Septimus' P.O.V.

Me and Marcia were walking around the Castle somewhere all she had told me was that we were meeting someone very important. "Marcia who exactly are we meeting?" I asked. "All will be revealed in due time Septimus just be patient," Marcia said. 'As stubborn as usual' I thought. We came to a wall. "This is it," Marcia said. "What?" I asked. "Just wait a bit," Marcia said walking over to the wall. She knocked on the wall and a small bit of light appeared. "Who is it?" A voice asked. "Marcia Overstrand the ExtraOrdinary Wizard and my Apprentice Septimus Heap seventh son of Silas Heap," Marcia said. "It'll be a minute," The voice said and the light vanished. An arm came through the wall and signaled us to....come in? The arm vanished back into the wall. Marcia walked through the wall and I reluctantly followed her. "What is it you want Marcia? I happen to be very busy at the moment," A boy about 13 with blonde hair,pale skin,and ocean blue eyes said and I have to admit he did look kinda cute. "Well Sammy me and my Apprentice wanted to see your work," Marcia said. "I didn't even know this place existed until like 2 seconds ago Marcia," I said. "Oh another snarky Apprentice. I remember when Mr. Longjohn's Apprentice was like that," The boy...Sammy I guess said. "He's not snarky. He's the seventh son of a seventh son," Marcia said. "So a pompous brat got it," Sammy said. "Not that either Sammy," Marcia said. Sammy took out a vial of blue fluid and shook it. "Sammy just tell Septimus who and what you are," Marcia said. "Whatever. Hey name's Samuel Hackel my friends call me Sam or Sammy and i'm a Mystyk. Happy Marcia?" Sammy said. "Very," Marcia said. Samuel started to walk away with the vial of blue fluid. "Um Marcia what's a Mystyk?" I asked. Samuel froze in his place. "You don't know what a Mystyk is?" Samuel asked. "No," I said warily. "Follow," Samuel said in a Magykal tone. Me and Marcia started to follow Samuel.

We walked into a room of vials filled with colored fluids. Blue,purple,emerald green,brown,red,sea green,black,and orange. "A Mystyk is like a Wizard but we keep our natural eye color and we collect arts of Magyk when you Wizards can't handle them," Samuel said placing the vial he was holding next to a vial of purple liquid. "You see Septimus each of these vials holds either Pure Magyk,Pure Flyte,Pure Phisyk,Pure Queste,Pure Syren,Pure Fyre,and Pure Darkenesse," Marcia said. "Pure Magyk comes in either purple or blue the lucky art while all the others have one color," Samuel said pouring a vial of sea green liquid into a pot. "I'm guessing what you're pouring is Pure Syren?" I said phrasing it as a question. "Yup," Samuel said as the vial emptied. "Got it," I said. Samuel put the vial away and spat in his pot. Samuel stirred the Pure Syren combining his saliva with it. I shuddered. "Okay that should be good," Samuel said and snapped his fingers. A broom carrying a tray came into the room. Samuel put his pot onto the tray and the broom left. "Everything in my home is Alive except for the house itself that'd just be a bother to deal with," Samuel said. "Marcia does Samuel have....and she's not here," I said. "Yep she was Transported out of my house since this is your lesson not hers," Samuel said. "Where are your parents?" I asked. "I don't like to talk about it," Samuel said. "Dead?" I asked. "No they're alive but again I don't wanna talk about it," Samuel said checking the only vial of what I was guessing was Pure Darkenesse. "Okay. Any siblings? I have seven," I said. "Nope well not anymore," Samuel said. "Not gonna ask," I said. "Yeah you shouldn't. Now where did I put that key?" Samuel said. I leaned against the table and felt something metallic under my hand. I looked at it and saw a key. "Um this key?" I asked. Samuel looked over and said "Um yes actually. Thank you," Samuel said taking the key. I thought I saw him blush a bit. "Well if you need me to do anything for you just go ahead and ask," I said. "Don't worry I plan on it," Samuel said looking back at me with a grin. It was my turn to blush this time.
