(XI): Behind Closed Doors
The old green wizard stepped down from his podium, and swiftly passed Lylas & Thaddeus, ushering them both towards a door to their left. He tapped his glowing staff on the doorknob before turning it. A blinding light and what sounded like a low snarl emanated from the room. Barely opening his eyes, Thaddeus was confused and yet aghast at the sight of a lady dwarf tinkering with her wand. The green-cloaked wizard cleared his throat, a cheerful smile shining under his silver beard, "Ahem, Lady Taiga, we have a new arrival…"
The lady looked up at Thaddeus with a sly smile, then at Lylas and back again, "Ne'er in three moons would I have guess this scruffy one was yours, Lylas. He might be on the thin-side, (lifting up Thaddeus' arm with her wand), but he could be the mage of mastery if he tried."
Lylas laughed, patting his son on the shoulder, " That is our hope, don't let her get to you, son. This is my old friend and sparring partner, the speaker of dragon-tongue and tamer of dragons."
The lady outstretched her hand to Thaddeus, "Taiga Macfarlane at your service. You all arrived just in time, I was just finishing work on my wardrobe."
Thaddeus turned and noticed a tall, oakwood wardrobe with a single door. He marveled at its carved place into the stone wall, and the dragon head looming above. "What's inside it?"
Taiga frowned a bit, "A place behind a closed door is one I can't see, my magic might have conjured it to form, but as for what's inside, I haven't the slightest idea. What I do know is that I used time continuum magic on it, meaning you could be transported to your past, or into a future you haven't seen yet…"
The room fell silent as Thaddeus looked at his father, Taiga, and the green wizard. "I read somewhere that said all wizards need a task to show they're worthy of their wand, let this be mine."
The green wizard nearly choked on his own voice, "That is an audacious undertaking, young man! Your risks far outweigh your chances of returning, let alone your future could be altered…"
Thaddeus took a step towards the wardrobe, his hand on its doorknob. "I know, but if I don't earn my wand, how could I even live up to my destiny?"
Without another word or a glance back at his new wizard family, Thaddeus opened the wardrobe door and stepped inside…
Taiga looked at Lylas with a grin, her hands on her hips, "Well, he's got your stubbornness."
