Looking up toward the sound of a familiar voice, Paxton smiled with a glint in his eyes. She had returned! This was spectacular! Now he could show her all sorts of magic and prove that they can stop the fog!

Pushing himself from the ground and brushing the sand from his clothing, Paxton walked over to Flora and held out his wand, clutching it awkwardly by the hilt.

"I told you! Shall I cast a spell?" Paxton said with a hushed tone as he leaned in close to Flora's ear, "We have to be careful because I'm not actually allowed," He then moved back and returned to his normal volume, "But it will be okay. Father can't stop me. Ghosts can't hold wands!"
