Hey Wizard and Dragon fans! Calm down! Just because the title of this post is "December 1st" it doesn't mean I time traveled to the future to see what kind of a day it will be! Although that does sound like a good idea. Oh well, guess that's just another thing to add to my to do list. WOW! My to do list is so empty that on it I wrote down "write stuff on to do list" Hm. I guess I'm usually so busy fighting goblins, and doing missions for the council that I never plan anything to do on the days that I'm not doing wizard work. Hey! I have an idea! Oh it's great!!! Okay everyone, I have something to do. In fact YOU are part of it! Yes you heard right, YOU readers are going to be part of my fun. The whole thing will be about you, and it will be an event on behalf of the winter holidays! That includes Christmas, Hannakah, Kwanza, or whatever holiday you celebrate in the winter. But for now I can't tell you anything else it will be a great surprise! And I will post it on December 1st! (Hm? What's with all the excitement?) Aaagggggghhh!!!!! You're not supposed to be here! I thought this was your Tuesday nap time?!?! (Well I couldn't get any rest with all the thinking going on in your nogin, and- wait. Is this an fun blog thing for the readers? Oooh! this is cool!) Aaagggggghhh!!!!! Go back to bed!!! (No, no this is interesting! Woah! that looks fun! Your not telling them now? They're 'gonna kill you if you don't tell them this. They're way too anxious listening to this conversation anyway.) Well you're making them! Now go away! (Nah! They should hear what you have planned for them rigth here, right now.) It's supposed to be a surprise! If you tell them You're going to be one sad little part of my mind that will wish itself non existence! (Hey that's actually a pretty good idea!) Wishing your self into non existence? (No, just telling them! Thanks!) Nooo!!! (Ok here's the scoop!) LA! LA! LA! LA! LAA! LAAA! (There is going to be a big-) "There is a chatter-box coming from the south, use this duct-tape I have near me wrap it 'round, and 'round his mouth!" (*WRIP!* MM! MMM! M!) Phew! that was way too close! Sorry readers you'll just have to wait untill December 1st. But still, remember to look at my website when that day comes. You should tell all your friends about it too! They'll have as much funas you do now, watching youtube vid's, looking at pictures of wizards and dragons 'which I will put up soon by the way', and reading the dangerous, yet somehow hilarious, adventures of Me, Frostagian, Adam, Tom, and of course who would ever forget the annoying- Whoops! I mean the wonderful little angels, Ziggy and Zany! But just between you and me, the real nicknames I give them are, The Gruesome Twosome. Now remember, on December 1st I don't want you to waist any of your valuable time, so don't even try bringing up my blog page every two minutes. I will just submit my blog post at 3:00 pm. Wait a sec..... Wow, most of you are usually out of school by 3:00 anyway so I guess this isn't really a problem for anybody going to a public school. Sorry for all of you home schooled readers. Trust me I know how it feels I'm home schooled too. Anyway, keep looking at my website between today, and December 1st. I will still be putting out blog posts pretty much every day in the time it takes for december 1st to come. So coming to the end of this blog post I want you to remember to #1 tell all your friends about my website, and the special thing happening on December 1st, #2 only check my website for the special event on December 1st at 3:00 pm, and finally #3 keep checking my website between now, and December 1st. Now I'm off to go feed Ziggy and Zany. Wait! Not before I write down, "Take duct-tape off conscience's mouth." on my to do list. But for now, I think I'll leave him as he is. I'ts nice to have a little peace and quiet once in a while.

