EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TMPSOA 13 (and blogger of the week.)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I've finished it AT LAST! Part 13 of the epic tale of Alia LotusPetal (stolen by that stupid Roslyn idiot) is now done! There are going to be, like, only 2 or 3 parts before the series ends, to remember to read it up!


Oh but first--


*everyone drops their bookmarks*


Lolz.


I have to announce the (highly delayed) blogger of the week!


I am so proud to say, it's THE WISE THEURGIST! :D :D :D He mentioned my blog on his. He even has a label called The Wizard101 Addict. Congrats, Airdur!


Ok, now what you've all been waiting for...


*keep holding on plays as opening music*


Last time, on The Most Powerful Spells of All...








She jumped for him, but it was too late. They were gone. Alia then just lay there, still reaching out for him. "No, anyone but Cody," Alia whispered, getting up and brushing the dirt off her clothes.

"That's it, Sabrina," Alia said, turning to Sabrina, everyone listening.

"It's tonight."

"You mean--"

"I'm going to steal my powers back."

The crowded Commons were silent. The wind blew fiercely, making Alia's hair blow dramatically. "By tonight, maybe longer,"

"I am going to defeat the greatest threat of all. The master of the spiral. The most cruel man we all know."

"Malistaire Drake."





Today, on The Most Powerful Spells of All...


WILL Alia LotusPetal and Cody DragonRider EVER stop acting so awkward around each other and get together already?


WILL Alia and Cody find the Draconian army and destroy them?


WILL the Locket Gang destroy Malistaire for good?


WILL Sabrina ever stop daydreaming at Triton avenue?


And what you've all been wondering... WILL Malistaire find out about the sneaking around Alia and Cody have been doing in Dragonspyre?


FIND OUT IN...


*adventurous music plays in the background to the tune of Keep Holding On*


THE MOST POWERFUL SPELLS... OF ALL.


Part Thirteen: The Draconian Army.


Alia and Cody tiptoed quietly over to the portal to The Atheneum. They looked all around as carefully as possible during the walk, and there were no draconians to be found, luckily.

Alia gasped as they came upon the very spot the portal was located. All that was left of their way back home had now turned into midnight black ashes. A note fluttered in the breeze as Alia stared at the disgusting rubble, and Cody caught the note.







Alia quickly took a look at the small piece of paper.

It read, in scribbled cursive:
Worst of luck, prisoner and thief! ~M.D.
Alia breathed heavily reading the note in horror. There was no turning back now. "Malistaire's guards are probably chasing after us at this second." Cody pointed out. "We have to think of a way out, and fast..."

"How does he know we're here? Goodness, this could turn into a disaster if he finds us!" Alia managed to uneasily say. She then clenched her new Oyotomi's Jade Blade tighter. That's when she realized.

She had her powers back.

Alia hit her forehead in embarrassment. "Oh my gosh, Cody, I'm seriously not used to these powers yet, am I?"

Cody confusedly gave Alia a strange look. "What powers?"

Then realizing his mistake, Cody's confused expression turned into a nervous grin. "Oh, THOSE powers. Heh."

Alia rolled her eyes as they both teleported to the Basilica.

Alia and Cody were finally back in the Basilica at last. Alia smiled with ecstasy. "We're almost out of this dreaded prison of a world... Thank Bartelby!" she said. 

Cody laughed shortly, and then they both realized they had something to take care of.

Alia gave him a determined look as she commanded, "Cody, you check Dragonspyre Academy for the Army. I'll check the Atheneum. We can both meet in the Necropolis and search together if we can't find them. If all of that blunders, we will have to check MALISTAIRE'S LAIR."

"You planned this WHEN?" Cody asked with the same strange expression on his face.

"I'm supposed to save the Spiral. I'm naturally fast and accurate at planning things."

Cody smiled weakly. "Uh... ok."

Then they both ran towards the portals, and jumped in eagerly.

Alia frustratedly stared up at the sky. It was a dark, midnight black with stars scattered everywhere. Alia wondered, "How much time is there before someone notices I'm gone?" To make Alia better from all this confusion, as she walked towards the Tower Archives, she thought about her warm and cozy bed at home.
She thought about Elizabeth, and how she never gave up, and was confident that she would someday reunite with her friend in Krokotopia.
Then Alia imagined the image of her mother, Rachel LotusBlossom. Sure, she got on Alia's nerves sometimes, but then her mother was always there for her.

Alia got to imagining her father as she walked up the ramp. Her dad was usually really calm, but always made sure the family was safe, even if it meant becoming furious.

Sean. Sean wasn't exactly the greatest older brother in the world, but he could be nice (if he wanted to). Alia made a mental note that he would be useful while battling Malistaire, him being level 48, now caught up to his studies in Necromancy.

As Alia walked towards the great, colossal doors, she could have sworn she heard whispers behind her. Alia quickly twirled around to find midnight black ashes float through the breeze.

Alia was very frightened by this time. Suddenly, as the wind howled stronger, she noticed a small, ripped piece of parchment fluttering as if it were a butterfly with broken wings at her feet. Slowly, she picked up the small note.

Her eyes grew wide as she read the note.

Don't think I have no clue where you are, LotusPetal! ~M.D.

Alia was more frightened than ever now. Alia could get captured by some Draconians in a split second. Or ghosts would try to steal her new found Grandmaster powers. Even a few Dragonspyre spectres could throw her in the same dungeon Cody was tortured in.


Alia gulped as she opened the huge doors.

She slowly and cautiously peeked out from behind the door, sweating not because of the heat, but because of such a nervous and disturbed feeling.

Finally, she sighed, closing the door behind her. Alia wiped the sweat off her forehead as she closed her eyes calmly.

As Alia slowly opened her eyes, she saw a little blur of white, red, and black.

She instantly became alert and opened her eyes as quick as possible.

Alia almost dropped her sword in shock as she stared at almost 20 Skeletal Pirates. But these looked tougher than the ones on Unicorn Way.

"OH GOODNESS." Alia whispered, gripping her sword tightly.

Meanwhile, Cody was slowly walking around The Necropolis. He was thinking. Thinking VERY hard.

