion blood.” We do so and each flame finds it’s own dance and keeps to it. And I am being serious – the flames have actually taken the form of a small human and are dancing.
“Wow! Do we get to keep these?” I ask suddenly excited.
“Of course you do! Be very careful with them though. They are highly flammable as you can see. Hold them by the handle only. You can dim them by breathing on them gently and relight them by giving the side five sharp taps. They will wear off eventually, but the salt and scorpion blood should preserve them for a while. Next time we do this, you will be making better ones.” Fauna smiles and then says, “Class dismissed. See you all on Wednesday, I do believe, or around our fair City. Adios!”
With that we pick up our cauldrons, carefully by the handles and take them to out rooms. I find my room quite easily once Peter tells me the way. I enter and place my cauldron on the small table next to my bed and leave again for my next lesson.
I follow the passageways the same way that I did to evacuate the day before and find myself outside. Then I walk around to the other side of the building by following a nicely laid path. As I turn the exterior corner with the path, I find myself facing the side of the school with the fields and right in front of me stood a large read dragon.
“…they might take it easy on you as you don’t seem very experienced in the art –
We don not allow robes while dragon riding, I’m afraid. You will have to go and get changed really quickly.” The dragon looked at me. I quickly took off my robes to reveal my armour and weaponry and look at the dragon questioningly as if to say ‘is this good enough?’
The dragon smiles and continues explaining. “You have one Lesser Dragon each. Choose which one you want to ride. Do not just hop on. That might just cost you your life. You must befriend the dragon first. They might not be as intelligent as us Higher-Dragons but they do have feelings and they are very proud creatures! Now get going! Chop-chop!”
There are three of us in total. There is a young girl, not much older than me, with black curls tied back into a pony tail which ends just past her shoulders. The other is a boy, probably younger than me. His white, well looked after hair resting on his stooping shoulders and his deep blue eyes add to the ill look of his pale features.
We walk over to the three smaller dragons grazing in the field. There is a Green one, a blue one and one as black as night. The girl approaches the blue one, the boy the green one and strangely, I am left with the black one.
I approach it and it stands. I gasp at the size of it! I had never guessed that it could be this big! It isn’t quite as big as the female red teacher, but it’s still bloody huge! It has eyes a deep blue colour. I look at them and I am soon lost in a world on sky and sea.
I come round to a wet cloth on my forehead. I open my eye to see the curly haired girl leaning over me. I sit up.
“What happened?” I ask.
“You must never look a Black Dragon in the eyes. This one is just a baby. An adult one is three times the size and can leave you in a new world for anything from minutes to decades!”
Hearing that, my eyes widen. “How long have I been out?” I gasp.
“Two minutes.” Answers the girl and I look around to find that I’m still in the field and the dragon is…where? I turn with shock to feel warm air blow on the back of my neck. I see the large black dragon looking at me and I quickly close my eyes before I lose myself again.
“The only way that you can ride a Black Dragon is if you become its closest friend. And to do that you need to be able to look into its eyes and remain in the same world.” I stare at the girl.
“How will I ever do that?” I ask thinking that she must be joking.
So which chapter do you think is the original? This is a trick question

Well, we have

| Quote: | | I put my fingers inside the pouch and produce a folded up piece of bubble wrap. |
and
| Quote: | | I unfold the bubble wrap to reveal two small white teeth. |
| Quote: | | I unfold the bubble wrap to reveal two small white tic-tacks. |
and
| Quote: | I have a choice – I can use spells and/or fight.
Like I just said, you have to balance them.
As well as that when you cast a spell you have to be careful that it doesn’t backfire.
They room is nearly empty, save the three people gathered around the middle where their teacher stands. |
| Quote: | I have a choice – I can use spells and/or fight or I could pick my bum.
Like I just said, you have to balance them maybe with cheese and biscuits.
As well as that when you cast a spell you have to be careful that it doesn’t backfire and shoot you in the derriere.
The room is nearly empty, save the three people gathered around the middle where their teacher stands pulling a moony. |
For the DP, wear glasses with some kind of magical resistance.

I'm surprised no one's found the big error yet...the really big, obvious error...I'd say it but I was the one who did it so I'm not allowed.
Come on people! It's right in your face!

lol.
I like the contacts idea.
I'll add one:
Maybe she could take some sort of 'mess-with-your-insides' medicine (i dont like medicines:) ) that makes her unable to pass out.