Hey Wizard and Dragon fans! I had a horrible dream last night I went on another mission to find the jewel and my evil seven year old cousin Ricky came along and... oh, wait. That's reality. GRRRRRR!!!!! Okay, maybe I'm over reacting, and cousin Ricky isn't out to ruin my life. Next thing I know Ricky comes in and says, "Time for breakfast loser." No. I'm definitely not over reacting. I come out of my tent to find everybody around the fire pit. "What took you so long?" asked Frostagian "Yeah, breakfast is over now. There's nothing left." said Adam "Oops." said Ricky innocently. "I guess I forgot to wake you up on time." "Could things get any worse?" I thought to myself. Once again I spoke too soon. Ziggy and Zany come out of Ricky's tent and act as if I don't exist. "Well better get camp set up." Ricky stands up, takes his wand out, and casts a spell putting the entire camp in his pack. Frostagian whistles and Adam just stands there with his jaw dropped. Ricky's not only great at magic, but he's also good at finding ways to rub it in your face. So now that the moment of bragging is over everyone puts on their flying shoes, and ties on straps so they don't fall off. Before we take off Tom brings me over to where nobody else can hear us and says, "I've heard that annoying humans make great goblin bait. How much do you want for the little show-off?" "Sorry, as much as I like the idea I'm afraid he's not for sale." "Oh come on. It would be a pleasure to take him off your hands and stuff him into the mouth of a king goblin. We'd be doing a service for whatever peace is left in the world." "I wish I could, but my parents would be mortified and they would either disown me or feed me to Fred the troll at magic academy." I said regretfully. "Oh, and by the way," I added. "When I say Fred will eat anything, I mean he'll literally eat anything that's in front of him." "Oh well." sighed Tom "Whatever you want. But just remember my offer." "Will do." I said. "Will do." "You slugs ready?!?" mocked Ricky. "We're coming, we're coming. Yeesh!" I muttered. So we set off once again down into, the seemingly bottomless, pit of darkness. At that moment I didn't know just how true that was. We were descending for what seemed like forever with little or no talk between the long lasting minutes. Adam only said one thing. "I wonder if these shoes can get tired and fall asleep." everyone's face was pale for the rest of the way down, except for Ricky's of course. I'll bet the little brat didn't answer that question just to keep us all nervous. Well, I can definitely say it worked. "Will this dreaded descent ever end?!?!" Tom yelled to the minuscule dot, that was the huge cerulean sky. As if to answer his question, lots of small flickering lights appeared below us. "Wow. Well, there's your answer I guess." mused Frostagian. "That's got to be the goblins new hideout." said Ricky. "Duh!" I thought. But as we came closer I realized it wasn't a flat surface. The hideout was made of multiple ledges like the one we camped on last night. "Wow!" whispered Adam "That must have been hard to set up." "Yes, you can see that this fortress of theirs took awhile to build." Tom whispered back. I was about to look back in my pack and tell Ziggy and Zany to not take anything right now, but I forgot that Ziggy and Zany went to the dark side. They didn't even look like they wanted the beautiful, shiny, gold and jewels. I floated there hoping this madness would soon end. Ricky would go home, Ziggy and Zany would come to their senses flying back to me, and everything would be normal again. "Okay." I said. "On three we make a mad dash for the Dragon Jewel, and after that we skedaddle out of here as fast as our winged shoes will us." "One... two... THREE!!!" we all started off towards the gem. Of course all the goblins ran to stop us, but what surprised everyone except Tom and I most was that when the goblin king ran over and picked up the Dragon Jewel Ricky came over and the goblin king kneeled before him. "All hail Ricky. Lord of chaos!" the goblin king shouted in his gruff voice. "Okay, now I'm really confused. I thought Ricky was on our side" said Adam "Yeah, this is getting a little too weird." agreed Frostagian. "I knew it the moment I met him." I yawned. "But he still shouldn't have." I added quickly. "All I don't understand though is how this fits in your plan to rule, and/or destroy everything." "Well It's pretty simple now." said Ricky. "The Dragon Jewel isn't just a close to the Wizard, Dragon peace treaty. It holds great power that the 'so called' Grand Council wouldn't use because of their foolishness. With this jewel I can bring the great dragon back to life. But when I bring him back to life he is forced to obey my every orders." While half of me was busy being horrified and impressed the other half noticed Ziggy and Zany were still perched on Ricky's pack, and apparently they didn't like what they were hearing. So right as my evil cousin finished his speech Ziggy decided to give Ricky a hot-foot. "OUCH!!!!!" he screamed, flinging the Dragon Jewel into the air. Preforming a wonderful loop-de-loop Zany grabs the jewel and gracefully lands on my shoulder along with Ziggy. "FLY!" I yelled. And we took off soaring hi into the sky. Ricky tried to follow, but thankfully for us that hot-foot Ziggy gave him burned the wings off his shoes. After reaching the top, which seemed to only take five minutes, we got in the new jet the pilot ordered, and flew home. Usually when you get home from something on a Friday you play video game, or go over to a friends house. But today I explained the whole story to my parents, had them teleport the Dragon Jewel to the council with a brief report, and fell asleep even though my clock said it was 4:00 pm.

