| | | | | Chapter 1: Lady Oriel
'Students, Students! Today is a wonderful day to venture into the scareful world of Dragonsprye. I hope you all brought your notebooks today' thats how Master Drake would always start on a beautiful day.
'Nope, forgot mine.' Jake SkillLess blurted out
'Ugh...Why do you bother coming to this class anyways?' Master Drake
'My father shall kill me if I don't learn earthquake. You know that..you and my father were great -Myth- buddies in highschool.' That made Master Drake scowl at him.
Later that morning we were all venturing around the Crystal Cove in hope of seeing the rare black crystal. It is told to grant five golden wishes to any wizard who may find it. There is also a myth of the mysterious golden dryad that lurks the seas of Dragonsprye in search of her true destined wizard. The last wizard who saw her was a crazy Life wizard by the name of, Stone Killheart, I believe. He spoke of the weirdest riddle ever and who ever figures it out and completes the task, will have better luck finding these items of the myth.
The riddle was read as this;
Beware, wizards of Wizard City, time hangs by a thread.
The hunters are hunted, careful not to loose your head.
The gnawers will strike to extinguish the rest.
The hope of the hopeless resides in a quest.
A wizard warrior,a son of the sun,
May bring us back life, may bring us none.
But gather your neighbors and follow his call.
Or Wingbringers will most surely devour us all.
Two over, two under, of royal decent,
Two flyers, two crawlers, Two spinners assent.
One gnawer beside and one lost up ahead.
And eight will be left when we count up the dead.
The last who will die must decide where he stands.
The fate of the eight is contained in his hands.
So bid him take care, bid him look where he leaps,
As life may be death and death life again reaps.
No one knows for sure if that it true, that is just read from our textbook. If any of us shall understand this weird riddle we are to report to Master Drake for he has the quest for us. I have figured out many in this quest but not the whole thing, like the crawlers are tigers, flyers are dragons, spinners are spiders, over is a ice, storm or fire wizard, under is death life or myth wizard. When it says 'Time hangs by a thread.' I saying our lifes are in dange---
'Wolf! Wolf! Look what I found!' April stopped my gazing and had me look what she had found. April has been my best friend since we were in Windergarten.
It surprised me most to see what she had in her hand, it was, I guess, half of the black crystal!
'Where did you find that?' I questioned, not trying to sound too rude.
'Over on the farest west corner' she responded pointing west. 'But it's for you, Wolf, you are more experienced than I am and you can probably do better than me with the wishes.'
'No' I said disagreeing 'You found it so you keep it. Plus I think you need the other half before you can wish your wishes.'
Right then and there the crystal started to move, right towards Master Drake! When it reached Master Drake it connected to his necklace. He turned his head to April and I.
'Great job you two! You found the other half of the crystal, with that I will grant you each with five wishes.' said a women's voice that suddenly appeared next to Master Drake. We then realized who it was.... It was Lady Oriel. We both gasped in delight.
'You-your Lady Or-el .' Jake spoke in a high pitched stuttering voice.
'Indeed I must be. These two wizards have recovered me from the crystal.'
'Them! I was the one who found the first part of your crystal!' Master Drake interrupted crossly.
She turned to Master Drake and concentrated on his necklace. 'Yes you did but, they found the larger half so they must be granted the larger part of the reward.'
She turned back to us, 'Well then lets get started on your quest on finding this secret Dryad. I've read that Wolf Griffin, had most of the riddle figured out. While April SwiftSword has the other half of this hard riddle. If thee joins together you will be sent on the quest to find the Dryad and save her from the wretched dungeon.'
I couldn't believe what was happening. Lady Oriel is going to help us find the golden Dryad! She gave one whistle and two tigers came, two spiders came, and two dragons came, all we needed was the second over and the second under.
'Wolf since you are under, you pick your second under wizard, and April since you are over, you pick the second over wizard.'
'Hum.. I choose Charles Skywalker as my second under, Miss Lady Oriel.' I said, because I have known Charles forever and he is the best friend a life wizard could have.
