 * Potion Master **
 * __Dan the Magnificent__**

Daniel the Magnificent was sitting on the floor in his kitchen rubbing his head. He had just bumped it on the corner of the kitchen sideboard and was massaging the lump that was beginning to rise near his temple. I can't tell you what he was saying because if I did, your parents would probably not let you read this book, but he wasn't in the best of moods and when that was the case, it was best to keep well out of his way. His servant, Jonas, had heard the thump from where he was busy in the vegetable garden and rushed in to see what had happened. He was dressed in green overalls which were speckled with dirt. He had a purple bandanna tied around his head. "Dan, are you OK? Another fall I see. Do you want me to get you an icebag?" Jonas asked. He didn't quite manage to hide the smirk on his face. "No dumbhead!" yelled Daniel the Magnificent, "Just help me up. And you can wipe that smirk off your face quick smart or I'll do it for you!" Jonas displaced the smirk and helped Dan up off the floor. He started to fastidiously brush flour and dust from Dan's long, brown robe. "Look at you. You look like someone who has just come second in a flour throwing competition." "Stop that you fuss-pot," said Dan, " and pick up that rolling pin before I trip over it again." He pointed to the offending kitchen utensil which was lying on the floor near the kitchen table. Jonas picked it up and put it carefully back onto the bench then quickly left the room and headed back to the vegetable garden. He'd decided that he'd much prefer the company of some carrots right now rather than hang around to have Dan further vent his frustrations out on him. Dan had been baking a fresh batch of invisibility pies flavoured with mango. He was partial to mango and it was difficult to get good mangoes even at the peak of the season. He had just recently run out of invisibility pies and needed some more so that he could use them and sneak down to the village market in Kirl without being seen. Eating one of the pies made you invisible for exactly 58 minutes. When he made invisibility pies he was careful to store them away immediately as a visitor once ate two of them not knowing what they were. He has never been seen again although for a while he was heard moaning and pleading for a cure but even that stopped eventually. Open, on the kitchen bench, was what would have looked like to the casual observer, a cookbook. It was about the size of a small exercise book, covered in soft leather. Unremarkable at first glance it was in fact Dan's treasured Book of Potions, a book packed full of recipes for all of Dan's marvelous potions and other magical concoctions.The recipe for invisibility pies was visible and went like this...

Invisibility Pies. (Number 34) One of these pies will make the eater invisible for exactly 58 minutes. But be warned that they make your body invisible, not your clothes. Wandering around in your birthday suit is quite refreshing on a warm day I have found. Just make sure that your clothes are handy to you after the 58 minutes is up! Ingredients: SHORTCRUST PASTRY 2 cups plain flour 150 g butter 1 tablespoon caster sugar 1 egg yolk 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water frog slime to glaze FILLING 2 ripe mangoes (peeled, deseeded and minced) 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon corn flour Magical ingredients: One 2 day old egg from the nest of a drunken eagle (The species doesn't seem to matter.) 1/4 teaspoon powdered dragon snot sifted icing sugar to serve METHOD Sift flour into a bowl and rub in the butter with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the caster sugar. Add the egg yolk and enough water to form a firm dough. Knead lightly and chill for at least 15 minutes.Roll out half the pastry thinly on a floured surface and cut out 10 rounds about 7 cm wide. Roll out the rest of the pastry thinner than the first lot and cut slightly bigger circles, about 8.5 cm wide. Oil a patty tin and press the bigger rounds into it.Mix the filling ingredients including the egg and the dragon snot in another bowl and divide this evenly between the 10 patty cases. Dampen the edges of the pastry rounds with water and place the smaller rounds over the larger ones, pressing the edges together. Make a small hole in the centre of each and brush carefully with frog slime.Bake in a preheated oven, 200 degrees C, for 15 to 20 minutes. When cooked, wave your left hand over the pies with a V formed between your 3rd and 4th fingers and say the following magic words, "egritty balconneloy frestible derwant en cood lististhtathith." Note: Obtaining the 2 day old egg of a drunken eagle is a little tricky. Leave a small container of good brandy near the eagle's nest. When the eagle has consumed the brandy, sneak up and pinch the egg. Hope then that it is two days old.These pies are quite delicious when served with a sprinkle of icing sugar and a little vanilla cream. Oh, and never eat two of them in one day or it is quite likely that you shall remain invisible forever! Very upsetting for doting mothers!

