I'll fix the chapters later, DEAL WITH IT!

Fire is a Dangerous Thing

I

Somehow I knew something was wrong.

 

I was fast asleep that frosty Monday morning, the house sullen as ever, untill there was a series of shrill screeches. I awoke suddenly to find the origin of the noise was casey, my phoenix, he was frantic and restless.

 

Casey only makes that sound when.....

 

I grabbed my staff and flew across the room and sprinted for the main door. When I opened the huge double doors, a gust of wind came through that was so strong, it blew me back several feet. Casey, looking like a drunk schizo, flew to my side.

As I got to my feet, I saw two hooded figures glaring down at me. I guess they aren't here for tea. When i got up, I could see them more clearly. Both men had pale skin and black eyes. They were tall and skinny, each a scythe in hand. Great......they're death.

"Hey, could we maybe do this outside?"

The first one rushed at me, knocking over a pile of crates.

"Oh come on, you tried to knock into that!"

He swung his scythe overhead, right for my neck. I ducked and hit him over the head with my staff, stunning him for a couple seconds. I whirled around, pointed my staff at the second guy, a fire ball exploded from my staff, hitting him square in the chest. He disintegrated into ivory powder. I turned around just in time to see the first guy hit me on the shoulder with the but of his scythe. On the ground, i swung my staff upwards and a pheonix came out of the ground. Two seconds later there was nothing left but the same ivory powder the other guy left.

I looked around and saw the result of the havoc that had just taken place inside my house. If suri sees this, she will kill me.

I walked out and found my way to Headmaster Ambrose's house. After I informed him of the incident at my house, he told me that without further leads, we can do nothing about it, and I should keep close attention to my house from now on. Thats it? Thats all you have to say? My pet could give better advice!

In the next week, all had been calm, untill the day i got an urgent message from Ambrose, requiring my immediate presence. Professor Falmea dismissed me from my class, since there wasnt much left she could really teach me at this point anyway, and i was on my way.

Upon my arrival, Ambrose told me to take a seat. This can't be good.

"Earlier this morning, your sister, was kidnapped."

III

"What!" I yell. "Why the hell didnt you tell me earlier? I could have gone after her!"

At this point flames licked from my fingertips and were spreading throughout my body. If the room weren't spell proof, it would be on fire.

"We couldn't let a student run off and try to be a hero and let you die" Ambrose answered smoothly.

"She's my SISTER! Of f***ing course i'm going to go after her! Amber needs me!" I fumed

"Justin, we are organizing an experienced rescue team composed of four professors." He told me.

"There is no way I am going to sit here while my sister is out there! The professors need to stay and teach classes anyway!"

"Wizard, you must understand that we can not let a student go on a dangerous mission like this. You just don't have the experience." He remarked

"EXPERIENCE?!" I nearly screamed, "What exactly do you think i have been doing for the last five years of my life? I have saved countless people on planets that shouldnt even exist anymore. I have saved planets from exploding, freezing over, and all out wilting."

"Fine wizard, this is your ultimate test, if you can find two wizards to help you on this quest by seven o' clock, i will allow you to procede. Meet back here tonight."

Disgusted I left, flames still around my extremeties.

He thinks i can't do this? I'll show him. I'll show everyone.

I went out to the commons and called on the two people I trusted the most, Adam Winterheart and Suri Deathstone. Adam came first.

"What's up Thundersword?" Asked Adam. "Need some help again?"

He went to punch my shoulder, but I grabbed it and kicked his legs out from underneath of him.

"I'm not playing around, this is serious." I said coldly.

"Fine bro, just help me up." He replied

Suri showed up just as i hefted Adam up.

"Forget how to walk in a straight line again Adam?" taunted Suri.

"Shut up!" Said an embarrassed Adam.

Adam and Suri never really got along very well, but I manage to keep them sane most of the time. Adam has been my best friend since I could remember, we quested together and saved a lot of people. Suri I just recently met in the past year, she isnt quite as strong as me and adam, but she still contributes in fights. The thing with Suri is, I think I love her.