Hey Wizard and Dragon fans! Sorry I haven't posted much. It's been a slow two weeks, and five days since my last mission. The council was really befuddled as to how the ropes on our grappling hooks snapped. There has been a big debate over weather or not they should risk another team to go get the gem, or not go after the gem at all. Finally they decided to let us have another go at it. Except this time we are going with a professional goblin hunter. He goes by the name, Tom Berserkerblade. About now you must be thinking "Whoa! Archmage is so lucky!" Well, I sure wasn't thinking that. (No. You were more like "Awww. But I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm such a baby.") Hey! Zip it brain boy! (Thhhppppppbbbbbtttt!!!!) Boy that was mature. Anywaaay. It was a disaster. My cousin Ricky was coming over and I had to watch him. Did I mention that the little guy is 7. He knows magic too which makes him even worse. He is a magical genius, and he always makes me look bad. Everyone is always like, "Why can't you be as good as little Ricky? He knows how to help." or, "You could learn a thing or two from Ricky. He won the Wizard country competition you know." and when I told them I couldn't watch him because of the mission they thought it would be just great if he came along. What makes matters worse is that the council agreed with it. So I end up bringing him with me on the private jet to the goblins new hideout. Right as soon as I bring him on the jet he makes me look bad. The pilot couldn't find his keys so Ricky just comes up and makes them poof out of nowhere. "Wow!" said Adam "I can only make my stuff disappear." "Yeah, he's pretty good." commented Frostagian. "At least Ziggy and Zany are on my side." I thought. It turns out I spoke too soon. Next thing I know he's giving my wyverns massages and telling Adam and Frostagian tips on casting spells. And here come the comments. "Hey Archmage! Did you know your 7 year old cousin is better at magic than you are?" Marveled Adam "Yeah, and did you know that he won the Wizard country competition?" added Frostagian. "We are at the pick up spot for Tom Berserkerblade" came the pilot's electronic voice from the speaker above. Ziggy and Zany were so calm they didn't even flinch. Boy I can't wait till this mission is over. When we stopped the door opened and in came a half-dragon. His skin was dark green, his eyes were a dark shade of amber, and you could see the overlapping scales on his skin. He was wearing mud-stained pants, a safari jacket, and the kind of hat you would find if you were on a jungle cruise. But to top it all he had a vest and belt under his jacket which were bulging with equipment that helps catch goblins. "Hello." he said in a gruff voice "The name's Tom Berserkerblade, and I'm the professional goblin hunter." Ricky puts down Ziggy and Zany and stands up to inspect the goblin hunter. He looks him up and down and says in a sarcastic tone, "Really? The Net Bound 3.0? Only an amateur would carry around outdated gear like that." I was horrified "Excuse me?" said Tom "I am so sorry about that!" I said hastily bringing my cousin back to his seat. "He doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut." The rest of the plane trip went along terribly. Tom and Ricky had a bragging contest, and my cousin sure wasn't helping out with the situation. When we finally got to our destination all that anyone could talk about was Ricky. We get out our gear and get ready to go but something happened. I started to feel the ground shake. Apparently everyone else felt it too. They were all holding on to something. Suddenly huge cracks in the ground appeared right under the jet. The pilot opened the door and got us all out before the ground swallowed up the jet. "Is everyone all right?" asked the pilot. Everyone groaned in response which thankfully meant none of us were dead. "That was close!" said Adam in short choppy breaths. "Yeah, way too close." agreed Frostagian. "But look!" I exclaimed. "That opening must lead to the goblins new hideout!" "How are we going to get all the way down there!" complained Adam. "After that rope incident I don't really trust the grappling hooks." "That's easy." said Ricky the bother. "All we have to do is cast the flying sandal spell." "Huh?" I said "It's on your list of spells the council gave you. Any smart wizard would know that." Ricky said in the most Smart Alec tone he could make. I glared at him and opened the list of spells. Ricky was right, as usual. I found the flying sandal spell in the middle of the list, and started to read it out loud. "The Greek god Hermes knew all sorts of things, So help us be like him and let our sandals sprout wings." I looked down at my shoes, and at first nothing happened. But then I could see wings come out of the sides of my shoes! Looking around I saw that everyone else had wings on their shoes too. "Well? Shall we fly?" Ricky asked looking at me with a mocking stare. We took off from the ground and began to descend down the dark chasm. We found a nice spot somewhere down and decided to camp there for the night. So we set up tents and hit the hay. I'm certainly not enjoying this mission.

WOW! This may be the shortest post I've written. Well I'm typing this post to tell you that there is a brand new picture page! Except I haven't really put any pictures on yet. But I promise you readers I will soon. In the meanwhile I have put up a new you tube video to keep you interested until I get more pictures and write a new post. Remember, I will have pictures and a new blog post very, very, very, soon. Keep commenting.
