Kylah Jones was ready. Ready for what, you ask?

Training.

Training for what?

Oh, stop, you know what.

The battle, du-uh!

Okay, okay, you got me. I'm Kylah Jones, third grandchild to Kathy Jones, also, world's only full Water wizard. (Buh-boosh.) I was just naming myself in the third person for effect.

Okay, yeah, that was stupid and dorky. Let me back it up.

▫

I was ready. I grabbed my spellbook with hovercraft out from under my mattress. (Hovercraft is where you make things fly in the air with your fingers.)

Well, I was ready. Ready to crush my twin brother in battle!

Battle is what we do for fun sometimes. The idea is to blast the other wizard with power ups until their battery drains.

Battery - Every wizard 'charges' when they sleep or eat. (Note that they must eat wizard-food to charge, not human food. But a spell can be used to make human food into wizard food.) A wizard's battery drains when they use their powers or when they're struck with powers. Another wizard can take a percentage of the wizard's charge and use their power.

Okay, long definition, but it's in my spellbook.

My twin brother, James, is an Ice. He can freeze water, but if he gets wet, he freezes the water dripping from him. We switched powers by fooling with my grandma's spellbook (it's mine now) when we were little, and he got me wet, and it hurts when the water freezes on you.

It's hard to understand. You mortals just don't get it.

JK! Don't judge, peoples!

Okay, I think we've already established that I'm not exactly cool in school. I have amazing friends that are considered popular, but I've got a dork side that is constantly unwanted-ly showing itself.

I know you have to be yourself, but I'm
NOT a dork. I just act like it sometimes.

Anyway, back to the battle.

"Dude, you're a filthy cheater. You get to use your spellbook!" James shouted as I walked into the field. (I have the power of invisibility, so no one could see us firing magic at each other.)

"Hey, you get to use any magical ability. I'm using this," I replied. "What, afraid you'll lose?"

I had him.

"No!" he yelled. "Okay, fine, use your stupid spellbook. I can win with or without you using it!"

"Cool. Prove it." I smiled evilly and gave myself a double coating of invisibility so he couldn't see me.

"Ha-ha, very funny," he said sarcastically. "Now just stop messing around and- AHH!"

He screamed and karate-kicked in midair as I snuck up behind him, turned visible, and said 'boo'.

I laughed uncontrollably.

"Hey! What's all the hullabaloo?" our older brother, Zac, snapped, walking outside.
