The man moved with the grace of a predator, his steps cautious and deliberate. He tiptoed across the cobblestone floor, his boots barely making a sound as he made his way to the dungeon. His eyes darted around, scanning the area for any signs of danger, his hand always at the ready to draw his sword if needed.

As Prof. Craig approached the dungeon gates, his expression was tense and urgent, his eyes scanning the guards for any signs of trouble. When the guards recognized him, they quickly unlocked the gates, allowing him to pass through without delay.

Once inside, Prof. Craig wasted no time in making his way to Lance's cell. His fingers fumbled nervously in his robes as he searched for the keys to unlock the door. But just as he was about to call out Lance's name and free him, he was met with an unbelievable sight. His eyes widened in shock as he took in the scene before him.

    Lance stared with a gaping mouth at the vanished wall, his heart racing with anxiety and excitement. As Lance stood there in the silent room, he was torn. On one hand, he was desperate to leave the dungeon and return to the safety of his dorm room, to go back to classes, to meet Glenda, and spend time together with her and his friends, play games, and listen to their taunts. On the other hand, he was greatly disturbed, considering if he was to be found roaming around and free, more allegations would be levelled on him. As he debated his next move, he heard the sound of keys jingling. His heart leaped into his throat, and he spun around to face the entrance of the room. It was then that he saw Prof. Craig standing there, his expression one of shock and horror.For a moment, neither of them spoke.

    Biden sat on his throne, the evening light streaming through the windows and casting a warm glow across the room. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew in, causing his black robes to billow out behind him like dark wings.As Mr. Einstein approached him, Biden's eyes narrowed and his lips twisted into an evil grin. "Tell me, my loyal servant," he said in a low, menacing voice. "What havoc have you wrought at Wiccan Academy?"Mr. Einstein bowed deeply. "My lord," he said, "I have successfully placed Professor Blackwood under my spell. He stands motionless at this very moment, awaiting your command."Biden's grin widened as he looked over at Professor Blackwood, who stood frozen in place with a vacant expression on his face.Biden let out a loud, malicious cackle. "Excellent work, Mr. Einstein," he said, his eyes flickering from his servant to the frozen professor. "And what of Professor Trevor?"Mr. Einstein hesitated before speaking. "I'm afraid he is in critical condition, my lord. The

Mr. Einstein's muttering grew more urgent, his words barely audible over the roaring of the portal as it grew wider and wider. Suddenly, with a surge of magical energy, the portal burst open, revealing a swirling vortex of purple light."By the powers of the ancients, I call upon the strength of the elements to close this portal!" shouted Prof. Blackwood, his wand held aloft. With a fierce determination, he unleashed a powerful spell that crackled through the air, striking the portal head-on. The swirling vortex shuddered and faltered as if struggling against the force of Prof. Blackwood's magic.As the portal began to close, Prof. Blackwood gritted his teeth and muttered another incantation, pouring every last ounce of his strength into the spell. With a final burst of light, the portal snapped shut, va

    The figure cackled once more, its faceless figure almost shaking along with its laughter. Prof. Blackwood who had successfully leaned on the wall and huffed for air slowly began to let his hand wander toward his wand which was a bit far from his reach, almost beneath his bed.The cackling continued, echoing ominously around the room.

He knew that he was facing something beyond his comprehension, something that could not be defeated by simple spells and incantations.But then, something shifted in the figure's demeanor. The cackling stopped and the faceless head turned to regard Prof. Blackwood with a curious expression.

The air in the room smelled of strong herbal concoctions, creating a dense mist effect that engulfed everything within the room. The shelves were lined up against the walls from floor to ceiling, filled with clear bottles of colors that had labels with handwritten inscript

    The masked male healer had walked out of the room in a hurry, a sense of urgency in his steps."Stupid... Stupid... Stupid". He muttered to himself as he walked in hasty steps. As he diverted to another corridor, he heard the sound of little footsteps following him. He stopped abruptly and hid beside a door, waiting to see who was following him.Seconds ticked by as he waited and then the footsteps stopped and then began to retreat. The male healer could feel a sense of relief wash over him as he let out a deep breath. But as he turned to leave, a glint of evil flashed in his eyes. He tore off the mask on his face, revealing his scarred visage, and rubbed his eye, the patchy and rough surface feeling uncomfortable."Foolish child, trying to follow me," he muttered to himself.
