Chapter 17: Snow Adventure
-On a random day at the Owl house, Luz and Ben were reading pamphlets from Hexside School, since they will now be students at that school-
"Imagine Ben sitting on the other couch reading his pamphlet."
Luz: King, listen to this
King: Hey, less read-y, more scratch-y.
Luz: Sorry. Now that I'II be a student at Hexside. I wanna ....
Ben: We will be *continues reading the pamphlet*.
Luz: Oh that's right, you'll be a Hexside student too, well what I was getting to, I wanna learn all about it, I've got a new crush and her name is Education.
-King tears up Luz's pamphlet with a bite.
Ben: Ummmmmm....I don't know why I feel like I'm going to regret this decision.
Luz: Why Ben, aren't you interested in learning?
Ben: It's not that Luz, it's just that school is not my thing, with the very idea of going back to one makes me a little uncomfortable.
Luz: When you were going to school, were you a problematic student?
-The intention of the question is out of curiosity if Ben had the same past as her-.
Ben: No, not at all, I wasn't a problem student, I just liked to feel free, to have adventures, to meet people, that's how I was when I was 10 years old and of course, without having this watch with me.
King: Wow, that's deep Ben
Luz: Yeah, very deep
Ben: Thanks guys
Ben in his mind: I will try not to tell them that I have a doctorate to avoid envy conflicts.
-Out of nowhere Eda appears in the house-
Eda: Hey, freeloaders, guess what today is?
Luz: Is it your birthday?
King: Is it my birthday?
Hooty: It's my birthday?
Ben: Is it someone's birthday coming up?
Eda: No. It's Human Treasure Day. *drops the briefcase from the portal where Owlbert comes out with a bag, which he throws with his strength showing a lot of human garbage and then Eda jumps over the mound*.
Eda: Ahhh Fresh garbage
King: Ohhh give me, give me, give me *runs over to the mound and pulls out a teddy bear* Yes! Another worthy addition to my army of terror.
-Eda noticed that Luz and Ben were still holding Hexside's pamphlets.
Eda: Yo, kids. Your trash pile is getting cold, While mine's getting hot. *pulls out of the mound a clothing hitch*.
Eda: I have never seen such an extravagant earring.
Ben: They're not earrings, they're clothes hangers.
Eda: Are you sure?, it looks like a big earring *places it in her ear*.
Luz: You can have my trash, Whoa!,Did you know that Hexside was built on the bones of its rival school?!, One it literally conquered?
Eda: Yes, I know all these things I went there, It was the most harrowing period of my life *uses a mirror to see how the "earrings" look on her*.
Ben: That's the only interesting thing about this pamphlet, by the way, that experience for you was harrowing, but in what sense of the word do you mean?
-Luz interrupts him with his statements.
Luz: Can you imagine it?, Me in the hails of Hexside, studying with Wilow and Gus and maybe even Amity.
Ben: Are there teaching levels in Hexside?
Luz: I don't know, but I hope to study with them soon.
-At that moment Luz remembers what she agreed with Amity.
Luz: Amity! Oh, cramity, We're supposed to meet so l could get my Azura book back *she leaves the house to get her book*.
Ben in his mind: Will she be ok? I mean since the incident in the library we haven't heard from her, has anything happened to her? I'd like to corroborate that.
Ben: ¡HEY LUZ! WAIT FOR ME, I ALSO NEED TO SEE AMITY, I WANT TO ASK HER SOMETHING, IT'S ABOUT JINE *also leaves the house*.
Eda: Who is Jine?
King: I don't know *he lifts his shoulders and plays with the bear he found*.
-Later in the Market, Luz and Ben transformed into Xlr8 were on their way to look for Amity, for different reasons, it took them a while, but they found her.
Luz: There she is
Xlr8: We finally found her, I'm glad she's okay *he's human again*.
-The 2 of them run to where she is.
Luz: Hey Amity, Luz is finally here.
Ben: Don't forget about me *also comes closer*.
-Everything was going well until...-
Edric and Emira: Hi Luz, Hi Ben
-The sudden greeting of the Blight twins caused Luz to panic to the point of falling down, and Ben almost activated the Omnitrix of surprise.
Ben: Ah, are you *lowers his left arm in annoyance*.
-Amity approaches to help Luz to get up.
Amity: Edric, Emira, stop bothering her.
Ben: *with crossed arms* Amity, what are they doing here?
Luz: Yeah, not to be rude, but we agreed to see each other alone.
Ben: I came for something else, it's about the library thing with Jine.
Amity: Sorry guys, they insisted on coming for some reason.