No, no, no. It wasn't about his friends or his family. It wasn't about this whole 'saving the spiral' thing. It wasn't about his new powers, the dangers ahead, the broken down buildings there, not anything of that sort.

He was thinking about Alia.

Cody ran through the shopping district happily. After such a long time, he was finally a wizard of the Death school. A rather gifted one, too. Cody just ran merrily throughout the place, feeling so free after years and years.He smiled as he passed the interesting shop displays; piggles, wands, robes, amulets, and other items of all sorts. He felt better than he had ever felt before. Little did he know that his world wasn't very peaceful.
Cody ran right past Elik's Edge, noticing that there should really be a wall up there. He smiled, whooshing behind the buildings.
Suddenly, he came across a girl around his age, apparently a Theurgist, laying in the grass. He smiled and said, "Hello! My name is Cody!"
Suddenly, he realized black ashes laying all around the girl. That was when he noticed her eyes were closed and she was barely breathing.
As he stared at her in horror, he also noted some things about her, hoping to remember them. She wore a large hat, light green and trimmed white, with blue gems on the uppermost part of her hat. Her robe was a long, elegant, green and white robe with a blue diamond hanging from her skirt, and a yellow star stitched on the upper area of her robe. Her boots were quite simple; they were mainly regular light green and white boots with two stripes near the top of the boots.
That was the first time Cody actually realized he may like this girl.
He was still concerned about her being unconscious  on the ground. He just knew for sure that she wasn't just asleep.
Cody then got the brilliant idea of ASKING SOMEONE FOR HELP.
He quickly ran over to the Headmaster's tower.
"Headmaster Ambrose, sir, there is a wizard laying unconscious in the Shopping District!"
He was instantly alert, and Cody led him to the wizard. The Headmaster was completely shocked at the wizard who was laying there.
"Who is that, Headmaster?" Cody curiously questioned.
"That is Alia Lotuspetal." he said, still deeply shocked.
Soon enough, Alia had been sent away to the hospital. Cody was honored with a rather creative badge, Savior of a Life Wizard, and became an instant Adept. Everything was seeming to be going well.
Cody had finally decided to visit this girl in the Wizard City hospital.
From the moment he saw her, he instantly felt a little bit better. She was probably the reason that all this good stuff happened to him. And from what he had heard, she was a really nice person. He hoped that soon, very very soon, they could be friends.
Suddenly, his parents discovered him with the Theurgist. He argued with them that he believed all schools can be friends. He probably screamed a few regretful things to his parents, but the worst thing imaginable happened.
His parents put  a charm on him so he would never be able to see a life wizard.
But Cody being his clever self, he found out an antidote, which wouldn't activate until HOURS.
Eventually, Cody and Alia LotusPetal reunited. They were only friends for such a short time, then they started to slightly dislike each other. Well, Alia was the one who did the most disliking. But Cody, meanwhile, began to imagine him and Alia as best friends.
And there they were right then. Friends at last, and maybe even best friends. But Cody could just feel something deep within his mind. He thought he could sense something more trying to wriggle out and into his thoughts.
But was it even possible?


 Cody sighed as he opened the doors to the Drake Hatchery. He considered fleeing right then, but he couldn't. He was a Grandmaster now.

And Grandmasters were brave.

Cody slowly stepped through the doors, and gulped. The coast was clear. Taking a special potion, he disguised himself as a Skeletal Warrior. (Well, he didn't know what would be IN the Drake Hatchery!)

Trying to be as silent as a mouse, he scurried along the sidewalks with caution.


Meanwhile, Alia was blindly swinging her sword back and forth at the tough skeletal pirates. "YOU...STUPID...PIRATES...LEAVE...ME...ALONE..." Alia grunted under her breath. As Alia continued the seemingly endless swinging motion (which seemed to work quite well, actually) she began to chat over to Cody.

Cody nearly jumped when he heard Alia's voice.

"CODY! Are you there?"

Frightened someone might notice the young wizard in disguise, he scurried behind an old, broken down building of some sort.

"Alia? Are you okay?" Cody whispered over. "You sound really worried!"

"WELL OF COURSE I'M WORRIED!" Alia angrily replied, making about 3 more skeletons collapse. "I'M BEING ATTACKED BY PIRATE SKELETONS!"

Cody was very confused. "Aren't those supposed to have 95 health and live on Unicorn Way?" he questioned slowly, trying to keep his voice down.

"No, Cody. These have 950 health. THEY'RE DEADLY!" Alia said, pausing for a moment, but then realizing a very angry skeletal pirate running towards her. In one swift movement, she kicked him right across the middle, making his ribcage fall apart.

"Alia, you're a GRANDMASTER NOW." Cody whispered, trying to sound enthusiastic. "You have Centaur now! With your spells now, you could wipe those things out like," Cody snapped loudly. 

"That!"

Then Cody gulped as he saw the draconian behind him.

"Um, Alia, I'm gonna have to talk to you later..." Cody muttered through the corner of his mouth.

Alia was quickly alarmed and disappointed. "CODY!" she yelled as she wiped out the last skeletal pirate. 

But Cody was already in battle with the Draconian that had practiced fire magic.

Cody wore an evil grin on his face as he cast a Wraith at the horrid creature. It sucked out the health of the foreign monster partially. Cody decided to finish this thing off with a Scarecrow before the Draconian could even try to attack him with a fire blast.

"Wow, that was quick and easy..." Cody said.

But then he spotted a tiny, neat card laying where the Draconian had perished. Cody picked it up, and read it aloud with his eyes growing bigger with every sentence.

"Hello, newcomer of the Draconian Army! We are pleased to have you in our league of powerful creatures.

Why have we asked you to join this army? Because we have acknowledged the fact that you are a very ominous Draconian indeed, and though our task didn't seem difficult at first, we were thinking we needed to wipe out a young, powerless, former Theurgist. Now she has retrieved her powers mysteriously, and we will stop at nothing to try to defeat her.

This particular girl is Alia LotusPetal. Yes, the girl who is supposed to save the spiral from me, Malistaire Drake. You will stop at nothing to try to defeat her and her little boyfriend (Cody felt a little bit awkward at this part) who was previously my prisoner, but she freed him.

