School of Wizardry-Part 6 (Gateway Woes)


GATEWAY WOES

Prologue
Looks like you're maturing a little as a young wizard. Uncle Mortimer might start giving you some more responsibilities.

Chp1: Notice Uncle Mortimer is very distracted lately
Lately Uncle Mortimer has been forgetting about your magic lessons. He doesn't even remind you to do your non-wizard homework. He's also out of the house a lot and you see him talking to Leanna's dad and Morgan's grandfather intently. You can tell something is wrong.

Chp2: You've reached the final chapters of the History of Magic
To your horror, you find out that the human soul is the secret to wizard immortality. Early in the Gylmendor Era a great wizard was able to open a portal to the human world by accident. For a while humans and wizards co-existed peaceably until the evil elder wizard Murkindarm discovered that he could increase his power by consuming human souls.

Chp3: Read the final chapters of the History of Magic on your own
You're becoming quite studious! Uncle Mortimer didn't even have to force you to do your lessons. It turns out that the Elder Wizard Murkindarm almost succeeded in achieving infinite power and immortality. A great war ensued between the humans and wizards with a great number of wizards siding with the humans. In the end, the humans were victorious and most of Murkindarm's followers were vanquished. A council of Elder Wizards was set up to guard the Gateway carefully.

Chp4: Ask Uncle Mortimer why he's been worried lately
To your surprise, Uncle Mortimer answers frankly that a small uprising of evil wizards have plans to breech the Gateway on the wizard world side. The Elder Council has made plans to boost security and may send a few more Elder Wizards to the human world.

Chp5: Practice intermediate level spells
From showing almost no magic abilities when you first arrived at Uncle Mortimer's to now, you've vastly improved. It seems that your wizard abilities are almost exponentially improving. It's impressive for a half wizard. Actually, it's quite impressive for any young wizard.

Chp6: Practice dueling with Leanna and Morgan
You're beating Leanna and Morgan on a regular basis. Leanna still has a faster draw and Morgan can defend better, but you seem to be able to cast much stronger spells! Leanna's dad advises to take these practice sessions seriously as you never know when you might need to use your powers.

Chp7: Help patrol the Mystic Forest's edges
Uncle Mortimer wants to patrol the edges of the Mystic Forest. He senses that something might be a miss. You beg him to tag along and he finally agrees.

Chp8: Repel a gargoyle attack
As you approach the Wizard Gateway, a gargoyle leaps out and rushes you. Your immediate reaction is to run. Uncle Mortimer deftly casts a stun spell. However, the magical beast is too powerful and knocks Uncle Mortimer down. You turn around and despite all your fear you're able to cast a sleep spell. This gives Uncle Mortimer a chance to cast a binding spell.

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, ...