OK. We have another tie! Does anyone else keep getting ties in their SGs almost every poll or is it just me?
Well, I'll just have to combine the two ideas. Glasses and drugs..... hhmmm....hopefully it won't be too hard. *brings up word* I'll start writing now then.
I don't know how many of you were there, or took part in this, but when I was doing Down the Garden I did the polls in a new way. I made them so that only I knew what you were voting for. All the readers did was comment, give options and then vote for A, B or C.
I was just wondering what you lot think about doing the same for here... Please comment whether your for or against.
Danke *Starts writing next chapter*

Dydes! This color code is killing me! anyway, after struggling along with the colour code, here is the next cahpter.
Please, if you notice that I keep changing tenses, let me know.
If you don't like the colour, let me know.
If there is anything about the chapter that you don't like or that you think can be improved, please please please tell me.
It's too late for me to think for myself
Chapter~8~Reunion
She shakes her head. “Sorry, I don’t know. Nobody has ever done it before. The only person to ever control this one is Miss Rai. And that’s only because she’s a dragon herself.”
Kalanna Rai walks up to us in her human form. She pats the dragon gently and says hello before turning her attention to me. She hands me a blue case, “Wear these”, and a small white chemist tub, “and take one of these each time you look at your dragon in the eyes until you feel 100% confident about your friendship with this beautiful creature.”
I open the case and the tub and look at her confused. “You mean all that someone needs to do is take some pills and wear some glittery glasses and they can look the Dragon in the eye?”
“Yes.” Comes my reply.
“And no one has ever done this before?”
“No.” comes my next reply and before I need to ask why, Kalanna explains to me. “The pills and the glasses only help. You need to have confidence and trust in yourself and the dragon. Then this trust and confidence needs to grow stronger and stronger. The stronger it gets the stronger you two get. However the weaker it gets, the weaker you get as a team.”
“Oh. Can I ask one last thing? I’m not trying to be rude but, why was I put in this class? No offence but….” I’m not too sure how to say this. I don’t need a dragon, I don’t want one, I didn’t ask for one. But Dragons are proud creatures, I’m worried that this might hurt. “I don’t think I need a Dragon. I never asked for one, so why do I have to bond with it?”
The dragon raises his head in the air and gives out a high pitched but angry roar, the sound piercing my ears. But thankfully he doesn’t do anything else but lie down and put his face on his paws like a saddened puppy.
“You do. If I am not mistaken, you are Triennia, daughter of Proto and Deftera, sister of Tesoro. Your father has been searching for you and your brother and now we know that you and your brother are searching for your fath-”
BLACK
My eyelids flutter and my eyes open. I wake up in my bed, the room is dimly lit by my Flaming Cauldron and someone is sitting on the edge of my bed, another person is standing by the door, leaning against the door frame and two other people are sitting on one of the other beds talking quietly to each other.
“She’s awake,” Whispers the person on my bed. The boy by the door shuffles but doesn’t go anywhere. I can’t pick out any familiar faces or put a name to the voice. I close my eyes, take a deep breath and open them again. This time I can see and the room seems to be a bit brighter. I don’t recognise the person on my bed, but I recognise that Tramp and IM are sitting on the other bed (now looking at me) and the boy at the door is….
“Tes…oro?”
He nods. My heart starts to race. Now I realise what that feeling was when we first met, the feeling that I know him. I do. He’s my brother! My heart races faster and faster as I think about what Kalanna Rai said to me before, my breathing gets faster and louder. The woman on my bed starts whispering a spell and I calm down again. Now Storm moves over to me.
“Triennia? How are you feeling?”
“I don’t know. I – I – ” I close my mouth. I don’t know what to say. I’m just too confused. What’s going on? Did they come to me because they knew who I am? Have they known all along what I’m trying to do? Who I’m looking for and why?
“Trien, I’m as confused as you are right now. I can’t remember much from when I was little, but I remember a bit. I know this is going to be hard, but we have to accept the fact that we are siblings. And then we need to find our father.”
“Tesoro?” I whisper and sit up in bed. “I – I think I – remember…”I stare into thin air and my mind wanders back to my early childhood. Dodle, demons, my den….no. Further. I will my memory and try hard to think back to when I was really small. A puppy, and alsation in the rain…. No. Further. A girl. Me. Alone. No, further….further back…..A small cottage, the sun is shining. A woman sitting on the front porch with a man. Two small children playing in the garden with wooden swords, pretending to be Demons and Hunters. Yes. Me with my older brother, two years older than me. I trip over a skipping rope on the floor and he travels from the other side of the small garden to me and catches me just before I hit the ground. I start to cry from the shock of falling and he sits me down and comforts me. I remember.
“I remember” I say louder. “Tesoro. I remember you. You’re my brother. My older brother. You always looked after me. You took me away when Mother went to fight. You hid me in our den made from sheets and cushions in the cupboard at the back of your bedroom.”
“But I didn’t come back…” tears come to our eyes.
IM taps Storm’s shoulder and winks. They get up and the three of them leave, leaving me alone with my long lost brother.
He comes to my bed and we hug, both of us crying. My brother. I found him. I had whipped him from my mind because I had been so angry at him for not returning. All those years.
“Why?” I sob. “Why didn’t you come back? Why did you leave me alone?”
“I – I did come back. But the house – it was gone. All of it. The whole thing burnt to ashes. I thought you were dead!”
“They came for me. I ran away and they burnt the house down. I heard them laugh as I ran. They said I wouldn’t survive. I was too young. I was only 5! I hated you! I forgot you on purpose! I thought you didn’t love me anymore...I was wrong.” We both break down into tears and apologise to each other.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A week has passed since my reunion with my brother. It took us a few days to get used to the fact that we are related and we’ve been training hard ever since. In the day we go to our lessons and in the afternoon we train together in the empty fields at the edge of the city from where I came and then go back to the school before we have to encounter anyone from the city.
Today is Wednesday and my first lesson is Vampireology. First the Dragons (I haven’t made friends with my Dragon yet) and now Vapmires. I hope this is going to be usefull. I’m walking around the passagways trying to find my class, following the signs. I finally find the right room, I enter and sit in the same seat I sat last time. Vamps gives out pens and paper and goes to the front of the room to start the lesson.
“Welcome everyone! Last week we talked about how Vampires became Vampires. And about the advantages and disadvantages of the Biting process and the Hand to Hand method. At the end of today’s lesson we will spend 5 or 10 minutes to revise what we covered last lesson and what we will cover today. Ok so today we will look at…