Tomorrow morning, to let us know that you are arriving, please slip this card under the door, and knock 7 times. The password is "Dragon's breath." Our secret hideout is located in the Labyrinth, in a secret room where there are tents and a campfire. Please do  NOT let this note fall into the wrong hands! You could be immediately executed in this case.

~M.D.

Below this note was a small, detailed map of the Labyrinth, with an X labeled over the spot where the Draconian Army was located.

Cody then realized this was the key to the Draconian Army.

Alia was gaping in amazement at the huge, endless towers that lay before her. "It'll take me DAYS to find the Draconian army at this rate!" she thought out loud in disappointment. 

But suddenly, Alia heard Cody's voice.

"Alia, teleport to me right now. No excuses. I'll explain after you arrive."

Alia immediately knew this had to be important by the tone in Cody's voice. As quick as any Grandmaster could, she teleported directly to her friend.

Soon enough, Alia found herself with Cody (whose transformation had worn off) in front of a mysterious building in the Labyrinth.

Cody slowly whispered to her, "When I had to stop talking to you, a Draconian was attacking me. The certain Draconian dropped a note when I defeated him."

Cody handed Alia the note, and she began to read it. Alia's face turned red with embarrassment at the certainly awkward part.

"Um... We should probably attack now." Alia tried to convince Cody.

"No," was Cody's quick reply. "Alia, we have to try to look more fierce. More ominous. More dangerous."

"We need Grandmaster equipment."

Alia gasped. "Cody, that could take weeks to farm! We don't have that kind of time!"

"I know, but when I was confused about our powers, I was staring at a pile of clothing close to the Forum. I quickly noticed it was level 50 gear!"

"But how will we get back, Cody? Our portal--"

"I know about the portal! There's another way." Cody snapped back. Alia became slightly irritated. "At the end of the Crucible, there's a door leading to Dragonspyre Academy. The Crucible is in the Necropolis. We can make it there and get our gear!"

Alia pondered this plan. "But Cody, what if we were to get noticed?" Alia questioned, growing impatient.

"Well--"

"I'VE GOT IT!" Alia quickly yelled. Cody became worried and put his finger over his lips, signaling for Alia to be a little bit quieter.

Alia whispered her plan. "I get A's in potions class. I know how to create almost every potion known to man. If I could sneak into one of these houses and use a crafting station, I could probably make us disguises as a creature from the Crucible!"

As Cody opened his mouth to ask a question, Alia seemed to already know what he was going to ask.

"We could find a Dragonspyre Encyclopedia, and figure out what kind of creatures roam the Crucible! It's foolproof!"

And once more, as Cody opened his mouth to ask another question, Alia answered it once more.

"And our source is THERE!" she said, pointing to a huge, convenient, broken down building with a sign that said "Potion Crafting Store and Dragonspyre Informational Book Store." Alia ran over speedily, and Cody blinked and stated, "Well, that was convenient." He then marked a spot there and followed after the strangely giddy girl.

By the time Cody had arrived in the building, Alia was already crafting away a potion with a very huge-looking encyclopedia of all the creatures in Dragonspyre.

Alia sure was skilled at this. By the time Cody had walked up to his friend,  there was a bubbling yellow potion shoved in his face. Alia grinned with excitement, and her sea green eyes had a bright expression, as seen through her protective goggles.

"This potion," Alia began, Cody starting to get a little creeped out by Alia's eagerness. "Will transform us into ugly versions of Minotaurs called "Horned Barbarians." Rank 7 Elite. No one will mess with us, and no one will notice us either!" Alia handed Cody a small glass vial with the bubbling, gooey, yellow concoction. 

"I also added a special ingredient that allows us to actually roam the streets instead of the sidewalks without getting pulled in!" Cody opened the little vial and sniffed the strange potion. It smelled like onions, watermelons, and raw eggs. Cody almost vomited.

"Drink up!" Alia said, drinking all the potion from her vial. Cody was surprised at how easily she could drink the disgusting potion. The young Necromancer made a sick face, and drunk the potion.

Cody gagged slightly after he was finished, but found himself becoming a very very ugly Minotaur. The first thing he asked was ,"Alia, how can you stomach that stuff?"

Alia giggled and replied, "Another thing they teach you in potions class is to be able to stomach any potion in the world. All it takes is saliva and speediness!"

Cody was officially creeped out. Very very creeped out. Alia motioned for him to follow her out the door, and they were soon enough at the doors of the Crucible.

Alia, who had now lost that slight insanity, was looking up at the sky hopefully, watching the small edge of dawn beyond all the stars.

She quickly opened the doors to the Crucible, and walked slowly in.

Cody followed not too soon after, and they walked along the street. They both began to whisper to each other. Alia, who had perfectly memorized the map of the Crucible in the encyclopedia continued her plan with Cody.

"Now, there's a small section coming up with no creatures roaming. We can sneak in there, and before anyone can notice, we do the invisibility trick." Alia whispered, keeping a close eye for any suspicious minotaurs or draconians.

"So the one where you teleport home and unequip it before you can see anything disappear?" Cody verified.

"Yea, that one." Alia replied. "After that, when we're almost back to the streets, we teleport to each other and sneak back onto the streets. No one will notice, hopefully!" the determined Theurgist concluded.

Once they had finally come across the small piece of free land, they did what they had planned to do, and it had worked out surprisingly smoothly. Within minutes, they could clearly see the door to Dragonspyre Academy.

Though, suddenly, they were confronted by a guard.

"HALT!" he screeched, pointing to Cody and Alia who were walking side by side.

Alia and Cody were both very alarmed, and knew this man must have been assigned by Malistaire to search for the wizards. They both were hoping so much, so so so so so much, that they wouldn't be caught after coming this far.

The man suddenly grinned and said, "Why, you two shouldn't be walking side by side! It's supposed to be in a scrambled sort of order," he said, to much of Alia and Cody's relief.

Alia and Cody parted, and made sure to keep eye contact with each other as they walked towards the door.