'I choose Shelby Dragonrider since she is the only storm in the class.' April spoke after me.
'Alrighty then, April you know what a gnawer is but Wolf doesn't.. Do you think you guys can get one by your side?'
'Yes but it won't be easy. A gnawer is a-a... well a Danger Hound I supposed. Those things are almost as rare as seeing you and finding the golden Dryad.'
'Indeed it is, but I think you will have no trouble at all.'
Chapter 2: Danger Hound
There we, each riding one of the dragons to the Aheneum to see if the store has any Danger Hounds in stock. Once we reached there we headed over to the pet shop and asked the man if he had any Danger hounds or know where one is. He responded by saying Milos Bookworm may know where to get one cause a strange dude in all black bought his last one that morning. So we started for Milos.....
'Good morning young students, may I be an assist to you?'
'Uh.. Yes we were wondering if you knew were to get a Danger hound.' I asked
'Ahh in search of the danger hounds... I see... well I think you can get one by heading over to Mooshu and killing so many wraiths till one confesses he is the Overlord and he gives you one item. Ask for a danger hound and he will give you thrice as many. But I must warn you... Danger hounds are very dangerous in many reason. Keep him away from electric items, storm hounds, and fire hounds. If he gets near them he will go crazy. So anything else?'
'No thank you.. You have helped us plenty, thanks.'
We walked out side and got on our dragons and took off heading to Mooshu. It took what felt like twenty hours to get there. I was about to go to sleep but once I felt the dragon start shifting to land I woke up to see where we were landing.
'We have reached Hamestu Village, Master Wolf.' the dragon, Ares, spoken
'You speak?'
'Of course we do, all animals do'
We headed south to the wraiths. Our first kill was not the Overlord. On our second kill I was about to summon Centaur to the circle to defeat it but it spoke...
'Please don't kill me, I am the Overlord of all Wraiths and I come in peace. I will give you anything you ask please.'
'We ask for a Danger Hound' April spoke before I could
'A danger hound is a rare hound you know little girl'
'Yes but we need for a quest'
'Alright since you did not kill me with that so called -Life- card I shall grant you with three danger hounds.'
Three danger hounds appeared next to April, she jumped at the site of them. There skin was brown with black strips, drool dripping from their snouts, ears perking at every sound,each of their paws had a black spot on them. I suppose the black spot is a symbol of their tribe.
'There are scary looking, Wolf' April whispered
'Haha, yeah they remind me of Jade Oni' I said making a funny impression of Jade Oni.
Once we got the hounds rounded up Lady Oriel appeared and helped up get them to Dragonspyre.
'See that wasn't so hard now was it?'
'Not at all' April spoke
'Well the quest will be much more difficult. I looked at the weather and it will be cold in the area you are going in. Mother Nature cannot stop this blizzard. So you guys need to be well prepared.'
'I will get my stuff packed now' I spoke and was about to head to my house when she stopped me
'Already done' and she shoved backpacks in each of our hands.'Times a wasting better get to it!'

The Ice Plague
Ice and snow are everywhere, my teeth start to chatter. I can hardly breathe from the cold. I hear a cold, cruel, laugh sharp as ice. "Nobody will stop the Ice Plague! Muahahaha!" I spun around, but nobody was there. I can feel my legs get numb, and my head starts to spin.
I fall to the ground. I woke with a start. "Wow, some dream." I said to myself.
Oh, I'm Amber.
I got dressed in my favorite tye dye shirt and shorts. I made my bed and brushed my teeth and hair.
As I went downstairs, the phone rings. It's a Saturday, all my friends are probably sleeping late. Wondering who it is, I pick it up. It says, 'Keira'. Keira is my best friend who lives a few houses down our street. I answer the phone. "Hello?" I said. "Amber? It's me, Keira. Did you have a weird dream last night, by any chance, about ice?" She said.
"Umm-what will happen if I say yes?" I said. "I'll freak out." Keira said. "Ok, then should I say no even if it's a lie?" I asked.
