Wizard Blood

Chapter 13

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Said Kennedy very worried.

We were in our way to class.

"Huh?" I said. I was not focused at all in the real world, I was still tormented from my last night's dream. "I'm fine..there's nothing wrong. You're just hallucinating."

"Yeah, right," she said. "Just look at you, just listen to you, just... Just tell me what happened."

"I don't think anything has happened yet," I said while coming back to life. "It's...we will talk later okay? I need your guys' help with something. I'll tell you everything during lunch."

I went to my accounting class, while she headed to her government class. I was serious to my word about asking them for help. I needed to fix this puzzle, I needed to figure out what this meant and most important of all I needed to discover who the people talking had been.

To add more to my tragedy, I couldn't focus at all in class. I just heard my professors talk and talk, then in history Ms. Wood asked me something.

"Ms. Ozera, did you hear me?" She said.

"Sorry, ma'am. May you repeat the question, please?" I said while everyone looked at me.

"I didn't ask you anything," she laughed. "We are talking about the beginning of the use of wands in our society. I just told you if you could share your experience at the combat with us, so your classmates can understand more the importance of their use."

"Well, it feels horrible if you don't use your wand to be honest," I said. "But not as bad as being thrown a dark magic spell."

That last part definitely wasn't supposed to come out aloud, or at least not be heard. I thought of it in my head, and I said as a murmured that well... Let's face it, everyone heard it.

All my classmates including my professor were staring at me with looks of confusion and amazement.

"So it is true," said a girl "it was a dark magic spell."

"No, everyone calm down," said Ms. Wood "Alison, was just making a comparison, not an accusation. Right darling?"

My eyes were wide open because of the stupid thing I said, and because of my professor trying to cover reality up.

"Of course, ma'am," I said after a few moments of hesitation.

"Ms. Wood," said Nick. "How did wizards survive before then?"

"Very good question," she began. "Before the thought of using a powerful object to help us out in our magic use, we all relied on amulets and incantations. Our wands help us as an extra source of magical energy, it's also used for extra emphasis in what we do," She took a breathe. "Even if we use extreme exaggerated amounts of magic with a wand it will weaken us. On the bright side, we don't have to memorize all types of spells and always be carrying around amulets with us."

"So, we should think of wands as our little toy that helps us get less tired?" Said Vanessa.

"Don't see it that way," said Ms. Wood. "Think of it as the object that made us more powerful, and almost indestructible. With a wand we won the last war against evil."

"What does that exactly mean?" I said with curiosity.

"What it means is that we won the last magical war with one single wand, the imperial wand," she said. "Once when the Wizard Army was in a battle against dark wizards, two guardians, a woman and a man, were very weak and about to both pass out. The young gentleman saw a branch and enchanted it with his magic, then he gave it to his partner. After a few moments, she recovered a little, and went back to the fighting with the first ever wand created. She didn't know how to use it, nor did she know the power it had. We ended up winning that battle thanks to her after we almost lost it. There was just one more battle after that, in which all the wizards guardians had wands. Obviously, we won. The dark wizards didn't stand a chance against us."
