\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Magician\u2019s War (Chapter 14)<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I have planned,\u201d Anika said<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cis something that will befuddle their head.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir \u2018home\u2019 is a huge castle.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is protected by a shield that looks natural.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t get in without alerting them.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c So, we will bring them out.\u201d \u201c A simple whim.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir hatred is great against the Normals.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAn attack by them would be scornful.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will fire on the shield with a device<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

that will sling big rocks at the shield.\u201d \u201c Nice.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThey will think it is the Normals doing it.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir hatred will boil.\u201d \u201cThe stupid wits.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThey will come boiling out to kick some ass.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cInvisible, some of us will slip in.\u201d \u201c Slick as glass.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce inside, we will bring down the castle .\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be reduced to a pile of gravel.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cEnraged, they will come rushing back.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is when I will use my tact.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI am the Great Deceiver.\u201d She said.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI will leave them without magic, not dead.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cGreat Deceivers have only done that to one.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cNot hundreds, like what will come?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI know this, but feel I can pull it off.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know what failure will cost?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cOf course I do, but good will beat evil.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018My method will then be revealed.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The plans were laid and then came the day.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Everything was in place. They were ready to play.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

3 catapults were built and put in place.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Kept invisible till they started the race.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

10 of the most powerful wizards were <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

near the castle door when things did occur.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The signal was given. The catapults did fire.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Rocks slammed into the shield. It rang like a wire.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

In no time, warlocks came pouring out.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Most were flying. Some ran about.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The 10 Wizards slipped in. <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Now, the fun was about to begin.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The 10 Wizards found the castles main supports.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They were ready. They would not abort.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They all pointed their wands and yelled \u201cDestructo\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Bright beams flew out of wands with a chuckle.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They all beamed out before the beams struck.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A tremendous explosion took out all struts.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The entire castle fell in on itself.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The shield collapsed in the fire lit melt.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Warlocks everywhere came to a stop.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They came rushing back to the melting pot.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Anika floated above the castle mess.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She glowed like she was wearing a fiery dress.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

All Warlocks were looking at her in shock.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She said: \u201cGod, grant me the power I need<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

To put an end to this evil seed\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI am your servant for good.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c Let me make things right, like it should.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A big flash of blue light spread from her wand.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It covered every Warlock and beyond.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There was absolute silence everywhere.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then, Warlocks began dropping. What a scare.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

All had lost their magical power.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Their evil rule ended that very hour.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Normals were grabbing them all.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Some were ripped apart after their fall.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Others were slapped in\u00a0 a prison.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Many were hurting from the beating given.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Normals learned to live in freedom.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The castle was forbidden from the kingdom.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The wizards praised Anika for her ability .<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She said; \u201cIt was God\u2019s will, you see.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Anika and the panthers, plus Pern,<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

would stay on and help the Normals learn.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Eventually, she would return to her home.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Wizard VS Warlock War had shown<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

that good can triumph by love alone.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