"YOU DID HAVE A DREAM ABOUT ICE? " She said. "Uhh...Yes..." I said slowly. This made no sense. I was confused. I shouted, "MOM! DAD! CAN KEIRA COME OVER?" "Sure honey, if her parents say ok." "Wanna come over to talk?" I asked Keira. "Hang on, let me ask my parents." I waited a few moments when finally I hear Keira come back. "Amber, are you still there?" said Keira. "Yep, did your parents say yes?" I asked. "Yeah, I'll be over in a few minutes." she said.
A minute later, I heard a knock. "Come in!" I said. "Hiya Amber." Keira said. "Hiya K-Cat." I said. "Ok, let's go to my room." "Do you want anything, a drink, snacks?" My mom asked. "No thank you, I'm good." Keira said. "Amber, anything?" "No, I'm fine mom, thanks though." I said. We went in my room and closed the door.
Keira sat on my bed. "Ok, what's going on?" She said. "I really have no clue, I've been trying to understand it, but, The Ice Plague?" I said.
"I know." said Keira, "I mean how did we get the same dream about some Ice Plague?"
"I don't know." I said.
"Hey," I said, "look!", Keira looked where I was pointing, and on my windowsill, a small envelope had appeared.
"Umm...that wasn't here when we came in." said Keira. "Yea, I know," I said, "how did that get there?"
I opened my window and grabbed the envelope. I looked at who it was addressed to, and my jaw fell open. "Umm...it says- 'To Amber and Keira'..." "You're kidding." Keira said. "No lie, K-Cat." I said. She read it. "Wow, it IS to both of us..."
"Well... what does it say?." asked Keira "It says-"
Congratulations Young Wizards!
You have been accepted at Ravenwood School of Magical Arts in Wizard City.
If you accept, please notify your parents and they will notify us so we will send transportation to get you on Sep. 23 at noon.
Best Whishes,
~Headmaster Ambrose and Gamma~
I stopped reading and glanced up at Keira who had a shocked look on her face. (Though I'm not surprised.)
"Umm.." I said, "Are you just as crazy as I am?." "And by that you mean..?" Keira said slowly, "And by that I mean that this envelope said that we are wizards, and now I'm believing it!" I said really fast.
"Then yes," she said, "I think I am VERY crazy."
"Knock knock!" said my mother, who opened the door and came in.
I hid the envelope behind my back and looked up at my mother who was giving me 'the eye.'
"What are you hiding behind your back?" my mom asked suspiciously. "Nothing!" I insisted. I looked over at Keira, but she just kept giving me the 'Just make something up' face..
"Keira," said my mom, "what are you hiding?." "Really, it's nothing, it's-umm... an envelope from Penelope." I said. "Penelope?" My mom asked, looking at me funny. "Yeah, Penelope from school." I said. "Oh, all right then," my mom said, "if you say so..." She left.
"Wait," said Keira, "it says, 'Notify your parents'..."
"Umm... Let's tell them I guess?" I said. "Ok-you tell yours and I'll tell mine." Keira said.
After Keira had left, I walked up to my parents and said, "Umm...Mom? Dad? Can I ask you something?" "Anything, honeybunn, what is it?" My mom said. "Umm...HaveyoueverheardofRavenwoodSchool? I said really fast. "Have-What?" My dad said. "Uh-have you ever heard of R-ravenwood School of M-m-magical Arts?" I repeated, stuttering.
"Ravenwood?" My parents said, their eyes lighting up. "Yes, your father and I went there when we were children!"
"Really? Wait-WHAT?" I said. "Yes, your mother and I are Wizards, and now, you will be off to Ravenwood School of Magical Arts!" My father said proudly. "Umm...So maybe I should give you this..." I handed my mom the envelope. "It says 'To Amber AND Keira' is her family Wizards too?" I asked. "Yes indeed, lovey." My mom said. "So-so I'll be going to Wizard School with her?" I said, trying to conceal my excitement. "Yes, most likely." My dad said. "YES! AWESOME!" I shouted happily. My parents smiled at me.