Thanks Lili!
I read your post out to Vamps and told her that she should be happy. Her reply is "...come on man don't die you should be happy. Oh is it my turn to die yet?....I've ran out of food". too much Lost in Blue2 for that one! now she told me to shut up. lol
anyway, I like your idea. If it wins the polls we'll have to all chip in and work out some sort of cool Vampire History to go into it.
By the way, does anybody here know if you're allowed to submit a SG for English coursework? I know we have to do a story but I don't know if the Board are fussy about SGs that other people have helped in...

*looks around and wipes some dust off the table* ok... I'll go for Vampire History. I'll start putting some stuff together but I'm going to need your help. I need replies people. So far only Lilith's sugested stuff. Thanks Lili
If you want to sugest something different to Vampire History then please do. Also you can throw in your ideas about Vampire wars or how they came to be and stuff like that.
Also I've noticed not many replies for this last chap.... If it's the chapter's fault, aka there's something wrong with it, tell me so that I can fix it. I've said this before and I'll say it again: I want critisism. Be nasty for all I care. It's the only way I can give you a story you'll like.

okey dokey then. lets get down to buissness *streches arms*
right then, YAY!!!!!!!! Longer story chap!!!
cheers storm, that was great.
Vampire history sounds brill. You could talk about famous vampires like Mr Crepsley. and say what they have done for society, like going off and doing...stuff.
Well, stuff like, finding a new source of blood so they don't kill off all the humans....becoming alliances with the humans to help stop wars and fight wars with other beings
and whatever, can't think of anything, hope that helped
Okay, you've just asked me is there anything for you to improve on? Ive got one for you! Stop asking me!
I don't think there's anything right now lol