As soon as the man's back was turned, they quickly (but as quietly as they could) rushed through the doors, and into the ruined academy.

Alia's face lit up with glee as she saw the small pile of Grandmaster clothing. The two friends of opposing schools dashed over to the clothing pile.

Cody's uniform was black with a white trim. His sword looked so mighty and powerful, he was confident it could probably wipe out almost anything.

Alia was so excited when she saw her grandmaster clothing. It was dyed her favorite colors; white with a light green trim. She felt powerful in the amazing equipment, and loved the way green leaves fell from her amazing sword.

Alia and Cody looked down to the pile of other Grandmaster clothing. Suddenly, they realized the schools for the powerful clothes.

They said the schools out loud, "Myth, Death, Fire, Ice, Storm, Balance."

Then, Cody caught sight of a small note stuck in the sleeve of the Ice clothes.

I considered you would need some more powerful clothing after I put a special charm on your previous powers to make you Grandmasters. You and your friends are going to need this very much. Best of luck, my most successful pupil.
~Merle Ambrose, former headmaster of the Ravenwood Academy of Magical Arts

They both pondered why he had added grandmaster Balance gear. They couldn't think of any friend that was Balance. Maybe they would meet a new friend along the way? Who knew?

But then Alia's eyes filled with tears of joy. She knew her headmaster was okay, she absolutely knew it. And now he had helped them, and given them such amazing powers and clothing. 

Cody though ruined the emotional moment for Alia by grabbing her hand and teleporting to the Labyrinth.

Alia and Cody both reviewed their genius plan they had come up with in only one night.

"Ok, we will do what the note says, and attack them as many as we can at a time. When the last Draconian dies, we return home and in the morning we tell our friends. After that, we come back here with all our friends, camp out here for as many nights as we need, and plan from there with everyone." Cody whispered.

Alia blushed as she realized they were still both holding each other's hand, and they quickly let go. As soon as they dealt with it, they gave each other a serious nod. 

Alia walked up to the door, and gulped as beads of sweat formed on her forehead. With a more determined than nervous expression on her face. She quickly slipped the note under the door, and knocked seven times.

Alia and Cody stood there for a few minutes, and almost jumped at the voice at the door.

"Password."

Alia became very nervous then. The voice sounded so tough and frightening.

But Alia was the destined one. Nothing scared her now.

Her expression quickly turned from nervous to serious again.

"Dragon's Breath." she said loudly, kicking down the door.

She soon faced the ugliest draconian she had ever seen, engulfed in tough looking armor. Alia wasn't nervous anymore. She knew she could face this thing.

"Surprised?" Alia asked, unleashing a huge attack with her sword. The attack was in fact so strong, that it punctured the armor deep enough for it to crack, and fall to pieces.

The Draconian now only wore some armor he had for extra protection underneath. He quickly became ready. "Alia LotusPetal, eh? Master will be pleased to find you dead." the leader said, preparing to battle the girl with his dual swords.

Cody quickly ran in and faced the largest group of Draconians he had ever seen. They were all about twice as tough as the one he had faced in the Drake Hatchery, but Cody knew this would soon be an easy defeat.

As Alia swiped her sword back and forth, blocking the attacks from the head of the army, Cody yelled over, "I'll deal with these guys! You battle their leader, and we'll both be finished in no time!"

"Got it!" Alia yelled back, making a dangerous slicing motion with her sword. Almost slicing the dangerous draconian's hand off, she followed the attack by punching him in the stomach repeatedly and swiftly.

Cody, meanwhile, was casting Scarecrow after Scarecrow. The Draconians were being wiped out faster than a wizard with a permanent mount and boots that increased speed. He was seriously getting the hang of this whole "Grandmaster" thing. It was a total breeze. A total breeze, until he traced a symbol and nothing happened.

Cody gasped. He finally came to the conclusion that he had used up all his mana!

Alia, meanwhile, was struggling at doing only a swordfight. She quickly traced a life symbol in the air, and cast a Centaur. As its arrow weakened the Draconian, Alia realized a huge advantage she had.

This thing was Death.

As Alia cast many different Life spells, Cody yelled over, "Alia! I ran out of Mana! You'd better hurry up and finish that thing off!" Alia's eyes widened, and she paused in the middle of tracing the leafy symbol. Looking over to Cody, she said, "I'll be there soon!"

Suddenly, she felt searing pain in her arm, and it felt as if it was burning with pain.

 Instantly, she realized the Draconian had wounded her arm in one quick movement. Fighting back tears as hard as she could, Alia summoned ten Centaurs at once. The Draconian was then very scared, and Alia commanded them to shoot their arrows.

Within seconds, the great general was pinned up against the wall, without any armor, completely weak.

Alia fell on her knees and clutched her wounded arm in agony. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she fought back the pain. Cody had discovered that physical instead of magical attacks with his sword worked pretty good, and he had wiped out the entire army soon enough.

And then he noticed Alia.

Cody Dragonrider had ran as fast as he could to Alia's side. "ALIA!" he yelled.

"Are you... Okay?" he asked Alia as she cried more.

Alia looked at Cody with her bright, sea green eyes and replied, "I don't really know..." through her tears.

Cody was very alarmed now. His best friend, the one who was supposed to save the spiral, was now so wounded that she was sobbing in pain.

Cody assured Alia then, "Everything will be okay. We have to get you back home." He then summoned his Black Stallion, and helped Alia onto it.

Alia questioned through her tears, "But what am I going to tell my mom and dad?"

Cody pondered for a while. He knew that after her parents found out, they'd never be able to see each other ever again. Alia and Cody would be separated for life.

Cody could NOT let that happen. 

Suddenly, something in the corner of the room caught his eye.

He replied after a minute's pondering, "You won't have to tell them anything."

Alia was very confused, and was still sobbing as Cody grabbed the small vial.

"This vial is labeled 'Emergency Healing Potion.'" he informed, getting back up on the horse with Alia. "I bet that this could heal your arm." He slowly poured the potion all over Alia's large wound, and watched as it affected her arm in a positive way.

