School of Wizardry-Part 1 (Portsville)

PORTSVILLE

Prologue
You're about to make the move from the big city to a small town. Hopefully, life won't be too boring in Portsville.

Chp1: Move from NYC to your Uncle Mortimer's house in Portsville
Your struggling single mother worries about your safety in the big city. You object at first, but when you see how hard she works to make ends meet, you agree to move in with Uncle Mortimer. Plus, once she saves enough to move to a better part of town, she promises that you can move back.

Chp2: Make new friends with the kids in town
Even though you've just met, somehow it feels like you've known Leanna and Morgan your entire life. There's an immediate and almost magical bond.

Chp3: Confront the town bully
Big Jimmy the town bully and his friends notice you, Leanna, and Morgan coming out of the mall. He pushes you down and takes your money. He and his friends laugh as they walk away. Your eyes burn with anger and somehow his pants burst into flames. Strange...

Chp4: Find out that your Uncle Mortimer is a wizard
It's the middle of the night and you can't sleep. You wander downstairs to find Uncle Mortimer gazing into a blue cloud of smoke while levitating a large book in the air with a wooden wand.

Chp5: Discover that you possess wizard powers as well
Uncle Mortimer explains that your dad was also a wizard and although your mom is a normal human, you inherited some of his wizard gifts. He warns you to guard these secrets with your life and not to use your powers unless it is absolutely necessary.

Chp6: Try using Uncle Mortimer's wand while he's out running errands
You point the wand at a few dishes and wave it around a little. Nothing happens. You point it at some books and give the wand a more vigorous wave, which instantly flings all the books off the shelf, smashes all the dishes on the ground, and knocks over the fish tank.

Chp7: Uncle Mortimer yells at you for using his wand
Uncle Mortimer warns you that your powers are not yet mature and as a result are unpredictable. You must wait for your abilities to mature a bit more. In due time he will guide you to use your powers. For now, you must clean up the mess you've made... without magic!

Chp8: Get a wand of your own
Uncle Mortimer takes you deep into the Mystical Forest to the Dwarf Wand Maker to get you a wand of your very own.

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out, ...