One of the book's more peculiar qualities was that the contents of it were only visible to either those that Dan wished, or else someone of particular magical abilities. If anyone accidentally found the book, it would appear quite blank. Dan put the pies to cook in the oven then poured himself a cool drink of hollowberry juice and soda water. He felt a slight nagging pain in his stomach and knew that his old complaint was returning. He was worried that it might take him quickly but knew in his thousand year old bones that he still had some months before his final demise. Dan knew that his time on the earth was nearly over. He needed a replacement to carry on his work. He had been searching for a suitable candidate now for nearly a year and he thought he'd finally found the right one. He was a boy, a goat herder, who lived in the village of Pandigoe, a three day brisk walk from his home in the foothills of Mount Hiraz. He walked to the browsing birdbath to check on his chosen protege. The birdbath was made of white marble and he kept it on his back verandah. He'd bought it at a second hand junkshop and discovered that through it he could see anything in the land of Rominy if he just wished it. Very handy! But even more remarkable, on Wednesdays he could see up to a fortnight into the future. (Why just on Wednesdays Dan had never been able to work out!) He looked into it now and wished to see Bregan Barns. "Ahh. There he is. In the field near his village sitting under a tree, singing; to his goats. He is a strange one, but I suppose there is no-one else to sing to at the moment," thought Dan. He listened to Bregan's song for a while. My lovely ones, my own. Oooo-oo-oo My white-haired, bearded beauties. -oo-oo By night and by day, my beautiful bovidae. Oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo Bregan was accompanying himself on a crookatar, a four stringed instrument used by just a handful of musicians in Rominy. His voice was clear as spring water and the rising and falling notes of his crookatar brought joy and wonder to the listener. Dan was enchanted and even more convinced that his choice of a replacement was a good one. Someone who was proficient at the crookatar would have skills in other areas. Dan waved his hand over the birdbath and the image dissipated. He went to the window and hollered for Jonas. "Jonas, come up here. I have something I need you to do." Jonas put down the hoe he was using and leaned it against the wall of the vegetable garden. He wiped his hands on the towel near the water trough and made his way to the back veranda. "There will be a good crop of carrots this year Dan," he said. "The onions are looking good too and I think..." "Yeah, yeah, OK! You're quite the agrobiologist, I know," Dan interrupted, "I'll be looking after the vegies for the next few days. There's something I want you to do." TO BE CONTINUED......

Hands and Bo’s Adventure Through the Portal Bertha, Mary and Bo sat at the playground discussing what they had for breakfast. Then along came Hands (walking on his hands, he had legs but didn’t know how to use them) and asked them to follow him. They walked to the side of the portable classrooms (as in floating classrooms) and climbed underneath. Mary ducked under, “Hands, where did you go? Hands, this isn’t funny. HANDS!” Suddenly everyone was calling out Hands’ name. “Where did he go?” exclaimed Bertha “Hands! Where are you?” screamed Bo “What are you doing?” yelled Mary “This is funny!” said Box Cat, laughing. Everyone turned around and stared at the new member of this conversation. He was practically a cat in a box. “Excuse me, can you please explain why this is funny?” asked Bertha. “Well,” started Box Cat. “You see I’m from another world and Hands, your friend (obviously) has entered my world, so when he entered my world they needed to keep the population the same so they had to spit another person out into the world Hands came from.” “OK, I did not understand a word you just said so I’m going to go find my friend.” said Bo. Everyone was shocked. “NO, don’t go,” exclaimed Mary (Bo and her where together!) but it was too late. Bo was gone. // Meanwhile in Box Cat’s old world // “Ahhhhhhhh,” Bo heard a scream. It sounded a lot like Hands’. “Don’t worry I’m coming, ahhhhhh.” There were mini Tongues chasing after Bo. They led him to a mini cave underground. There, there were 2 other victims, Hands and.... “My names Oira,” said Oira. “I’ve been trying to stop the Lickev for years, will you help me?” “Yeah if I wasn’t trapped in here!” exclaimed Bo. “It’s OK I’ve got a map,” said Oira.

