??? ????? ? ?? : ??? | Witches in the Isles

Max was putting on his boots because he was going to go to the convention with his friends. He fixed his hair and dusted off his pants then he looked in the mirror and saw his yellow sleeves. Max takes a deep breath. He closes his eyes and snaps his fingers while spinning. He opened them to see they were still yellow. Max groaned and continued to snap his fingers. While doing that, Logan just walked into his room holding a potion bottle.

"Maximus, have you..." He trailed off looking at his brother, looking at his mirror, and snapping his fingers. "What are you doing?" Max let out a squeal and turned around to his brother. "Dude, Knock first!" Max yelled. He looked back at the mirror and got an idea. "Wait!" He rushed over to his brother and grabbed his wrist. "Can you snap your fingers?" Max asked. Logan stared at him in confusion. Wondering why Max needed him to snap his fingers. "Why—" Max immediately cut him off and shushed him. "No questions asked! Just do it!" He demanded. "Please...?" He clasped his hands together, looking up at his brother with puppy dog eyes.

Logan rolled his eyes and snapped. Max twirled and his yellow sleeves turned orange. Logan's eyes widened in shock. "What the—" Max ran across his bedroom over to grab his travel bag. "Thanks, Logan! See you later!" He shouts while running out of his room. Logan tries to get a word in, but he sees his brother leave the house. "MAXIMUS!" Logan shouts as he marches out the door to catch up to him.

Meanwhile, Max was meeting his friends at the witch coven convention. He stopped running and took out his inhaler from the bag. He taps on it and an eye opens. "Can I....*wheeze* have some air *gasp* please?" He asked between breaths. The eye blinked twice for yes and Max put the air away in his mouth and the inhaler pumped some air by itself. Max took a deep breath and gave the inhaler a treat. "Thank you." He smiled. He looked into the distance and his friends with the owl lady with them, with her cowl over her head. Max then started running towards them with a bright smile. "Maximus!" Logan yelled out and started to run after his brother.

"Guys!" Max waved over to them. The three turned and waved to their friend with bright smiles. "Max!" Luz beamed. "Hi, Max!" Willow waved. "You made it!" Gus cheered. Max smiled and waved to his friends, but tripped on his foot and fell face-first into the floor.

His friends Ooos and winced while Eda peaked from her hood and laughed hysterically. "Eda, that's not funny!" Luz scolded her mentor.

Max picked himself up and spit out some dirt that had gotten into his mouth. He continued to walk towards his friends and continued to run. He then stopped in front of the three panting again. "Hi!" He smiled. "Are you okay?" Gus asked. "That was a nasty fall." He said. "Great! Just...*gasp* excites!" He replied. The three stared at him with a worried face seeing him out of breath like this. "This is normal. *wheeze*" He reassured them.

"Let's just get this over with," Eda told the kids as she went inside first.

Logan was following Max and saw him enter the convention building. Logan glared and started walking towards the building

The kids went inside and Luz was amazed at what she saw inside the convention. "Whoa. Was I even alive before now..?" She asked herself. There were nine colorful banners of witches' covens and witches flying in their staffs with other coven stands on the ground. "Those are the main nine covens, but there are hundreds of other ones you can join," Gus explained as they started to walk into the convention. Luz's and Willow's arms are linked together. "There's Flower Coven, Artist Coven, Big Dog Coven, Small Cat Coven, Tiniest Cat Coven..." Eda groans loudly. "Also the Grumpy Coven," Willow whispered to Luz. Max and Gus giggled at Willow's comment. "What was that?" Eda raised her fist as the warning and the four kids quickly ran off. Before Eda got angry. "Uh, excuse me, ma'am, but you look rather familiar." A man said as he approached Eda. He then looked at her and wanted a poster on the pillar. "Uh... No, I don't. Distraction spell!" Eda threw down a bag of trail mix and ran off. The man looked at the snack and tried to pick it up, but Eda came back and pulled on his hood, took the snack, and quickly ran off.
