The Wizard and the Fireball

 

One day, a bored wizard threw a fireball. It sailed high into the sky and then came hurtling back down, it landed smack dab in the Arctic Tundra Region. Exploding into an inferno, flames sailed high and low, killing people and burning down houses. The king of the ATR was furious, he and his Ice Warriors declared war on the world, and set out to conquer…

 

The Wizards of the Middle West were having a gathering at The Palace that day, Grandoff the Good was leading the conversation with something about elixir shortages. Everyone was just about asleep when a boom was heard nearby.

Grandoff jumped up along with the other wizards, suddenly a guard ran in and yelled “WE’RE UNDER ATTACK!”

 

Grandoff yelled to his comrades “Come on, come on! You heard him!” They ran to the entrance and Grandoff peeked through a crack in the door. When he saw the Ice Warriors shooting ice shards at his Palace his face turned bright red. He kicked down his door, conjured up a electrobolt, and shot at the canon. It exploded with a zapping sound and several Ice Warriors fell down stunned or dead. Then, a fat faced king on a giant Arctobear came trundling through.

 

 

His face was turning purple as he yelled out in rage “SEIZE THEM!”. Grandoff’s electrobolt had been so shocking to the Ice Warriors that they just blinked at the king and ran off. “COME BACK YOU COWARDS!!!” the king screamed.

Grandoff looked at the king in dismay, “First, tell me why you came and trashed my annual Wizards Gathering, and why I shouldn’t kill you like these men here” he gestured at the electrified Ice Warriors, some still sparking.

 

The Arctobear took a step back as the king said “A wizard threw a fireball at MY kingdom and it killed some of my people, should I not avenge my people?”

 

Grandoff said “I see now… But let me tell you, none of us are skilled enough to conjure a fireball of that size and strength, the only Wizards I know who could do that would be the ones in the Arkan Desert, those sneaky Time Wizards come up with new tricks everyday.”

 

The king gave a thoughtful look for a second and then said “Alright then! To Arkan Desert it is!” He and his Arctobear set off again.

 

Once they had left, Grandoff and his friends removed the dead bodies and went back into the Palace to continue their discussion.

 

Meanwhile, in the Arkan Desert Khanganitan the Lord of the Time Wizards was creating a sandstorm in the Arkanian South. He chuckled to himself as the sand started whipping up, blowing people and houses away. He yelled to his assistant. “Bring me my lunch! I have a meeting with the Sand Lords in an hour.”

 

“Yessir!” his assistant said. She ran off to prepare some food for her boss. She was frying up some ham when she suddenly felt colder. “That doesn’t make any sense” she thought to herself. “We’re in the middle of a desert…” She looked out the window and saw a huge bear with a angry looking king on top. She screamed and ran to Khanganitan. “Sir, there is a big… Bear thing with a king on it out there.”

 

Khanganitan laughed to himself once more. “I’ll just use some time magic on him to send him back to the form of a baby.” And that's what he did.

 

The ATR king finally saw the Sand Palace, he was about to shout “CHARGE” when suddenly he felt younger, His body grew lean and fit. He looked at himself shocked and his new manly voice said “What… Just happened.” His Arctobear also became younger and smaller, the king suddenly noticed he was shrinking. The army rushed to his side and tried to help him, but he kept getting younger and younger until, both he and the Arctobear were babies. Suddenly Khanganitan strolled out of his sand palace.

 

“And to what do I owe this pleasure?” He said with a sneaky smile.

 

One of the Ice Warriors shouted “What have you done with him! Thank you so much!”

 

The Ice Warriors suddenly cheered, and Khanganitan looked puzzled. “No more annoying king to bark us orders!” cheered one Ice Warrior. “Now we can go home in peace and have a government!”

 

Khanganitan replied “Umm… Glad to be of service, if you need any diplomatic help. The Time Wizards will be glad to help.” He bowed and returned to his palace.

 

The Ice Warriors gave the king to a random lady they found on the way home. They then started a government and lived happily ever after. No one ever found out who the Wizard who shot the fireball was... No one really cared.
