He Man Cosmic

Chapter 3 Damien Comes Home

Orko was busy working in his magic room. He had a room just to do his magic stuff in. He knew his magic was messy business. Much like how the science could be messy business for anyone who does it. Orko at the moment was making a potion. "Okay one drop of a dragoons scale," Orko said reading the book and adding. "Two spoonfuls of the sweat of tivint," he read carefully as he added it carefully. "Heat up very slowly over very low heat as the rest of the ingredients are added," he read and turned the heat on his burner very low and started to heat it up. "Okay what is added next." he said looking at the book.

Then Damien came into the room. "Hey Orko," Damien said.

"Damien please don't come in here without knocking or being invited please," Orko said. "You know I don't like it when you or Andra don't do that," he said.

"Hey what are you doing?" Damien asked.

"Pinch of castapillar fluff," Orko read from the book adding it to the bottle. "Then add a sprinkle of purple sea salt," he said and added it.

"Are you doing chemistry?" Damien asked watching him. "You know it might work better if you turned up the heat," he said and proceed to turn the heat up higher of the burner under the potion.

"Damien stop!" Orko said. Then the potion boiled rapidly and then exploded.

Adam and Man at arms noticed the explosion and came running. Orko sat up in his magic room and Damien looked rather sheepish. the remnants of the potion was all over the table top. It had big wet purple spots and pieces of glass.

"WAND FIZZLE! DAMIEN!" Orko snapped. "My potion it's ruined!" he said.

"What happened in here?" Man at arms asked coming in.

"Damien happen!" Orko snapped. "I was making a potion for cleaning the furniture in my room and Damien came in here uninvited as I was doing it and proceed to turn the heat up on the burner," he said.

"I was helping," Damien said.

"I didn't ask for your help, the book said it needed to be heated up very slowly over very low heat, which is what I had it set on," Orko said. "You know this isn't the first time Damien has messed up one of potions?" he asked.

"It isn't?" Man at arms asked.

"Yes just last week I was making a shampoo potion for myself because I ran out, and Damien messed that up by knocking too much of one ingredient into it making a huge mess of suds I had to clean up," Orko said. "Another time he made another potion turn into nothing but fizz, and other one he knocked completely of the table," he said. "he does this every time, he thinks I am doing chemistry but I am trying to tell him I am making potions and there is slight similarity between chemistry and potion making but they are both very different!" he said. "Now I got clean up a potion spill which can be dangerous," he said.

"Damien I think you and I need to have a word," Man at arms said.

"I think I'm in trouble," Damien said.

Damien followed Man at arms to his lab. "Damien you know that Orko doesn't like it when you go into his magic room uninvited," Man at arms said.

"I know," Damien said.

"You made a mess of his potion several times and today was just latest of it happening," Man at arms said.

"I was only trying to help," Damien said.

"True but Orko didn't ask for your help," Man at arms said. "Orko was busy and you were bothering him," he said. "You caused his potion to explode," he said. "You messed up several magic things Orko was working on and I think you should think for a while about how you would feel if you were Orko," he said. "Go to your room right now and think about what you've done and how to show Orko a little more respect," he said.