// Meanwhile in Box Cat’s new world // Box Cat was talking about his old world. “There’s also a hunter who hunts your type. His name’s .........”

// Meanwhile in Box Cat’s old world // Bo, Hands and Oira had just gotten out of the cave. “OK, now tell me where it is!” exclaimed Oira. “Where what is? What are you talking about?” asked Hands. “The portal, so I can go through and take over your world, Mwahahaha.” “OK, that sounds scary. Umm, it’s, I don’t really know. Where did you end up Bo?” “I’m not sure either but it was surrounded by trees and it was only a few metres away from where we are now,” answered Bo. “SHOW ME WHERE IT IS!” yelled Oira and he pulled out a gum-gun (a weapon that shoots out gum and makes you stuck for years). “OH NO NOT A GUM-GUN,” they both screamed together. // Meanwhile in Box Cat’s new world // Box Cat was continuing to tell the others about his world. “There’s also a Dachshund named Susie who never gets hit by a gum-gun even though she’s extremely long.” // Meanwhile on the other side of Box Cat’s old world // Susie, Dachshund of 12 years old and length of 1 metre was singing to Hannah Montana: //If you could see // // The other side of me // // I'm just like anybody else, can't you tell // // I hold the key // // To both realities // // The girl that I want you to know // // If only I could show // // The other side...the other side // // I want you to see // // The other side...the other side // // The other side of me // When she heard two boys yelling, “OH NO NOT A GUM-GUN.” <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> Susie was terrified of gum-guns but didn’t want other people to be stuck either.

Susie ran as fast as the wind (and stopped to catch her breath a lot). She had her MP3 player and was still listening to Hannah Montana. She ran to Mr Tyson’s house (a dolphin out of water) because he was the only one that could free people if they had already been hurt by the gum-gun. // Meanwhile on the other side of Box Cat’s old world (where Bo and Hands where) // Oira was getting frustrated. “OK, IF YOU DON’T TELL ME I’LL SHOOT THE BLUE GUY!” “We really can’t remember. We need a few more hours of searching, don’t you think Bo, mate?” Hands had no reply. He looked to the side. There Bo was covered in chewing gum. Then Hands couldn’t move either. Suddenly he heard a bark and a kind of dolphin sound that sounded like the dolphin had a croaky voice. “I’m Susie, here to protect everyone from gum. Now, who called?” “No one, you just came. Now Miss Metre, time for you to get gummed,” said Oira. “I don’t think so,” said Susie and she ran up to Oira and knocked him to the ground. Mr Tyson had unchewyed both of us so we were off. “Bye Mr Tyson, see you another time. Now time to get you two back to earth.” Susie went through the portal and saw, “Hello, I’m Foxey. Now there are a few things you need to know before you enter eart.....” “Oh, be quiet,” interrupted Susie. “Umm, Yes, OK Miss. Go right through,” said the frightened Foxey. One at a time, Susie, Bo and Hands each went through the portal. When they came out the friends were all surrounding it. “Who came out when I went in?” asked Bo “No one did. The machine thingy must be broken. Oh well,” said Box Cat. “What happened?” everyone was asking. “Well,” started Bo, “We were captured by mini tongues and then captured by a hunter of our type called Oira and then he shot us both with a gum-gun and then Mr Tyson got us out of the gum and then Susie brought us back here and in the portal there was a fox named Foxey and Susie told him to be quiet and then he got scared of her. Oh, there’s Susie over there,” both Bo and Hands pointed behind them (Hands pointed with a leg) but to their surprise it wasn’t Susie they saw. It was Oira! “HAHAHA,” Oira started laughing. Then he pulled down a suit. It was Susie. They all started laughing. By Emma

