with the family. We were not selling any garages though. Anyway onto
the flash fiction!
Spells Of Trouble And Order
Little Reggie was a young little boy wizard who wandered around the
ancient magic libraries and found something that nobody had know of
since the construction of the library. A secret switch to a secret
chamber holding an indestructible book made by the gods.
The little boy was a good reader for his age and could make out a
few of the spells within. Powerful spells. Spells to cause trouble
and chaos, and ones to make order and repair the world. The child
took the book and aimed to have fun. The worse of childish fun.
Mischief.
Soon the world of wizards was overwhelmed with troubles. Horrible
troubles. Pranks could be considered a minor thing. But when people
are tripping by the thousands it is no minor thing. Or when people
get the hiccups like a plague. Little Reggie took the power of the
gods and made jokes a terror and many people didn't realize they were
even such things. He considered crazy winds a prank but it made
farmers confused about how to anticipate the weather for their crops.
They wondered if the magic for controlling the weather to help grow
their crops and make enough food for the populace would work.
But then Little Reggie felt guilt and would use the spells of order
to make the wizarding world better. So many blessings would befall
the people. Sicknesses cured, even to things like blindness. He would
actually make the crops grow better. Buildings wrecked in disasters
would just appear fixed when people turned their eyes away.
In moments though he would turn to mischeif and cause trouble again.
He would flip between the two making the whole world a confusing mess
between random acts of terror and random acts of wonderful blessings.
People wondered if there was some new magical diety they should be
praying too for favor.
Eventually all the wizarding guilds gathered a cast a powerful
tracking spell on all the magical phenomena. Little Reggie wasn't
even aware this was happening. He doesn't watch the news between his
cartoons. After the wizards did their magic they found him and were
mystified. One old wise wizard recognized the book, even though he
never knew it was in the library. He quickly cast a spell to open a
portal to another universe and threw it in and closed the portal. He
didn't want to tell any of the other wizards what it was, or else
they would attempt to take it for their own.
He lied and told the other wizards afterward it was an evil spell
book that took over minds and needed to be banished. Privately the
wizard lectured Little Reggie about it. He remembered the power of
the book until the day he died and the joy of the absolute power of
trouble and order.