Alia didn't know what to think, really. As the potion healed her arm with a bright light coming from it, the pain ceased and Alia felt the tears falling from her eyes stop, like a shower just turned off. Alia gasped and looked at Cody. She grinned and whispered, "Thank you."

Cody smiled back and said,"Apparently, I'm really good at saving you. No problem, Alia." Alia laughed and sat up straight on the horse as they rode back into Wizard City right as the sun rose up into the sky.

Before the two wizards returned to their dorms, they said their goodbyes. 

Alia repeated, "Thank you so much for saving me... Again." They both laughed. Cody had seriously saved Alia a lot.

Then, Alia hugged Cody. Not much of a hug, just a friendly one. Though, Cody was quite shocked. He thought it felt really... Good. As they ended the hug, they both waved goodbye as they stepped into their dorms.

Alia quickly changed into her nightgown. No, not the one she had arrived to Dragonspyre in, a different one. A nice, clean, NOT covered in dirt nightgown. She quickly crawled into bed silently, and dozed off.

Sort of. Then Sean's alarm clock went off.

Sean moaned again, and Alia grinned with satisfaction. She realized she WAS hungry, and decided to join Sean for breakfast.

As Alia gobbled up her eggs, Rachel LotusBlossom asked, "Did you two have a good nights sleep?" Alia quickly replied, "I sure did." and looked down at her healed arm.

Sean replied, "I dreamed I was riding ponies into Malistaire's Lair. Then he exploded and turned into a huge rainbow." Alia and her mother laughed, and Alia commented, "I guess you're over your whole Malistaire fear."


Meanwhile, in Malistaire's Lair...

"THEY WHAT???" he screamed at the draconian servant.

"Yes, your majesty, they wiped out the whole army! There are no other Draconians in the spiral as skilled as those ones, you know!"

Malistaire Drake knocked over a huge vase in anger, and his eyes turned a blood red.

"So... LotusPetal thinks she can wipe out a whole entire army and be safe, huh?" he whispered.

Then, an evil look came into his eyes, and he concluded:

"Let the good versus evil battle begin..."



EEEEEEEEEEEE! So how did you like it?

AND WILL ALIA SURVIVE THE DRACONIAN ARMY?????

THE MOST POWERFUL SPELLS OF ALL! (episode 12)

*opening theme plays*



"You're doing WHAT?"


"AAH!" Alia yelled, falling off the bridge into the freezing cold commons pond. She was dripping wet, and looked very unhappy.

"Err, sorry," Mary IceBlossom said, helping Alia up.

"Anyway, Sabrina just told me the news, rudely as usual. So, YOU'RE DOING WHAT?"

"Stealing my powers back!" Alia said, taking a seat back on the edge of Rainbow Bridge. "You can't! It's too dangerous!" Mary protested. "Look, are you my mom or something?" Alia said, standing up. "I am stealing my powers back, no matter what." "Okay, but don't come crying to me when you die," Mary said, her arms crossed. "If I'm dead, how can I come crying to you?" Alia said, walking off with Mary to Sabrina's favorite place, Triton Avenue.

Along the way, Alia noticed someone being scolded by Malistaire in the Shopping District. Someone very familiar...

"Mister MythBlade, how do you explain this new style of dyeing your clothes?" Malistaire asked. "Kevin MythBlade!" Alia mouthed.

"I dunno, I just miss Conjuration so I found some old yellow dye and--"

"Decided to make your NECROMANCER clothing black and yellow?"

Malistaire's eyes turned a furious red. Kevin trembled in fear. Mary just shook her head. Malistaire noticed the two girls, and scowled. "RUN OFF OR YOU'LL LOSE YOUR POWERS TOO, ICEBLOSSOM!" Mary ran off quickly. "As for YOU, LotusPetal," he said, for Alia still stood there. "Your powers are gone, your access to the Secret School is gone, and your family is being treated miserably. All that's left is to KILL you."

Alia's sea green eyes grew wide. She ran off quickly, when someone grabbed her arm. Alia shrieked as she was pulled into a bush. "SHHH!" a familiar voice said. Alia noticed Mary's short blue hair, and saw her finger up to her whitish purple lips.

"MISTER MYTHBLADE, I AM LETTING YOU OFF WITH A WARNING," a booming voice yelled. Alia realized it belonged to Malistaire. "AS LONG AS YOU DYE YOUR CLOTHING BLACK, WHITE, RED, OR SILVER AGAIN!" "Y-yes Headmaster D-Drake!" Kevin's frightened voice replied. He ran off, sweating and looking like he was about to cry. Alia chuckled quietly, and watched as Malistaire teleported to his Dragonspyre office.

Mary realized that they needed Kevin to help save the Spiral. "Alia, you have the locket?" she asked. "Yep," Alia replied, holding up a triangular silver locket with a single Peridot in the center. Mary gave Alia a thumbs up as she ran off to give the locket to Kevin.

"Kevin!" Alia said, running after him. "What?" Kevin asked spinning around. "I think I've seen you before..." Kevin said hesitantly, looking at Alia's no stat Celestial outfit, dyed black and white. "I'm Alia, the one you SPIED on!" Alia said, her arms crossed. More fear grew in Kevin's eyes.

"UM, I WAS JUST WALKING BY AND SAW YOU SO I--"

"Take this," Alia said, tossing a confused Kevin his locket.

"You need to help me save the Spiral from Malistaire. We need a Conjurer, well, former Conjurer, and you were the only Myth person we knew," Alia explained. "Well, um, okay?" Kevin said very confused as he put the locket around his neck. "What's with the locket anyway?" he asked as Alia walked away. "Your Myth spells power will increase. Now, I need to go talk to Sabrina, if you don't mind," she said, walking away once more. Kevin shrugged, and walked towards the Dye Shop.

Mary and Alia quickly ran off to Triton Avenue. It was still purple everywhere, and Haunted Minions, Rotting Fodders, and Scarlet Screamers still roamed. Sabrina loved it there, and almost every day she would sit on the top of the ramps, and stare out into the universe, dreaming for a very long time. She could be so deep in concentration, that she couldn't hear anything. All she would do in this trance was hum the same mysterious song, and keep on daydreaming. Or, so she thought she was daydreaming.


