Magic Arms: a Wizard101 Story

The Discovery

It has been 50 long years since Morganthe became the Umbra Queen and conquered the spiral, we are no more than mere puppets to her. She banned magic in the spiral and only she and special people called "Chosen Ones" were allowed to use magic. My father told me and my brother, Aaron, of many stories back when Morganthe didn't rule the spiral, it sounded like a great experience. 

"Luke," my brother said one day, "it's time to do the Umbra ritual." I gagged. Now wasn't the time for me to even think about worshipping that monster but sadly, I have to do the ritual since anyone that didn't do it would be executed. It always confuses me how she knew who did the ritual and who didn't do it.

"I'll be at there in a few minutes, just stall Mother and Father for me, okay?" I replied quickly.

"You know I'm a bad liar Luke, so you should just come to the altar and go back to finishing looking at the old photos," Aaron said. He was right, he's one of the worst liars I've ever known of. I don't know what, but it just seems that he can't find the right terms to make his lies actually make sense. I got up from my worn out matress and followed him down the creaky, worn out stairs, to the altar on the first floor. 

"Hello my sons," Father greeted, "shall we get onto the ritual?" We nodded. "Good my boys, let us do the dance, I will lead the ritual for today." We got in the position for the ritual.

"O! Our great Umbra Queen, Morganthe! We bring recognize your greatness by doing this ritual! O please forgive us for any sins we have committed since we didn't mean to commit them. We promise to remain loyal to you through the end. We promise to always stay by your side no matter what happens. O great all mighty Morganthe, recognize us as great people!" The altar shined a bit, a good enough signal to make sure that we have done our ritual for the day. 

"Dinner will be in 20 boys," my mom reminded us. We nodded to show that we heard her. Aaron turned to me and the strange look on his face signaled that he was confused about what to do next. 

"Want to go try to find something interesting in the basement?" I inquired. He nodded excitedly and ran down the basement. Our basement wasn't really big, considering how there were many things tossed in it. There were cobwebs everywhere, it disgusted me but my brother loved it. One of the bad things about the basement is whenever one of the Chosen Ones decides to cast the Tempest spell for fun, it always gets flooded and most of the things gets washed away or ruined. We both parted are own ways and rummaged through the old boxes seperately.

"Luke, Luke! Come and see what I found!" I quickly rose up and ran towards him. He was staring excitedly at what was in the box, when I decided to take a look, I couldn't believe my eyes. 

"A spell deck?" I uttered in astonishment.

"Two to be exact,," he corrected while taking the other one out. I grabbed it from his hand and looked through the spells consisted in the deck.

"Basilisk, Myth Blade, Myth Trap, Medusa, Humongofrog, Orthrus, Time of Legend, awesome!" I exclaimed, "this seems to be a myth deck, I wonder why Father still has these here, considereing how he can get in trouble for still having them." 

"Whoah, this is amazing! Forest Lord, Satyr, Spinysaur, Leprechaun, Gnomes! This seems like a life wizard's deck, just as Father told us!" I looked over his shoulder, he was right. The cards were dark green and had many heals, just as he said.

"There's a wand, books on magic and a few spellbooks here also," I observed. I took each out carefully, making sure that I didn't damage any one of them, then, I carefully wiped the dust off of them with my robe. 

"Hey, Luke. What if we form a team to try to overthrow Morganthe? I mean-if we learn the magic and find other people with spell decks and become strong and experienced enough." He asked. 

I considered the offer for a while, it seemed pretty ridiculous, Morganthe is crazy strong but if we're able to overthrow her, we'd be heroes since we'd save many people. A smirk slowly formed on my face. "Sure Aaron, let's team up. Together, we will take down Morganthe and her Chosen Ones!"

A huge grin formed on his face. "Yeah!" he exclaimed, "let's take these suckers down!"