<span style="color: #4cc8c8; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> Story By Natalie, based on a different story but with a twist. On the night of October 31st Jasmin was inviting her 5 friends to a Halloween party and then for a sleepover. The first to arrive was Natalie. Natalie was one of Jasmins best friends. So, Jasmin and Natalie waited -for what seemed like forever - five minutes until the doorbell rang, it was Jess. When Jess came in she was surprised of how much effort was set with the decorations. Next to arrive was Zoe, then Keshi, followed by Sabrina. The first thing they did was play zombie tiggy. Natalie was getting “ // IT // ” the most. They were about to go and have a drawing comp, when the phone rang. Jasmin went and answered it and the man who was on the phone said “I am the man with the bleeding finger, I am 3 houses away”. Jasmin thought that was really weird so as a reply she said, “Stop prank calling me you freak”. Jasmin returned to the game and Zoe asked, “who was that?” “well…blaa blaa blaa blaa” Next they went and played karaoke, then the phone rang, “I am the man with the bleeding finger, I am 2 houses away.” Jasmin was starting to get scared but it was Halloween so there would be a lot of prank calls. Soon enough they were setting up their beds in front of the T.V. They were going to watch a movie called “The ring”. They all went out to the kitchen to get movie snacks when the phone rang AGAIN! This time Sabrina answered the phone, “hello”, “I am the man with the bleeding finger, I am 1 house away”. Once Sabrina had told them what that was about, all the girls were really scared and they all ran into the lounge room and into their beds. Once everyone calmed down Jasmin turned the movie on. They were halfway through the movie when the doorbell rang. Jasmin thought it was her dad returning from work so she ran to the door and answered it, but it wasn’t her dad at the door. A mysterious man was standing in front of her. Jasmin shut the door and yelled to her friends “ come here”. In a few seconds she could here footsteps running down the down the hallway. When her friends appeared with her she opened the door and he was still standing there. “ I am the man with the bleeding finger” then all of the girls screamed and he spoke again. “ I am the man with the bleeding finger, can I have a band-aid.” Just after he said that everyone cracked up laughing because they were so scared before and it was just a man in need of a band-aid.

-- ] ==> //EQUIPMENT// <== [ -- //First thing you should know is that you'll need armour, otherwise you'll be fried. You should think about not getting metal armour, as this can heat up very hot indeed! So chain mail or leather is good. Sword: a nice long pointy one that can pierce dragon hide and actually reach through to the heart. The best brands for swords like these are: Swords 'r' Us, Kill-a-dragon Swords and Safeway. Shield: a relatively big one, but not too heavy for then you can't run around and dodge fire and claws. NEVER GET A WOODEN ONE! It will just be a pile of ash at the end. Places to get these are: Shields 'r' Us Defend-from-a-dragon Shields and Coles. Helmet: when getting one pay close attention to not getting a metal one. A hot face is worse than a hot backside. Leather caps or hunting cowls are good.// //Earplugs could be a good idea at the end too (don't ask why just get it).//

-- ] ==> //HOW TO GET THERE// <== [ -- //Get a horse from your stable, if you do not have a horse...GO AND GET ONE. They are vital! That is, for looking good. Oh, and for getting there. If you cannot buy a horse borrow one, if you cannot borrow one, I'm afraid, you'll have to walk. If you are doing this, take food. You could be riding or walking for a long, long time. Get your hat and sunscreen. Who knows how sunny it will be? Be on a good lookout for bones from dead knights because this means there is a dragon nearby, and any dragons. Look at the sky too. Dragons can fly you know! Now you should be ready to go, so have you got your:// //-Horse(if you can get or have one)// //-Food// //-Hat// //-Sunscreen// //Got all of it? Off you go! And take this book if you like. I do suggest it!// //(Oh, and remember! Slip Slop Slap Slay!)//

-- ] ==> //ON YOUR WAY THERE// <== [ -- //You will leave the town and everyone will most likely be cheering. You go out the city gates and look back at your good old town. You will think "Will I EVER see it all again?"// //No, probably not, but you can try! You will come to daaaaarrrk forest.OoOOo... spooooookkyyyyy!!!! Anyway you should meet bandits on the way maybe a few goblins? Just to tell you I haven't actually done this before. But don't let that put you off at all! You will come out of the forest and there will most likely be a big mountain there. You probably will get wet either from swimming across a river or it had been raining. You should climb the mountain and there usually is a dragon there. Unless some other knight bought this book (I hope they have!). So if there is then unlucky you!//

