It was a peaceful morning on the Boling Isles. The Griffins were squawking, the faries were flying, and the sun was casting a warm orange glow over the boiling hot sea. In a small house in the downtown area of Bonesburough, lived a family. Inside one bedroom, a young teenager was dreaming about facing a giant monster…“You think I am weak, beast of the Netherworld, but I am Oliver Noceda-Blight! Son of the saviors of the Boiling Isles, and keeper of peace…NOW EAT THIS SUCKA!” He shot a lightning spell out of his staff, almost hitting the monster, before everything came to a stop. “Mijo, time to wake up!” said a voice. The teen woke up with a start. It was just a dream? “What happened last night…?” Said 17-year-old Oliver Noceda-Blight, not recalling the events of the previous evening. Footsteps were heard outside his door as a warm inviting voice came through. “Mijo, are you awake?” softly called the voice of one of his mothers, 38-year-old Luz Noceda. “I am now…” Oliver groaned to himself. He got out of bed and put on a pair of sweatpants over his shorts and a t-shirt over his tank-top. He opened the door to see the smile of one of his mothers. “Ah, there you are Mijo, breakfast is ready downstairs..” Said Luz, smiling her charming grin. Oliver walked downstairs to see his mothers’ palismen, a white cat named Ghost, belonging to 38-year-old Amity Blight, and a purple snakeshifter named Stringbean, belonging to Luz. a baby dragon palisman, who’s scales shone and shimmered in the light like a rainbow, trotted over and nuzzled against Oliver’s leg. Oliver recalled the events of last night now, his palisman had finally hatched as he discovered what he wanted in life.he had taken the route Luz did and carved an egg for his palisman, as he wanted his palisman to choose what form it wanted to be. He leaned down and pet the three palismen ever so gently. “Morning little ones…” He said to the palisman. He walked into the kitchen, where Amity was reading a newspaper and drinking tea. “Mornin’ Mom..” Oliver greeted his mother. “Good morning, Ollie.” Amity replied with a warm smile. “What’s on the agenda today?” “Well,” Ollie answered .”Probably going to try out those new spells you taught me.” “That’s my boy.” Amity replied. “But before you do that, you need to eat. You can’t practice magic on an empty stomach.” After breakfast, Oliver went outside to the practice range, his palisman following closely behind. He set up a few training dummies before standing in the designated area. “Alright..” He said to himself. “Concentrate…Think what you want, and…” He focused, drawing a spell circle in the air. A fireball shot out of the circle and hit one of the training dummies, setting it ablaze. “I…I did it! YES!” He celebrated, his palisman nuzzling against his leg as if to congratulate him. “I didn’t think I could, but I did!” Ollie exclaimed, jumping for joy. He wondered what happened if he combined a certain two spells. Concentrating, he combined wind with light to create..He tried to walk and was almost immediately all the way at The University of Wild Magic. “Whoa!” he heard an exclaim from behind him. He turned to see Luz’s mentor and close friend, Eda “The Owl Lady” Clawthorne. “Didn’t even see you there, kid! Your moms teach you invisibility?” Eda asked. “Nope, I think I created a new spell!” Oliver exclaimed. “Really now?” Eda replied, raising her eyebrow. “Yup! I think I created a speed spell by mixing wind and light!” Ollie replied, excited. “Wind and light, eh?” Eda said with a smirk. “You might be onto something kid. You should get back before your moms start going coo-coo because they couldn’t find ya.” “I will, see ya Ms. Eda!” Ollie sped off. “Well I’ll be darned.” Eda said with a flabbergasted look.
