Element Girls Book 1 - Mihaela Bogdan (large ebook reader .txt) 📗

what I call coincidence! Gavriel laughed too.
  Without any more talking, the Wise Elder informed the girls that at midnight they must come again, with their travel luggage, because they must depart to the Wiearth immediately. He wasn’t able to find a cure for the curse that the Dark Lord summoned on them, therefore, they must go to the magical planet to find other powerful wizards to help them out.
  Laura proposed to have a good-bye party at the leader’s house, before their departure.
  -Wait a minute! What do we say to our parents? Oana asked worried.
  -Leave that to me, child. The Wise Elder assured her.
  Without this being said, the girls returned to their families for the last time. Oana told her parents she invited some friends for a sleep over. To her surprise, they agreed.
  Laura, Helena and Michaela lied to their parents that they were going to a sleep over not far from their homes; after they were far enough from their neighborhoods, the dragons came and took them at Oana’s.
 Unfortunately, Oana had a surprise guest, her boyfriend Andrew.
 -Hello, girls! We have a special guest with us; Oana tried to be happy, when in reality she was worried what to do with Andrew. She thought that after her parents were asleep, they could easily departure to Bucharest with the dragons unnoticed. But now that her boyfriend came uninvited, things will be difficult.

-And who is it? Laura asked, but she knew already the answer.
  -I am Andrew, Oana’s boyfriend! And you three must be her friends, Oana told me everything about you!
  -Everything?! Helena asked worried thinking that Andrew knew that they were witches.
  -Yes, how you had a fight and one of you left the group, but now I see you girls work things out. Andrew added looking at Michaela.
  -It is not ya business, what ya girlfriend’s friends are doing! Michaela replied sharply.
  -Ok, why don’t we sit and watch a movie?! Oana came between Andrew and Michaela.
  Oana, Andrew and Laura sit on the couch while Helena went to the kitchen with Michaela, saying that they will make something hot to drink. Helena searched for a big pot and put seen cups on the table.
  -Why seven? We are only five. Michaela said looking puzzled at the red haired witch.
  -You forgot Oana’s parents. Helena took a plant from her pocket and put it in the pot, along with water and sugar. Firstly, I will make tea for Andrew and Oana’s parents with this special plant. Then I will make another one for us.
  -Why? Michaela asked confused.
  -This plant makes you sleepy after you consume it. It will be easier for us to get out the house.
  -Good thinking; Michaela said with a grin on her face, while watching the water boil.
  When the tea was ready, Michaela went to serve the parents with Helena’s special plant. Helena made sure that Andrew took the right cup, otherwise one of them would have fall asleep by accident.
  An hour later, Michaela went to check the adults. They were sound asleep in their bedroom. Andrew was feeling tired, but he went to the bathroom.
  The girls took this chance to grab their luggage and went outside to call the dragons.
  -What are you doing?! Andrew was standing in the front door, awake and surprised at the sight of the dragons.
  -Busted! Michaela said looking at Oana.
  -Andrew, let me explain! Oana tried to calm him down.
  -Blondie, tell him the truth, it is almost midnight! Laura said looking at her watch.
  Having no other choice, Oana took Andrew with her on the blue dragon and until they reached the Wise Elder’s home, the girls told him the true story. At first, Andrew didn’t believe them, but seeing himself flying on a real dragon’s back what else could he think?
  At the sight of the unwelcome guest, the Wise Elder wasn’t pleased. Oana explained what happened at her house and why they couldn’t let Andrew alone with the sleeping parents.
  -We are sorry, Wise Elder, but what else could we do?
  -I see. The old man replied looking at Andrew. Young man, you are aware that these girls must travel on a different galaxy?
  -Yes, sir. They’ve told me everything on our way here.
  Without any more to say, the Wise Elder took his walking stick with the dragon head and cast a golden portal on one of the room’s walls. Rafael and Gavriel took the girls on the other side of the portal, after Oana kissed Andrew goodbye and off they go, along with the dragons.
  Now Andrew was alone with the old wizard. He didn’t noticed how he got spelled to forget everything he saw in that night. The next morning, he woke up with a headache, so as Oana’s parents.
  -Andrew, where are the girls? Oana’s father, Nick, asked worried.
  -I couldn’t find them anywhere! Oana’s mother, Florence, said worried as well.
  -I don’t know; Andrew answered rubbing his tired eyes. I remember the red haired one, Helena I think, served me a cup of tea and after that I fall asleep.
  Poor ones, they had no idea that the four girls went to Wiearth. But it was for their safety to not know that.

