what Happened

Sharpshot

The three barricaded the door. They looked around to see if anything else was in here. Once they deemed it safe, they sat on the couch and let out a few sighs of relief.

"How did you two know that would happen? With the potions, I mean." Amity asked.

"Well, in potions class, Luz and I were made partners for an assignment. We had to see the effects of two potions being combined and... well."

"What happened was the potions we used, when combined, create an... explosive reaction." Luz said before letting out a chuckle.

"The teacher was so mad at us. He made us stay after school to clean up the mess." Boscha said.

"It was because of that accident that we started to bond a little and eventually became friends. So, it wasn't a total loss."

"The teacher still hasn't let that go! I mean, his eyebrows eventually grew back!" Boscha said before grabbing the book out of her bag.

"To be fair, we did almost kill everyone in the room because of that."

"Boscha, how did you get away from that bird?" Amity asked.

"That bird, was an Extinguished Phoenix. It's a phoenix that has been burnt out and can no longer be reborn by fire. When it grabbed me, I had to think fast. I reached in to my bag and threw a potion at it. It let go of me and I ran into the library before it could catch me again. I quickly ran into the lizard and was unable to leave. Every time I tried it would run in front of the exit. I'm almost out of potions because of it."

"Luz, that X-ray glyph, I've seen similar spells but never that impressive. Where did you learn that?" Amity asked.

"Oh, I was getting an X-ray a saw the company logo on the machine. I noticed that it looked like a glyph so I-"

"Wait so you pretty much created a spell?" Amity asked.

"I guess I technically did."

Boscha and Amity looked at each other with wide eyes.

"Luz, you do realize how powerful you need to be to just create your own spell? Even if it's a glyph, you still need to be as powerful as the Owl Lady, or Miss Lilith, or the Emperor."

Luz was about to open her mouth when,

"Hoot! Hoot! Danger!"

A large clawed hand broke through the window and the girls ran to the room that Luz used when she was here.

"Boscha, what is that?"

Boscha flipped through the book, looking for anything that could possibly be. She stopped on a page and looked over it.

"Oh, this is bad!"

"What is it!" Amity and Luz said.

"according to the book, it's a Sharpshot. A fifteen foot tall creature that can shoot poison needles from its claws."

"If we stay here, we'll be killed. We have to sneak away." Amity said.

They managed to sneak out the back and thought they were good. Luz turned around and saw the Sharpshot launch needles at Amity.

"Amity! Behind you!"

Amity turned and saw needles heading towards her. She felt something push her to the ground and saw Luz with a long needle sticking out of her chest.

"Luz!?"

Luz fell to the ground and Amity summoned an Abomination to distract it while her and Boscha got Luz out of there. They picked her up and brought her to a cave.

"What do we do?!" Amity asked.

Boscha looked at Luz trying her hardest to figure out what to do.

"I-I don't know, I'm in the potion track not the healing track! The only one of us that was in the Healing track is Luz!"

Amity got an idea and grabbed Luz's binder.

"Luz doesn't use normal magic; she has to use glyphs. Which means she has to have a healing glyph."

Luz pulled out two glyphs and handed Boscha one.

"An X-ray glyph?" Boscha asked.

"We need to see if the needle hit anything vital. Now place it on her head and activate it."

Boscha did and they see through her skin.

"Good, it just missed... her... heart? Boscha, is... is that what I think it is."

Boscha looked at what Amity was talking about and gasped.

"T-that's impossible." Boscha said.

They pull the needle out and put the healing glyph on her injury. They watch the blue glow take over her as Amity hopes they aren't too late.

"We have to talk to her about this." Amity said.
