Going
to my costuming club today. So much fun will be had I suppose! Anyway
onto the flash fiction!
Jerry's Spell
A
young wizard named Jerry and a young knight named Ron fancied
themselves for adventure. A common past time for knights and wizards
of their age who felt particularly reckless. While setting up the
tent for camp Ron watched Jerry prepare a spell.
“So
now that I've gathered the ten varieties of berries from the woods I
can mix them together in this cup.” Jerry mumbled magic words as he
mixed the berries for thirty minutes. “I will use this concoction
to write the core of the spell on this blank scroll.” The writing
took about twenty minutes. Ron finished setting up the tent long ago
and now already took off the heavier pieces of his armor that
wouldn't allow him to move well around camp. Jerry continued
narrating himself, Ron wondered if this was to help him keep track of
what he was doing or if he just wanted to show off all the things he
did as a wizard. “Then I rub candle wax on the scroll right before
placing a few other items like spider's web on it.” The application
of the rest of the spell components took another thirty minutes.
“Then with a flick of the wrist...”
The
scroll turned into a ball of fire that flew straight for the wood
they'd gathered for the campfire.
Jerry
smiled. “And now our campfire is lit! Amazing isn't it?”
Ron
groaned, “Yes, yes, so amazing. But how about next time we light
the campfire the normal way?” He wanted to start cooking dinner
about forty five minutes ago.
