## Story

#### To the knee!

Helena pov: " Lindsy" Chass said, " you did get all the food right?" Chass asked. " yes, my grandma makes amazing food " lindsy replied. " great!" Chass said, "twins! " Weapons? Yes we have knifes, scythes, blades and all types of daggers!" Mason interrupted chass.

" no I was wondering if you got what I asked you to get which was?" Chass said, " uh..." the twins said said cluelessly looking at each other " ugh guys! The tent?! the tools?! " chass said annoyed " oh right " Mason realised " yeah we didn't get that stuff " Johanna replied " ugh " chass grunted " come on guys, you have to be better than this! " chass said disappointed.

" it's ok I'll get it " I told chass " you sure? " he asked " yeah" I replied " also I'm the only other one with a palisman " I stated " alright, don't be long it's about to become dark " chass said, 15 minutes later I return with the stuff

" ok I got 2 tents and a bunch of tools" I said landing " wait why 2? " Mason asked " well you and chass will share the same tent and the girls will share the same as well " I replied " what?! " chass said suprised " haha, it's you and me brother " Mason said happily " ohh this is gonna be hell " chass complained " yeah it is " Mason said excitedly.

We start walking to the an abandon town on the knee where we would stay, when we got to the town lindsy started setting up the 2 tents and me and Johanna where starting a fire, it was 6:43 and everyone was sitting around the fire.

" ugh I'm hungry! Can I have some food please?! " Mason begged " alright now's a good time to eat " lindsy said getting some food out of her bag " my grandma says she has a story for each one she makes " lindsy said giving us different foods.

" ooh" Johanna said admiring the food in her bowl " what's mine?" she asks " that's a fairy salad " lindsy replied " huh? How can meat be in a salad? " Johanna asked " well because those type of fairies only eat vegetation " lindsy replied " huh? I thought fairies only eat skin" Johanna said confused.

" yes but this is a rare type of fairy so not much exist besides the ones that my grandma got, try them it's actually good " lindsy replied, Johanna tried it and started demolishing the bowl " mmh! This IS good! " she replied.

#### Reading

" hey mason you good?" I asked him " lindsy did some drawing in the snow and I'm tryna figure out what it is" he replied " that's not a drawing" i reply " it's a joke, see 'what do you call i fish with no eyes? A Fsh' " I read out to him " THOSE ARE WORDS!? " he sounded surprised " Mason can you not read? " I asked him jokingly " yep " Johanna said from behind me " our parents never took the time to teach us how to read and they never even put us in the baby class' " Johanna said.

" woah " I was shocked " yeah it's pretty normal, now you know why our hand writing is shit" Johanna said, I agreed it was really bad especially their spelling " hey mason? How bout before we go to bed I can help you read, I may have brought some books incase I got bored " chass suggested.

" ooh ok, wait there not boring books are they? " Mason asked " no, one I'm really interested in is about the savage ages and wild magic" chass replied. " ooh sounds fun " Mason said excitedly. We packed our food away and un-lite the fire.

Everyone started to go to their sleeping bags and sleep " Helena " Johanna said " do you know how to read? " she asked me " yeah, I know how to read " I replied " do you think you could teach me, like right now?" Johanna said sitting up.

" I wish I could but I don't have any books...how bout tomorrow you can ask Chass since he's got a bunch of books? " I suggested " ok " Johanna said satisfied lying back down.

The morning-chass pov: I woke up and looked outside my tent to see Helena lighting the fire up, I walked outside and sat next to her " oh morning" she said noticing me " morning, so...when did you wake up? " I said trying to start a conversation " oh I didn't" she replied.

"Wha..." I asked confused " I've been up during the night to many times my body is used to not going to sleep, but I do need to sleep at-least 4 times during the week " she said " wait why had you been staying up late? " I asked.

" well either from escaping from cells, going on picnics with loonie, robbing stores and stands yeah stuff like that " she said " hey! " mason said yelling happily, he sat right between me and Helena " Geuss what h? " he asked her " what? " she asked " I can finally read! Woohoo! " he said happily.

" hey! That's not fair! " Johanna said coming out of her tent " haha you can't read " mason said teasing her sticking his tongue out, she tackled him to the ground and started hitting mason. Me and Helena had to get her off of mason.

" hey hey it's ok Johanna, hey chass? " Helena  called me " think you could take her and teach her to read " she asked " uh yeah sure, come on Johanna " I said patting her back calming her down.