Right now, in Sabrina's head, this was going on.

Sabrina was in a strange cave. There was spooky music playing at the end. She ran with all her might, and sang along with the song, as if being forced. It was the same thing over and over again, "...The snake's lightning can kill, but the caster's chances are weak... Come to me if it is your own power that you seek..."  It seemed like the end was getting farther as she ran along, sweat running down her forehead. The Scarecrows whispered her name quietly each, but all together it was a dreadful chant. "Sabrina... Sabrina... Sabrina..." She ran faster and faster, more sweat forming everywhere on her face. The beads fell to the ground  with loud splashes. Sabrina kept on running even more faster, and the song went faster and got louder. "THE SNAKE'S LIGHTNING CAN KILL, BUT THE CASTER'S CHANCES ARE WEAK..." Sabrina was feeling light headed. Every noise was booming in her ears. "SABRINA... SABRINA..." "SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!" "...COME TO ME IF IT IS YOUR OWN POWER THAT YOU SEEK..."

"SABRINA!"

"WOAH! WHA-What?" Sabrina said, rubbing her aching head. Alia and Mary stared down at her oddly, as if she were a new creature of some sort at the pet shop. "Sorry, I-I don't know what keeps on happening to me here." "It's okay," Alia said, helping Sabrina up, along with Mary. Though, Sabrina wasn't very happy Mary was there. "You can let go now, Mary," Sabrina said grumpily.

The three chatted for a while, and actually had a good conversation. In fact, Mary and Sabrina were almost friends, when they heard a loud clap of thunder.


"It's Malistaire, get to the Commons!" Alia said, running off with Mary and Sabrina.

They found Malistaire atop his cloud as usual. His eyes were furiously red again. As soon as every wizard was cramped into the commons, Malistaire said this.


"It's a new holiday today. It comes once a month, and I have just made it up. Witches and Wizards, every second Wednesday of the month, it is TORTURE DAY!"

Everyone all of a sudden stood up straight. Malistaire laughed, and continued. "I will pick a random student who has been acting horribly, and do something terrible to them." He smiled and evil smile. I crossed my fingers, thinking
"Please don't pick me, please don't pick me, please don't pick me!" Malistaire finally yelled,

"NEELA LIGHTNINGCASTER!" Alia sighed in relief.


"That's my cousin," Sabrina informed Alia.

All eyes were on Neela, a tall girl with short brown hair. "Me?" she asked bravely. Malistaire smiled a sweet yet fake smile. "Yes, you Miss LightningCaster." The smile disappeared and his expression was furious, while his eyes glowed deep red. "NOW GET UP HERE!" Neela jumped up, frightened. She ran up as quick as she could to the cloud. "I know ALL of your fears. Neela, why don't you share what you did on Monday, March the eighth?" Neela had a nervous look in her eyes, and rocked back and forth on her feet nervously as she told the audience. "I learned how to do Banshee, Headmaster." "Yes, and what did you ask Professor Dworgyn in the middle of class?" Malistaire asked, with another suspicious sweet smile. "I asked him if I could go to the bathroom, I think," Neela said, looking up suspiciously. "He said I could, for five minutes." "And how long did you take?" Malistaire asked.

"Six, but--"


"DON'T 'BUT' ME!"

The audience gasped, along with Alia.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR MISSING REQUIRED TIME AT THE DRAKE ACADEMY OF MAGICAL ARTS!" Malistaire screamed angrily. He faced the audience. "I GIVE YOU NEELA LIGHTNINGCASTER'S GREATEST FEAR: WRAITHS!" There was a deafening clap of thunder, and a flash of lightning, then Malistaire cast a Wraith. "YOU ARE CURSED TO HAVE THE VOICE OF LORD NIGHTSHADE FOREVER!" he said. His loud voice echoed through the frightening scene. He did something that no Necromancer had ever done: took the life out of a Wraith. The Wraith fell to the ground, being defeated in the same manner he could defeat. Malistaire thrust his hand out at Neela, and she clasped both hands around her neck.

"MISS LIGHTNINGCASTER, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?" Malistaire cruelly asked. "I... I... I..." she started in her hoarse voice, tearing up. Alia spotted a box where Malistaire was putting a deep red orb inside. It closed suddenly and loudly. Apparently, Cody, who was in front of her, had too. He carefully began to levitate the box. Alia quickly walked up to his row. "What are you doing?" she whispered. "Helping those in need!" Cody replied, slowly making it come to him. Neela was still stuttering.


"I.... I...."


"GET ON WITH IT, LIGHTNINGCASTER!"

"But you could get in big trouble!"

"So what? I'll get killed, but I'm sick and tired of Malistaire hurting everyone!"

"AHEM!"


"But you can't die! Not you!"

"Why? It's not like I'm all that important like you!"

"I... I... I don't know what to say!"

"But, you're one of my best friends! You can't leave me!"

"Leave ME?"


"Err, I meant US."

"THEN GET OFF THE STAGE!"

"DON'T!" Alia yelled this time. All eyes were on her and Cody. It was very unfortunate that it was the same moment Cody yelled, "CATCH, NEELA!"

He tossed the box to Neela, who swiftly opened it up. As soon as she did, she only saw the beautiful orb for a split second, for it flew into her as if it wanted her back eagerly. Neela grinned at Cody, yelling, "Thank you!"

Malistaire grew furious. "Oh no." Alia said, quickly getting away from Cody.

"DRAGONRIDER!" Malistaire yelled. Cody didn't jump up or anything, he just calmly and bravely replied, "Yes, Headmaster?" "DON'T YOU TRY THAT 'YES HEADMASTER' STUFF ON ME!" Malistaire yelled. "I can't look!" Alia said to Sabrina, looking away.

"Whatever is the matter, Headmaster Drake?" Cody innocently asked. "YOUR DISOBEDIENCE IS THE MATTER!" Malistaire yelled. "So, do I get a punishment of any sort?" Cody asked.

Malistaire Drake became more furious than anyone had ever saw him. Without a warning, he snatched Cody by the arm, and teleported to his Dragonspyre office, Alia yelling, "CODY!"

