Adventures of Spidey–The First Step-Chapter–7b

          Your life as a human would be complete in all sense by drinking this potion. You would now be a normal person. You won’t have any problem in  following human custom. But this should be a secret. You should not by any means tell it to anyone that you have been transformed by magic even if it costs your life or else it would have a lot of consequences (problems).

          “I promise”, Antsy replied with a bit of surprise but didn't question it. Rufus extended his green liquid and Antsy drank it. It had a soft and mellow taste. She was asked to sit and all waited for her reaction. But nothing happened. Then Rufus turned back to his room and brought another two beakers of red and green potions and it was repeated on Spidey too. He too had the same experience. Both sat there for another five more minutes and then Rufus spoke. So now we’ll have to make plans to help Ramo.

         First thing tomorrow morning Antsy has to go with Roby  and collect some flowers  from the forest near Ramo’s place. But make sure you sing. “Sing? But I can’t sing”, Antsy replied.

          Well now you know to do that. I said to sing because, only singing can attract Ramo's attention. He hates people's voice but he gets attracted very quickly to singers. You have been given all these talents in your potion. So don’t worry. “But how are we going to contact Roby? And what is his role Rufus?” John enquired. Don’t worry about Roby, I’ll bring him to you and his duty is to escort Antsy to Ramo’s place as Spidey cannot accompany Antsy to Ramo because he hates people.  And Antsy, don’t worry about Ramo. He won’t be able to do anything with his magic. He has been invalid for some magic hours. "What is a magic hour?" Spidey enqired. Its two human hours.

          In the magic world, when one is incapacitated for more than one magic hour and haven’t used his wand, he would be deactivated from magic. “But that’s terrible!” Antsy replied. Yes it is. But if he would like to become a wizard, only a perpetual (long lasting) wizard can bring him back to the magic world. “And who is that?” Spidey asked. Well, you can say I’m one of them. But I can bring him back only if Ramo wishes. or else my wand would not have the power to do it on my own will. “Oh!” So for the time being, we’ll disperse and settle for the night in your own rooms. Good Night. And the next instant everyone found themselves in their own respective rooms. Spidey on a web in his room and Lisa in an ant hill, both Spidey and Antsy in their spacious suites.

          Spidey and Antsy had no difficulty in doing their nightly rituals (practices) as a human being and lay down on their mattresses, feeling the comfort of human luxury and thinking what lay in store for them the next day.

          Take care until tomorrow. Bye.
