THE ATTIC
Neo could hardly sleep. Tomorrow was hisbirthday! He was turning 10.
He was having a sleep over with his best
friend, Mel. He wondered what he was getting.
A laptop, iPod, or maybe an iPad. Neo
couldnt wait to find out! Since he couldnt
sleep, he woke Mel up and told him to follow
him to the attic. What are we looking for?
asked Mel, since they usually hunted for strange
and weird objects, which they almost always
found.
Strange things have been happening to me
since I was eight, said Neo. At 8, I could
knock people back just with my hands, and this

year, I have been able to disarm people by
waving my hands at them. Just the other day,
my mom was wearing a shirt that said Fire
Dragon Academy, and I think that if we find a
trunk or some objects that say Fire Dragon
Academy, then we will be one step closer to
solving the case of my magic-type abilities.
Ok, lets go! said Mel. Quietly they snuck
through the house and into the garage where
they climbed the ladder into the attic. Whenthey were up in the attic, they found a wall of
crates blocking their path.
On the count of three, push. said Mel. One,
two, three!
They both dashed toward the mountain of
brown crates, but it was no use. The crates
were too heavy to push. Can you wave your
5

6/42
hands at the crates and make them fly back?
asked Mel.
I think I can, replied Neo.
When Neo focused hard and waved his
hands, instead of just knocking the crates back,
they exploded and wood landed everywhere.
Watch out! shouted Mel. They both ducked,
and soon the explosion was over.
They ran past the broken slivers of wood all
over the floor (from the sharp exploded parts of
the crates), and hunted for something that said
Fire Dragon Academy. They found shrunken
heads and old clothing, but nothing that said
Fire Dragon Academy.
Then, they both saw a gleam. They saw gold.
They both ran toward the gleam. When they
found the gleam, it was only a small piece of
gold.

They hunted for a few more minutes, and
were about to give up, but Neo saw a trunk they
missed in the corner and ran toward it. When
they got there, they saw the trunk had Fire
Dragon Academy carved on the top. They tried
to open it, but it was locked.
It had a key lock, so they couldnt open it.
Then, Mel had a brilliant idea. You can blast
the lock like you did the crates, said Mel. Neo
focused hard on the lock, waved his hands, and
then watched the lock go flying in the air and
land on one of the unbroken boards.
They both tried to lift the trunk lid again but it
was too heavy. Then, Neo waved his hands at
the trunk and focused on knocking it back.
When he closed his eyes and opened them
again, he saw the trunk lid, open. Way to go!
said Mel.

They saw a few interesting objects, a stick
with sparks coming out of it, a broom that looked
like it could fly, and a box which Neo slowly
opened.
When he looked in the box, he saw a green
and blue spiral and got sucked in with Mel.
They landed in front of a really tall building.
When they looked up, they saw a sign that said
Fire Dragon Academy, and giant doors. They
saw handles nowhere, so Neo tried to knock the
doors open, and even tried to blow them up, but
nothing worked. I think I can blast a hole in the
wall, said Neo. So they ran to the other side of
the academy, and Neo blasted a hole in the walland they walked in.
There were jars full of what looked like blood
and eyes, and a bunch of boxes piled up on one
side of the room. Then, they both saw a flash of
red light and they were stuck to the wall.

Who are you! shouted a man.
Neo Ryse, I shouted. And this is my friend
Mel.
Do you work for Lord Dalgo? the man asked,
Forget it, Ill use truth serum on you. And he
put this strange liquid in our mouths and asked
again Do you work for Lord Dalgo?
No! we both said. Then the man said I am so
sorry. Lord Dalgo and his men often appear atthe school causing problems and I thought you
worked for him.
My name is Reggie Faithful, said the tall
man with a scarred face said.
Who is Lord Dalgo? asked Neo.
Lord Dalgo is an evil wizard who wants to
take over Fire Dragon Academy, and use the
power of its students magic. answered Reggie.