If you don't have any fear in you at the moment, well, your the next Sir. Lancelot. By this time you won't be scared. You'll be terrified. Fight that dragon all the same. Start to taunt him. Like, when he (or she) roars say "Shut ya' mouth Badbreath!" or "What you gonna do? BREATHE on me? HA!"// //When you say 'Ha!' lunge forward and take the dragon by surprise. Drive your sword at the chest. Most likely the dragon will defend with it's claw and hit you. You might be winded. It will breathe fire on you; well, it will try to, unless you can manage to dodge. By this time you will being feeling hot: either from sweating, or from the dragon. Lunge again and again; try to stay behind it to attack from behind. Eventually one of you will get tired, and the other will kill. Hopefully, that's you. Now you may not kill it completely, so, find a sword. There should be a few lying around from dead knights.

This is only the first two chapters The Door of time Survivor

He stood up and looked around but he was still dizzy from he’s crash landing, so it was no use. Eventually Jeremy got used to it, so he stood up and tried looking around again. “Where am I?” Jeremy started looking for a clue to where he was. Soon Jeremy started looking for a way home. “A’ha”, Jeremy saw an opening, it was another door shaped portal. Thinking this would take him back to his home, Jeremy went inside half expecting to be back in his home sitting by his presents, but that was far from reality as he ended up in what looked like a jungle **“WHA!!!”** Without time to think, there was a sudden thump of feet that sounded like thunder and soon after that there was a really loud Roar and Jeremy began to get scared, **“MUM!!!”** shouted Jeremy as loud as he could but the only reply he got was another really loud Roar but this time Jeremy could see what it was coming from, it was a giant T-REX was in front of him. It had giant teeth and two great big eyes and just by hearing its ear piercing roar made your legs turn to jelly. It had scales covering its body just like most reptiles of today! Jeremy quickly turned around to run but it was no use because of the fact there was absolutely nowhere to hide let alone run to, he knew he was about to be dino-food, but to his amazement he wasn’t, for another portal opened and he was falling through it. He woke later in a prison somewhere in Rome, it was dark and murky and was made of stone and the window had a good view of the coliseum. “Hey kid” the ragged looking old man Jeremy was sharing his room with spoke “I know a way out of here” he said sounding weak “see that outline around those stones.” “Yes” Jeremy said, there was a dark outline around some of the stones the man was pointing to. “Open it!” Jeremy ran over to the now more vivid outline and pushed the stones they fell back revealing what looked like a tunnel. **“WOW!”** Jeremy said in bewilderment. “go kid” the man said his voice was now so weak that it was almost inaudible. “Come with me” Jeremy said. “No you go”. Without thinking twice Jeremy started to climb upwards. Unfortunately he was spotted by two guards who made a frantic dash to catch him. They followed him up the tunnel which was now vertical. Jeremy was so busy that he didn’t look behind himself all the way out of the tunnel so he was shocked when he saw that the guards were chasing him they were gaining ground on him too! The guards were now close enough to grab him so they reached out to grab him but another door shaped portal opened and Jeremy had fallen through. With another **THUD!!!** Jeremy landed back in the blue room but this time he could see it more clearly, on the walls were videos of his past and what looked like his future, it was as if someone was stalking him!

 * Ch.1-Dino Food **
 * “BBBRRRIIINNNGGG!” ** it was the sound of Jeremy’s clock. It was his birthday so he raced down the stairs yelling **“MUM,** **DAD!”** and started running like crazy! Then without warning a blue door shaped portal opened and he fell through **“AAAARRRGGH”** **THUD**. Jeremy hit the ground hard and began seeing double.
 * Ch.2-Escaping certain doom **
 * “CHARGE!!!” ** there was a loud noise as Jeremy had another crash landing “oww” he said to himself. Jeremy stood up and looked around himself, to the left of him there was a big battle going on, Jeremy started to think about where he was. Finally it clicked to him where he was. He was in Greece.
 * “FOR SPARTA!!!” ** there was another loud call from the side Jeremy was on. Suddenly two men with swords came running at him, Jeremy quickly ran to a small hut on the side to escape the soldiers who were gaining great ground on him but it was too late he was hit on the head and went unconscious.

