The Cosmic Adventures of Digi-World

Chapter 9-How to born a dragon

Magi the Great seated himself at his usual table at his regular hang-out spot.   "Well hello there Magi, how are you?" asked Jawn to his good friend.  "I am good Jawn, let me have a tall glass of the Wizzard Blizzard today, I could use the extra jolt. 

"One Wizzard Blizzard coming up!"  Jawn went to work whipping up the concoction.  As he stirred it up, he swirled his hand over it saying his magic phrase, "a bolt, a jolt, as the Wizzard turns...a churn, a turn, a Blizzard on the rise."

The glass began bubbling from enchantment, and frothing to the brim charged with jolts of energy.  Jawn called over the counter to his daughter who worked for him part-time, " Dakota, deliver this order over to Magi at table #2 please."

"Sure, thing!  Oh, and I've got the front swept and mopped already.  The windows and the bathrooms too, anything else before I go?"

Jawn replied, "Run to the back in dry stock and bring up a case of napkins, and then you are free to go sweety."

"Sounds good to me.  Hello Magi, are you going to come see Reese and I perform in the high school play in two weeks?  It's the last high school play we will perform in before we graduate." said Dakota.

Mage answers, "I sure am!   You and my son are, are both in it, you bet I'll be there.  Mage took a big chug from his glass, "Reese is at the shop measuring and preparing the new ingredients now, it will be ready about the middle of next week.  I am calling it the Witches Totty."

"Sounds interesting.  Oh, and Reese is supposed to be over at our house for dinner and homework if that is ok with you Magi.  "That's fine by me, you two are nearly inseparable anyways."   Dakota waved farewell to Magi and made her way to retrieve the napkins. 

Jawn sat down at the table with Magi and asked, "So, has your son shown any signs of any magical tendencies lately?"

"No, nothing yet.  He is doing a great job being my assistant in the beverage and potion making business though.   Reese has got everything set up for me now.  How about Dakota?  Has she had any magical breakthroughs?"

"Negative, maybe the magic skipped their generation, it's very possible.  But at any rate, those drinks are going to really be hit and new twist at the celebration coming up at The Hang Out Spot here. My wife is really going to jazz this place up for our one-year mark from when we opened up the doors, it's going to be great!"

Magi finished his Wizzard Blizzard and got up from the table.  "Time for me to head back Jawn."  Jawn cleared the table and waved as Magi went out the door.

Dakota went to the middle shelf on the left to retrieve the napkins when a strange magical encounter took place.  A small wooden chest came literally floating out of nowhere and landed on the shelf close by.  She should tell her dad about this magical box appearing, but she wanted to keep it a secret from her parents for the moment.

Dakota places the ancient wood chest inside a small empty box and exits out to the back entrance to the parking area where her pink Volkswagen is parked.  She made sure the back door to her dad's shop was propped open so she could get back in. 

She opened the passenger side door and put the box in the seat.  She shut the door and hurriedly ran back in through the back entrance.  Dakota then grabbed the case of napkins and took them up front and placed them behind the counter on the lower shelf.

"Dad this is your last case of napkins, don't forget to order some more."

"Okay sweety, I will l be sure to put it on my list.  Your mom is down the street at your Aunt Majesstik's meta-physical mystic shop if you want to drop in there to say hi."
