In a galaxy far far away……

AWAY FROM HERE:
The college building was always a heart ache to him, but he had no option than to always walk into it. His name is MUZ-just twenty-one-he was dressed in a casual shirt and jean and was blessed with long black hair. He had been told that his future, the one to which he saw himself as a Nuclear scientist, was only possible if he went through these doors until he was ready for his one year verdict-erium (a year of decision).
This day, a normal day in his life, was the last day he was ever going to go in and come out of the college doors, as it both brought sad memories that made him wish he wasn’t leaving--
“What’s with you?”
A punk-girl-nineteen-years old, walks up to Muz, and holds him on his shoulders as she manages to catch a glimpse of his eyes
“You’ve been acting weird all morning, blanking out on me”
“Sorry about that Felisha--"
FELISHA HEDWAY, his best friend for over ten years, loud mouthed-but one of the smartest people you could ever meet. She had always dreamt of becoming a mechanical engineer, but was forced to follow her father’s footsteps and become a computer engineer
“I always felt you’ll be glad to leave this dump?” Felisha continued
“I am glad that today is my last day here, but I’m beginning to have second thoughts about my future. My mother told me today that, I should always find my happiness in the dept of any darkness”
“That doesn’t sound like a career advice to me”
“It’s just that, every time my mum gives me an advice--"
“—something strange happens. Like the time--"
“I don’t think I would like to reminisce on such time Felish”
“You are no longer fun Muz-I mean it. When was the last time you got into a fight?”
“You mean got beaten up?”
“You see my point? You are no longer positive. But on a brighter note--"
“I think you should stick to your PDA honey”
Muz said with a smile as he turned to see who everyone called his boss, Frankie Supsi, school sky ball champ and arch enemy of Muz. Frankie usually walked with a bunch, and while some didn’t like what he did, walking with him seemed like the only means for them to get popular.
“Frankie, I think you should cut Muz a little slack here-it’s after all his last day” a lanky member of his gang said
“Shut up Muckie, I would squash the long-haired-girly-boy in every way I can, cause I would never get such a chance again”
“Hey!”-Felish butted in-“You are lucky Muz isn’t in a fighting mood, or you’ll have been dead by now”
“Felisha, you are not helping as usual---"

Hours later, Muz and Felisha are on their way home. It could be told from Muz’s face that he was beaten by Frankie for a long time, but as they walked, his face kept getting better and better, until it was all healed.
“That’s why they keep doing it. you know? They think you are some kind of super hero”
“That’s charming and thanks for the back up”
“Come on Muz, am a girl in case you failed to remember and I am just smart. Not the kind you’ll like to take for your round the world adventure”
Muz didn’t have any reply, so he just shrugged
“Besides Muz, I wouldn’t want to soil the next biggest rock artist now would I?”
“Have you decided?” Muz tries to change the topic, being that he hated recalling he was what he was.
“Changing the topic again I see. Does your mother know you don’t like the fact that you are a--"
“Felish, please”
“Hey! I’m home. I’ll talk to you later and then maybe you could try to convince me that you are better of a nuclear scientist than a--"
The next instance Felisha was in her room, she looked shocked for a while, then rolling her head and screaming like she was angry with something, she picks up her phone and dials a number…
Muz Phone rings and he looks at it-seeing Felisha on the screen, he puts it back into his pocket and walks slowly with his hands in his pocket, like he was thinking about a lot of things.