-Emira goes over to Amity and squeezes her cheeks.
Emira: Because we love you, baby sister.
-Amity pushes her away-
Amity: They've been extra protective and nice towards me to make up for the library incident.
-Edric appears.
Edric: And we still apologize, every day.
-Amity pushes him away-
Ben: Wow, that must be a morning bummer.
Amity: You can't imagine *looks at Luz*, In any case Luz, here's your book.*takes Azura's book out of her bag*.
Luz: *receives the book* So... What'd you think?
Amity: It was fine *crosses her arms and turns to the left*.
Luz: So fine you drew yourself with Malingale the Mysterious Soothsayer? *pulls out Amity's drawing*.
-Ben seeing the drawing caused him to almost laugh out loud, but he stopped in time.
-As for Amity, out of embarrassment she cast a spell to burn the drawing.
Luz: This is great, maybe we can even start an Azura Club at school when we're classmates. *happy*.
Amity: When we're what?
Luz: Surprise! I'm enrolling at Hexside. *pulls out her pamphlet from her pocket*.
Ben: Me too *pulls his pamphlet out of his pocket*.
Amity: Oh. Uh, sorry, but to be in my class you need to take a placement exam, and prove that you've mastered two spells, Luz, I know you have your light thing, Uh, do you know anything else?
-Luz after hearing that started to get nervous.
Luz: Placement exam? Spells?
Emira: Quit giving her a hard time, Mittens.
Edric: Yeah. of course she knows Two spells. Right, Luz?
Luz: I...
Ben: You know this doesn't concern you, right? *crosses his arms*
Luz: Hahaha, yeah Of course I know two spells hahahaa *nervous*.
Ben in his mind: She doesn't know how to cast two spells, I haven't seen her cast anything else besides Light spheres.
Amity: Because if you don't, they'll put you in the baby class *shows her the hidden side of the pamphlet*.
Ben: How did we not see that before?
Luz: I don't know *nervous*.
Amity: By the way, Ben, how will you take the exam, as I understand you don't cast any spells, you can only transform into different strange creatures with the help of your bracelet, sorry I call it that way, it's just that it's difficult to pronounce that name that your bracelet has.
Emira: Is Ben in the baby class?
Edric: That is interesting
Ben: You can both move away from here *annoyed*.
Ben: Don't worry Amity about what to call the Omnitrix, and to answer your question, I don't know how the exam is going to go, according to what Eda told me, the Principal Bump has other plans for me.
Amity: I understand
Edric: Wait a minute, brain idea.
Emira: What if we all train together? We could show off what we know.
Edric: What do you say, guys?
Ben: I might go, it's just a maybe.
Luz: Uh... actually I have other training plans in a very faraway place, That I have to go to right now, bye *runs off*.
Ben: By the way, Amity, you know if....
-Out of nowhere Luz returns to the market quickly to take Ben with her, interrupting the question he wanted to ask her about Jine-
-In the Owl house, Eda was cooking as in the original story, until she was interrupted by Luz.
Luz: EDAAAAAAA!!!! *she stumbles* You have to teach me a new spell, right now
Ben: I knew it, you are easy to read Luz
Luz: Eda please
Eda: I Sorry Luz. These vegetables won't cook themselves... yet.*pours a life giving substance on the vegetables*.
Eda: All right, everybody in the pot.
-The vegetables run out of the kitchen.
Eda: Why do I always think that's gonna work?
Luz: But I need to know two spells to get into decent classes at Hexside, I can make Light Glyphs *makes glyph causing Eda and Ben to cover their eyes*.
Luz: But at the end of the day that's the only spell I know. *slumps to the ground*.
Ben: Whoa, that's tough
Eda: And whose fault is that?
Luz: Yours *points to Eda*.
Eda: Ha! yep! Got me there
-Ben slaps his forehead.
Luz: Just teach me a spell now. Any spell, It can be the darkest evil.
Ben: Whoa Luz! calm down will you
Eda: Well, I have been researching my texts on wild magic, but I'm much too busy right now.
Luz: Come on, Eda! You're the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles, how would it look if your apprentice got thrown into the baby class?
Ben: Ooooohhhhhh... Ok, I have to admit that was good
-Ben and Luz high five their palms.
Eda: Hmm. Weapohizing my pride. well played, well, in that case, this looks like a job for a magic boot camp.
Luz: Uhhhh
Ben: That's cool
-Out of nowhere King appears with the teddy bear.
"Imagine Ben on the scene as well."