Helena pov: as Johanna and chass walked into the boys tent I could hear mason snickering " so wanna know why where actually here for? " I asked mason " hell yeah" he said excited, I got a map from my tent but before I could show him lindsy grabbed it opened it up and saw the map.

Lindsy gasped " Helena...you're telling me where going to a slither beast grave and see their huge GIANT BONES!! " she said in excitement " ugh that was supposed to be a surprise " I said " eeh!!! " lindsy screeched in my ear hugging me " aah!!

#### Slither beats cave

Helena pov: " what's wrong I heard screaming " chass said running out of his tent " it's fine lindsy just-" I found out that Helena had been mapping the knee and found a grave of slither beast and WHERE going aaahhh!! " lindsy yelled interrupting me " thank-you for ruining the surprise again lindsy " I said trying not to sound rude.

" oh- sorry" she said hiding her face in the map " hey! What's going on! " Johanna said annoyed " WHERE-" were going to a slither beast grave " mason said covering Lindsey's mouth. " oh cool! but can we go soon I'm just learning how to spell my name " Johanna said bragging.

Lindsy looked Johanna straight in the eyes and put Johanna jacket on her " we are going now" lindsy said threatening, so we just decided to get it over and done with. Half an hour later we find the grave. while mason, Johanna and lindsy were getting excited about bones Chass nudged me on the shoulder.

" hey you sure this is safe? " he asked " yeah it's fine I've already mapped the place twice and I didn't find a single slither beast besides the exact opposite of where we are now " I replied " ok, I-I just feel like I'm being watched " he said nervously " don't worry we'll be fine I promise " I said trying to calm chass down and it seemed like it worked.

" hey hey hey Helena! Can we keep some bones and use them as weapons against our enemies " Johanna asked " absolutely not! " chass said " what if a slither beast comes back, realised bones are missing and tracks its way to our campsite! " chass said sternly " aw buzz kill " Johanna said.

" Chass is right also we shouldn't take these bones it's a special place fore the slither beast " I replied " ugh double buzz kill " mason said, they all put the bones down " hey guys " lindsy yelled out " come look at this " she said.

We followed lindsy to a wall to see markings on the walls " woah" mason admired " these drawings are so cool " mason said " it looks like these markings are from ancient times, like when wild magic was a normal thing " lindsy explained.

" these drawings look like slither beast invading towns and witches sending them to the knee giving them an environment to live in and relax " she said " woah that's so cool " Johanna said    " wait who drew these? cause someone obviously had to be here and draw these " I asked             " Maybey have a look over here" chass said deeper in the cave.

" it looks like a witch stranded in a blizzard and staying in the cave for protection " chass said " it also looks like this witch be-friended the slither beast's " mason added " cool " lindsy was admiring these drawings all over the cave.

Then a roar was then echoed through the cave " what...what was that? " mason asked " I don't know but that wasn't a slither beast " Chass replied " but it still didn't sound friendly " I said "...Maybey we should go" chass suggests, we agree to leave and to make sure nothing was destroyed in the cave.

" hey look at this guys " mason said " mason no more...bones? " I said but he wasn't looking at bones " guys look it's Palistrom tree's! " mason said excited " I thought they where all gone or heavily guarded " chass said confused " well how bout we leave them alone for now " I said " wha!? " mason and Johanna gasped.

#### Twintrests

" hey look at this guys " mason said " mason no more...bones? " I said but he wasn't looking at bones " guys look it's Palistrom tree's! " mason said excited " I thought they where all gone or heavily guarded " chass said confused " well how bout we leave them alone for now " I said " wha!? " mason and Johanna gasped.

" well I think we should just leave them incase...uh...guards! Yes incase coven guards are counting the trees and coming back soon " I said nervously " pfft why would..." I drifted off as I heard a flute being played.

Mason stopped talking when we heard people talking about the emperor " yeah Maybey we should go " lindsy said, we quickly walked away hopping to not get caught, we returned to the campsite and Johanna ran to chass' and mason's tent excitedly.

"C'mon c'mon c'mon! We don't have all day! " Johanna said rushing Chass " I'm coming don't worry " a few hours later Johanna finally ran out if the tent excitedly " aw yeah yeah yeah I can read! " Johanna yelled in excitement.

Johanna and Mason exchanged a look "so now that we can spell...can we go hunting please? " Johanna asked " we have weapons all sorts please please please!? " she begged " ok but don't mess with anything TO big and come back before dark, ok? " I said.

