"But you're still the better of us though. Hopefully you can impress her on that day, make her think good of you, as opposed to the last time."Lance frowned. "I'll pass" Liam got up. "I am glad then you're alright. You should go get ready for classes today. We are having none other than Mr.Chaney. I think it's going to be a hectic session traveling worlds. You don't want to miss out on the fun."Lance and Liam were early to class and had settled down when Mr. Chaney walked into the classroom. "Hello Level Twos" He greeted, and they students responded with enthusiasm. He dropped his World books on the chair on the podium and went closer to the students. "Now before I continue, I'd like to address an issue" He said, and the class went silent, mostly the ones from FortA, as he was their headmaster. Normally there were cases of broken bunks, burnt beds and destroyed equipments by mischievous which he always addressed and dealt with. So much that if he had developed gray hairs becau
The enormous beast was a dinosaur and it roared so mightily that the ground shook with it. The atmosphere had gone into hysteria, the students screaming and scampering left and right. "Everybody take cover!!!..get behind me everyone" Mr. Chaney shouted, taking out his wand. Lance was a bit dazed at the magnanimity of the the dinosaur. In his world these creatures had just been myths, fiction stories from novels. Never in the world could he have believed they existed and were this huge. It was easy to believe their necks reached the sky. What in the world was the boy thinking to have thought to the world of dinosaurs? Lance made a mental note to ask him, if at all they even survived this. Mr. Chaney was creating Portals upon portals in every direction the beast aimlessly went,--stumping it's mighty foot and rumbling, it's voice like many thunders-- but it proved futile because the archaic beast seemed to know what he was up to and swerved away from each and every portal. Lance
The night had fallen, the students had taken their meals and everyone had retreated to their Forts. Some preparing to sleep, but Lance a good others weren't done for the day. "Then I threw the fireball at it's eye and it was hurt pretty bad. And then I conjured a huge replica dinosaur like it and that seemed to confuse the creature, and that was how I managed to buy time." Lance dramatized to his large audience who were keenly listening. Even students from upper levels, paused what they were doing once in a while to listen in on the valiant heroic story. But Jodge wasn't in on the epic adventure, he caressed the object in his pocket, feeling along it's lines and markings as if he needed to familiarize himself with it, study it, get to know it, as it also studied him, and knew his name. And he waited until everyone had slept when he finally pulled it out. It didn't call to him, but he could hear near inaudible whispers. "Jodddgggeee"It called again. "To behold and become the r
“Let’s get going then” Glenda said. And they all went off towards the rear end of Fort A, where Mr. Chaney's office was located. Lance knocked on the metal door. “Come in” Said a familiar voice from inside. Lance thought it was funny he had associated that voice with dinosaurs and what not. He pushed the door open and they all walked inside. Inside was surprisingly well kept and lushly furnished. Unlike most lecturers offices that were left over to tardiness and dampness. “Good-afternoon Mr. Chaney” Lance said. The man looked up from his oak table filled with books. There were wooden ball-like globes rotating on a pivot stand. A full library of shelved books were to the right of the room. “Well, if it’s not the currently trending student.. and to what do I owe the pleasure?” “We wanted to take permission to go into Fort B valley”“And for? Another Jurassic adventure I presume?”“Nothing of the sort, Sir” He replied. We just wanted to practise the Nummix potion we were
“Why don’t we do this with fists Jodge , man to man instead of burning this whole place down. We are already in trouble as is…what do you say?”Jodge snuffed out his fire. Lance ran after him before he had the chance to respond , screaming before he crashed into him. ********”The professor has to be informed of this” Mr. Chaney fumed. “What was I even thinking, to let you guys wander there in false pretence of practising a potion that went hand in hand with fire spells. I let you deceive me. So much for being the viral topic within the school walls. I should have known you were up to no good.”“We are deeply sorry Sir, we regret our actions”“Indeed you do” Mr. Chaney prowled about his office.”Don’t even start that with me…you also lied about being selected as a fire prefect didn’t you?”No sir, I really was chosen. This was all a mistake and we’re sorry. We will willingly accept any punishments you give us”“Well you are unfortunate there, because I’m not the one to determine
"Strange? How.. sir?" He stuttered, anxiously. "I talked to your buddy last time, and he says he doesn't know anything about what's going on... neither had he seen any strange occurence" Professor Trevor closed the scroll he was writing on and tapped his steel pen lightly on a finger. "You see I believe there has been an incident as a result of the time continuum changing, that I'm not aware of... because something doesn't fit the equation. Something that ought to explain the current occurrences. "Lance's heart began it's rapid thudding again. His mouth had gone dry. "What...what doesn't fit the equation Sir? What has been happening?" Professor Trevor stared at him, his face grim but gentle and soft. His face was only hard due to age and the burden he had carried for years as head of institution. "It's nothing.. you should get back to your Fort." "But..but I'd like to know Sir...I'd like to know what's going on pls?" Lance said, wondering where exactly his boldness was coming from
"Have you all got your wands?" Miss. Janis asked from the podium."Yes Miss. Janis" Glenda answered for everyone as the Level rep. Miss. Janis came down from the podium. She took some of the hair that had come to her face back behind her ears. "Any one with an idea where we are to go to?" "Back to the time of the Great Battle " Jodge said from where he clustered with some other students. He wasn't staying with Lance and the rest as he was suspended from their group for the meantime. There were murmurs among the students when he said that, as some strongly critized the idea while a few guys beside him were intrigued and excited at the probable concept of danger. "No. We are not going there. I won't be exposing you guys to danger of any sort... One thing you should be aware of is that whatever happens wherever we go will affect you in real time. So even though we'll be going to a relatively harmless event I need you guys to keep your guards up and stay away from trouble, even thoug
“Wow..Lance I didn’t expect--” She looked considerably shocked as she took the flower from him“It’s nothing much…you said they were beautiful” He lied. “So I decided to surprise you with it”Liam turned and saw what was going on. “Well, well, what’s going on here…why don’t I get a flower of my own Lance?”“Oh shut up Liam and keep moving” Glenda shoved him.” You are stalling those at the back.”Some of those who were arriving were dressed in the creamy white the Wiccan normally wore.And Miss. Janis explained them. “These were the staff of Wiccan back in the days, our Fort masters, professors, and lecturers back then”“Where are they now?” Lance asked for the first time since the spell lessons had begun. “Some of them are definitely still around, but most the others that attended went on to chase personal goals in the castle. Mind you, you might come across someone you will recognize, don’t panic or anything. Just explain you are using the time spell and the fellow will grab. The s