HOME:
“It’s not possible. MOTHER!!!!!”
Muz stands on what looks like the ashes of a place that had been burnt to the ground, with different colours of smoke leaving the ground in different areas, and the cloud getting clear again. Muz falls to his knees, looking around, confused to death, as his eyes told the tales of a thousand lost questions. Struggling, he manages to get up and run towards where it seems he once lived, as the ground littered with dead people made it almost impossible for him to walk without falling. When he finally got to where he felt his home was, he dropped his bag and fell to the ground crying bitterly. The next moment, he heard something moving, turning around he hoped it was someone he knew, but he only saw an old man hooded and dressed as a wizard, walking towards Muz, and what seemed liked the remains of Muz’s home.
“Are you a CRESDIA clan member son?”
“Wha-wha-" Muz couldn’t hold back his tears, as some of the ashes had already made half of his face completely black
“You must have managed to not been home. My name is Eldrascu-FRECSUM, elder and leader of the Ifil Clan”
“The Ifils? Why didn’t they help us?”
“My child, no one can help you when LEDGE comes after you”
“Le-Ledge?”
“You don’t know Ledge? I guess your clan where trying hard to suppress their witchcraft and live a normal life of humans, so you would hardly know them”
“I want to find them, I want to know why?”
“Ledge is a dangerous group bent on finding and using the book SPELLS to bring about the end of the world”
“Spells is a myth”
Muz said in anger as he stubbornly got up-turning and swinging his hands, as the remaining rubble flew away leaving a trunk on the ground, with the name MERZO DUNZKA written boldly on it
“I know you are hurting son, but this isn’t a journey you can go about on your own, you’ll need guidance and training, especially recalling that you can’t use a true attack spell”
“My clan was annihilated for a simple book? I must find out the true reason behind this”
“Child, apart from the book, your clan held the staff of Dren, which was the key to a portal between this world and the demon world. Ledge must have wanted the staff for that purpose, to possibly slow any resistance down”
“I need to go after them! I want to know where they left my parents body!! Where can I find them?!”
“Be calm son--"
“WHERE CAN I FIND THEM!!!!”
Frescum says something Muz couldn’t understand as he immediately found himself souring through the air and landing hard on his back, in the middle of the central shrine, which was the only place that wasn’t scratched during the massacre
“I didn’t think that Ledge would have respect for such a place”
“Why did you do that old man!!”
“Be a little more respectable and humble, and you could go a long way into becoming a fine wizard son”
Frescum said walking, he picked an-old-bag, waving his staff around it, as it immediately turned into a black bag pack and holding it, he sat on the Eldrascu-of-the-Cresdia’s sit
“Son, when you are through mourning, come to me and I’ll open your eyes to why you would need to awaken your own spirit”
“I don’t want to be--"
“Does it look like you have a choice now? You are so lost in your clans illusion that you can’t even see a simple push spell”
“I can cast a--"
Muz tries casting a spell, but finds himself in front of Felisha’s house, and that was where he planned on sending Frescum, who appeared behind him smiling as they both reappeared in the temple
“Is that it? A transfer spell? That was even slower than an ilis-ten-year old”
Muz gets mad and tries to hit Frescum, as each time, something stopped his hands pushing them back, but Muz continued to try, but each time, the same thing happened, as Muz gets angry and screams
“FELSTANIO EARSTI!!” (Fesltanio Earsti-Move the earth)
Which was an earth moving spell as the ground broke underneath Frescum but Frescum failed to reach the ground; then by doing the same spell, Frescum makes a stunned Muz fall into the open ground, as it closes and clasped his neck, leaving only his head above the ground
“Have respect for the temple, and it would honour you son. Calm your spirit and you would find away to free yourself, for I didn’t only do a Fesltanio I also backed it up with a temper control spell. So until you are calm enough to learn, you would not be free; and seeing that time is against us--"
Frescum walked up to him, pointing the tip of his staff on his fore head and whispering soething, as a blue light moves through the staff into the head of Muz causing Muz to slip into a world where he could grieve about his pain
“Until you are through grieving, you shall remain in there”