The Fire Dragon Academy can use your help to
stop him, Neo. You need training, and a wizard
duel is a good way to practice magic.
I dont know magic, said Mel.
No matter, I have trainer wands, replied
Reggie. And you will need a real wand Neo. Ihave a collection of them over by the wall. Pick
the box that stands out to you it will contain
the wand. And Mel, I have a few by the boxes.
Anyway, if you guys are confused right now, I
can explain.
Can you explain, asked Neo? Ok, let me start
at the beginning. Reggie said.
Fire Dragon Academy teaches magic to
young wizards, where they learn magical ways.
When they are 11, they leave the academy and
do magic on their own in the wizard world. The
wizard world is where you are right now. You
probably came through a magic box. Every

wizard gets a magic box, a pilsu, when they turn
10, and they use it to travel between the two
worlds. Since you probably dont have another
pilsu, you can use mine.
Neo, cast any spell in the pilsu to make the
portal go to the right place, and jump in. The
wizard world is a world where everyone uses
magic. Mel, you get a training wand because
you arent a wizard. It has magic inside it. Neo,
you get a real wand because you have magicinside you. Lord Dalgo is the ultimate bad
wizard.
He wants the Fire Dragon Academy so he can
make it a training place for himself. And, he
wants to kill every wizard in the wizard world
and use his or her power.
Anyway, I was expecting you Neo, said
Reggie. I just didnt know when.

12/42
How did you know I was coming? asked
Neo. I have a magic crystal ball that sees the
future, said Reggie. My crystal ball tells me
that you will have a battle with Lord Dalgo. I
suggested a wizard duel so you can practice
magic and train for the upcoming battle.
Here, let me free you both so we can have a
wizard duel. It will start when you have your
wands.
Reggie waved his wand in the air and Neo
and Mel fell from the wall. Neo went over to the
wall and chose the case that was bright yellow,
and he opened it. He saw a brown wand inside
that had squiggles all over and a carved handle.
He picked the wand up and a bright light was
emitted from it and all the other wand cases
exploded and the wands from the exploded
cases magically flew back to the wall where the
different color cases were rebuilt with different
12

colors. Mel chose from the trainer wands and
selected a red one with spirals on it.
One, two, three, wizard duel, shouted
Reggie.

! ! ! THE DUELS
The wizard duel started out with Reggieblasting a red burst of light at Mel, who launcheda force field and deflected the spell. Reggie
dived to avoid Mels force field when Neo blew
up the crates and trapped Reggie with the
shattered pieces. Reggie shot a green beam of
light at the shattered pieces making an escape
hole. Neo heard Reggie say Hocus pocus try
to focus, halt now or go pow when he froze
Mel, so Neo said the spell Reggie said under his
breath and froze Reggie. Then, Mel and Reggie
unfroze and congratulated Neo. Reggie now
explained that he fended off Mel first since hisforce field could make any spell backfire.
How did we know all those spells? Mel and
Neo asked at the same time.
I placed a charm on you when I let you off thewall. The charm that gives you the ability to cast
14

hundreds of basic spells will wear off in a few
minutes.
You both did great, especially since it was your
first wizard duel. Reggie explained.
Neo, how did you know how to freeze me?
Reggie asked.I heard you mumble it when you froze Mel.
Neo said.
Oh. Reggie said.
Then, they heard something. Reggie opened
the office door to try to figure out what was
going on and Neo and Mel saw a rainbow of
colors and energy zipping through the air.
Reggies heart was racing when he steppedoutside and saw Lord Dalgo, so he quickly ran
back into the office and used a levitating charm
to move everything in front of the door and used
a spell to magically lock the door.

