Chapter 1: Home

“Dave, where are you!” I yelled.
“Over here, under the water in the swamp by our house!” He said.
Dave and I are two 23-year-old men that live in a swampy jungle tree, with wooden planks that we turned into some tables, chairs, beds, ceilings, and floorings. It’s basically like a tree house, that’s giant.
“Okay, I was just wondering if I could have another magic lesson.” I said as I walked over to the green, mossy, and disgusting water that he was taking a bath in.
“Alright, just give me a few minutes in the bath and I will get my leafy clothes on and I will meet you at home”
Barely looking at him because he was naked, I told him that’s fine, and I’ll wait in the workshop with my wand and my mental hope.
My wand is a beautiful tan color with black streaks across it and a coral snake curled around it that will only become alive when I cast a spell, it will open its mouth and show its useful but deadly fangs with black poison dripping from them. The handle is black with a green stripe that goes around it.
I see Dave climbing the vines up to our house, Magelica, while holding a cooked fish in his rough cold hands for supper.
“One sec, I’m almost up, I know how eager you are to learn the fomonda spell. You know, the spell that makes anything you cast it at will disappear forever and never come back. It’s a very powerful spell and I’ll teach you to use it carefully.” Dave said.
“I’ll make sure I use it carefully and correctly, because last time I didn’t listen to you, I burned down our last house with the flamemandic spell.” I said.
When he climbed all the way up to the house he walked me back to our workshop. Then he taught me how to use the wand if I cast this spell, I would have to lunge my wand forward. After that, I have to yell FOMONDA! Finally I tried the enchantment on my old teddy bear, I had slept with in my childhood that I didn’t care about anymore, and the spell made a sound so deep and so loud it sounded like thunder then…POOF… my teddy bear vanished into thin air. Now I agree with my best-friend, Dave, that this was a very powerful and somewhat evil spell, it has to be used for reasonable uses like spilled drinks on the floor or a rapidly ticking bomb.
I sweat a lot after a big spell like that because it took a huge amount of energy out of me. It kind of feels like I just did two hours of a work-out, except it’s only been 30 seconds. Dave teaches me most of my spells, and he does a marvelous job at teaching me.
Dave learned a lot of his magical abilities from the magnificent wizard Fumblemore. Fumblemore is one of the greatest wizards of all the others. He can lift a whole castle with his mind. Fumblemore has one purple fingerless glove to hide an eye he has on his palm. The reason why he has an eye on his palm is because one of the potions he was making wasn’t done and it spilled on his hand and well…an eye started to grow in his hand and it worked like a normal eye should. So, he kept it. Fumblemore also wears a black cloak with white star shaped spots all over it. He has a white goatee that goes down to his sternum and in to a point, like a big sword. Fumblemore can also tell the future one month before it happens, that’s why he knows that the dark force called Pranifacus is coming in exactly one month to steal our powers and turn us into weak humans. We are humans just stronger with powerful magic, also known as wizards.

Later that afternoon Dave and I went on a walk just so we could talk more about my training so we could send Pranifacus to Heaven so god could deal with it with Fumblemore. All three of us side by side shining our powers toward it and using our enchantments to not hurt it but to send it to heaven and let God deal with it. Pranifacus guards The Gates of Hell, so The Devil is protected from any angels of Heaven or Him. That’s why Dave and I want to capture Pranifacus, because when we send it then we go after The Devil. Then we abduct him and bring him to God, so The Devil can’t do his dirty deeds anymore. God will keep him locked in Heaven for eternity. No one will have to suffer the depths of Hell anymore. We would save the world. First, Dave, Me, and Fumblemore will have to meet together and make a plan, then we do that plan.
While we were walking, both of us decided that we should go visit master Fumblemore. So, we walked to Fumblemore’s majestic castle. As Dave and I walked we begin to talk again.
“Do you think we’ll be able send Pranifacus to Heaven?” I asked.

“Jake, listen to me when I say this, I know we will be able to send Pranifacus to Heaven, because we’re in this together, all three of us. We can do it! All we need to do is train hard and believe we can. Just keep that in your mind, we can. Its good self-encouragement, I think you could use that.” Dave said then gave me a pat on that back.
I thought about what he said and it made me feel like our mission will go just fine, at least okay. I’m not as worried we’re going fail and lose our powers, because now I’m almost always saying to myself, I can do it. It makes me really know, that I can really do it, all I have to do is try my best.

Dave and I stand by Fumblemore’s tremendously huge castle. We open the door and to see an old man with a beard that goes down to the middle of his chest then realized who the old man was, Fumblemore. We told him we wanted to talk about sending Pranifacus to heaven with our powers. Dave and I asked how we do this.
Then he said, “You should sit down, we have a lot of talking to do.”
