practice magic. Any woman who did so was considered a witch and had to be
put to death. Further and even worse the family she came from was thrown out
of the Guild .Her mother who also had magical powers placed a spell around
her when she was very little so she wouldn’t acciudently reveal her
abilities. When she was old enough her mother explained the need to keep the
powers secret and lifted the spell. Thus in private when nobody was looking Henry XIV ‘s sister practiced
magic. She became very very good because she had a really great gift. One day as Henry was gathering just the right clay for his pots he met an
old lady Who asked him if he would chop some wood for her as she was old and
couldn’t do it anymore. Well Henry was tired of digging dirt so he stopped
and chopped her a nice pile. You know the old saying,” Bad at magic good at
chopping wood”.When he finished and was refusing to take any gold coins for
the job there was a sudden bright light and there was an elf. The elf said I
saw your kind deed for that little old lady and so I am granting you one
wish. Now Henry came from a magic family and he knew that elf wishes often
worked out badly but he blurted out “ I wish to be a very great magician and live forever”, The elf responded “ As you have asked, so shall it be” Henry felt a tingling and then he knew he was the greatest magician ever. Suddenly his mind was filled
with spells so complicated that no magician had dared try them for years. The
first thing he did was to create one hundred perfect pots. Then he told his
father they needed to go and visit the Guild. There he performed feats of
magic so incredible they are talked about by Magicians (now called Wizards)
to this very day. He used no wand, didn’t wiggle a finger but he could
levitate the heaviest things, change anything into almost anything else, and
just do astounding things. Every day Henry practiced his
magic. He read his grandfathers old books. He knew every spell in the
book by heart. |
