The Magical Elements: Wizard City (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter Fifteen: The Sand Witch Part III

Angela, Troy, Hiro, Barry and Lily have been to their share of creepy places, but this castle takes the cake and all of the candles. It wasn't haunted house creepy, but it was evil twisted witch creepy. Despite the creepiness however, there was also a lot of cool magical items that they found while looking for the dragon or Jesse (whichever comes first). The found a room that was full of different ingredients for magical items and experiments, about a billion different kinds of spell books and a round map table of the worlds both magical and non magical and it was rotatable. In the room, they decided to look in the books for a bit of information about the dragon, but so far no avail.

"C'mon!" Complained Barry as he searched through the books, "how do you fight a black dragon without getting burned alive or eaten alive?! I thought books were suppose to be helpful!"

"Quit complaining and keep looking!" Sighed Lily, "this witch has to have something about the dragon!"

"Other than the fact that it's not a vegetarian," joked Troy.

Barry, Lily and Troy laughed but Angela and Hiro scowled at them. They stopped laughing.

"Sorry forgot," said Troy.

Hiro continued to scowl at him.

"Troy, I am not in the mood today," he growled.

Troy cringed. "Ok dude chill," said Troy, "I was only joking."

Hiro smiled sinisterly. "I'll remember that the next time I have takeout at 'Wong's Sushi'," he said.

Troy backed away slowly to the other side of the room. "Dude you are evil," he said.

"And don't you forget it," joked Hiro.

Barry closed a book angrily.

"Ok, Angela, this is a complete waste of time!" He argued, "By the time we find something about the dragon, Jesse and the others might already be eaten alive."

"I thought this would be a good idea!" Angela argued back, "and if this witch had anything on dragons, it would have been a good idea."

"Check this out guys," said Hiro.

The gang looked at an old looking painting that had some abstract form to it. It was hard to describe except for the fact that the painting was as white as marble. Hiro kept turning his head to the right and left to decipher the painting.

"Hey painting, make more sense!" He ordered, "Hey, it worked!"

"What do you see?" Asked Lily.

Hiro squinted his eyes. "It looks like a fire breathing dragon," he said.

Barry turned his head in the same position as Troy's.

"Wait a minute," said Barry, "the painting is not abstract, it's upside down!"

Troy touched the painting. "And it's not even a painting," said Troy, "it's some kind of marble carving."

Troy grabbed a pat of the carving, unintentionally taking a piece of the carving in the process.

"Um.....," he said in shock before handing the piece to Lily, "she did it!"

Lily handed the piece back furiously.

"Dude, what are you, five years old?" She said.

Troy laughed. "Sorry, couldn't help it," he said, "but it looks like no ordinary marble carving. I think maybe it's some kind of puzzle. Maybe I can solve it."

After a few minutes of taking apart pieces and rearranging them, Troy revealed the "completed" carving. The carving however was incomplete. The pieces were scattered in random areas of the carving. It was hard for them to tell what it was or what it used to be.