AWAKEN CHILD:
Muz’s eyes opened slowly, as he saw Frescum sleeping, taking a deep breath and looking more composed than before he went to sleep, he closes his eyes, as he is next seen sitting close to Frescum, who moves in shock
“You were snoring and it was quite a pain”
“You are through, I see. Now listen, this bag I give to you, is a special one, and has been in your clan for generations. It is very special because, it follows the needs of the holder. If you need any potion, it gives you the potion, as long as it is in the bag. So you would have to refill the bag and upgrade it from time to time. But whatever potion you need, just dip your hand into the bag and the first one you touch, use it.”
“Secondly, you would need to sport a wizard outfit”
“Where would I get one Eldracsu?”
“It seems your father left you his”
Frescum said pointing to the ground, as the trunk with Merzo Dunzka on it appearing before the two and opening, to the sight of a black hooded wizard overall with golden glowing symbols, which ran all through the outfit, (Not a robe, more like a ninja outfit with no mask, but a hood)
“Where this with pride son and you wouldn’t regret it, even for a day. Thirdly, I would need to revive your mind into knowing your basic spells and how to use them; but since they are in you, all I have to do is…”
Frescum stands and waves his staff around, as a set of lights came out from his body and moved around, all entering Muz one after the other, until all eight balls of light were in, causing Muz to fall to the ground.
“I just gave you ninety years of wizardry wisdom from your Eldrascu. It was his last wish that if any Cresdia was left alive he should get this”
“Thank you”
“Go now son. Something tells me I would be very proud of being the one who awakened you”
“Was there any request from the Eldrascu?”
“I think he would want you to accomplish your own dreams, then and only then, can you bother about other wishes of his”
Muz smiled, happy that he was ready to tackle the world and find out why his whole clan was annihilated. He walked and bowed to Frescum, who nods and says
“Bow no more to no man, for you are of the awakened age. I just hope you succeed. I have to go now, my clan needs me to stand by them”
“Goodbye Master Frescum”
“Goodbye Master Muz. One more thing, Allies would go a long way, so look for a trusted ally and you both would, by leaning on each other, get to greater heights”

ALLY:
“So, what’s with the outfit?”
Felisha is seen sitting in front of her house, like one who has been in mourning for over a week, even though Muz had just left her for a day.
“I saw what happened on the news and I was scared that you were dead, and you show up in front of my house wearing a crazy outfit, carrying a funny black matching bag and smiling like you just won a lottery”
“It’s my new look. You like?”
“How are you coping? I hope this hasn’t gotten you mad or something? Cause I know a very good helping place”
“Felisha, I’m fine. I’m going to find the people who did this though”
“You look too calm for someone who lost his whole clan; are you sure it wasn’t some kind of witch prank on us?”
“Felisha; I came to ask you to go on an adventure with me, I’m going to find a wizard cult known as LEDGE, and I need help from my only trusted ally”
“Are you nuts?! I have a year to think about my future after I just finished having a big fight with my dad and you expect me to just up and leave with you, to hunt wizards? Only a crazy person would agree to such an offer--"
Minutes later
“This is so cool, Muz. We are actually going to get top test some of my gadgets, like the demon buster and the hover crafts and the--"
Felisha and Muz are walking, as She is wearing a white and red mixed punk top and jeans, with a chain hanging from one side and a bag on her back, which looked high tech, from the hardness and the structure
“I should have listened to your advice from yesterday” Muz said to himself
“What did you say? You know, for a sidekick, you sure are a handful”
“Are you going to make me regret picking you?”
“Not really, are we going to walk to find Ledge?”
“Nope”
“So how are we going to get to them?”
“First we would have to do research on them in the Magical library”
“Where is that?”
“Not far away from here Felisha” exhausted from answering questions
“Are we there yet?”
“Nope!!”
Felisha continues disturbing Muz, as they both walked away. Looking at them from the top of a building is a hooded person in an outfit like Muz’s own but covered by the shadow of a building, so it’s colour isn’t seen. As the person moved in a swift way, that it almost seemed like he or she disappeared

