- The Revenge Of A Toad
“Looking for your spell book witch? Your wand? Your broomstick?
Your potions?” A young handsome, man with skin the color of freshly
tilled soil and hair the hue of dry wheat said with an angered tone.
He looked at an old witch with gray hair and skin so wrinkled and
white it looked like petrified tree.
“Where's all my property!? My house is piratically empty! Who are
you? Are you some kind of burglar?” The witch yelled shaking her
old fist. “I'll cast a spell on you!”
The young man laughed. “Well, the answer to your first question is
that all your property is in ashes. I burnt it all, only way to
dispel all your dark magic. Can't just break up your wand or you
could reform it. That's what a kind wizard told me. The same one who
lifted the curse you put on me. If you don't remember me my name is
Jake.”
“Who...?”
Jake walked up to her. It wasn't hard to loom over the short, old
woman. “You are as sick as I thought you were. You don't even
remember the people you curse. You turned me into a toad. I guess for
slightly offending you on a date we were on. Though it was five years
ago and you shape shifted yourself into a young, beautiful woman
instead of this ugly thing you are now.”
“How dare you, you, you insolent magicless commoner!”
“You really should be wondering what I'm going to do to you as
revenge for the five years you took away from me by turning me into a
toad. The five years I spent as a filthy animal. I was lucky a wizard
with strong magical senses noticed my predicaments before I was eaten
or something worse.”
“What are you going to do to me?”
Jake laughed. “I'm going to do what you did to me. I'm going to
leave you to a terrible fate. I know you've cursed people with far
more dangerous, cruel and sadistic minds than mine. Any way I could
kill you would be laughable compared to what they came up with. Among
the possessions of yours I burnt was all the magical items you had
binding them to their curses. They will come after you. And all you
can do is run with those old legs of yours.”
Jake left, walking away while holding back the urge to hop which
still hadn't fully left his body. The good wizard that lifted his
curse said that in a few more days all the side effects of the
witches curse would be gone.