Chapter 9 part 1
“Vampires are very, very old. You all know that. But what you don’t know is how they ever came to be. Nobody does. Some say that a human was bitten by a bat, over a thousand years ago. Others say it was just a mutation which occurred millions of years ago. But nobody can prove any theory right or wrong. And we don’t really need to.
You should all know that there are different types of Vampires but all of them can be killed with a stake through the heart. Here are some facts that you need to know about and eventually remember them off by heart.”
The teacher dressed in purple dresses hands out sheets to everyone in the class. Then she reads out from one of her spare copies.
“Most American Vampires can be killed by a silver bullet through the heart.
North American Vampires can also be killed by applying liquid silver to their chests.
Old British Vampires (usually found in hideouts in the highlands of the UK) can be killed by a silver bullet.
New British Vampires (the Young-uns. Found amongst most populated areas in the UK) can be killed by any bullet that hits the brain, Silver Solution (a type of poison) or by applying liquid silver drops to their Fingertip Gates (the cuts on their fingertips which were made during the ‘Turning’ process.
Other European Vampires can be rid off using Ice Daggers, Ice Bullets or by freezing their fingertips.
And finally Asian Vampires can be rid off using any bullet through the heart or head.”
The teacher looks around the class once she has finished reading.
“Any questions?” Her reply is a class of satisfied faces and a few ‘that sounds like a doss’ expressions.
“Good. Triennia, tell me what you know about the 5 main Races.”
I think for a second…
“I’m sorry, Miss, I’ve never heard of the 5 Races.” I say in a small voice. I hear some giggles, whispers and short gasps.
“Not to worry. It’s your first few weeks at school still. Jackie?”
A girl lowers her hand after getting the teacher’s attention and starts to speak in a loud, clear voice.
“The 5 Main Races are Humans, Vampires, Vampanese, Mages and Demons. There are lots of minor races such as dwarfs, elves, Lesser Demons and fairies. But the 5 Main Races are the most powerful. Each Race has its good and bad points. Some Races rely on other Races to survive and some Races don’t even know that there are 5 Main Races. This causes wars between the Races. If one Race beats another, it takes all its power and its place in the Race Circle.”
“Very good.” says Vamps when Jackie has finished. “For example, Humans have no idea bout the other Races, they think they’re myths. Vampires and Vampanese rely on humans for food, but the Vampanese kill when they feed. Most Vampires have split from humans and they do not kill when they feed. The Vampires want to protect the naïve humans and so, they war against the Vampanese.
Also Demons want power. They are just plain greedy. However the two Vamp Races are too powerful and have no magic of which the Demons can benefit from and Humans are too weak. And so the Demons attack the Mages. And it works like that.”
I raise my hand.
“Yes?” Vamps looks at me and nods. I lower my hand and hesitate.
“What’s the Race Circle?”
“The Race Circle is a sort of circle with its perimeter split into five equal parts – One part for each Race. It simply represents how much power each Race has. And for example if the Vampires beat the Vampanese, the Vampires will have two fifths (there’s and the Vampanese’s) of the circle.”
So that would mean that they have more power and they can take over another Race…
“Now, I want you all to answer these following questions on this sheet, I’m giving out.”
She hands a sheet to each of us. I read the first question:
Why do the Demons attack mainly Mages?
I start to answer my questions.