So, it begins----

COURTESY DEMANDS:
“We’ve been here for five days now and we haven’t still gotten any leads on LEDGE”
Felisha had her head on the table, as it was clear that she was exhausted and wanted something more exciting; while Muz just sat still on his chair flipping through books
“The only thing we’ve gotten is that Ledge was an organisation bent on bringing the end of the-Muz, what are their names again?”
“HELINOVS”
“Yeah, those people who sold their bodies so they could live for ever. But they said after an incident of one of their members they vanished from the planet”
“It’s strange though, with all the flying gadgets and the super hi-tech stuffs that are available now, none of them had ever tracked them down don’t you think they are all a bunch of scrap Muz?” Realising he wasn’t listening “Muz?”
“What bothers me is the fact that the were about of the book they seek is also unknown”
“Spells? So the book is also missing”
“yes”
“Where do we go from here then?”
“I think we should keep checking, we would get something soon enough, I feel it”
“AHHH! You said this yesterday”
“SHUSHHH!!”
A librarian said passing by the two as it is clear that they were in a library and they had to be quiet, so they would not disturb others that were reading; but Felisha didn’t care about it
“Don’t shush me, we are acting on a matter of emergency here”
“Felisha, listen to this” Muz cuts her short from arguing with the Librarian, “It is said that the demons that are summoned from the staff of Dren aren’t great possessors and would only last a limited amount of time in a victim”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“Over here is the staff of dren--”
The announcement caught the two’s attention, as they turned and saw that there was a tour in the museum section of the metropolitan plaza, which had the library by the side
“Do you think they possibly donated it?”
“Don’t be silly Felisha”
The two ran, joining the tour, as Muz continued to read on the demons that were summoned by the staff.
“It is a duplicate of a staff that belonged to the just destroyed Cresidia clan, when they three separated pieces join they--”
“It’s Cresdia” Felisha corrected
“Thank you, Cresdia. The staff sets demons from another realm free. It is said that no one survived the Cresdia attack”
“What do you mean no one?”
Felisha was getting the tour guide annoyed, as Muz knowing her next statement, began walking back to the library, as Felish turned pointing at him.
“That there is the very last Cresdian”
The crowd turned looking at Muz in a way that made him feel very uncomfortable with himself, as he tried to smile and wave back to the crowd, whispering something to himself as Felisha heard
“You know you have no courtesy?”
“Tell that to the nuclear lecturer sonny” Felisha replied

ENCOUNTER:
The tour continued and Muz dropped the book as a strange wind, which wasn’t meant to be possible in a confined area, turned the leaves of the books to a page, which caught Muz’s eyes.
“Felisha?”
“Stop using this long distance magic on me, it’s getting annoying”
At this point the tour had reached a glassed book, which looked like something that was written over ten thousand years ago, with the words SPELLS written boldly on it
“And here dear guests we have the greatest compilation of spells in the world, the book of utmost power---"
“Felisha” Muz cuts in from a distance as only Felisha could hear him, like he was her thought
“What?!”
“The symptoms of people possessed by the demons of the free world are; one, their eyes are red--”
Felisha looks around and sees everyone’s eye there were red,
“Two, when the demons are about to leave, they begin convulsing”
Immediately everyone around here except the tour guide began convulsing as Felisha turned and looked at Muz, who turned looking at the crowd, and just as he is about to speak again, a set of green smoke began coming out of the tourists, who all fell to the ground, leaving demons standing in their place, as one jumped on the glass, licking it.

GUNS, CAMERA, SPELLTION:
Felisha began moving backward as Muz picked his bag, putting it on his bag, walking forward, picking Felisha’s bag and tossing it at her screaming
“Felisha, head’s up”
Felisha turns catching her bag and putting it on, as she turned to Muz.
“Next time, read faster”
“You know I hate reading”
As Muz talked, Felisha brought out two strangely designed guns from the two bottom ends of her bag, walking forward with Muz, as two of the demons turned and began walking towards Muz and Felisha, as Felisha pointed her guns at the two
“Testing one, two”
Shooting the two demons in front of her as they both moved convulsing, turning into dust and vanishing in thin air
“It works” Felisha said excitedly
“You weren’t sure it was going to?”
“Give me a break Muzie”
Just then, another two jumped in front of Muz, as Muz waved his hands, causing them to fly in the air, as he squatted, putting his two hands close to each other and while stretching his right hands towards one in the sky with his index and middle finger held together pointing at the demon while he screamed
“ELSTRISCA VASTWU!!” (Fragile Element destruction)
Immediately the two demons blew up, vanishing into thin air, just then, Felisha had managed to shoot one away from them, turning and looking at Muz
“Can’t those spells go any faster?”
“Watch this”
Just as the demons stood and were about to attack, Muz, hits his left leg on the ground and slides his right leg backward, as everything began moving very slow, except him. Muz then stretched his left hand out, taking in the thumb and then the two fingers in between the index and the pinkie, leaving them pointing at the demons, as he kept pointing the two remaining fingers towards each demon, until he had gotten everyone, then, pointing to the one in the middle of the crowd, he takes up his right hand and like he had measured specifically where to touch, then carrying his index finger higher than the rest, he says “TEMPTRICU NINFA” (Nine point death). That was the name of what he was doing.
After saying the words, he immediately moved past every demon hitting one as he went past, and leaving a blue light in each one, until he reach the last one, hitting nine times, in the nine different places he hit the nine others; this was the only thing Felisha and the rest saw and to them it happened immediately after he slammed his left leg on the floor. Immediately he was through hitting the last one on the ninth place he said in a low tone
“ENFERIO REWS” (Death spell[enferio]: Vanish[Rews]
Immediately every single demon remaining disappeared leaving only Muz, who turns smiling at Felisha
“Was that fast enough for you?”
“Why didn’t you do that in the first place?”
“Like you would say; now where is the fun in that?”
“Ah, you spoil sport”