King: Did someone say boot camp? I agree to run it. We'll rise at dawn., you'll carry me on your back as I yell hateful things about your performance
Eda: Nope, You'll have no part in this, Luz needs to focus, and I can't have her go all weird when you do something adorable.
Ben: Look King, not to be mean, but, I agree with Eda.
King: I AM NOT ADORABLE!
Luz: Aw! He stamped his little foot. *she softens*
King: ¡¡¡¡¡AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! *closes the door with force*
Eda: Now. No time to waste, you'll have to follow my teachings exactly, we gotta to go somewhere special.
Luz: Yes!
Eda: A place where madical energy just flows
Luz: Yes!
Eda: A place like the... KNEE!
Luz: YES!!!!! *excitedly*
Ben: The knee?
Eda: If you don't know or don't remember Ben, The Boiling Islands was built on the corpse of the Titan and the place where we will go will be on its Knee.
Ben: Ah, I see
Eda: I'll go get some warm coats and hats in the closet, it's very cold in the Knee.
Luz: Yessssss, New Spell, New Spell
Ben: Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun learning your new spell Luz
Luz: Aren't you coming Ben?
Ben: No, of course I will come, I have nothing else to do.
Luz: But I would also recommend you to learn spells too, I know what you are capable of and that you don't need to use magic and that you are not interested in being a witch like me, but at least try to do some spells, in the end, it won't take anything away from you.
Ben: Well, since, learning a few of these Glyphs, it wouldn't be so bad for me.
Luz: Excellent *takes out his notebook and tears out 2 sheets of paper*.
Luz: Look Ben, this is how I make the glyphs of Light, just draw this symbol and press it, that's all.
Ben: Well I'll try *draws the glyph, although not very well*, I'm sorry I'm not a good drawer *shame on me*.
Luz: Never mind, just press it
Ben: Ok *Ben presses the Glyph made by him and to his surprise, it worked causing astonishment of Ben and Luz*.
Luz: Incredible, it seems that you can make Glyphs.
Ben: Cool, Thanks Luz
Eda: GUYS I'VE ALREADY FOUND THE COATS LET'S GO *appears Eda with her coat already on and with a couple more in her hands*
Luz: Yes! to the Knee
Ben: Something tells me it's going to be a long trip.
-The 3 of them leave the house with their coats on.
"Ben's outfit reference"
Ben: All right, I'm getting ahead, because if that knee is a mountain, it will be easy for me to find it, this is a job for Big Chill *activates the Omnitrix, but Eda stops him by holding his right arm*.
Eda: Stop there Ben
Ben: What's wrong?
Eda: King is not with us, so now you can safely get on Owlbert *shows him the remaining empty spot*
Ben: Oh, Really?
Luz: Yeah, it'll be fun, it'll be the first time you get on a cane in the Boiling Islands.
Ben: Well, you know what they say, "There's always a first time for everything."
-Our Hero gets on Owlbert, being behind Luz.
Ben: Ok, it feels strange
-Suddenly the Baton starts to rise-
Ben: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Eda: Alright kids, hold on we'll go top speed
Ben: WHAT? wait, I'm not....
-Eda speed up-
Ben: READY!!!......
Luz: Wooohoooo *happy*
Ben: AHHHHHH I DIDN'T REMEMBER THAT FLYING FEELS THIS WAY!!!....
-When they arrived at the Knee, Luz got off the cane excited to learn her new spell.
-As for our hero, because of the dizziness he felt, he fell from the cane, fainting and dizzy in the snow, causing a hole in it.
-Out of the hole came his arm.
Ben: I'm ok, Agghh *his arm falls down*.
-Luz notices and helps Ben up.
Luz: Ben are you ok?
Ben: Yeah... *trying to recover from the dizziness* I haven't flown like this in my human form in a while, but I'm fine.
Eda: Alright guys, if you're done talking, let me introduce you to the Knee *shows you the landscape and the ruins above it*.
Luz and Ben: Whoa! *amazed*.
Luz: It's incredible!
Ben: Amazing, it's like being on another planet.
Eda: Yup, The earliest witches came to the Knee to develop their magic, drawn to its natural power. *shows them the landscape and the ruins that were there*.
Luz: It's beautiful *amazed*.
Ben: Whoa!, so, in other words, it's a training place.
Eda: If you want to see it that way, well yes, although this place it's not without its dangers. *points to a huge white creature*.
-At that moment Luz and Ben were surprised by the tremendous creature that was in front of them nibbling on a tree trunk.
"Imagine Ben on the scene."
Eda: The Slitherbeast.
