Professor Trevor stood at the center of the stage, surrounded by students and staff of the mages' academy. The audience was silent as they awaited the arrival of Lance, the young mage who had accomplished the impossible.Finally, Lance was led out into the open area, stepping up to join Professor Trevor on the stage. The crowd erupted into applause as Professor Trevor welcomed him with a warm smile and a firm handshake."Lance, my boy," said Professor Trevor, "I cannot express how proud I am of you today. You have accomplished what no one else has ever been able to do. You have even summoned the Phoenix Oracle."The audience gasped in amazement, and Professor Trevor turned to face them. As you all know, the Phoenix Oracle has not been seen in centuries, and many believed it to be a myth," he continued. "But Lance here has proven us all wrong."Lance blushed, looking down at his feet, clearly overwhelmed by the attention. Professor Trevor placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a re

Glenda and Lance stood staring at each other, their lips still tingling from the unexpected kiss they had just shared. Glenda's eyes darted around the corner as she tried to make sense of what had just happened. She had never felt this way before and it was all so confusing.Lance stood there, a bemused expression on his face, watching as Glenda backed away from him. He could tell that she was feeling guilty and he was trying to figure out why.Glenda looked at Lance, her eyes searching his face. She finally found the words she was looking for and asked, "Lance, what about Mara? Don't you have any feelings for her?"Lance's eyes softened and he gave a small smile. He reached out and gently ruffled Glenda's hair, trying to soothe her out of her jealousy. "No, Glenda. Mara is just a friend. I care about her, but not in the way you're thinking."Glenda let out a sigh of relief and her shoulders relaxed. She couldn't help but feel a little silly for being so jealous. "I'm sorry, Lance. I d

Lance, Glenda, Liam, Mara, and Frank stepped out of their classrooms, the relief from finally finishing their exams written all over their faces. They had all been working so hard, and they were grateful to finally be done. They talked and laughed as they walked down the hall, and their spirits lifted.Just as they were about to exit the building, they were approached by Allan and Donald. They both looked serious and a little bit worried."Lance, we need to talk to you," said Allan.Lance turned to face them, a feeling of apprehension growing in the pit of his stomach. "What's going on?""It's about Jodge," said Donald. "We have good news. We've been investigating and we have proof that Jodge didn't take the blue wand and he is truly free from the demon's hold."Lance's heart lifted with relief. He had been so worried about Jodge and the hold that the wand had over him. "Are you sure?" he asked, his voice filled with hope."Yes," said Allan. "We have irrefutable evidence that Jodge is

Mr. Elias strode forward, his wand in hand and a scowl on his face. Lance stood his ground, shielding Sarah behind him with one arm, as he gazed at Mr. Elias in confusion. The class was silent, everyone straining to catch a glimpse of what was about to unfold.Mr. Elias casted an ugly look at Sarah, who stood with her head hung low, showing the first signs of guilt. She knew what she had done was wrong, and the weight of her actions was starting to take its toll."Lance," Mr. Elias said, his voice stern. "Step aside."Lance hesitated for a moment, looking down at Sarah. He didn't know why but he had this sudden urge to protect her. He saw her look up at him, tears streaming down her face as she struggled to keep her emotions in check."It's okay," she whispered. "Mr. Elias wouldn't hurt me". She rubbed his hands gently. Lance stepped back, giving her a cautious look as he couldn't take in what was happening before him. Mr. Elias quickly muttered the reverse spell for the love portio

The next day, Lance sat in his seat, his eyes fixed on Glenda as she entered the room with Mara. He noticed the way she avoided him, making her way to the far corner of the room, instead of taking her usual seat beside him. Mara cast a quick apologetic look at the guys before rushing after Glenda.Lance felt a sharp pain in his chest as he watched the two girls sit down. Liam and Frank exchanged worried looks, as they could sense the tension in the room. Some of the students took in what was happening, their eyes flicking between Glenda and Lance. The entire class knew that they were in a relationship, and those who didn't know were well aware of the situation after the love potion incident."What's going on with those two?" Frank whispered to Liam.Lance let out a sigh and shrugged, "I don't know. We fought yesterday, after the love potion incident with Sarah. Glenda is upset that I shielded Sarah away from her.""You need to make things right, man," Liam said. "Glenda is crazy about