LEADS 1:
“We would like to thank you for helping us out” The tour guide said, still shaking. “If there is anything we can do for you--”
“That isn’t SPELLS, right?”
“No sir, it’s a fake, that was designed to draw customers.”
“Who made the fake?”
“I think someone named Sir WILFAS NRUKS(pronounced ru-ks)”
“Could I have a contact address?”
“Why would you want to visit someone who made the fake?” Felisha asked
“Dear Felish, because it looked real enough to call the attention of LEDGE and that means whoever made this must have seen the original”
“I’ll have the address for you in some minutes”
The tour guide left, as everyone else were either clapping or whispering something to another person. While Felisha returned her guns
“So, how does the celebrity life feel Master MUZ DUNZKA?”
“Whenever you call my full name, it means you are up to something”
“Can’t someone sincerely be straight with you?”
“Back to what was at hand. These demons were sent by Ledge to check if the book here is real”
“Are they that desperate for it? Why would they think that the book could possibly be kept here?”
“Unless it was a possible distraction. It is said that the user of the staff must be close or it wouldn’t have nay effect, unless it’s a very powerful wizard or witch”
“here is the address sir”
The tour guide said handing a small sheet of paper over to Felisha, who took it with a smile looking around.
“Did anything else get missing?”
“We aren’t sure yet. Would take hours to truly be sure, nothing that this place is quite massive”
“If you find out anything call us on this number”
Felisha said handing him a number as Muz walked away looking at the book in the glass, and zoning out, as Felisha’s hands managed to being him back to the present.
“Are you okay?” Felisha said
“Seems like I’ve seen this book somewhere before. But it doesn’t seem like it was a modern enough time”
“I told you, you were always older than you said you were”
“You always take everything as a joke don’t you?”
“You should try and make things fun for me, especially realising that you are taking the time I’m meant to use to decide my future to run around the globe tracking demons and witches”
“You said you couldn’t let your sidekick go alone didn’t you? besides it was me or you other best friend Frankie”
“I told you he wasn’t my best friend”
“No need to get all jumpy like we are talking about an ex lover, it’s only Frankie here”
“You are lucky I promised not to cast any spell on you”

THE PROTÉGÉ”
“Is the Protégé moving yet?”
A hooded figure is seen in a hidden chamber, as someone wearing a wizard robe with the symbol of a broken book on it, is squatting before him at the other side
“With all due respect, he is a lot stronger that predicted. He even did the TEMPTRICU NINFA stance and mixed it with an Enferio, it was a breath taking mixture”
“If you love him so much DESPRA, maybe you should go assist him then”
“Sorry SHADOW KILLER”
“The Master states that nothing should happen to the Protégé, I’m to watch him, but to make sure he leads us to it.”
“He’s only goal right now is to find us”
“We would have to change that goal. Despra, you shall tell the clay two that they are to move out as soon as possible”
“Where do they go master”
“To the house of our dear Wilfas Nruks. That’s who they are going to ask about spells. So they should be there waiting for them”
“It shall be done master”
“Oh, and Despra, tell them to go easy on the Protégé”
“Yes master”