7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
16/42
Neo and Mel, you have to get out of here.
You are not ready to battle Lord Dalgo.
I want to help, said Neo. If you want to help,
you should cast a force field. Just say Hocus
pocus try to focus, seal without a delay and
throw the key away. Then, Reggie waived his
wand and everything magically moved away
from the door with a great swish and the door
unlocked and flung open.
Neo said Hocus pocus try to focus, seal
without a delay and throw the key away and a
powerful force field came out of Neos wand and
flooded out the door. With a flick of his wand,
Reggie closed the door, and all the furniture flew
back in front of the door and the force field
stopped.
Explosions could be heard followed by
screams. They knew instantly that Lord Dalgo
16
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
17/42
was ready to pounce on them like a cat hunting
a mouse. They didnt dare open the door. What
do we do now? Neo asked as he quivered in
pure shock and fear.
I really dont know what you can do here, but
you might want to go back home so yourparents dont worry. Five minutes in the wizard
world is an hour in the real world. You left last
night, and so in the real world it is 7 A.M. What
time are you supposed to leave your room?
7:15. said Neo.
Then you two better go, now.
Ok! Neo and Mel both shouted because they
were already across the room.
Wait! shouted Reggie. It was too late
though, because they had already jumped into
the portal.
17

7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
18/42
Reggie was going to remind Neo to cast a
spell into the pilsu, but they had jumped in.
They would end up in the Alchemy for Wizards
and Witches class that he sometimes taught.
Reggie ran over to the pilsuand leaped in after
them. They couldnt be seen by anyone, so he
had to be quick to get them home. When
Reggie landed in the Alchemy class, he saw the
classroom destroyed, with Neo and Mel
standing at the head of the room.
Instantly, he knew during the class, Lord
Dalgo must have attacked the classroom
because of the broken glass on the floor, the
same glass they stored potions in. The class
must have tried to fend off Lord Dalgo and his
followers with potions. Neo and Mel, you are
lucky that no one saw you. You would have
been toast. Everyone would have attacked you
with potions.
18

7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
19/42
How come potions, and how come we are
here? asked Neo.
This is Alchemy class, and you are here
because you forgot to cast a spell into the pilsu.
This is where I set it to go because I sometimes
teach this class when the regular teacher is ill.
Sorry, I forgot to cast a spell into the pilsu.
Neo said.
Its ok; just hop back in and make sure to
cast your spell so you two can go home! You
have to go right now. It is 7:10. I will stay tomake sure that everyone from the Alchemy
class is safe.
So they ran to the pilsu and Neo cast the
freezing spell in the box, which then made the
box start spinning faster and Neo and Mel were
sucked in, in the nick of time. It was 7:14.
They climbed down the attic ladder and ran
back to Neos room to change into pajamas.

They headed to the living room, where they sat
on the brown leather couch and watched
cartoons until it was 8:30. Then, with Neos
parents, they opened his birthday presents. The
first present was from Mel and it was a lego set,
which he loved. The second gift was from Neos
grandparents; an iPad. Neo was so excited he
almost passed out. He had always wanted an
iPad! He was confused because he didnt get a
present from his parents; instead they said it
was breakfast time.
After breakfast, Neos mom and dad took Neo
and Mel to the attic to get his gift. Neos mom
and dad were shocked when they saw all of the
exploded boxes.
Neo shouted, I have a mission to do, and I
will stop at nothing to do it.
He carefully ran over to the trunk and with his
mind, knocked it open. Neo and Mel jumped in
20

7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
21/42
and closed the box top behind them,
accidentally snagging an old t-shirt pulling the
key to the lock with it.
Back through the portal, they raced back to
Fire Dragon Academy and entered through the
big hole they had made earlier. Reggie waswaiting for them.
Guys, time to learn some important spells.
First is the blackout spell. Just say Hocus
pocus try to focus, dont fight me with all your
might or go out like a light. Next is the drowning
spell, which creates a massive amount of water.
Just say Hocus pocus try to focus, go to the
deep sea or look at me. Last spell I will teachyou is the fire spell. Just say Hocus pocus try to
focus, play this game or be surrounded by
flame.
We should have another wizard duel. I will
Reggie didnt get to finish because the door to
21

7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
22/42
his office burst open and one of Lord Dalgos
followers came in. They all ran for cover, and
Neo cast the full body bind spell, which he cast
because he was scared, at the follower, and it
worked. Reggie stepped in and cast the fire
spell at the follower who instantly burnt up while
Mel cast the water spell, also freaking out, and
put out the fire quickly and covered the entrance
with water.

