Simmer
DG reviewed the recipe in the blue cook book as the soup simmer on the stove. Everything was going great until the pan started to shake and levitate. DG took a couple steps back as she frantically flipped through the cook book in order to figure out what was going on. It was already to late the pot exploded and the force of the blast sent DG flying across the kitchen.
Disaster
DG regained consciousness to find herself in Cain’s arms as Raw was healing her body. DG slowly looked around the kitchen, and noticed the walls were still intact but everything else was a disaster. DG tugged on Cain’s coat sleeve and look at him with confusion in her face “What happened?”
Perplex
Cain was put in charge of investigating the kitchen explosion. So far the problem perplexed him. How does a pot of soup levitate and then explode?
Spell
Cain walked in the study where DG was sitting with her family and Tutor . Cain was holding two books covered in soot. “Do you remember which book did the soup recipe come from?”
“Um, I think it was the blue cook book.” DG said.
Cain wiped the soot off both books so he could tell which one was the blue one. The soot refused to come off.
“Here Cain let me try some cleaning magic.” Tutor said. He walked over to Cain and held his hands over the books. Tutor mumble “dirt be gone.” There was a flash of light and the books were back to normal.
“Wow! You really need to teach me how to do that!” DG said.
“I will teach it to you when you have more control over your magic” Tutor said.
Cain was staring at the books he was holding. He looked up from the books and seemed to be at lost for words. Tutor glanced at the books then started sweating.
The Queen noticed how nervous the two men were acting asked “Is there something wrong?”
“Yes, my queen, I just figured out what triggered the explosion in the kitchen. It was not done by an outside source. It was caused by Princess Dorothy Gale .”
“What!” The royal family said in unison.
“Yeah right, Cain. Like I purposely made a bomb so I could blow myself and the kitchen up!”
“Kid, you may not have done it on purpose but accidentally. "The explosion was created by you confusing your spell book with the cook book, which happened to be the same color.” Cain said as he held up the newly-repaired books. Both were blue.
One of the books was title Best Soup Recipes of the OZ and other was title Explosion Spells for beginners.
There was a stunned silence. DG’s face was red with embarrassment as she stood up, and fled the room.
Mistakes
DG had been hiding in her room under the bed covers ever since she found out that she was responsible for the kitchen being destroyed. DG decided it was better for everyone if she stopped using her magic before anyone else got hurt. DG heard a knock on the door but she ignored it. She was going to stay here until she died.
DG heard the opening of the door, and soft foot steps enter her room. She felt the bed sag as someone sat down. The person pulled down the bed covers, and she was staring directly into Cain eyes.
“You know kid; you are not the only one who has made mistakes. Mistakes are part of life. Everybody who is human is going to make them. What set us apart from each other is how we handle it. We can give up or we can learn from them.” Cain said.
Food
The Queen issue a royal order that DG was not allowed to cook, and to leave all food peroration to the professionals.