CONCLUSION:
“So, you are no longer angry that you are a wizard?” Felisha asked
Muz and Felisha are seen in front of the Metropolitan plaza, as they both walked away, waving goodbye to the tour guide, who seemed over excited to be bidding them farewell.
“Nope” Muz replied
“Great, now I could make you pay for all those times you cast a spell on me”
“Come one Felish, it’s not like you didn’t like spooking your younger ones”
“Yeah, and I earned the name ‘Freak’. That’s what I wanted to name my rock group you know? Come to think of it, I was also planning to make you my base guitarist”
“Thank goodness am on this mission”
“Come on Muzie, you are becoming rather stiff”
“You have to stop calling me that”
“How do we get to Lengils Drive?”
“We take the bus”
“I hate the bus”
“Felisha, please you don’t have to complain about everything now, do you?”
“I’m tired of suffering because of my sidekick”
“I am not your---" recalling it was Felisha who was impossible to convince, “never mind”
As they stopped at the bus stop, which was a high tech building, with a link that attached to busses when they arrive; a hooded figure is again in the dark, closely watching the two, as the figure puts it’s hands together, causing him or her to vanish, again leaving an empty space
“Is it possible for me to learn how to cast a spell?” Felisha questioned Muz, who was obviously tired of answering her
“With a lot of training-Yes”
“Without?”
“FELISHA! Please, I need to think--”

Ozoneent

FIELD TRIP:
The sky is coated in a dark shade of blue, with bright white clouds covering the very intense nature of the sun.
Muz and Felisha are seen on a bus-Felisha’s head leaned on a young man’s shoulder-who seemed to be on his way to work-kind enough to allow the restless punk-girl move his shoulder freely so her comfort could be suited.
“I’m sorry about her, she isn’t usually this troublesome”
Muz tried to apologise, but the man even seemed a little more troubled about Muz’s look than about Felisha who was a hundred miles away on his shoulder.
“Why are you looking at me in such a manner?”
“What manner?”
“Like I’m a threat to you?”
“It’s just that-of late you guys have been trying to kill each other, and we the normal people are just hoping that it wouldn’t bring us harm. We are innocent and not a part of your war”
“I’m only twenty one, how do you think I can influence such a big event?”
“You have your ways, why not cast a spell and stop it all?”
“That’s just being---"
The train announces the next station, as the speed reduced until the train came to a full stop. Muz is about to convince his questionnaire that he has no power to cast such a spell, when he saw that he had left and had dropped Felisha’s on the handle of his sit, and just as he was about to help her, she began getting up
“What the hell? Muzie, why would you drop me on the sit handle?”
“I didn’t, you were laying on the banker by your left”
“That’s cheap, blaming such an innocent-nice man”
“You never even got to look at him”
“How do you know that?”
Felisha looked out the window, basking her eyes on the green fields, which were a rarity at this time in their world.
“Muzie--"
“Yes?”
“Are we there yet?”
“I think you should go back to sleep”

LENGILS DRIVE:
“Finally, we could get back to shooting people”
Felisha said as the excitement was written all over her oval face, as she couldn’t stop herself from staring at the sign board, and embarrassing Muz, who just kept walking like he didn’t know her. Lengils Drive was an almost deserted street, with north up to ten houses on each side of the five mile environment made entirely of clay.
“Felish, something tells me we have to hurry”
“Oh, you must always be so serious now. You are a boring sidekick”
“If we want to see Mr. Nruks, we would have to hurry”
“Why? Does he have a date?”

The two walked until they got to a modern version of a cottage; after glancing at the house, which’s red paint reflected the sunlight and made it glow, the two walked into the compound and knocked at the door, waiting for an answer
“Who is it?” a voice from within the cottage said, as the doors opened to an old looking professor.
“Could you possibly be Mr. Wilfus Nruks?” Muz asked
“Who is looking for him?”
“We are sir”
Felisha said stretched her hands waiting for the old professor to shake it, but it met no reply, as Muz slapped her hands back down.
“I would have given you some candy, but it isn’t Halloween and I’m in no cheerful mood”
“We are sorry to bother you sir, but I’m the last Cresdian, and I’m after a group known as--"
“Come in quick!”
It was a shocking result the announcement of being a Cresdian made to the attitude of Mr Wilfus. In the next two minutes, the three were sitting in the cottage with cups of chocolate in the hands of the two young ones and a strange mixture in the hands of the old Professor
“I can’t believe it. So there truly was a surviving member of the Cresdia clan, fascinating”
“Why we would have loved to stay and sign autographs--"
“Felisha please, do me a favour and don’t talk” Muz said then turning to the Professor, “as much as I would hate to agree with my friend, we don’t have time. We are here to ask you about the book you made”
“Oh, you are fan of my works?” The man stood up, walking back to get something from a shelf
“No. Actually, we are here because of a specific book you made for the Metropolitan Museum of Magic”
“SPELLS” The man’s tone says he knew a lot of things and it would be very hard to convince him to talk about it. “Why SPELLS?”
“Because it’s the only way I can tack LEDGE”
The man is shocked and tries very hard to hide it, but his little sound had given away his feeling
“You know about both Spells and Ledge. Please, I’m on a quest and I would need to know everything I can about the two”
“Trust me child, it’s better you choose another dream than go after those two. Many have started such a quest and have ended up regretting their decision”
“Sounds like fun” Felisha jumped as Muz pulled her back to her sit
“You are a human and that means you are lost girl. Child, do not go after those two, go after something else like--"
“I have made up my mind.”
“The book at the museum was real enough to deceive even Ledge, must mean that you have seen the book” Felsiha questioned
“Many people have seen it, but no one has read it”
Nruks walked back to his sit, and just as he was about to relax on it and continue, the walls by his side began moving, but none of the three took note of the changes
“I have seen the book, and it was during the--"