7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
23/42
! ! ! ! TRAPPED
! Once the follower was dead, theydecided they had to take action. They almost
didnt make it, so they decided they had to helpReggie protect his office. They first all cast the
force field spell, together they chanted Hocus
pocus try to focus, seal without a delay and
throw the key away - the three force fields
joined to create a giant protection field thatspread to every corner of the office.
What do we do now? asked Neo.
Jump in the pilsu again, no need to cast a
spell, the portal is already open. Reggie said.
Neo and Mel jumped into the box. They thought
they would land home, but they didnt. They hit
23
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
24/42
the closed trunk top and got pushed back into
Reggies office.
Why are you still here? Reggie asked.
We hit the closed trunk top and got pushed
back to your office. Neo said.
Did you close the trunk top when you jumped in
the portal at home, because it would be closed
forever. asked Reggie.
Yes, we did. Neo answered.
Well, the only way to get home is to use Lord
Dalgos wand to open a portal because it is a
more powerful portal since he is a dark wizard
which makes his wand stronger. You need to
find his pilsuand cast a spell in it.
Then, using Lord Dalgos wand, blast the
trunk lid open. You have to find Lord Dalgos
pilsu because that is the only portal his wand
24
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
25/42
will work in. The only way to get Lord Dalgos
wand is to steal it or defeat him. Reggie said.
And if you are going to fight Lord Dalgo, you
will need even more training. I have a training
room I can take you to. We should spend time
in the training room in order to practice the
spells, make potions, and come up with
weapons combining all of magics power in
order to defeat Lord Dalgo.
Reggie waved his wand and then tapped it on
the floor and a secret passageway opened up.
They all stepped inside. The room was very
dark, and using all the dim light that filtered into
the room, they looked around. They saw a ton
off glass containers with all sorts of things in
them, and there was a glass door to the left with
a bunch of crates. That room to the left is the
training room. The crates are to explode, burn,
and just plain destroy in every way. Reggieexplained. The jars contain potion ingredients.
25