The next few weeks were a blur. Keira and I were so exited, are parents notified the Headmaster, and we would be going to Ravenwood tomorrow. The next day, I awoke feeling like it was Christmas. I ate breakfast, got dressed, and waited till noon. Keira knocked on my door. "It's eleven forty five," She said, "Lets get ready." As our families waited outside for the transportation, Keira said, "Look!" Across the street, in the town square, a doorway had appeared. "It's a portal!" I said, amazed. "Off you go you too!" My dad said, "Don't forget to write to us every day!" We said our goodbyes, crossed the street, and stepped into the portal.
If you have never stepped into a portal before, trust me, you wouldn't want to. It was like stepping into ice, and it made your whole body numb.
I looked over at Keira, she had her eyes closed, and was mumbling just for it to be over, plus looked like she was going to be sick.
Finally our feet hit solid ground, we both stumbled to keep our balance, and thankfully caught ourselves before we had fallen. I looked around. We had appeared in a stone, circular tower. There were torches up against the sides of the walls, and a red carpet had appeared under our feet.
In the middle of the room an old man with blue robes and twinkling yellow stars had appeared with an owl by his side. "Hello, allow me to introduce myself, I am Headmaster Ambrose of Ravenwood but please, call me Professor Ambrose." said the old man, with a smile on his face. Keira and I glanced at each other, I could see that Keira was VERY exited ever since we got here by the look of her face. I looked at the Owl. "This is?" I asked Professor Ambrose, nodding toward the Owl. "Oh dear, I'm sorry, this is my pet Owl, Gamma." he said. "Hellooo." said Gamma, "I am very pleased to meet youooo."
I looked over at Keira, and I could clearly see that she was about to burst with excitement.
"It's nice to meet you too." I said. "Now," said Ambrose, "why don't we find out what school you are."
He handed us each a sheet of paper. "A quiz?" I asked. "Not exactly," he said, "a test to find out your personality and which school will suit you the best." After we answered the test, Ambrose said, "CONGRATULATIONS! Amber, you will attend the school of Fire!" Suddenly, I was wearing robes, boots, and a hat in red and orange. "And Keira, CONGRATULATIONS! You will attend the school of Storm!" Keira was transformed into clothes of purple and yellow.
"Sir," I asked the Headmaster, "will my brother be able to attend?" "Your brother Wolf?" Ambrose said. "Yes, of course! I will send another letter to your family immediately!"
"And my brothers?" Keira asked, "Matthew and Wolf?" "Yes, yes, of course!" He said. "Now, you will need a magical last name!" "I'll be Amber DragonRider." I said. "And I'll be Keira GriffinEyes." Keira said. "Good, good, now, I have a quest for you..."
Weeks later, Keira had leveled up to level twenty one, and I had leveled up to level twenty eight.
Our brothers, Wolf ShadowBlade, Matthew WillowHammer, and Wolf Titan had joined. (Wolf ShadowBlade is my brother.)
It was night.
Ice again. The voice. The numbness. It was the same dream I had had the day I found out I was a wizard. "Nobody will survive the Ice Plague! MUAHAHA!" It was the voice again. "I, Deathfreeze, will rule Wizard City!"
I screamed. Everything went black. I woke drenched in sweat. It was six forty five. "I'm not going back to sleep," I said to myself, "I might as well get ready." At seven, I went to the Eating Hall with Keira. I told her about my dream. "Go tell the Headmaster," she said, "maybe he can help, maybe it's important." Our classes wouldn't start till eight, so Keira and I went to the Headmaster's office. "Coome in." Gamma said. "May we see the Headmaster?" Keira asked. "Ooof coooourse." Gamma said. We knocked on the Headmaster's door. "Enter." We heard him say. "Headmaster, weeks ago Keira and I had a dream..." I told him everything, from the cold voice to the Ice Plague.
"Hmm...The Ice Plague you say?" Said Ambrose. "How interesting...I will need time to think this over..." "Sir?" I said, "Is it possible that these dreams are-real?" "Yes, it is very possible." Ambrose said.
This was going to be interesting.