  The bad news was that the Dark Lord found out about the witches departure from the local news:
  “Four girls, that lived in different cities and that had nothing in common with one another, seemed to disappear without a trace. Their disparate families are begging for help or clues in finding them. Here are their photos, so please ladies and gentlemen if you see any one of them or all of them, call 112 immediately (112 is the emergency number in Romania).”
  -So, our little friends are hiding from us! But where? The Dark Lord asked himself, terrified by the thought that the Element Girls found a cure for his curse.
  The Wise Elder was taking all his magical objects and his powerful books with spells. His plan changed a little, but it was still the same. While the six teenagers where on Wiearth to find a cure, he wanted to challenge the Dark Lord in a battle, alone.
  If he would survive, he will make sure that Damian Coldblood will be locked for the rest of his life in one of Wiearth’s most secured prison. If he was defeated, then the Element Girls would better be ready for the battle of their lives.
  Either way, things look bad for the people on planet Earth. With the Clypeum Lunaris in his hands, the Dark Lord could do deadly damage on the only living planet in the Milky Way Galaxy.
  The best thing to do is to hope that the four witches can regain their powers and defeat the evil wizard in time.

Chapter 14 - The Wise Elder vs. The Dark Lord

After the four witches departed, the Wise Elder didn’t waste any more time and took his great books and powerful magic objects to defeat the Dark Lord; while the Element Girls were busy finding a cure for their powers. He send Gavriel and Rafael with them, to make sure that no one will try to stop him.
  Damian Coldblood a.k.a. the Dark Lord and Florin David a.k.a. the Wise Elder were also element wizards. The Dark Lord was a water controlling wizard and the Wise Elder was a fire wizard, reason why he helped Michaela the most in her training.
  The Dark Lord arrived in Bucharest city and sent his crows to search for his ‘dear friend’. The crows found the fire wizard outside the city, in a plane place. He was waiting with calm, holding in his right hand his walking stick with dragon head. He let his left arm free for the same reason as Michaela’s blouse had only a sleeve on the right arm: the left arm is closer to the hearth, therefore, the flames that burst from it can be easily manipulated with that arm.
  Unlike the Wise Elder, Michaela was right handed, therefore it is clear why she had problems in controlling her spells. Usually, on Wiearth, all the fire witches and wizards are left handed. So this leads to the question: Why is Michaela the fire witch if she’s right handed?
  The answer to that will have to wait. For now, let us observe the epic battle.
  After the Dark Lord arrived to face his opponent since they both can remember, he said trying to sound polite:
  -How long it has been since we last saw each other, Florin?
  -Since you start being obsessed to destroy planet Earth because of our ancestors past!
  -And my reason is right!
  -Wrong, we should learn from our history or it will repeat itself again.
  -Oh, shut up and die, old fool! Gladium glacies (ice sword)!
  -Flammeum gladium (fire sword)! I heard that my pupil, Michaela, managed to melt your sword.
  -When she had her powers, and her friends. But now I have all four elements. Ventus scutum (wind shield)! Arma Terrae (earth armor)!
  With these spells, the evil wizard had not only an ice sword, but also a wind shield and an earth hard armor to protect him. The Wise Elder used his dragon head with pearl in his mouth and made his fire sword stronger. The flames color changed from orange-red into white and blue, like the ones burning when you turn on the stove.
  The two wizards fought with all their weapons, spells and strength. After a long time of launching blasts, rejecting attacks and dodging spells, the Wise Elder was tired. His forehead was full of drops of sweat and his old body was trembling from all the effort.
  -If you wish to die fast, tell me where are your little witches? The Dark Lord asked demanding.
  -I will never tell you, even if I die! Artificium bullet (firework bullet)!
  From his left palm, many bullets that explode as the fireworks hit the Dark Lord, setting his black clothes on fire. The fire was extinguished when the evil wizard’s body became all water. He then took his human form and froze his opponent:
  -Sepulcrum glacies (iced coffin)!
  The Wise Elder’s body was covered with thick ice, which temperature was far below zero degrees. His walking stick with dragon head felt aside him in time, otherwise it would have been blocked in the ice coffin along with its owner.
  -I will take this as a winning prize! The Dark Lord said with an evil smile and without mercy he summoned all four elements making a huge sphere from all of them. On the outside the sphere was water and wind; and on the inside was earth and fire. Time to say good-bye, my opponent. But don’t feel sad,
