Kit Cat 6 - Kit Cat and The Spell Of Spells

One day Kit Kat was in the forest when he saw a man in a wizards garb lying on the ground, face down, as if he had collapsed.
"Are you alright sir?", asked Kit Kat, bending down to look at him more closely, "Do you need help?".
He heard the man groan.
Then rolling the man over onto his back and placing his rolled up coat beneath the mans head, he asked him again.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?".
The man slowly opened his eyes and looked up at kit-cat then, wearily, said;
"No. I'm alright. I just haven't slept for three days or eaten anything but air".
"Not slept or eaten", asked Kit-Cat, concerned, "But why, for Fairies sake?".
"The Spell of Spells", replied the man.
"Spell of what?", asked Kit-Cat, scratching his head with a cats claw, confused.
But then the man shot to his feet like an old broken clock work toy finding some power from somewhere and with a near mad look in his old grey eyes said,
"The Spell of Spells. The Ultimate Spell that would unite all magic. Oh I've been trying to work it out for months and months until, seeing magic symbols dancing before my eyes like fairies, I became mad with it. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do anything but ponder upon it day and night and then finally, thinking that my head would crack like an egg and a dozen cuckoos come flying out, I ran to the most tranquil place I could think of; the enchanted forest where I grew up but then I, well I'm afraid I collapsed where you found me".
"Well you obviously need rest", said Kit-Cat, laying a paw upon the mans shoulder, "Why don't you come home with me and rest in my bed and I'll make you a nice warm bowl of broth. Thats always good when you're feeling run down".
And so Kit-Cat led the Wizard back to his house deep in the enchanted forest and there the wizard lay down upon Kit-Cats old wooden bed and it wasn't long before he heard the old man begin to snore.
"Poor old man", thought Kit-Cat, "He must have really needed sleep badly. I usually have to count mice but he fell off like a log".
But then Kit-Cat went back out into the Enchanted forest to collect some ingredients to make broth.
"I'll need some wild garlic and rosemary and thyme and bay leaves", he thought to himself as he walked through the forest to the place where he knew the best herbs grew.
As he was approaching that spot however, much to astonishment, the tree infront of him suddenly burst into flame and then, looking around for an answer as to why he saw hundreds of little elf soldiers running through the forest wearing bright red uniforms and carrying magic wands shaped like rifles from which they were firing bright hot beams of red magic and there were little elves, like clockwork drummers, banging tin war drums too and even elf cavalrymen on tiny fairy horses.
But then they started to fire at him and one of their beams of magic just missing his head sent his three cornered hat spinning like a propeller and might have set it alight just like the tree if he had not turned and ran as fast as his four paws could carry him.
But then, as he was running from the army of red coated elves, to his dismay, he ran into an army of blue coated elves coming the other way and they too were armed with magic rifles.
"Its a giant", said an elf general, leading the army, "The red elves have sent a giant against us. Quick men fire a freezing spell at it".
Then before Kit-Cat could explain that he wasn't a giant and he hadn't been sent by the red elves suddenly the blue elf army fired blue rays of magic at him that made him freeze like ice and, because frozen he couldn't stand up, suddenly Kit-Cat fell down upon the ground then as he lay helpless upon his back he felt himself surrounded by blue elves who started to lift him.
"Well take him back to blue elf headquarters", said the general of the blue elves, "Perhaps we can convince him to work for us".
Then, as quickly as a hundred tiny elf legs can run, Kit-Cat felt himself being carried back to the kingdom of the blue elves in the north of the enchanted forest.
When they finally arrived there however they placed a large glowing blue collar around Kit-Cats neck and then, when the blue elf general released Kit-Cat from the freezing spell that they had put him under, he said,
"Now, Giant. You might aswell co-operate because that is a magical collar that will make you freeze again if you ever try to run away, understand".
