You're too sweet Connie. I'm glad I have readers. Its nice. I'm feeling much loved. You had a lot to say about my story . . . I'm trying to read other people's stories because its so sad that no one seems to be reading anymore . . . I feel so sad. I remember when I had to go posts to posts to post to find my last post so I could update. Now, I'm seeing a lot of author's double post . . .

So sad.

The young girl screamed as the dark blood wraith advanced on her. Her hand was outstretched blasting the creature with a steady spell of banishment, but being that she was trying to look away from the creature's hideously cold features the spell was not working.

"You have to stare into its cold eyes, Ms. Dalton. You must concentrate and banish the beast, or it will get you and freeze your blood. Allow me to explain. Death by blood freezing is a horrendous way to go. It slowly coagulates within your veins, and you slowly asphyxiate if your organs do not first . . ."

The young Ms. Dalton would have followed that thought to its logical conclusion but she had had enough. A room full of Blood Wraiths felt like a meat locker, everyone's breath misting. A soft thin ice formed on the windows and on some of the students desks. The cold, the fear, the screaming and terror from the other students, who like her, battled their tormentors had pushed her to her limits. She screamed and dropped her wand and started running.

The wraith's claws were upon her and its hands were chilling her blood.

"Foolish girl!" Professor Luka exclaimed. His wand was up and banishing the creature. It turned to face him. Its long icicle nails slashed at him but with a wave of his wand he exploded the creature into a shower of icicles and snowflakes.

He turned to the class. Pulled a box from his robes opened it and with another wave of his wand and a silent spell he summoned all the wraiths into the box.

"Giovanni! Take Ms. Dalton to the nursery, immediately. He cursed, as the students collapsed to the floor, or onto each other. Some of the girls and a boy or two broke down crying. "Class is dismissed!"

He walked out with a clatter of his boots on the floor completely disgusted at the weakness of his students. They were not doing as well as last year's first years.



Also Connie, there will be many dragons and also . . . about Luka. Don't judge him too quickly . . . my characters aren't simple and obvious and also don't forget :simm:
