The plotA Chapter by ."Ok! You win!" he said leaving the book he was reading on the table.It
was a cold, snowy beginning of November and somewhere in the darkest streets of
Andorra la Vella where it snowed more than usual, a woman with hair as black as
night and eyes green like sea-weed was about to walk in a whole mess of danger
. She walked faster than she had ever imagined, through an old cobbled street,
until she reached her destination. It was and ancient looking
café with broken glass windows and squeaky doors. The strange woman entered,
she could see man watching football, girls talking about there day and even
boys playing darts. It looked quiet normal to her. She passed the crowd of
people and went into a supply room. She opened a cupboard which was on her
right and pressed down a nail which wasn’t properly put in at the back. A few
moments later a door appeared in front of her, without knocking she went in.
The room appeared to be an office; there was a coffee machine on top of a pile
of papers, an awkward looking wardrobe and at the other end of the room a table
with folders, packages and all sorts of things spread on top of it. There was a
complete silence until a man sitting near the table spoke. "Mission
accomplished?" he asked "Yes,
sir" answered the woman in a frightened tone. "Sit
down, Cordelia" he commanded pointing his finger to a seat in front of him.
Cordelia (as was her name) hurried through the room, pulled the chair and sat
on it. "Where
exactly was it?" questioned the strange man in a very important way. "I
don’t really know, Ralph" confessed Cordelia regretting having said his name. He
stared at her for a while and then spoke. "Please,
do tell me what happened" he told her. "Well" she started "I was walking down one of the palace’s corridors and I heard about
a meeting with a crystal ball …" "It’s
name?" interrupted Ralph "Lilias,
sir" she answered and then went on. "So I decided to go down to the potions
chamber and find out what was going on. Once I got there I hid behind a
wardrobe and whilst I was listening to their conversation I accidentally pushed
a block behind me. For a moment there was nothing, but after a few minutes
there was a glowing light and as I reached for it the glowing augmented and
there was the “thing” you wanted." As
she had said the last words she pulled out a wand, it was glowing more than a
firefly at night and it wasn’t made of wood or animal core it was made of
crystal and diamond (according to books it would be the legendary unbreakable
wand for the diamond was harder than any other and the crystal was the
strongest ever found). Ralph
stared in amazement and took the wand. "Finally,
our time has come" he declared. "Not
that I want to interrupt" she said but what exactly are you going to do with it. "A
great question he talked most people would want to use it to do what they most
wanted, but I plan on breaking the wand and pass all its powers to me." "But
the wand is unbreakable, sir" she pointed out "Yes,
but not all spells are weak are they" added Ralph. Meanwhile in Magyk "Quickly,
James I want to see what mom and dad are up to!" shouted Miranda, the Empress’s
youngest daughter, you are probably asking why Miranda talks more than she is supposed to know, well when she was born she fell into a potion called 'Language Reminder' which made her speak before she was supposed to. "Just
because you want to go doesn’t mean I have to" he complained. "Oh
really, well than I guess I’ll have to tell them you let Pegasus and Thunder out
and didn’t even try and find them!" she added "Ok!
You win!" he said leaving the book he was reading on the table. They
went out of there sitting room, descended the steps, turned right, then left,
went down with the lift (to -5), got out
and at that moment they bumped into one of the palace maids. "Where
do you two think you’re going?" she asked Miranda
looked at James as to say don’t you even think of telling her. And he instead
returned a look of I can’t lie. The
maid was growing impatient but luckily the cook had just shouted her name and
told her to come with her. After
a while Miranda and James came to their destination. Before James or Miranda
could even knock on the door a voice shouted “Come in!” James
opened the door and went in followed by his sister. "Ah,
Mira and James, sit down before you two start making chaos" pointed out their
father. The
room was quiet dark and scary for the first ones who see it. "What’s
that?" asked Mira (as everyone called her) pointing to a crystal ball on top of
what looked like a scarlet table. "That,
my dear, is Lilias, the worst magic crystal ball I’ve seen" said her mom coming
out of one of the dark corners of the room. "Hey,
I heard that!" complained the crystal. "I
think you were supposed to" confirmed James whilst reading the book. "Wow,
I never dreamed you’d say that" added Mira. James
smiled lightly at this, but Lilias groaned loudly. "Why
do you read books? You’re only 3, James" asked Natasha (their mom) "And
double wow!" said Mira shockingly. "I
think you know who is going to be the smartest" added Lilias looking at their
parents. "Hey,
that offends people you know" boasted out Mira. "Yeah,
know you know how I feel" he told her. James
proud of hearing this had just stood up. "Now
if you don’t mind I didn’t want to be here in the first place" he told them and
walked out the door. "Well,
even better one less started the annoying crystal but still 3 to go…" "Right,
now we have questions" interrupted Fabian (their father) "This
has to be good, I was in the middle of watching “Sea Cucumbers”" complained
Lilias. "Do
those series even exist?" asked Mira. "It’s
a movie" said Lilias. "Who
cares?" she quickly added. "Let’s
skip to the point" ordered Natasha. "I’d
prefer to stay at the point but if we have to do this" said Fabian willingly. "Everyone
says that" complained Lilias. Without
listening they went on. "Future!" commanded Natasha. "Always
the same question" he complained for the 100th time that day. "Ok,
here it goes." While he said that he (it) started glowing and started: "Sometime
at the begging of this month the Queen will have triplets 2 girls and 1 boy (of
course everyone knew that Natasha was pregnant). One of these shall be the next
rising star. For today the sacred mark shall rise and it will be stronger than
ever for they have the unbreakable wand…" the crystal stopped glowing and the
prophecy had finished. Lilias
who never remembered anything he said when he predicted a prophecy asked "You
all look like you’ve seen a Striker." Mira
looked at her parents in horror and confusion for she was aware of the prophecy
and at the same time didn’t understand half the thing Lilias had said. "Right,
I let you think how your life’s will end while I’ll… go do things a 2 and a
half year old girl would do" she spoke. *** Lilias
was right for the Empress had triplets 1 boy whom she named Harry and 2 girls
whom she named Tory and Angela. Fabian and Natasha were extremely happy but
there was one thing they couldn’t keep of their mind: the crystal had never
said which one of them would be the next rising star. © 2012 .Author's Note
