Chapter 25

The next day, the lessons went by rather slowly.

It was in Stealth and Elusion class when she fainted. Lustria was practicing her stances for fighting and then it happened. As she perfected her 'moves', she suddenly felt a pain in her calf. SHe winced and then collapsed to the floor, a big heap of appendages. Coach Whidisk, alarmed, called Neeva to take her to the infirmary, which was in the hospital wing.

Neeva, who was quite strong asked Coach Whidisk if Riley could come.

Riley and Neeva carried Lustria very carefully to the infirmary. There, they saw Madam Joyce and Aevum in a heated discussion.

"Well, that is not rational or sound! That is definitely not the best treatment for pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis because it is an obscure term that ostensibly refers to a lung disease caused by silica dust! Madam Joyce, you really think that using 'evanescunt' will solve everything?! No, it won't, which is why we must use a different spell. Here is one I came up with a few minutes ago:

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis evanescunt. Nec revertetur ultra in sempiternum, sæculum sæculorum. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis evanescunt. Nec revertetur ultra in sempiternum, sæculum sæculorum. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis evanescunt. Nec revertetur ultra in sempiternum, sæculum sæculorum. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis evanescunt. Nec revertetur ultra in sempiternum, sæculum sæculorum. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis evanescunt. Nec revertetur ultra in sempiternum, sæculum sæculorum.

You must utter the incantation four times for it to work. Try it!"

"Oh! What happened to Lustria? Lustria! Lustria!" Aevum saw them enter.

"Aevum! She fainted in Stealth and Elusion Class! Fix her Madam Joyce! Quickly, please!" Riley was very worried and anxious.

Madam Joyce glanced over her shoulder and said,"Aevum. Sorry. Ms. Desino: This one's yours. I have to try out the spell. You there, yes, you, Riley. Can I test this spell on you? No? Very well. Aevum, I mean, Ms. Desino, be careful. You know the spell for fainted people, especially children, right Ms. Desino?"

"Yes, Madam Joyce," Aevum said obediently.

"Quis , quaeso, a somno excitem , quae te coegit perpetua quies oculos tuos. Quis , quaeso, a somno excitem , quae te coegit perpetua quies oculos tuos.

Quis , quaeso, a somno excitem , quae te coegit perpetua quies oculos tuos.

Why isn't it working?"

"Utter the words with power, dear!"

"Okay. Quis , quaeso, a somno excitem , quae te coegit perpetua quies oculos tuos. Quis , quaeso, a somno excitem , quae te coegit perpetua quies oculos tuos. Quis , quaeso, a somno excitem , quae te coegit perpetua quies oculos tuos. Still no result! Last time, Quis , quaeso, a somno excitem , quae te coegit perpetua quies oculos tuos."

"Huh? Where I am I? Why are you here? I thought I was in Stealth and Elusion class! Oh! Hi, Madam Joyce!"

"Hello, dear! How are you today?"

"Fine."

"So, why am I here again?" Lustria asked.

"I heard from these two that you fainted?" Aevum said smugly.

"Hey! I'm just seven years old! I am very susceptible to fainting," Lustria nodded her head vigorously, agreeing, with herself.

"How did you faint, dear? Did it hurt anywhere?" Madam Joyce sounded concerned.

"Well my calf was hurting. Does that mean anything?" Lustria said.

"Yes! It means something that is very important! It means that-," Madam Joyce's eyes widened. Aevum cut her off.

"Someone possessed you. Quoted directly from a book 'When one feels a pain in their left or right calf, this can only mean one thing. They have been possessed by someone or something.'"

"Gee, thanks for the information Aevie."
