loud booming thunder was heard shortly after. Before these junior wizards knew what happened, “ka-boom”, their crystal ball cracked and broke into tiny pieces.
    “That will teach you to spy on me, you fools!” Kostara scolded. The evil wizard hobbled back to his cave, with the last of the ingredient for the ‘Hell Fire’ spell in his hand. This magic spell required at least one week of intense practice before it could be mastered by ordinary calibre wizard. However, Kostara was an expert practitioner in magic and this rule of thumb did not apply to him. He mastered the ‘Hell Fire’ spell in one day! At this moment, he was thinking of improving on this evil 'Hell Fire' spell.
    "Let me think. Maybe I should add some more ingredients to increase the evil power. Ha! cat's eyes!" Kostara mumbled. Looking at one corner of his dim cave, he saw the black cat crouched neatly and gazing up at him with shining green eyes.
    "Hello, kitty, hello, hello, come here..." Kostara stretched out his hand and tempted the feline. He got up from his table and started to walk towards the cat. When this cat saw Kostara coming at it, it sprang to its feet and dashed out of the cave in split second.
    "Drats! Now I have to think of something else," Kostara cursed.
    On planet Fontasia, just when the last fireworks subsided, the bright moon began to take on a reddish hue gradually The general festive mood had changed to one of fear and apprehension. “Oh! look at that…”, “blood moon”, “bad omen” came from the crowd. When the moon turned completely red, a huge, blazing ball of reddish yellow fire formed next to it. Slowly, the image of Kostara was seen within this ball of fire in the sky. It was a colossus image equal to the size of ten Mount Everests put together. Kostara with his dark, bushy eyebrows and pointed nose and pointed chin, looked more evil now than it ever could besides the full red moon. Some Fontasians screamed while others trembled in fear.
    “Fontasians, I have come back for my revenge. Where is the sea nymph? Prepare to meet your doom, all of you!” Kostara threatened.
    “What audacity! Military supreme commander, extinguish this Evil!” The Overlord commanded.
    “Your wish is my command. All Magical Orders, prepare for battle!” Zorak issued new military order.
    All at once, three war generals enveloped in shimmering globes of yellow, orange and green lights flew up into the sky and headed for the Epsilon Phoenix statue. When they approached the phoenix statue, they slowed down and descended slowly above the torch columns and took up positions above the burning fire! Zorak descended on the last torch column enveloped in a sphere of red light above the torch fire.
    “I will burn you alive with hell-fire!” Kostara flaunted his power. Having said that, the wizard extended his right hand and suddenly hundreds, maybe thousands of fire-balls formed in the nightsky, each measuring on average two metres in diameter. With a mighty sweep of his hand, Kostara directed these fire-balls towards planet Fontasia. Burning fire-balls came raining down on this planet.
    “Fire-balls!” the Grand Advisor shouted.
    Floating above a burning torch fire in a red magic globe, Zorak stretched out both of his hands and worked his magic. Sparks began to radiate back and forth between his two hands. Before long, Zorak conjured up a transparent pyramid between his hands. This pyramid floated higher up into the sky and remained motionless above the epicentre of the torch columns. This pyramid grew until it was many times larger than its original size. Zorak and his war-generals all lifted up their hands and began transferring their magic powers to the pyramid. Electrical charges were seen radiating from the war generals’ hands to the pyramid, which began to glow and spin high in the sky.
    “Water shield!” Zorak gave a mighty shout.
    Suddenly, a deep rumbling sound was heard. All the ocean waters from the northern hemisphere of