She jumped for him, but it was too late. They were gone. Alia then just lay there, still reaching out for him. "No, anyone but Cody," Alia whispered, getting up and brushing the dirt off her clothes.

"That's it, Sabrina," Alia said, turning to Sabrina, everyone listening.

"It's tonight."

"You mean--"

"I'm going to steal my powers back."

The crowded Commons were silent. The wind blew fiercely, making Alia's hair blow dramatically. "By tonight, maybe longer,"

"I am going to defeat the greatest threat of all. The master of the spiral. The most cruel man we all know."

"Malistaire Drake."




Everyone was asleep, including Elizabeth. Or at least there was no movement in the dorm room. Alia opened one eye slowly. She quietly sat up out of bed. Slowly, she stepped off of the bed and onto the floor. Alia looked around to make sure nobody was awake. Quietly, she tiptoed toward the bright red door. Alia slowly put her hand on the doorknob...

All of a sudden, THE DOORKNOB STARTED TURNING!

Alia shrieked as the door opened, and apparently so did the person at the door.

"A mirror?" Alia said, scratching her head in confusion. Then, she noticed the long red hair.

"ELIZABETH?" Alia asked. Elizabeth's eyes grew big. "You can call me Lizzie?" she said nervously. "What are you doing out here?" Alia demanded. "Well, I wanted to help you," Elizabeth said, handing a piece of paper to Alia. "Turns out, cat claws are really good for picking locks!"

Alia read the piece of paper aloud. "He lies in Dragon's Roost." 

"Thank you, Lizzie!" Alia said. "Elizabeth smiled. "Just give me your leftovers the next time we eat salmon for dinner," Elizabeth said, turning into a little feline and hopping up on Alia's bed to sleep.

Bravely, Alia walked up to Bartelby. "Why, young wizard!" Bartelby said, awakening. "You gave me quite a fright!" he continued in his long, dreary, old voice. "Bartelby, may I please go in the spiral chamber?" Alia pleaded. "Malistaire says if I do, he'll pull my roots from the ground," Bartelby protested. "Look, if you let me in," Alia began to say. "By the time Malistaire finds out, he'll be DEAD. Now come on!" 

Bartelby apparently needed some sleep. "Fine, young wizard." he said, opening the doorway to the spiral chamber. Alia grinned, and thanked him as she stepped into the darkness that was Bartelby.

Alia quietly ran toward the door. "This is it!" she said to herself, brimming with confidence. Then, all of a sudden, she came to a ferocious halt.

Alia gasped in horror as she realized she needed a key. Turning back regretfully, she heard a strange voice that sounded oddly familiar.

"Alia, it's me. Headmaster Ambrose."

"It's you? It really is you?" Alia asked, staring up.

"Yes, I'm using some of Malistaire's power to speak to you. I can contact you in any way now," Alia's headmaster explained.

"By any chance, Headmaster," Alia began. "Is the key to DragonSpyre with you?"

"Why wouldn't it?" he said. A large, flaming red and orange key fell into Alia's hands.

"Thank you, Headmaster," Alia said. "A while after this, everything is going to be just fine. Malistaire will be gone. You won't be under his spell. And the Spiral will be safe again."

"Quickly now, I can hear Malistaire's footsteps!"

Alia ran through the doorway, twisting the key in an astral lock.

Meanwhile, in the Atheneum, Dragonspyre...

"AMBROSE!" Malistaire yelled, bursting through the doorway as the Headmaster innocently turned around. "IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO BE UNDER POSSESSION AGAIN!" Malistaire had furious red eyes once more, that matched the deep red curtains that were behind his throne. Malistaire stared at the nervous, aged man. As well as what was behind him. "Were YOU using The Crystal Ball of Chaos?" he demanded. The sweating headmaster vigorously shook his head. "Better not have, Ambrose," Malistaire said, beginning to zap Merle Ambrose back into possession. With a crash and a streak of lightning flying throughout the Throne Room, Headmaster Ambrose stood up as straight as a robot, his eyes open wide, and in a strange voice he said, "Yes, Master."

Alia's heart was pounding, and beads of sweat trickled down her face as she ran through the Basilica.  She anxiously looked around her. It was so... Gloomy. There was lava pouring everywhere. And then, out of nowhere came sight of Dragonspyre, miles off into the atmosphere. It was amazing, but scary. There was a treacherous, long fall down. Alia gulped. Looking to her right, she saw a portal to the Atheneum. "Here I go!"

Alia's clothes gained dirt from the hard ground she had fallen upon. She brushed them off, grumbling to herself, "I shouldn't have worn this perfectly clean nightgown..." Alia sweat more than ever in the blazing heat of DragonSpyre. She was astonished by the Lava Lilies that sprouted from the lava. Their beautiful yellow-orange color was perfectly mystifying. Alia had to be more careful now and walk. About now, the sweat on her face all evaporated. Her heart thumped swiftly.

She finally came across another portal in the center of the shops. Breathing heavily, she climbed in. It was an odd portal-- It led to Dragonspyre Academy! That was all the way on the other side of Dragonspyre! She climbed in eagerly.


She fell on cold, red stone. A woman named Zanetta was sleeping soundly in her home. Alia headed for the dragon.


The ride was amazing, yet the only thing on her mind right now was Cody. Alia began to think back as she rode along...

...Then, out of nowhere, something rare in the commons caught Alia's eye. A health wisp! Alia ran towards it with the rest of her energy, now about a yard away from it. It disappeared. But before Alia could realize that, while she was still running, a Death student came out of nowhere and- "Oomph!" They ran into each other, each dropping all of their parchment, books, quills, and ink! "Oh I am SO-" the male Necromancer started. But before he could say sorry, he stared at Alia. "Well, I guess the charm wore off," he said. "What charm?" Alia said, remembering Professor Ambrose's words. "Well, I saved this Life wizard, she was unconscious behind some shops. Her name I think was-" "Alia Lotuspetal?" Alia asked. "Yeah, that's it! And-- WAIT! How did you know?" the boy asked. "It's nice to meet you, Cody Dragonrider," Alia sad.

 "HOW DID YOU--"

 While Cody was babbling, Alia changed her hat to the one she was wearing when Cody saved her.

