Chapter Seven

The Wind Test

M ax and Sam chose the tornado tunnel next. As they headed into the tunnel, the wind caught their breath. Max’s hair was whipping around like crazy, and Sam’s glasses almost flew right off his face. They bent forward and hung onto each other as they slowly made their way against the wind through the tunnel. When they got to the end of the tunnel, they saw a huge, angry-looking tornado. It was swirling and spinning and twisting.

“Maybe we should just go back,” shouted Max, trying to be heard over the deafening roar of the tornado. “This looks way too dangerous.”

“But then we’ll never know what happened in our family,” shouted Sam. “I bet you your magic accessory is waiting for you right in the middle of that tornado!”

“How the heck am I supposed to get it?” shouted Max.

“We just finished learning about tornados in my science class. They have a still centre. So somehow, we have to get through the outside part of the funnel into the centre.”

“Got any wind spells?” Max asked.

“Let me check my book,” said Sam as he pulled his book out of his backpack. The pages were blowing wildly as he searched for a wind spell. He found one, but next to it was a caution box. It said that the spell could be very dangerous for new wizards. He looked for another spell, and then he found one he thought was safer. He showed it to Max, who quickly memorized it.

Max closed his eyes and tried to feel the power of the wind as he said,

“ Wind, wind, lift us up and drop us down,

Do it quick without a sound.”

Max and Sam were lifted up by a gust of wind. Up, up they went, right to the top of the tornado. They were holding on tightly to each other. They landed in the centre of the tornado. Just like Sam said it would be, it was still—so still it felt eerie, like they were the only ones on earth.

Max saw something whipping by him in the tornado. It was black. As he looked closer, he realized it was a cape swirling around him. Sam must have seen it too, as he gave Max the spell to command the cape toward him. Max reached out with his wand and commanded the cape,

“Magic cape, you belong to me,

Leave the tornado and set yourself free.”

Somehow the stillness of being in the centre of the tornado was creating a stillness inside of him. He felt calm and powerful. The cape whirled out of the tornado and wrapped itself around him. It was a perfect fit.

“Let’s get out of here. Try the ‘lift me up’ spell again,” Sam said.

Max tried the spell, and it worked—but only for him! He and Sam weren’t holding on to each other this time. Sam was stuck inside the tornado. Think, think, Max told himself. He decided to try the spell again to get back inside the tornado, and then he could hold on to Sam this time to get them both out.