LEDGE OF CLAY:
As the Professor was about to finish his statement, the walls took the shape of a sharp spike and tried to stab the professor, who disappears, reappearing on the top of the two sets of spikes which hit each other and formed the shape of a bridge. The Professor tried to relax taking a deep breath, but just then, then a wave of clay began to rise over the professor, who disappears again, appearing close to Muz and Felisha, as Muz stretches his mind, immediately a green dome was formed over the three, causing the clay to bounce away.
A man appeared on the ground, almost half a mile away from the three, who just came out of Muz’s dome
“Impressive, that much is expected from the Protégé”
The man said, he was looked like a six-footer from the distance, and spotted a hooded outfit, similar to that of Muz, with the hood, covering his face and making it hard for them to find out how he looked exactly; he also carried a little bag by his side. But the most interesting aspect was the fact that his outfit had the symbol of a broken book.
“Who in the world is this ugly smock?” Felisha said
“Your friend has a big mouth; would you like to know what happen to such people?”
“She does have a point. Who the hell are you?” Muz supported Felisha, who smiled happy that she was on the right track
“He is a LEDGE” Professor Nruks said after which he moved close to the drawer and brought out a wand
“I’m one of the clay twins. Would you like to see what I can do?”
The man clapped his hands, shook them both and spread them apart, as the whole street turned into one big field of clay. The Clay ledge, then slapped his hands on the ground, a little glass broke and a small red mist is seen coming out from underneath, as he screamed “Delbaskio: Clivanco Blusti”(clay-tower support, spell and potion). Muz immediately tries to do his TEMPTRICU NINFA [Nine point Death]; but only managed to hit a tower of clay, which just repaired itself, as Muz jumped back
“So the rumour is true, the protégé is a TEMPTRICU NINFA user” The clay wizard said
“I can’t believe I just saw that spell” Professor Nruks exclaimed
“Is it that special?” Felisha asked
“Yes, it’s an ultimate move--"
“—But that move has a weakness” the Clay witch continued a previous statement, which he had been saying to himself “That spell can only work if you are on the same level, or almost the same level with the person you are using it on. Also --"
The clay witch whispers something, and immediately, the ground beneath the three began to move, they all jumped up and just before they hit the ground again, Professor Nruks waves his wand and the earth moved upward giving them a place to land on that wasn’t made of clay, but not high enough for a TEMPTRICU NINFA.
“So, you three are just going to keep running from me?”
“Don’t be so cocky you little clay using bastard!” Felisha said
Muz moves swiftly and in an instance he is beside the clay witch and was about to hit him with his glowing hands, but the witch turns into clay, which tried to consume Muz, but Muz disappears and is seen in midair, as he continued to move on the air, stepping once in a while on the clay that tried to catch him.
Felisha, looked around and saw the clay witch somewhere else, and immediately brings out her guns, she shoots at him, but he blocked them off with a dome of clay, as the dome disappeared, Professor Nruks is in front of him, and tries to blast him, but the spell flies past and Professor Nruks became open, a clay hand is formed and it punches Nruks to the ground, which he lands on hard, managing to get back on the platter before the clay got a hold of him. The two look up and just then the witch there turns into clay. Felisha looks around and sees a wave of clay forming behind them, before she could scream, she sees, Muz who hits something invincible, causing the clay witch to appear, hitting a street lamp hard, this made the wave of clay disappear.
“I thought you would never find me” the clay witch mocked
“It was wise of you to do that, make us chase after your clones, but--"
Muz appears behind the witch, who jumps off and lands on the first pillar of clay which he made by hitting the ground.
“You are fast. But not fast enough”
Muz looks at the ground and is surprised about something. He jumped down, standing close to the pillar, which was bubbling now and taking a form
“What is that?” Felisha asked
“Clay men” Nruks answered, as they both took deep breaths
“You are smart Ledge. You were never a Delbaskio user; You just wanted us to think so. It gave you time to hide yourself and create clay men, while we chased shadows. Which means you said a different spell when you hit the potion on the ground, hiding behind a temporary clone of yourself”
“What is a Delbas-, whatever user?” Felisha asked
“He is someone that can do a spell and potion attack at the same time. With one word, he could add both a spell and a potion attack. They are very rare and are very dangerous” Nruks replied holding his wand tighter “But this one is not. So he wanted to get back up”

