Magick of Life

This week we have an amazing story from LadyNightOwl! It is really old but we are still deciding to feature it in this Week's issue for everyone!

Enjoy!

"Savannah Spryad punched her pillows into a comfortable mound under head and closed her emerald green eyes. Sleep came quickly and took her away to dreams and the strangest place.

An elderly man in flowing blue robes sprinkled with stars called her by an odd name, gave her a stick sprouting with green leaves and a backpack. "Welcome to Wizard City, Savannah Spritedust," he told her.

"Where? Who?" she asked in confusion.

"You are who, dear," said an owl from his perch. "And you are in Wizard City. I am Gamma and this is Merle Ambrose, Headmaster of Ravenwood School."

"You have much to learn about magic and our ways, Savannah, and the professors at Ravenwood have much to teach you. If you go out this door," Ambrose pointed behind her, "and out through the gate, you will find the tunnel to Ravenwood on your left. After you talk to all the professors, come back here and I will teach you a new spell."

Savannah was flabbergasted. Curiosity had her obediently turning around and walking out the door, turning left as the headmaster told her. There were many other kids her age running around. Her mouth fell open at the sight of their clothes and how they seemed to chase little blue orbs.

The chatter was like nothing she ever heard.

"Did you see those Gobblers? Ugh, they actually farted at me," one light-haired boy said.

A girl replied with an unimpressed air, "Oh, that's nothing, wait until you see the monsters in Nightside."

Monsters?! What kind of place is this? Savannah thought, her heart beating fast. She tried to ignore the conversation and kept walking toward the Ravenwood tunnel. Picking a direction at random, she headed left and into a structure that had a leaf emblem on the door.

Once inside, she jumped in surprise. A cow/woman waited at the front of a classroom. "Hellooo," she said. "I am Moolinda Wu, the Life School Professor here at Ravenwood. It is always good to see a new student of Life." She peered closely at Savannah and nodded in approval. "Yes, I see that you are drawn to the healing arts."

Savannah gasped and asked, "how can you tell?"

Professor Wu smiled kindly, "just something in your eyes, a genuine concern for the well-being of others and an affinity with nature. Go on and meet the other professors, we'll see each other again soon."