"What did you call us here for?" Adam interupted my thoughts.

"It's Amber" I told them

"What about her, she is a magus right? What kind of trouble could she be in that you need us?" Suri questioned.

"She has been kidnapped." I said flatly.

I told them everything that happened starting with the unwelcomed surprise at my house. After I finished telling the story, they were both in a state of shock.

"But you cleaned up the house right?" Suri broke the silence.

"I beaned up the mouse tight? I don't know what your talking about so lets move on." I said hurridly.

Suri had been staying in the guest room at my house untill the renovations in her house were done. She was getting some major remodelling done to make her house DragonSpyre themed.

"We have to meet at Amrose' place at seven o'clock sharp tonight, so we got time to blow." I said. "Lets just walk around the commons untill we think of something to do that doesn't involve killing ourselves because we're so bored."

We started walking around the commons looking for something to do, when we came up on a group of kids.

V

"Hey guys, look over there! It looks like a fight is about to break out!" Adam exclaimed.

"No sh*t sherlock" Suri remarked.

"Lets check it out." I said.

There were six kids around two other kids in the middle, none of them higher than grandmaster, but it looked like one of the kids in the middle was only a magus.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" The kids around the circle were chanting.

"You got this Justin?" Adam asked.

"Yea." I responded.

I had always had a problem with bullying ever since I met Suri. It was about a year ago when i saw her getting harrassed. I tried to step in and help, but i just ended up with a black eye and a bloody nose. Thats how me and Suri became friends.

"Hey! Whats going on here?" I asked the older kid in the middle, obviously the leader.

"This punk a** kid stole my ring!" He told me

"No I didnt! I swear!" The little kid yelled.

" Alright so a seven on one is the fair way to do it right?" I said

"Stay out of this unless you want some too." The leader said.

"I'll make you a proposition, if you can beat me and my friend Adam here, with all seven of you, you can do whatever you want with him. But if we win, you leave him alone forever."

After a short talk with his possy he agreed, "Deal."

A short while later we met in the arena to set up a match. The leader, whose name we found out to be Jacob, was already there with all of his friends. Since Jacob was too incompetent me and Adam set up the match.

"You guys all ready?" I asked.

"I was born ready." replied Jacob.

We waited in silence for the match to begin. Finally we heard our match get called on the announcement speaker, which wasnt really a speaker, just a voice that magically came from every corner of the room, we just call it the speaker.

"You willbe teleported to the ring in 10... 9... 8... ect."

We got teleported to the arena and the match begun. Adam immedietly cast an ice wall for protection while the opposing team cast petty spells that werent even worth blocking. I summoned a power hole and summoned a fire dragon through it. By casting it through the hole it gave it extra power. It took out one of the opponents almost instantly.

"Already down to six!" I shouted to Adam.

Adam cast a blizzard and took out two more. With four left we decided to have some fun. I ran around the circular dome on the right, and Adam did the same on the left. I cast a smokescreen and the opponents were all running around the middle confused. Jacob cast a fire elf and it hit me. I almost noticed it but i was too busy preparing to cast my ultimate spell, the sun serpent. At the same time Adam was preparing to cast his best spell, Lord of Winter. We timed it perfectly and came out at the same time and aimed our spells at Jacob.

The match ended and we saw a team of medics rush in and take away our opponents, we beat them, to say the least.

We found Suri asleep in a spectators chair and Adam froze her butt to the seat. She woke up with a start and was surpised to find that she couldnt get up.

"Adam!" She yelled.

"Yes?" He said.

"Did you freeze me to my seat?" She asked

"No... it was Justin" He replied sarcastically.

"Adam I swear when i get up i'm going to kill you!" She threatened.

I melted the ice and Suri jumped out and chased Adam half way around the arena before she caught up to him and smacked him so hard he thought he was hit by a train.

Adam fell over a row of seats and hit the floor like a rock.