Ben: He looks intimidating
Luz: She does look intimidating
Eda: It is, but don't worry, if you don't mess with him, he won't mess with you. *she retreats following the path next to Ben leaving Luz watching the creature*.
-When Eda and Ben left, Luz sticks out her tongue and makes sounds with it causing the creature to get a little upset.
-Out of nowhere Ben appears.
Ben: Hey Luz watch out *hold her coat to take her to Eda*
-After a few minutes Eda found a place to rest-
Eda: Here's where we'll set up shop
Ben: Mmmm. It looks nice, I like it
Luz: I'II definitely learn my second spell here,Gorgeous views, magic in the air and best of all, we're completely alone.
-Out of nowhere a purple fireball was heading next to Luz, but Eda saved her just in time.
Eda: WATCH OUT! *gets on guard*.
-Luz looks out to see who it is and they realize it was Amity and her siblings.
Amity: Sorry, whoever's over there!
-Our hero walks over to see what happened.
Ben: Are you ok? *He looks at the source of the fireball and notices Amity and her siblings.
Ben: Hey, isn't that Amity and her siblings?
Luz: Eda, Forget teaching me a spell. Just make me disappear. *she covers herself with her snow cap*.
Ben: Is something wrong Luz?
Eda: Well Luz, okay, but l've got a 60/40 record of making you reappear.
Ben: I think the problem is something else Eda
Eda: Oh, you meant *points to Amity and her siblings* Ah, never mind
-Amity and her siblings realized that the ones standing by the stone were Eda, Luz and Ben, The Blight twins are happy and start waving at them.
Luz: Okay, let's do this
Ben: Eh?
Luz: *she comes out of her hiding place* Hey, guys! *nervous*.
Eda: Who are they?
Ben: It's Amity and her simblings
-Out of nowhere Luz grabs Eda's coat.
Luz: Eda, Be cool, If they know I haven't mastered two spells, they'll think I belong in the baby class.
-Out of nowhere Amity approaches
Amity: What do they say about the baby class?
Eda: Only that it's for babies and that Luz and Ben are not babies *she caresses both of them*.
Ben: Wait, what?
Eda: Nailed it *withdraws back whistling*.
Luz: Amity, What are you doing here?
Ben: I wonder too
Amity: I'm here to train, I'm trying to beat Ed and Em's highest score on the exam
Emira: Aw, Mittens. That's impossible
Edric: She still needs to use a training wand to lear new spells.
Ben: *crossed arms* Aha whatever you say *annoyed*.
Edric: So what are you working on? Something powerful?
Ben: I only came as moral support, Luz will be in charge of the spells.
Luz: Yup, spells, powerful spells, I'm working on one that's sooo crazy, Eda's a pretty incredible teacher.
-Out of nowhere Eda appears.
Eda: Luz, I shall now teach you how to identify different types of snow by taste.
-This statement made Ben and especially Luz uncomfortable.
Emira: Is this some kind of special magic?
Ben: It's not something I've seen before.
Amity: Aham, I don't think the Owl Lady wants to show us any of her powerful spells. *she walks away*.
-Eda is seen with a bunch of snowballs in her mouth, causing Luz to feel annoyed and Ben with a whole hand on his face, later Eda swallows the snowballs-
"Imagine Ben on the scene with a whole hand over his face and the same expression as Luz."
Eda: Ooh. Brain freeze. Brain freeze.*uncomfortable with her brain freeze*.
Emira: See you around guys and Luz good luck with your training *throws a snowball at her brother who was about to suck on it and then takes it away*.
-When the Blight twins they left, Luz called out to Eda-
Luz: Eda! Can you please take this seriously?
Eda: You need to take me seriously, Go taste snow without my guidance. See where it gets you.
-This comment made Luz get sad.
Ben: That was not a good answer, Eda.
Eda: Oh. Don't worry kid. *grabs her head* If you listen to me, soon you'll be doing stuff like that. *she points at Amity*.
-Amity casts a powerful spell with a wand, charging it with a purple fireball that hit a tree, setting it on fire in the process-
Ben: Wow, amazing
Eda: Yes, amazing, and it won't be with some wack training wand, iIt'll be the real deal, but Luz, you have to trust me, okay?
Luz: Ok, I trust you
Eda: We've covered snow, so, now it's on to smelling moss.*she takes out a piece of moss from her pocket* Now the trick is, you really gotta get it up in there. *she puts the moss in her nose causing Luz to feel a little distrust and fear, and Ben to slap his forehead again*.
Ben: It's going to be a long day
Will Luz be able to cast her second spell with the help of Eda's tips?
Find out in the next chapter.