7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
26/42
Ahead is the enchanting chamber. It has many
books with magic spells, and enchanting wands
and objects that will make your enchantments
stronger. We will go to the potion lab first, which
is just past the potion ingredients.
Reggie led them to the potion lab, where hepulled a sheet of paper out of a blue folder
hiding under the potion lab table. When Neo
read the paper, he looked confused.
It said The Exploding Potion. Ingredients: 5
eyes of newts, 2 hairs of a Choctowian, 15
bones of a skeleton, and 2 hairs of a unicorn.
What is a Choctowian? Neo asked at the
same time as Mel.
A Choctowian is a type of wizard world
chicken that has hair instead of feathers. It has
3 eyes and triangle feet. It is super vicious and
fast. Good thing I have a ton of Choctowian
hairs. You just need to find the bottles as part of
26
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
27/42
your training. To make it harder, each bottle
only contains one of the object. Reggie said.
Neo and Mel started immediately, not wasting
any time.
The 5 eyes of newts were easy to find, they
found all 5 within a minute. They were so easyto find because there was bright yellow labels
on them, so all they had to do was run to a
yellow label and it was an eye of newt.
27
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
28/42
The other ingredients were very hard to find.
The unicorn hairs were behind countless bottles,
and so were the bones. The hardest to find
were the hairs of a Choctowian, and they almost
gave up. They started heading towards Reggie
to tell him that they gave up finding the hairs of
a Choctowian, when Mel tripped on something.
What was that? asked Mel.
You tripped on a glass bottle, answered Neo.
When they looked at the label, they jumped with
joy. It was a hair of a Choctowian. They looked
around where Mel tripped and saw another
glass bottle. It was another hair of a
Choctowian! They ran over to Reggie andhanded him all of the bottles.
Good job guys! said Reggie. Now, it is time
to mix the potion. Come with me over to the
cauldron, and I will show you how to mix this
potion.
28
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
29/42
Reggie led them over by the wall and he
snapped his fingers. A table with a cauldron
appeared out of nowhere. Now, open all the
bottles and set them on the table. So, Neo and
Mel opened all of the bottles and set them on
the table. First, put in 1 bone, crushed up.Crush it up by hand. So with a lot of
squeezing, they crushed the bone and put it in
the cauldron. Next, put in all the eyes of the
newts and the rest of the bones, whole. So
Neo and Mel dumped all of the eyes and bones
into the cauldron. Now, put the unicorn hairs in
the cauldron and mix. After they dumped the
hairs in, they mixed it with a spoon sitting on the
table also. Last, put the Choctowian hairs and
some water and mix.
Go over to the potion ingredients and look for
blue labels. That is water. Neo and Mel ran
over to the potion ingredients and got a bottle of
29
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
30/42
water and ran back. They then added the hairs
then the water and mixed. The potion turned
green and red and started bubbling. Then, it
made exploding noises. Use some of your
glass bottles and bottle the potion. Be careful, if
it touches you, you can say goodbye to skin.
Use the spoon. When Mel picked up the
spoon, it immediately disappeared. Was that
part of the training too? asked Mel in an
annoyed tone. Yes, it was, answered Reggie.
Spoons are in the training room. Go get one.Fine! answered Neo.
Mel and Neo sprinted to the training lab.
When they opened the glass door, they heard
explosions. Duck! shouted Neo, but it was too
late. Part of the ceiling exploded, separating
Neo and Mel.
As Neo was digging his way towards Mel,
someone attacked him. Neo didnt know what
30
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
31/42
to do. He shouted Hocus pocus try to focus,
halt now or go pow and froze the enemy. Neo
ran over to the enemy and examined him. It
was another of Lord Dalgos followers. Neo
could tell because he was dressed in black with
a long flowing robe. Help! Mel shouted. Mel
was being attacked by the same person who
had attacked Neo minutes earlier. He must of
unfroze, thought Neo.
Hocus pocus try to focus, play this game or
be surrounded by flame shouted Neo. The fire
did the trick. The follower burned up, then Neo
shouted Hocus pocus try to focus, go to the
deep sea or look at me and put out the fire.
Thanks a lot! said Mel. No problem.
replied Neo. Now, time to find those spoons.
After a few minutes of searching, they found the
spoons, hiding under some crates. They ran
back to Reggie and told him that they had killed
31
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
32/42
one of Lord Dalgos followers. Great job!
Reggie said. Did you get a spoon? Yes, we
got a spoon, answered Mel. Now, bottle the
potion very carefully and it will be almost
complete. Said Reggie. Almost complete?
asked Neo. What do you mean? I mean that
after you bottle the potion, you will have to cast
a magic spell. Neo and Mel bottled without
getting potion on them and capped the bottles.
Here is the spell. Reggie said.
Say: Hocus pocus try to focus mix this right or
youll feel the bite!
Hocus pocus try to focus mix this NOW or youll
feel the bite!
Repeated Neo and Mel.
Guys, you said it wrong.
32
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
33/42
Shouted Reggie, but it was too late. The
potions exploded and everyone took cover.
Once they were a safe distance away from the
potions, Reggie said You said now, that meant
explode as soon as you were done. Oh. said
Neo. That is why they exploded. Thankfully,
you didnt bottle all of it, so you still have more.
Bottle the rest and then cast the spell again.
Just dont say now. Reggie said. Mel bottled it
while Neo mumbled the spell.
Complete. said Neo and Mel at the same time.
Now, go to the training lab and try one out
each. After all, you have 50 of them. You use
them by opening the top and tossing a little bit ofthe liquid. For much more powerful results,
throw the potion at your target and the whole
glass bottle will smash, taking out more potion
and creating a super powerful explosions. This
method is good for long range and short range
33