" yes! " the both said, they grabbed their bag of weapons and left quickly " ok I know you where lying about the coven guards" chass told me " wha pfft did not...ugh fine I didn't think there would be guards there" I said " but why? " he asked " I...I just don't think their ready for a palisman" I explained.

" Literally they both just learned how to read, and I think when they wanna do it they can do it with their family " I said " but their parents didn't even teach them how to read, why would they care about the twins palisman? " he asked.

" ok Maybey their parents aren't that good but they keep talking about their little sister mana, I just don't think their ready" I said " you know what your actually right, there definitely not ready for a palisman " chass agreed.

" but hey, I like how you just didn't think about them being childish but your also thinking about mana " he said, I smiled at his compliment " hey guys look what we got! " mason said coming out of no-where.

" it's...it's a rat " chass said " yeah the boiling isles isn't dangerous anymore " Johanna said annoyed " yeah but I'm still gonna eat it " mason said excited. Mason started the fire back up and put the rat on a stick and burned it.

#### Heart to heart

Helena pov: Mason decided to eat his rat for dinner while lindsy got the rest of us the food her grandma made for us " here you go, grandmas best meal oatmeal fairy pie with a touch of fire bee honey" lindsy said passing us dinner.

" aha! Done" mason said eating his dinner " it's actually not ba- \*coughs\*...hey I coughed up a rock" he said undisturbed, we finished dinner cleaned up and decided to stay up for a bit "so what are we going to do Tomorow?" Mason asked.

" well I thought we could go to the top of the knee and learn wild magic " I replied " wait you know new spells!" Joanna said excited " no but chass does!"mason says "huh" chass made confused "yeah he taught us how to read with his nerdy savage ages book" Johanna said.

"Uh...I.Ha ho no it doesn't really include spells pfft" chass said embarrassingly " yeah I saw the chapters and you only showed us the first chapter which didn't involve any spells sooo..." Johanna said exposing chass.

" ugh fine its some nerdy book...and it involves wild magic" chass said annoyed " ha ha nerd! " mason yells laughing, I gently hit mason "dude, read the room" I whisper to mason. Lindsy, mason and Johanna decide to go to bed while me and chass stay outside and continue to eat our dinner.

"Hey, you ok? You seem uncomfortable" I asked chass "well...I guess I don't like how my book is well nerdy" chass replies "oh well it is nerdy though" I said "oh, yeah I know" he says "but it's a good nerdy, being nerdy makes you, well you. We're all a bunch of nerds just about different stuff" I said.

"Lindsy' s nerdy about slither beats bones and the old ages, the twins are nerds about jokes and pranks, and I'm a nerd for magic and palisman" I said " your...a nerd?" Chass asked "pfft yeah what you thought I was just perfect" I said teasing him "yeah" he said " uh um... well yeah cause being a uh criminal and against the coven system you where still able to uh join."

"And well you made three friends in less than a day after not ever going to a school" he said "four including you, don't forget that" I said, chass started choking on his food and coughed up a un-chewed fairy leg "are you ok?" I asked him " yeah yeah I'm fine, uh uh I'm gonna go to bed" he said as he walked off "night" I said "night" he replied walking in his tent.

In the morning: when everyone was finally awake we decided to start to head to the top of the knee and we started practicing

#### Training and tricking

Helena pov: In the morning: when everyone was finally awake we decided to start to head to the top of the knee and we started learning new magic " alright I got the book and I think where ready" chass said " yes I'm excited" Johanna said shaking mason.

"Now I've organised us into groups and we'll switch every few minutes \*duplicates the book\* the first group is...the twins and Helena, lindsy your with me" Chass explained " ooh yay, this is gonna be fun!" Lindsy said, chass gave me the copy of the book and me and the twins went to a space on the knee where we could practice.

as we practiced I could see that the twins had improved their magic ever since they learned how to read, I was proud of them. " ooh this looks cool" I said " wait what is it?!" Mason said " it's a snowflake spell" I said " ooh" they both said admiring the pictures of the snowflakes, I showed them how to do the spell and after 2-3 tries they did it.

" alright Helena you can go with lindsy and I'll be with the twins" Chass said, I walked over to lindsy "hey so what did chass teach you?" I asked lindsy " well he showed me how to make like abomination stones like combining abomination and construction magic but I can't really do it" she said looking sad.

" it's ok I'll try and help you, you wanna start  off with that spell?" I asked " yeah!" She said happily, I found the page and instructed her on how to do the spell. Eight attempts later she was able to do it. " eeek! yes! Yes! Yes! Thank-you Helena" lindsy said so happily " of course lindsy" I said.

