Avian Entry 3: The Bathing Battle!
My next entry in my Avian web serial, I was wondering if anyone had an easy to use website making program that can be used for free and for non-programming people like me, I'd love to know it, or if anyone would be willing to help I'd greatly appreciate it. ^w^
One of the greatest battles in the world, getting an unwilling person to take a bath, that is Seriel's battle today!
I hope you all enjoy, I would love to hear what you all think of this! ^-^

Whew, just made in time this week for my next entry. Master chastised me for being so late with my entry, and he rewarded me with pudding last week too... Have I ever mentioned how much I love pudding?! It's absolutely the most delicious stuff ever, though Master Lupus mentioned that I have a bit of an unnatural obsession with the stuff...
Whatever, the old wolf loves books way too much, ha that serves him right... Anyways, this week has been interesting. Master Lupus says that there's been odd disturbances in the area's magic flow as of late, it seems that irregularities have been happening with the Sanctum of Magic. That's the main area of the mage world, as the normal world and the magic world should never mix according to the book of magic.
Now as a mage's apprentice, my master said that I should be clean at all times. The thing is, I absolutely deplore baths. My parents could never get me to take baths, as they can't use the magic that I can! But Master Lupus can, and that resulted in a bit of a struggle between us...
¥¥¥
Master Lupus had been going over some of the basics of magic; I don't exactly know why as I told him everything I had learned from the books. He had been talking about the way magic circulates within the body when he stopped midsentence to sniff the air, he then asked me when I last took a bath. I told him the truth of course, I hadn't taken a bath for several years. From Master Lupus' face, he wasn't amused by this fact.
So Master Lupus told me that I was to take a bath, a two hour one. (Sorry, Master just looked over my shoulder was writing. He told me I misspelled irregularities... and then he mocked my handwriting... Master Lupus needs to mind his own business...) I hate baths, and the fact that I would have to take a two hour one wasn't sitting well with me. So I did what I did with my parents, I warped away with my magic!
But what I didn't figure was Master's ability to pop in right next to me, and when he did so he found me digging into our pantry. Not only did he scare me, but he made me pour lemon juice over myself! (My clothes still smell of lemon juice at this point in time... future me, I really hope you can send back a message through time telling me how to get rid of the smell, my robes really stink...)
I ran from Master Lupus flinging some small spells at him, he laughed the whole time telling me how weak I was. When I changed one of his paws into stone though he stopped laughing and started to hit me with some of his own, some of them I can't remember as master threw a temporary forgetfulness spell at me in the hope that I would forget why he was chasing me and give me a bath. Thankfully I was able to remember the bath, though I can't remember my favorite pudding at this point... (Rewritten: I just remembered! It's been a week, and I finally remembered my favorite pudding! It's Boysenberry!)
So while we were having this fight over my bath, one of the other mage's apprentices came in. He watched us for a while, he had a message for Master Lupus from his own master. After about five minutes, he called me a childish and incompetent fool for fighting with my master. He was one of the Simian race of mages, I've never been good socially, most of the Avian community hated me because I had magic and they didn't... So when I was called an idiot by another mage... it hurt.
Master noticed the look on my face and decided that it was time for the whole thing to end, he commanded me to the bath with a simple obedience spell and took the letter. After my TWO HOUR BATH, Master watched me come out now clean. We had a conversation about my past, and I told him how much the other mage's words had hurt me.
I was always told by my parents that the mages would love me like the normal people couldn't, my own parents actually told me that they were spiteful of me. How I was the only Avian who had magic and they didn't... I thought my parents loved me always, but I recently sent a letter out to them about how great it's been since I've joined with Master Lupus, I've yet to receive a response.
When I told Master Lupus all of my concerns, he told me that he'd be the father that my father had never been. He would help me through all of the hardships of life, and he'd make me take baths, which I'm not excited about....

Wow, today's journal is a bit serious... Here, I know how to lighten it up! With a joke, my parents always told me that my sense of humor is awful, but Master always laughs at my jokes! (Though some of the other mages' apprentices say that his sense of humor is as bad as mine, but I don't believe them! They just can't appreciate my comedic talent!)
So a frog mage and a horse mage enter a competition, and the frog mage wins. The horse starts to whine, and the frog mage tells him to go eat an apple.
(Hahaha, I had to laugh at this for a while. It's been about an hour since I wrote that last line, Master Lupus thought it was awesome too!) So yeah, my week has been interesting at the very least, my fire magic has gotten more powerful. Master Lupus said we'll be starting wind magic this week, which should be simple as bird mages of the past were the best with that kind of magic!