 "OH."

 "Yeah." Alia said. "Well nice to meet you"- DIIIING!

 "Oh no! The bell!" Alia said. "Here," Alia said, putting each others names on the friend's lists. Then Alia picked up her things, and headed off to her early lesson on Seraph...
A tear fell from Alia's eye as she thought about it. She finally got off the dragon, and headed towards a suspicious anvil...


Meanwhile, in a secret dungeon...

"AUGH!" Cody yelled, fighting against the chains. Malistaire only laughed horribly. "Foolish child! This is your punishment for underestimating the Master of Death!" he cackled. Cody fought back even more. Malistaire only laughed more, and pointed rudely at him. "Haha! What NOW, pitiful little Necromancer? Is that little Thuergist girl going to come and save you? I think it queer if she can even get into Dragonspyre!" Cody yelled and tugged. "DON'T INSULT HER LIKE THAT!" Cody screamed, fighting even more. Malistaire began to look tired. "Whatever, little boy. I guess it's time to leave you to rot..." he said, turning out the lights, leaving only a candle lit at Cody's feet. He left momentarily.


Meanwhile, above the anvil...


Malistaire forced the anvil upward. Alia, frightened, hid behind it. It barely clonked her head, though it ached with pain. It turned into agony sooner. She noticed it was rapidly bleeding as Malistaire left to his lair. Thinking quickly, she grabbed a nearby cloth and held it against her head. She opened the anvil doorway.

Jumping down, she saw Cody with his head facing down, tied to chains, and his eyes closed. His expression was horrifying. Alia could tell he was in pain.


She knew she mustn't yell. "CODY!" she whispered. She ran over to him, and he was asleep, seemingly dead. "Oh my gosh." Alia said, climbing up the steps. Cody was hung up so high, that Alia had to get on her tiptoes to at least see his feet at eye level. Then, her foot accidentally knocked over the candle, and the dungeon was pitch black.

Cody awoke with a start. He could sense something moving about his feet, and Alia acknowledged his sudden movement as well. "Cody!' she said out loud. "It's Alia, stay still!" Cody's face lit up, but nobody saw it.


Alia managed to get his legs free, in the dark. She grabbed a stool and stood on it, then she could reach his arms. He fell onto the floor with a great thud.


Alia jumped down and helped him up. They could sense each others movements somehow. Cody stepped one step closer to Alia. "You found me," he said in amazement. His mind was racing.

Alia stepped closer too. "I need to ask you something, Cody." she requested. "Where are little golden lockboxes found?" Cody answered hesitantly. "Go out here, take a right to the Dragon, and you'll end up in D.S. Academy. Go to the door with a fire symbol down the ramp. They're found there.


Suddenly, a bat fluttered down by their heads.


Alia stepped back as well as Cody, and blushed. "Um, to the lockboxes?" she asked, grabbing Cody's hand and running off, thinking, "Oh, the awkwardness."


Alia and Cody came upon a great room, with thousands of lockboxes. They were sorted into schools: Death, Myth, Fire, Ice, Storm, Balance, and LIFE.


Ali stared in amazement. "So many people have suffered and lost their powers," she stated softly. Alia walked up to the life lockboxes.

"How am I supposed to know which one is MINE?" Alia questioned. Cody thought for a moment. "The right powers will jump into your soul. Try one," Cody said. Alia's hand hovered nervously over the golden lockboxes. All of a sudden, a certain one right in the middle pulled her towards it. It was almost like a magnetic force. Alia picked it up. "They'll try to trick you," Cody said. "Any Thuergist basically can be pulled in by one of those." Alia eyed him strangely. "How would you know?" Cody pulled out a golden lockbox from his pocket. "While you were messing around, I found mine. They pulled me from all directions, I'm telling you!" he said. "Like it matters anyway!" Alia said. "Nothing wrong will happen if I pick up the wrong box!"


"Actually..." Cody began. "It'll jump out and be let go into the spiral forever. It could take years for that orb to find its owner. We must return these asap." Alia sighed. "Poor fellow Thuerge..." Alia whispered, opening that box that pulled her stronger than the others.


A beautiful green orb was revealed. Alia gaped at its beauty. It glimmered softly. Acknowledging its owner in front of it, it sprung at Alia.


Alia coughed roughly on the ground, green sparks coming out of her mouth. She smiled as the power flowed back into her veins.

Alia let out a giggle of happiness and snapped. A parchment appeared with a cloud of green dust. Alia looked up at Cody. "The good old adept self!" Alia said.


Suddenly, Alia's eyes fell on her stats on the parchment. She read it aloud. "Alia LotusPetal, level 50, Grandmaster Thuergist."

Cody stared at his as well. "Cody DragonRider, level 50, Grandmaster Necromancer!" he screamed.


"How can this be?" Alia questioned eagerly. "I don't know!" Cody replied. "The point is, WE'RE GRANDMASTERS!" Alia grinned. "If you and me are Grand, do you know what this means?" Alia asked. "Sabrina, Mary, Kevin, Elizabeth, and Sean could be Grandmasters too!" Cody's face lit up.

"We have to come back here with them!" Alia said. "It's the only way we'll have a better chance!" Cody stopped and thought about the Grandmaster stuff. "What if this is an illusion?"


Alia thought for a moment, and realized. She was destined for all of this to happen. This must have been the next symbol on the cave a while back.


But she then realized. "The Draconian Army never came!" Alia screamed. "So much is happening and I don't know what to do!" Alia screamed again. Cody suddenly grabbed Alia by the shoulders. "STEAL THE ARMY'S WEAPONS! GET ALL THE DESTINED ONES! AND SAVE OUR POOR, POWERLESS LITTLE--"

Alia screamed. "WHERE THE HECK DID THIS COME FROM???" She pulled out a thin green sword. The tag said: Oyotomi's Jade Blade.


Alia smiled suspiciously. "Maybe we should do a little WRECKAGE too!"

They then headed off to change the future of the Draconian Army, and prepared to save the spiral once and for all.




THE LOTUSPETAL IS OUT! (comment on what you think!)
