The power of the blue streak (also described below)
Words are powerful things. Some words can
unify a nation. Others can break a heart. Still others can mend that broken
heart or rip apart that nation. I am here to tell you about three powerful
words. These three words carry magic. The power of each word lies in a stone. The
three stones lie in a legendary magic wand. This is the story of the Blue-Streak
Wand.
Legend has it that the wand was created
by a cantankerous old druid named Carlin. Carlin lived alone in wilds of Britannia.
His father had passed the three magical words to him, who had learned them from
his father, and so on for countless years. Carlin was so grouchy, and grumpy for
having been stuck with the responsibility of the three magic words. They were
such a burden that Carlin became intolerable, which made having an heir for the
magic words impossible. No woman would have him.
So, Carlin had to find a way to preserve
the words. He could not simply write them down. The power would be lost, or at
the very least, incomplete. He studied magic from many ancient tomes. During
his studies, he found that he could preserve the power of the words in stones.
Since there were three words, he would need three stones, but not just any
stones. They had to be magic stones.
The first green stone is from a dragon
egg shell that hatched during a full moon only on a summer solstice. You can
imagine, it was not easy to find. But grumpy, though Carlin was, he was also
determined. Into that stone he whispered the first magic word one thousand
times a day for an entire year. That word (I can tell you because most of the
power of the word no lies within the wand) is “Aawahh,” pronounced: O-Wa. In ancient
Druidian, the word means: to open. It opens a door between planes. Our plane
and the plane of existence where magic runs wild.
The second, yellow stone, is a meteorite that
fell to earth landing in the eye of a left-handed cyclops. The yellow stone was
even more rare than the green. But determined Calin had found it. And so, he whispered
the magic word to it one thousand times each day for a year. That word is “Teador,”
pronounced: Tay-Dowr. In ancient Druidian the Teador means: through door. This
word pushes a massive stream of magical energy through the door opened by the green
stone.
The final, the blue stone, was rarest of all.
It came from a pearl grown inside an oyster in the bottom of the red sea. That blue
pearl (one in a million) was eaten by an albino octopus (one in a billion),
which was in turn eaten by a left-handed, blind cyclops, which was then eaten
by the very dragon that hatched during a full moon on the summer solstice. The
blue pearl stayed in the belly of the dragon until it ate a flock of past-ripe
pigeons. The dragon upchucked the blue pearl in a breath of fire, causing its
blackened spots.
Carlin captured the stone and whispered the
magic word to it a thousand times each day for a year. The final magic word is,
“Caeyamme,” pronounced: K-eye-em. In ancient Druidian the word means: focus the
light. The blue stone focuses the magical energy going through the door opened
by the first stone and, pushed through by the second.
The power of the three stones combined forms
a blue streak of energy so powerful, the first time Carlin used the wand, it blew
the back end right off. He had to reattach it with magical blue resin and a mystical
nail.
The Blue Streak Wand is extremely dangerous.
However, the words, if said in the right order, and at the correct volume, can
be quite powerful on their own. If you do not believe me, try it for yourself.
You will still need a wand to focus the energy, though any stick will do. It
may help to use a wizard’s cloak. If you do not have one, you can also replace a
genuine wizard’s cloak with a thin blanket an any variety. I recommend you put
on the cloak, and wave your stick around, all while repeating the magic words
at high volume.
Repeat after me: "Aawahh, Teador, Caeyamme!"
If you don't get the true meaning of the words right away, repeat them louder and faster. The Blue Streak will follow. Perhaps you can't see the streak right away, or find the meaning of the words. I urge you to chant the words in front of friends. They may be able to see the Blue Streak you are forming.

Only then will you discover the true power of
the Blue Streak as Carlin once knew. I beg you, only use your new-found power
for good.
Please don't ruin the power you have found for other readers. If you liked the story, or the wand, please share it.
