”As more runes become known, and other students rise to fill the role of teaching them, I will award them with a teaching position. Make me proud.”
As they each took their staff, a look of appreciation and determination came over each of them. Joseph was standing on a small box, so that he didn't have to look up to any of them, but no one seemed to notice his effort, as they were all reverently examining their various staves.
Over the next couple of days, he practiced magic and prepared to head out and visit the gnomes. Because he could teleport, and Stella could grab him and run, he decided they could travel pretty light. If they needed anything, Stella would probably have it in her purse, or he could grab it from here, pretty quickly.
As he dealt with his second mind, more and more, they came to an agreement. The original mind would go by Joseph, but the new, second mind, would go as Joe. That made it far easier to understand who he was talking about, when he was talking to Stella, or his dad. Joseph preferred to control the body, and Joe preferred to cast spells and research. All in all, it worked out very well.
Stella still got confused, especially since Joe liked to crack jokes, to make Joseph break out laughing at random moments. When Joseph started laughing at the dinner table, and shot milk out of his nose, Joe was so amused, that Joseph couldn't get mad at him.
”Ready?” asked Joseph.
Stella nodded, and he took her hand.
TELEPORT.
They were standing in the spot where he had been laying, just outside the elven forest. He gazed out to the east, and knew that he was no longer in the human lands. There was no telling who he might encounter on his way to the gnomes.
Feeling the warning, that the barrier behind him was giving him, he ignored it and they went to start walking. The great thing about it was, every other step, he would cast TELEPORT, and they would move miles further, to the edge of where he could see before the teleport.
The wild gra.s.s of these plains, grew taller and taller, until he had to stop teleporting because the gra.s.s was above his head.
”This is annoying!” he fumed, as Stella fought to keep a straight face. He glanced at her, knowing she found it amusing that he was shorter than the gra.s.s. Then he smiled, grabbing her hand, and looked up.
TELEPORT.
Stella wasn't amused anymore, as they appeared far above the ground, high in the air. She freaked, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and fighting not to scream. Chuckling, Joseph looked ahead, seeing that there was a ridge of hills far in the distance, along with a ma.s.sive cloud bank on the horizon.
TELEPORT.
They fell into a pile, on the top of a ridge overlooking a hilly section of plains. Much, much closer, the storm he had spied before, was rus.h.i.+ng across the land. As they picked themselves up, they watched in rapt fascination as the storm was lit up with different colored lightning bolts.
”It's a magical storm!” whispered Stella in surprise and awe.
”Did you ever see one before?” whispered back Joseph, unable to rip his eyes away from the awesome sight.
”In my previous life, I was terrified of them. I never thought I would ever see one again.”
They sat on the ridge, and watched as multiple tornadoes ripped the ground up below the ma.s.sive storm cloud, while techni-colored lightening ripped through the cloud. As rain began to pelt down on them, they stood, but continued to watch. It wasn't until hail the size of pumpkins began to fall around them, that Joseph grabbed her hand and teleported them back home.
As they stood dripping wet, laughing to each other, in front of Joseph's room, his mother stepped out of the shadows and crossed her arms. Based on the look on her face, she was not amused.
