Book 3 - Lisa B. Diamond
Prologue
Thwack went the ball away from the goal as David neatly kicked aside Sean's attempt to score. Sean grumbled and Jack laughed. The three of them were dressed in sweatshirts and sweatpants on top of lots of padding.
You're good at defense, David,
said Jack, smiling in the well-lit tent. They were playing in an extra-large tent in Jack's backyard on Prince Edward Island. He was the only one who had a backyard big enough to put up a tent large enough to cover an area the size of a kador field.
David nodded his thanks. He and Sean were still in elementary school, and they both felt a little in awe of Jack as he was in high school.
David, Sean, and Jack didn't attend a normal private school. They attended the Salem Academy for Young Sorcerers, along with David's twin sister, Ashira, and Jack's younger sister, Rebecca.
Even though Jack was in high school, he loved playing kador. He thought it was more fun than any of the other sports on broomsticks. Kador was similar to soccer, which was called football in Europe. The main difference being that kador was played in the air instead of on the ground. The players had to levitate themselves in the air while they concentrated on either defending their own goal, or scoring on their opponent's goal.
David, Sean, and Jack weren't allowed to play outdoors where everyone could see them due to the international magical secrecy restrictions from the Board of Magic (BOM).
The three of them were floating about ten feet off the ground, instead of the standard twenty feet, due to the restrictions of the tent. There was also a layer of padding covering the ground beneath them.
The coach thinks so, too,
Sean said. He wants David to try out for the Salem Academy East team in the spring.
Isn't that unusual?
asked Jack. When I was in elementary school, they wouldn't let you try out for either of the kador teams until the summer before fourth grade.
Well, technically they do let third graders try out for the spring season, but usually they aren't invited to join the team until they're in fourth grade,
said David.
Yeah, but the coach thinks David will be invited to join in spring season,
Sean added.
David, Sean, Jack – lunchtime!
called Rebecca. She was wearing a heavy sweater as well due to the colder weather in Prince Edward Island in October. As she walked into the kitchen, she saw Ashira shivering with the cool wind as the door closed.
It's at least twenty-five degrees warmer back home,
said Ashira, referring to her home in Georgia.
In October?!
exclaimed Rebecca. She shook her head. We might even get our first snow fall by the end of the month.
We usually don't get snow until January,
Ashira admitted. Do the neighbors ever ask about why you have a big tent up in the backyard?
Um, no,
giggled Rebecca. Dad kind of made it invisible to nonmagical people.
Doesn't anyone ever walk into it?
Ashira asked.
Rebecca shook her head. It's in our backyard. The tent goes right up to the back door when they put it up, so no one sees anyone appearing suddenly in the middle of nowhere. We follow the Board of Magic rules to the letter in our house.
1 – The Board of Magic
M om?
called David . He and Ashira had arrived back from Prince Edward Island a few minutes earlier.
Yes,
replied Mrs. Rosen, walking into the den.
What's the Board of Magic?
asked David.
Ashira sat down on the couch next to David, her eyes on her mother, waiting for the answer. There were so many new things in their lives since they began going to Salem Academy, Ashira wanted to learn about each and every one.
Where did you hear about it?
countered Mrs. Rosen.
Rebecca and Jack mentioned it yesterday. They have a big tent in their backyard, which is invisible to their neighbors. They said it had to be, according to the Board of Magic rules,
added David.
They were right. The Board of Magic is a group of international heads of state who agree to abide by certain laws governing their respective peoples,
began Mrs. Rosen.
Is every country part of the Board of Magic?
Ashira questioned.
Mrs. Rosen shook her head. In order to be part of the Board of Magic, or B.O.M. as it is commonly known, you have to be representing a group of people, and agree to abide by its laws. In return, the B.O.M. will attempt to protect your people against a common enemy, and aid your people in times of need.
A common enemy?
David asked.