because it can go farther and is more accurate
and can be used in rapid fire.
Neo went first and Mel after Neo into the
training lab. Lets go to opposite sides of the
crate volcano and smash our potion on top of
the crates to practice aim and see how much ofit explodes. Neo shouted over the noise of
Reggie repairing over in the potion lab.
One, two, shoot! shouted Mel.
They both react within a second, throwing
their potions to the top of the crates, where they
exploded with such force that all of the crates
exploded and so did the ceiling, making it rain
crate and ceiling pieces. Wow! shouted Neo.
We will have to get Reggie to repair this mess.
They ran to Reggie at lightning speed.
Reggie! said Neo after he got his breath back.
34

7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
35/42
Can you repair the training room? Everything
kind of fell apart. Sure! replied Reggie. I
was kind of expecting you to ask that. As you
can see, the Exploding Potion is super strong. It
is so strong because you added Eyes of Newts,
which will make any potions effects 50X
stronger.
Reggie then waved his wand in the air and
they all teleported into the training lab. How did
you teleport us here? asked Mel as Reggie was
repairing the training lab. As soon as Reggie
finished repairing, he explained. I used a
complex teleporting spell that only works short
range. I didnt want to tire you two out again, so
as a special treat I thought I would teleport us
here. Now, the only thing left to do in the
training lab is to enchant your wands.
Every wizard has a strong suit in magic, and
that is what you will enchant your wand with. I
35
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
36/42
need to find out what Neos strong suit is and tell
you what you have to say to enchant your wand.
Mel, since you are not a wizard and are only
using a training wand you will have to sit this
one out! I will use all of my magic, and what you
defeat me with is your special strength.
The wizard duel began with Neo knocking
Reggie up against the wall with a beam of white
light. Next, with a flash, Reggie was stunned.
Neo had cast a spell that froze him. In a few
minutes the spell wore off. Wow! Reggie
commented. You have very strong battle
spells! That is your strong suit. Cool! said
Neo. That is really epic. What is your strong
suit Reggie? asked Neo. My strong suit is
elemental spells, answered Reggie.
Neo, follow me. We are going to the
enchanting chamber. I will take Mel with us.
The enchanting chamber was a huge, red
36
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
37/42
chamber with a bookshelf smack in the middle.
The room was warm and humid. When they
approached the bookshelf, the books fluttered in
the air and the bookshelf transformed into a
table. In the middle of the table, a slot about the
size of their wands appeared. Neo and Mel,
this is the enchanting chamber. Another part of
the training for Neo will be to find a book with his
strong suit in it, find the correct spell, and put
your wand in the slot and chant the magic words
you find in the book. This is going to takeforever! groaned Mel. Your hint is: Look where
it started and where it ended. whispered
Reggie. What does that mean? started to ask
Mel, but Reggie was already gone.
I think I know what it means. Neo said. We
started at the potion lab and our last stop was
here. I am thinking we only have to look at the
books in the enchanting chamber and potion labsections. We can eliminate looking at the
37
-
7/29/2019 Fire Dragon Academy Preview
38/42
training lab books. Mel, you find all of the potion
books and I will find all of the training lab
books. Ok, replied Mel. After Mel agreed,
they split up.
I found something! Shouted Neo. They both
ran to the table, where Neo presented the book.Neos book titled Battleus Contratus flipped
open and all the words on that page
disappeared except for two. It read;
PAGE 219
So Neo flipped to page 219 and it read
PAGE 9
When Neo got to page 9, the enchanting