STRANGE ENCOUNTER:
“Impressive Muz, it takes people their death to realise what you just did; and I’ll even have to tell them” the clay witch stretched teasing Muz, “I would have expected more from the person called the Protégé”
“I’m no ones protégé. Why do you keep calling me that?”
“It doesn’t matter”
The clay-men were fully formed and just as Muz was about to take a stance, demons came in from no where entering over twenty clay bodies which were made for them. Muz immediately does a TEMPTRICU NINFA, but instead of the demons dying, they just had they clay bodies broken, as the ten who Muz hit jumped to try and attack him. Just as Muz was about to move, he realised bullets were flying all over, passing very close to his ear and hitting the two demons that were just about to jump him, causing them to disappear.
“You are good” Nruks praised
“Alien Killer 4 high score champ; four years and running” Felisha beamed in self glory
Muz then screams “WINDSPRISCO REWS” [Spiral-Destruction, Vanish], spinning as a big-black-sphere ball forms over him destroying both the clay bodies and the demons, as Muz stopped looking up.
The clay witch moves to the edge and jumps down towards Muz, who jumps into the air; just as the two are about to clash, a pillar of clay came out pushing the clay witch, who lands close to Nruks and Felisha. Felisha tries to shoot him, but misses at point blank, as Nruks’ spell is hit away, along with his wand, the Clay witch then says in a clam calculated way “Espelio: clarave” [Attack spell: clay grave], creating a clay casket which wraps Nruks within. Turning to look at Felisha, who shots his head, causing clay to splash all over her; she is about to talk when all the clay on her body came together forming a hand firmly holding her neck, the Clay wizard is seem with his head down, backing Felisha, but he still had his right hand on her neck.
Muz jumped down after blasting away all the clay that tried to capture him; turning to see Felisha’s neck held by the clay wizard
“You know, I expected more from you; in terms of protecting your friends” the clay wizard spoke from behind Felisha, not even looking at Muz
“Let them go”
“Why would I do that Muz? They are only slowing you down; take this as a favour”
“Let go of my neck you pig-like--"
“You know, I would love to kill her first, her mouth is quite annoying. But it looks like the professor is too old to be able to hold his breath for long in there”
“Look who says I have a big mouth. Let go of my neck and I’ll show you a--"
“What the hell do you want?” Muz said cutting Felisha
“Your standing there is more than enough”
The clay wizard moved his left hand, and once again an army of clay men appeared, with a set of demons entering them. They all created weapons from the ground as they began running towards Muz, who just stood still as Felisha screamed something he didn’t understand; but he didn’t care, the end was here and he had to accept it…
“ESPELIO LINFRASTICALIUM!!” [attack spell: Light of a thousand swords] With the bright light came a ray of hope, as a female hooded figure appears before him. The Light destroyed every single clay-man and demon that were coming after Muz
“What the--" The clay wizard screamed in shock
The distraction gave Felisha the time to hit out the hand of the clay wizard and try to shoot him as he jumped back to his pillar, but he is met by an angry muz, who blasts him with the first spell that came to his head
“Placion Vestraci Listum” [Thickening, Binding and fire. A three way heavy attack spell]