After we had finished me and Chass were in a group and he showed me how to complete a spell making plant decorations. When we finished we decided to explore the knee a bit more and look for more cool details in the wild.

" hey look at these markings on this tree guys!" Lindsy said "look there's claw marks" mason said, "woah" lindsy Said, she started drawing the tree in a book she brought " hey it's starting to get dark How bout we start heading back" mason said.

" yeah your right let's go" chass said " aw but " nah it's getting late anyway we have Tomorrow to continue" Johanna interrupted lindsy " aw, ok" lindsy said sad "see told you she's a nerd" I whispered to chass.

We finally returned to the campsite and lindsy just fell to the ground tired from walking " oh sweet sweet rest" lindsy mumbled to herself, " chass and i snickered at her being tired even though it wasn't that long walk" hey, where's the twins?" Chass asked.

I heard something in the sky and looked up and I saw two things flying in the sky then coming down " huh?!" I gasped the two things crash on the ground " hey guys" Johanna said holding a fox palisman " WHAT THE FU "huh what I uh" chass yelled before lindsy interrupted him stuttering.

#### Mystery saviour

Helena pov: " you have what!?" I yelled " oh yeah cool right?" Mason said " they're so cool " he said hugging his palisman. We sat down waiting for our dinner " hey sorry some soup leaked in the bag so I just quickly cleaned it up" lindsy said coming out of her tent.

" that's fine" chass said, lindsy handed everyone's dinner " wait isn't this soup?" Johanna asked " yeah but I had extras cause this is my favourite dish my grandma makes but we only have enough for 3 people to have seconds" lindsy replied nervously.

" hm" Johanna tried the soup " hey this isn't so bad!" She said " yeah you're right" I said, a few minutes later after everyone finished their dinner Lindsey's started collecting the bowls " so does anyone want seconds?" She asked " ooh ooh me please!" Johanna said.

Lindsy got out another bowl for Johanna " hey guys, do you hear that?" I said confused, everyone looked confused to " what?" Chass asked " rustling, rustling in the trees" I said, there was no wind no animals and no voices, it was dead silence.

A slither beats came running at us attacking our camp "AAH!!" The twins yelled " A SLITHER BEAST!?" I said confused " how did one of those get over here?!" Chass asked  "with-ought us even realising?!" Mason asked " right now it doesn't matter we need to get it outa here!" I said.

I did an ice spell to try and freeze the slither beats it it's tracks and it escaped, the slither beats destroyed our campsite, the slither beast scratched Lindsey's arm and she started bleeding " lindsy!" Mason yelled at her attack.

" chass go check on lindsy with Johanna" I said, he and Johanna walked over to check on her while mason got a club flying above the slither beast getting ready to knock it out. Mason got hit by the slither beast making him fall to the ground. Then a flute started to play from a tree behind the slither beast.

The slither beast reacted to the sound and ran away. We were confused, did we get caught by the coven guards, is it someone we know? Who is it? The person jumped off the tree landing in front of us wearing a  cloak hiding their identity " wait a minute...mana?!" Mason said " huh?" We all thought.

The mystery person pulled their hoodie down revealing Mana. mason and Johanna's little sister " aw mana!" Johanna said running to her along with mason hugging mana " what are you doing here?" Mason asked her " well when you told me you were going to the knee I decided to do some research of some books I found" she replied.

" and i found out that the knee is having a fairy migration in a few days" she said " pfft it's just a bit of fairy's" Johanna replied " actually no there's gonna be a about 5 groups of fairy's so..." mana replied.

" aw so we have to leave?" Mason asked disappointed " well besides that look what we got" Johanna said showing mana their Palisman " Palisman?! No no why did you make them I tried to lead you away from them?!" Mana replied " huh? what do you mean mana" mason replied.      " Mum and dad don't want any thing to do with wild magic remember!"

"Oh that's right" mason said, mason and Johanna held their Palisman starting to tear up and put them on the ground " by amber" Johanna said patting her palisman. Mason gave his palisman ozzy a kiss on the head and put him down. They hugged each other and started crying " c'mon guys, let's go home" mana said leading them away.

We cleaned up and it was 10:03 pm when we finished " whew It took a while but we got there" I said " also thanks to mana I was able to finish my fairy chapter" explaining now that there are 6 different species of fairy's" lindsy said.

I noticed loona wasn't in my hoodie " loonie?" I yelled out to her, I saw that she was near deeper in the forest I picked her up and started heading home.