One day in the perfect world there was a chicken. The chicken lived in a small cage made from old iron bark. The space inside the cage was the size of two or three full grown cows. It wasn’t that much space for the chicken, but it was his home, just the way he liked it.

The next day on the farm, the farmers were trying something new for a change. They were going to feed the chicken cabbage. They had never really tried it before. I wonder why?

“I wonder if this one will act natural, after we feed him the cabbage.” One farmer whispered to another farmer.

The chicken tried to pinpoint what they were saying. “Gee. I wonder what they’re feeding me today? I hope it’s potato skins and not apple cores again.” the chicken thought to himself.

Then the farmers came over to the chicken. “Here you go.” the farmer said in a soft voice.

The chicken stared at the cabbage. He wondered why they would do this to him. Why? He was feeling really hungry, so he decided he would eat it.

Then he took a tincy, wincey bite. “Wow!” he said, “Wow!” he said again. “I can talk! Yippee! Yahoo! Wooo!” he yelled, then he sat down and wondered how. How could this have happened? Then he focused on the door. Zzzzzaaaaaapppppp! The door disintegrated into dust.

“With these powers, I could be a super hero.” the chicken said with pride. “Oh no! It happened again Fred! It happened again!” a farmer said, with touch of disappointment on his face.

The next day, the chicken woke up and the farmers surrounded him. “Get him boys!” But before the farmers could get him, he blasted like a rocket through the roof of his chook pen. “Wow! I can fly too. Now that’s cool!” he said. “Now what do we do Boss?” Asked one farmer to the head farmer. “Catch that chicken and bring him to me. We need to experiment with this so called Super Chicken”. He answered with an evil laugh. “Okay Boss”. The farmer agreed.

When super chicken was flying around he looked down. A lady was being robbed by a mysterious man. “I’ll save you, little lady!” the chicken said in a cocky voice.

When he caught up to the man, he looked closely. He was a man from the farm. He screamed at the chicken, “My orders from Boss is to take you down and bring you back. Boss’s plan worked perfectly.” “Not as perfect as he probably wished.” Super Chicken curved and dashed. He shot a laser beam at his feet, “Take that!” The man screamed in pain as his feet started to melt and fade away. “You exposed my true form and now I’m gonna get you for that! Arghhhhhhh”.

He tried to swing his fist at Super Chicken, but he was to late. Super Chicken was fast as lightening. No one, not even his own clone could hit him.

The man’s skin was melting even more, until you could see a slimy creature left. Then Super Chicken took an upper cut from the slimy thing and then Super Chicken returned the favour to him. Then the thing ran away, like the whimp he was.

Super chicken was on a case that Sherlock homes would never do. So he went back to the farm and he thought, “If I was a farmer, where would I keep a base…? In a beer cabinet of course!” He thought. So Super Chicken went to the beer cabinet, then the door slammed shut!

There it was. A thing that was tall, slimy, spiky and scaly. It was the final battle.

In the background, all the things were singing ‘The Final Count Down’ together. Then the head thing sprinted towards Super Chicken like an angry ape. Then some metal bars came out of his shoulders and pushed him near the wall. A razor came out of his back. Then Super Chicken shot a wild laser and hit the head boss straight in the eye! Then Super Chicken hit him straight in shin. Each time he hit the head boss, the other things started to feel the same pain that the head boss felt. So Super Chicken thought, if he destroyed the head boss they would also perish to death.

So Super Chicken tried to hit him with a laser. It didn’t work, so he kept shooting him in the face until he stopped. Nothing happened, only his face was gone. So then he tried a different tactic. He winged him, straight in the guts. He staggered to the ground and said, “You win this time, Super Chicken, but remember this, I will not give up on you. Ever!” Then he started to melt into the drain. Super Chicken was safe for now… Super chicken always kept his guard up, just in case the things came back.
