I watched as the raft slowly drifted away from the island shore. Our raft was finally finished, and we are now off to Thorun. Taylor and I stared in awe as the sun rose from the ocean floor in such an elegant manner. I try to concentrate on finding our way home, but all I can think about is the magic we have gained. I know we aren't supposed to use much, for there is a "price" to pay, but having magical powers? That is kind of EPIC! It seems like it's getting harder and harder to resist using magic.
I feel a warmth creeping up my back. I'm sure it's the sun rising. But there was something unusual about this heat. It seems.... magical. All if a sudden, it burns me! I whip my head around to see Kolby exhaling fire from his mouth!
"Kolby!" I whisper, trying not to wake up everyone else, "Are you breathing fire?!" He looks up and nods with a grin on his face. My jaw drops. HOLY CRAP! I notice Liam waking up. I immediately tip toe towards him and and whisper,
"You need to see this!" I point over at Kolby. Liam shifts his gaze and waits as Kolby prepares to make a bug flame. He inhales, then exhales, sending a huge flame up into the sky.
"Guys, WAKE UP!" Liam yells. Everyone opens their eyes with grimaces on their face. They must not be morning people! Liam points at Kolby and says,
"Watch. This."
Kolby stands up, points his head at the clouds, and sends a flame up ten meters high! We all watch the fire glow in the morning light. Wow, is all we can think.