"But you've got it wrong, blue elf general sir", Kit Cat tried to explain, "I'm not fighting for the red elves. Infact I have nothing to do with your war. I do not even like war. I think its one of the lunacies of this world".
But the blue elf general wouldn't listen,
"Nonsense", he said, "You tried to attack the blue elf army. You are some diabolical weapon of the reds. Well, now you will work for us or else you will be frozen for ever".
Kit-Cat did not like the sound of that since he had already experienced how bad being frozen could be so he agreed to do what the elf general said, hoping that might find a way of escaping later.
But then the blue elf general called his army together and, with Kit Cat infront of them they marched southward again to face the army of the red elves.
When they reached the red elf kingdom however, Kit Cat saw the red elves comeout onto the battlements of their red fortress and start firing cannons of blazing red magic towards him, shouting,
"Kill it! Kill the giant that the blue elves have sent to destroy us!".
"Oh no", thought Kit-Cat, "If I don't get frozen by the blue elves then I'll be burned to cinders by the cannons of the red ones".
And then, from behind him, Kit-Cat heard the blue elf general shouting at him,
"Well. What are you waiting for giant? KIll them! Kill the red elves".
"Kill?", asked Kit-Cat startled, "But I don't want to kill anyone. I would never kill unless it was in defence of my life or the life of someone else".
"Would you rather be frozen forever?", asked the blue elf general.
Kit-Cat put his head in his paws, panic stricken. He just didn't know what to do.
Thankfully, however, just at that moment there was a brilliant flash of light and suddenly, beside him Kit-Cat saw the wizard appear who he had helped earlier that day.
"Oh, thank goodness I've found you", he said to kit-cat, "I wanted to tell you that the sleep I had in your old bed did me the world of good. I even managed to work out the spell I'd been working on. Oh, I don't know how I can thank you".
"Well you could start by freeing me from this collar", said Kit Cat pointing to the magic collar that the blue elves had put on him.
"Oh that", said the wizard with a chuckle, pointing a finger at the collar, "Thats easy".
And then, in the next instant, Kit-Cat saw a bolt of magical lightning leap from the wizards outstretched finger and, as it struck the blue collar, suddenly the collar vanished from round his neck.
But then both the elf armies, terrified of the wizard started to fire up at him with their guns and cannons, shooting beams of both red fire and blue ice.
"A magic giant!", Kit-Cat heard from armies on either side, "Sent by the enemy to destroy us. Kill it before it kills us!".
"I'm sorry", said Kit-Cat to the wizard as he saw him shielding his face from the barrage of magical beams, "I don't even know what they're fighting about".
"Thats alright", said the wizard, pointing an outstretched finger at both elf armies, "It'll give me a chance to test my new spell, "The spell of spells". Its an all purpose spell that, just like a fairies wish can make anything happen".
"Well then I wish you would stop this elf war and bring peace between these two elf nations", said Kit Cat.
"So be it", said the wizard and, closing his eyes as if he was focussing his mind, the wizard started to repeat a spell from memory.
"Omnigoramatumatinamara", he said,"-matoramorazamizumanoma".
And as he recited the spell suddenly, not only did lightning burst from his fingertips striking the two elf armies and enfolding them in a glow of enchantment but the wizards entire body became a thing of light and fire and lightning, such was the enormous power of his spell.
And when the magic thunderbolts struck the two armies suddenly the colours of their uniforms started to magically change so that now, rather than red and blue, both armies became green elves.
And when the elves all changed to green the fire of hate within their eyes started to die aswell,replaced by the glow of love  and, rather than shooting at each other, the two armies laid down their weapons and rushed towards each other with open arms of friendship and peace.
"Well thank goodness thats all over", said Kit Cat smiling as, looking down, he saw the two enemy nations becoming friends.
But then the wizard, using his new spell transported them both back to Kit-Cats house and, conjuring up the ingredients that kit cat needed to make it, then they both celebrated peace between the two elf kingdoms by having some of Kit-Cats marvellous broth.