Cahpter 9 Part 2!
I write down my answers, then my name at the top of the page and then I sit and wait for further instructions.
Vamps comes around and collects the sheets, she puts them in a pile on her desk and opens her mouth to speak.
DONG!.................DONG!....DONG! DONG! The donging gets louder and faster, more urgent. We all rise to our feet at once. Some people’s eyes change colour, others change form, and some become invisible or blend into the closest wall as I reach for my sword.
“Nobody panic!” Vamps raises her arms and tries to calm everyone down.
Triennia! the voice of my long lost mother sounds in the distance as if she’s trying to reach out to me, to take me by the hand and lead me to safety.
“Everybody line up by the door and we will walk out straight to the Shed in an orderly and calm manner!” Vamps’ attempts to hush everyone is failing quite badly. I look around me in panic, trying to think of what could be wrong. Are we under attack? Is it the dwarf? Is there a fire? False alarm? I held the last option in my thoughts a little longer, clinging to it with hope.
“SHUT – THE – HELL UP!” a loud, male voice booms across the Castle-like school and thunder is heard as lightning flashes outside. Vamps smiles as everyone does what we were told to do in the first place.
Soon every single person from the school is gathered in the same shed we gathered in when the dwarf attacked. I find Tessero and ask him if he knows what’s wrong, but has no idea.
“ATTENTION PLEASE!” booms the same voice but in a friendlier tone. We all turn to the same direction to find every teacher standing in 3 rows by the entrance of the shed.
“Right then,” Begins Storm, “something has hit the building. In particular: the Stables and the Cave.” Her face darkens. “One horse is hurt and two dragons. The horse is Thunder.” There are a few gasps.
“That’s why she’s mad”, explains Tessero. “Rumour has that the last time someone hurt one of her horses she tracked them down and they were never to be seen again. Some people say it was a Regnis and that her awful cries can still be heard…amongst the screams of the Lost Souls, deep in the Idearium mines.”
I stare at him shocked.
“The dragons are Crystal and the Black Dragon.”
My face sets hard. The Black Dragon. That’s the dragon I’ve been trying to ride.
“What hit the Stables and the Cave?” someone asks.
“We have checked the rubble and so far all we can tell for sure is that it was a Demon’s Energy Ball. We are unsure which Demon did this or what colour the energy ball was. But one thing if for certain…” announces IM.
Fauna sighs and some of the flowers floating around her dry and fall to the ground.
“We have to fight.” Vamps’ eyes brighten and she smiles a blood thirsty smile which sends shivers down my back.
Everyone just stares. I don’t think anybody in here has ever fought a battle before.
“Jack, James and Jacob”, orders Storm, “Follow Fauna to the Stables and the cave. We need you to investigate the rubble and find out the colour/level of energy ball and who it belonged to.”
“Yes Miss!” they say in unison and follow the flowery fairy, Fauna out of the shed.
“IF you have Demonology, Friday first lesson or Wednesday third lesson you now have demonology all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday” Phang announces, smiles and adds, “with me, of course.”
Sighs and disappointed ‘oh’s or ‘ah’s spread across the crowd of students.
“There will be a lovely Trap setting club going on, starting immediately. I want 10 volunteers. You will be taught, tested and tor- taught” IM smiles nervously when he almost let slip a word I’m guessing he was not meant to say out loud, “until you are experts at Trap Setting.” he continues, “Also, at the same time you will set traps around the outskirts of the Magic School so as to delay – or better – not allow enemies to enter and/or attack.”
Storm takes over again, “Anybody who still has problems with controlling their powers, is not quite confident or seriously and honestly is too scared to fight, see me when you are dismissed at the end and I will sort you out.
Fauna will be teaching the Medical Mages extra lessons and she will also do some extra Potions lessons. Also any Medical Mage who knows how to, will you please help treat the injured Dragons and horse? Thank you.” The urgency in her tone and the appreciation shown in her expression when she sees the nods in the crowd makes me realise how important these animals are to her.
“Whitey will organise a big ‘distraction’ team – which will be safe to enter – and they will prepare for an attack.
I want all of you to prepare for battle. We will have Fighter teams organised, and specialist squads will be selected in time. Until then, if you do not fit into any of the groups organised so far, make your own or see one of us. Vamps will be running a fighting club. It might be a bit different to your normal Fighting lessons but it will work.
Now off you go and do not worry. Everything will be ok if we are ready.”
Storm finishes off and we are all dismissed. I notice some small girls and two or three very young boys walk towards Storm sobbing and trembling.
“What clubs are you joining?” Tessero asks me as we walk out the doors.
“Don’t know yet. You?”
“I’m going to practise my combat, but I don't know if I should do it alone or now. I’ve taken after Dad.” He smiles a proud smile. “I know the moves”, his smile disappears, “I just need to make sure I can execute them correctly.”
I smile at him, feel my pockets, clear my throat and look towards the damaged Cave.
Long enough for ya, Vamps? lol
So you have a poll which I'll put up after I post this.
Now for a discussion:
What do you think Triennia has on her mind? I know what she's thinking - it's planned.
But I'll give a little prize of 5 Flables to the closest answer and 5 Flables to the most imaginative one.

| I've got a better idea. ask only one person to practice with but you can leve the fighting club for later. it'll be fun. Then if it doesn't work out jion the club and if that doesn't work then practice by your self. they say one who walks alone on a rough road are destined to go far ways and achive great things. but those who walks in a crowd you'll only go as far as the crowd will go.

So, while we wait, is there anything in particular that you would like to happen at some point in the story? Anything at all - funny, sad, scary, anything.
