Kerry the Sorcerer and Kabrina the Sorceress: Mission to save the Royal Family

By Todd Hicks

About The Book

This is a black magic novel about two magicians who save others from harm and battle challenging foes. Their biggest mission is to save the royal family in London from an evil villain who has enormous magic power and a dangerous mansion before it’s too late. The characters in this story are fictional and any resemblance of them to any actual persons is purely coincidental.

Chapter One

A radical change awaited the unsuspecting creature. Pausing his walk, the lizard began drinking from a London lake which was polluted by the nearby nuclear power plant merely seconds ago. Suddenly, the reptile underwent a dramatic transformation.

He noticed his body making major changes. He suddenly started growing taller and bigger. Additionally, He started growing wings while slowly turning into a dragon. The lizard-turned dragon reached a height of 50 feet and a width of 10 feet.

Another drastic change took effect. The dragon could now talk and emit fire. As it exhaled, it let out a fireball. The monster realized it could spew fire simply by blowing its breath.

It then said, “Whoa! I can breathe fire now. I might as well use this new power to create havoc. I will now call myself Leonard the Dragon.”

The dragon then flew to a nearby park and set a large ball of fire on the ground that started spreading. Those who were in the park started running for their lives. Unfortunately, the fire caught six people who were close to the dragon before it set the fire. One of them was able to save himself by rolling over on the ground but the other five were not so fortunate, as they quickly died. The dragon soon flew away to cause destruction elsewhere.

Help was on the way, but only a little. A truck from the local fire department arrived to put out the fire in the park but the fire became more massive and it soon spread to the houses that were nearby. Alas, the firefighters could not put out all of these fires quickly.

Thank goodness for Kerry Rod a.k.a. Kerry the Sorcerer, the now-chemical products salesman who lost his job as a highly-paid chemist many months ago. While inside his castle a few miles away, Kerry looked into his magical ball to see if any major danger was occurring in the area or elsewhere.

To his dismay, he spotted the fires just set by Leonard the Dragon in his neck of the woods and a massive forest fire causing havoc thousands of miles away. What to do about this dilemma?

Determining his better course of action was to tackle the local calamity where more lives were immediately at stake, he powered up his magic amulet and flew to the scene of the dragon-made fires, hoping to save lives and redeem himself as an underemployed man. The firefighters had only two of the fires under control.

Kerry knew he needed to douse the other fires himself. He also knew he had to do it with one spell if possible because there was too little time to spare and his amulet would only stay charged to the maximum for a finite amount of time.

He said, “Hocus pocus. Create a fire extinguisher and bucket of water for the fires not being attended to.”

As commanded, Kerry’s amulet emitted magic dust and created a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water around each fire. The fires were doused within seconds, saving many lives and homes. About a mile away, the dragon was encountered by the king’s knights as it was walking on the streets and trampling motorists to death. Five knights who were clad in armor all over approached the dragon from the front with swords.

They had on body armor suits that were made of steel but it did them no good, as the dragon’s fire was hot enough to melt their armor and fry them to death. Next, two armored knights stabbed the beast from behind but their swords could not penetrate its skin. Suddenly, he turned around and eliminated them. The dragon then flew away. It was soon encountered by Kerry the Sorcerer in the air.

After Kerry told him to stop, the dragon said, “Prepare to meet your doom.”

As the dragon threw a flame toward him, Kerry said, “Abracadabra, douse the fire.”

Suddenly, a wave of water met the fireball and put it out.

“I must take a different approach,” Leonard the Dragon thought.

Then he sent two fireballs that missed Kerry intentionally and then hit him from behind. Kerry felt pain for a few seconds from being lit on fire but he produced an aura of fire from the power of fire he naturally possessed and neutralized the dragon’s fire.

While Leonard continued to breathe fire on Kerry, the hero said, “Hocus pocus, change the dragon back into whatever it originally was.”

The spell did not work, mainly because Leonard was not transformed into a dragon through magic.

Changing tactics, Kerry said, “Hocus pocus, strip the dragon of his fire breathing power.”

The spell worked. After Leonard futilely tried to burn Kerry, he flew away and Kerry decided not to pursue him.

Kerry wanted to go after the big forest fire now but couldn’t, knowing he was almost out of amulet power and he would have to spend a few hours recharging it. This magnified his need for a well-trained apprentice who could handle fiascos elsewhere in addition to helping him battle the most powerful foes.

Chapter Two

After crossing the drawbridge, a woman rang the doorbell next to the front door at Rod's Evil Fighting Kingdom, the castle of Kerry Rod.

After Kerry answered the door, the visitor said, “Hi, I’m Kabrina Wand. I’m here to be your apprentice.”

“Yes, come right in,” Kerry the Sorcerer obliged.

They walked to the sorcery room. Soon after they entered, Kerry began schooling Kabrina.

“The first thing you need to do is learn how to make your own magic. Follow this recipe.”

“Okay,” Kabrina complied.

She began mixing and cooking the roots, herbs and elements that were listed on Kerry’s recipe in a large cauldron. Meanwhile, Cruella the Evil Witch (Ella Meanie) was causing trouble in St. Louis, Missouri. Luckily for people there, Cruella was not in the mood to kill them. Instead, she just wanted to cause mischief. One thing she chose to do was spank some people.

For example, when a few of them walked past a tree, she pointed her magic broom at it and said, “Swat them on their backsides.”

The tree then formed a creepy face, hit the three walkers on the behind with its new long, slender limbs and laughed, “Hoo hoo ha!”

The witch herself laughed, “Ah ha ha ha!”

She then turned a man in his twenties into a frog and started sprinkling people with pepper spray. She flew around the city continuing to do these mischievous deeds. Once Kabrina finished making her potion, Kerry instructed her to put an amulet he gave her into the cauldron of magical water to soak for a few minutes. As Kabrina took out the amulet which was glowing due to being fully charged, she put it on around her neck. Kerry then started telling her how to use it.

“To cast a spell with your magic amulet, say the words “hocus pocus” or “abracadabra”, then speak the command you want your amulet to carry out. As it takes up more time, I’m trying to perfect our magic so that we can cast spells without having to say those special words first.”

Kerry then gave Kabrina a small rock.

“Toss this rock up and try to turn it into a tennis ball.”

After Kabrina tossed the rock toward the ceiling, she clutched her amulet and said, “Abracadabra, turn the rock into a tennis ball.”

The rock instantly turned into a tennis ball.

Impressed, Kerry said, “That was very good although you could have substituted the words “the rock” with “it”. Remember, you want to cast your spells as quickly as you possibly can. Let’s go work on opening and closing the front door and drawbridge.”

Once they came to the front door of the castle, Kabrina followed Kerry’s command by saying, “Open sesame.”

The door opened up and the drawbridge was lowered partially.

Once the magicians flew out, Kabrina said, “Close sesame.”

The door and drawbridge instantly closed. Kabrina repeated this process and went back to the sorcery room with Kerry.

Kerry then said, “You must use your head besides using your power in combat. It is sometimes ineffective to merely cast spells and zap your foes. Besides, you can only use your magic for so long at any given time. You sometimes have to try to take away your foe’s powers or secretly ask your amulet to tell you what your foe’s weaknesses are.”

“I understand,” Kabrina replied.

Then, Kerry said, “You will not always be able to spot crime by flying over the area. You must sometimes use this magic ball to see what’s going on around the world. Come rub this ball.”

As Kabrina rubbed the ball, she and Kerry noticed Cruella the Evil Witch causing trouble in St. Louis.

Kerry told Kabrina, “I’m going over there to stop her. Continue to work on your magic.”

Kerry the Sorcerer was able to quickly get
