The Land of the Future 1: The Holy Wand

Chapter 6: The Grave

"Where are we?" asked Dave.

"I don't know, I'm very homesick," said John.

"Come on, it's fun,"

"Yeh,"

"Let's look at the map, we are above the Kingdom of Magic,"

"Cool, I hope this place is even more magical,"

"I'm sure it is,"

Dave and John landed on the flat grass, and the magic carpet shrunk again.

Dave walked over, he looked at the floor, it said, " Here is the grave for all that have been killed by the bomb dropped down by the Dark Side, after Artemis Cypher Miller took the Holy Wand."

"Well, 978 died that day, it must have been a terrible loss for the country," said John.

Dave gasped, next to the grave was the bomb, it was quite small compared to what he imagined.

On the bomb was a note, it said, "I am Artemis Cypher Miller, I have escaped through the cottage portal of the light side just before the bomb was dropped. I have returned today to show that I still live. I realised that the Holy wand is rigged and does not have special powers, so I buried it somewhere in the outside world. I don't know if it's because I'm not the true owner of the wand. Hope someone sees this, I'm going back to the outside world."

John said, "Then we've uncovered the answer to why the wand ended up at Matterhorn, it had been put there by Artemis."

"I wonder where he's gone now, very abnormal," said Dave.

"We have to find out who has the wand now and what is the dark side's portal to go to Earth," said John.

"I think we should look around the grave," said Dave.

They looked around, there were names like Crago White, Born Toby and more, but what was interesting was that John saw the name "Artemis Miller".

"They probably thought that Artemis was also dead, even though his body wasn't found," said John.

"Yeh, but he's not," said Dave, "At least according to the note."

"Are you sure it's not a fake or something," said John.

"It's not, or else the glass orb would turn orange," said Dave.

"Yeh, I think we should go to that flat field there," said John, pointing to a small field, "For the night."

John sat on the floor of the tent Dave conjured, it was midnight.

Suddenly, the tent started to shake, and Dave and John jumped up.

Dave held up his wand and shouted, "Come in, I'm armed."

The tent door blasted open, and there stood a big fat troll, holding a hammer.

The troll swiped his hammer at Dave, he dodged and threw a stone at it.

The troll didn't sense anything and walked towards Dave.

Dave shot a few spells at the troll, but the troll was too massive to be harmed by the spells.

John was terrified, he tried to kill the troll, but it was impossible.

John only had one more choice, he and Dave jumped on the carpet and escaped.

The troll tried to chase them, but soon he lost them.

Dave cried in the howling wind, "Next stop, the kingdom of witches, we will enter the dark side."
