The Ireville Secret
The Detour
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"So," Tyler asked, "my mom's from another galaxy?"
"'Bout the size of it,"James said.
"She's also the Queen of the world?" Tyler asked.
"Princess actually," James corrected, "She believes the term queen seemed too antagonized,"
Tyler was really confused and Calvin was really skeptical about the whole thing. James wasn't sure if Calvin would ever exept the truth. James wasn't sure he would exept the truth if he were in there shoes, I mean, knowing that your whole life is a lie would be hard to believe. James wouldn't be able to imagine it at all, his father's not a good at lying and his mother tells him everything.
"I think it's about time to teach you about magic," James said.
"Bet not," Calvin mumbled under his breath.
"I heard that," James said and whispered something about scientist and they're so gullible.
"So, pretty much technology and most science is magic and the first scientists made up explanations that made new lies with so much fake proof, it's believable. Most don't know it's fake or lies, anybody that believes in magic only knows the fake magic-"
"Okay," Calvin said, "Now your just being insane,"
"If that's your attitude," James said "then go home and believe all the lies your parents tell you,"
Calvin just stared at James looking like he was about to punch him. Then Tyler intervened.
"Guys calm down," Tyler said, "Calvin doesn't have to believe in magic,"
"It's not even real," Calvin said.
Then James looked at a garbage can, then it started floating in the air like… well magic. The garbage can softly fell down, James look at Calvin and asked,
"You were saying?"
Calvin stood dumbfounded at James. There was no scientific way that that should've happened, it was unrealistic but it just happened. Calvin couldn't even find a fake explanation for it. So, Calvin just made sounds like an idiot.
"bu ga di ma mo fy GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
five minutes later
"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
"Are you done?" James asked.
"Yes," Calvin Exhaled.
After 10 minutes of practice, Calvin and I learned three spells, Levitation (basic and advanced), Teleporation, and (for emergencies only) plasma beams.
"I'm pooped," I said, "want to get something to eat?"
"Sure Tyler," Calvin said, "I'm starving."
Just then a bird appeared, flying into my face, squishing my glasses. When it was off my face, I got a good look at it. It had a orange body, red back, and both colors on it's wings and tail. It almost looked like it was suppose to look like fire.
"It's a phoenix," James said.
"Aren't phoenixes suppose to be fictional?" Calvin asked.
"Magic's suppose to be fictional," James said, "and you just learned how to do magic."
Calvin didn't say anything else.
"It would make a good pet," James said.
"Um… sure," I said, "why not?"
"What are you gonna name it?" James asked.
"I don't know," I said, "Harry maybe, like Harry Potter."
"That seems like a good name," James said, "I like Harry."
Then behind us, a man was looking at me with a creepy look.
"Um, Tyler," Calvin said, "I think your being watched."
"What?" I said in disbelief. I looked around and saw him get startled and act like he wasn't watching.
"We gotta get out of here." James said.
As we started walking, the man followed us.
"We need to take a detour," James said.
We ran until we reached an alley way, it seemed like it was the worst place to be in this situation. The alley had four man hole covers, when James put his thumb on one and the man hole opened up to reveal a secret passage.
"C'mon guys," James said "let's roll,"
The Catacombs were the creepiest way to the other world, but the forest was more dangerous, so this was better.
"This catacomb system is spectacular," Calvin said, "I wish I brought a camera so I could post it on my blog."
"That wouldn't be smart," I said.
While I told Calvin why it should even think of that, Tyler found a small cylinder on one of the catacomb shelves with the words, "Plotea Device" engraved on it. Tyler put it in his pocket for safe keeping. Afterwards, we went onward to our destination. With no knowledge of what would happen.
Princess Celestia paced the floor as she waited for her son to come, she hoped the best of her son, not wanting subtle hostility. Even if he does, Princess Celestia would understand if Tyler did. She hasn't seen his face since she left Tyler at his father's doorstep. The thought of the night it happen made her uncomfortable.
"I hope he even comes," The princess wished.
"Ever since we found out they're were alive," Luna said, "we've watch their dreams from a distance."
"So," Celestia asked, "do you know what they're like."
"We do a little," Luna said.
Celestia hugged Luna, never has Celestia hugged luna like now, and it was the first time in a long time Celestia acted like the way she did then, Celestia cried a little.
"Would Tyler want to come?" Celestia Asked.
"Yes he would," Luna said, "he's dreamed of you every night."
Celestia loved to hear this, it gave her hope and it felt fulfilling. She felt happier then ever.
