* * * * * "... while he was still chewing away, the first dwarf came back and announced that the sledge was ready. The White Witch rose and went out, ordering Edmund to go with her. The snow was again falling as they came into the courtyard, but she took no notice of that and made Edmund sit beside her on the sledge ..." Lucas had been sitting in his chair for over an hour while Bobby read to his grandmother from his favorite childhood books. It was a ritual by now. Every day, for half a day, they would sit by her side, and Bobby would read her the stories she had once read to him. This was a special one. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

His voice again: “I’m coming, storm queen. Hold on.” The pipe ends in black water that isn’t water. Xibalba’s last gate. It whispers: “You gave yourself. The contract holds. Sleep.” I smile with too many teeth. Fangs out. “I’m a Blood Wizard. I don’t do contracts. I rewrite them.” I bleed violet lightning onto the grip tape. The board ignites. I ollie off the edge of the dream. Into the dark. Toward his voice. I’m coming home, coyote.

The note read, "This book belonged to the sorcerer who created the magical bird. It may contain information that could help you." Noelle thanked the guard and opened the book, flipping through the pages until she found what she was looking for. The page contained a spell that could only be cast by a powerful sorcerer, but it was the only way to capture the bird without harming it. Noelle knew what she had to do.

This wasn’t a book that I’d had the luxury to read yet, so I opened it without hesitation. Immediately, my mind got caught up in the story and I felt a pang of familiarity with Dorothy. She was whisked away from her family, only to end up somewhere completely unfamiliar, though she trusted those she met.

But instead of old stories from my grandmother’s life, the pages were scrawled with strange symbols and sketches—shorthand in her handwriting explaining the purpose of different runes and sigils. Flipping through the pages, there were sketches of wolves, and the last page that she’d written in had a detailed rendition of a nightmarish wolf-beast that made my blood run cold at the sight of it, it’s eyes smudged over with charcoal in the shape of a protective rune. My heart raced when I realized what I was holding. This was no ordinary journal, it was a spell book.

“You are right. But I'll stay up late to see who's sitting in my room without my will.” “We’d better see your books.” Johnny checked the books in Elizabeth’s hand. In the pile of book prepared for the girl there were: Encyclopedia of magical eras, from the beginning to the present day, Find out what others have done ... and become a better wizard, by Mark Zitter Geography of magical places and unknown fantastic areas, Beaten tracks ... and uncommon roads, by Julia Simens Beasts rarely seen ... or never met, Seen in dream ... in dim mindset, by Hans von Kilberg
