Legends say there once was a world not so unlike
our own, but a world where, instead of the mundane,
magic thrives. A world where imagination becomes
possibility. But you might be asking yourself,
what if you wanted to be a part of this world?
Well, dear listeners, you're in luck. Come on
in to the store for witches and wizards. Episode
4, Frenemy. Meanwhile, while Max handles the
store, Rachel and Ember shop for ingredients
to make Ember's wand. Here we are. You sure we'll
find the materials we need here? Trust me, if
you're looking for ingredients or materials,
this is the best place you want to be. Now, let's
get what we need and head right back to the store.
Stay close to me, alright? Yes, ma 'am. Alright,
let's see what we need here. We'll need some
redwood, webs from an ancient forest spider,
a couple of dragon scales, unicorn hair... Hey,
Amber, what's your field of magic again? I specialize
in water and fire magic. Gotcha. So that means
we'll need some seashells too. Should be easy
enough. Let's hope so. Hey, since we're out here,
can I ask you a couple questions? Of course.
What made you want to specialize in elemental
magic? Well, most of my family are fire mages,
but I was always interested in water magic. It's
strange. With fire magic, I feel more in control
of myself, but with water magic, I feel more
expressive. My parents have always been helpful
in my training and are always there to support
me. That's sweet. Any interest in other magic?
I'm thinking about learning lightning magic.
Water and lightning? Nice combo. What do you
use to conjure magic? I mostly use my broomstick.
It's surprisingly effective. It's good to have
a nice broomstick with you. And would you look
at that? They have some perfectly fine redwood
over there. Can you be a dear and hold this for
me? Sure. I'll be right back. Wow, this is a
very thought -out shopping list. Huh? She wrote
something else on here. Important notes. Get
Sebastian some candy, watch the new stage play
with Mr. Erland, and attend Freya's wedding.
That's cute. I'm back. Did anything interesting
happen? Not at all. Everything's quiet over here.
You didn't look through my notes, did you? Me?
No, never. Why would I do such a thing? Thank
goodness. Otherwise I would have had to turn
you into a frog. That's a good joke, ma 'am.
Who said I was joking? Well? I'm just messing
with you, Amber. But seriously, don't read my
stuff. Yes, ma 'am. Anyway, I got some redwood.
Let's keep looking for the rest. Right. Is that
everything, Rachel? Most, but not quite. We still
need to find some seashells, but once we do,
we'll be set. Thank goodness. I thought this
was going to take all day. That's why this market
is the best. The sooner we get those seashells,
the sooner we get to go back to the store. I
just hope Max is doing alright. You really care
about them, don't you? They're a good kid, and
I want their first day on the job to be a good
one. You know? I think I understand. Anyway,
let's keep looking for those seashells. They
should be around here somewhere. Rachel. Did
you hear something? What do you mean? I thought
I heard someone calling me. Rachel. Wait a minute.
I know that voice. It's me. Oh no. What's wrong?
We need to leave. What? Why? No time to explain.
We need to leave before she catches up to us.
There should be an exit somewhere through...
Rachel! Son of a... Morgan! Hey, you're here.
I certainly am, in all my fabulous glory. Alright,
fabulous. And who is this? My name is Ember.
Pleasure to meet you, ma 'am. You're polite,
cute, but there's no need for formalities, my
dear. Okay. Tell me, are you Rachel's new apprentice?
No. That's a relief. In here I thought you were
going soft, Rachel. I kid, I kid. Blimey. Excuse
me, ma 'am, but who are you exactly? I'm Hurt.
How do you not know who I am? Do you not recognize
me? Well, I... I kid, I kid. If you must know,
I am Morgan Frey II. Powerful witch, mistress
of sorcery, and an absolute icon. I see. It's
alright if you want an autograph, dear. It's
completely natural. Everyone falls for me at
some point. That's nice to know. Are you from
the academy? Yes. I knew it. I wanted you to
know that I'll be visiting the academy soon to
give a presentation. That's nice. I know. It'll
be great. And all will inspire by my wisdom.
I can't wait. Alright, that's enough. What are
you doing here, Morgan? Me? I thought I would
stroll down to the market, maybe look for some
gems. Imagine my surprise to find my old friend.
How have you been, darling? It's been so long
since we last saw each other. Not long enough.
Don't be like that, Rachel. We've been friends
for ages. We're practically sisters. Remember
the time you, me, and Freya tricked a lord into
thinking he was going to be king one day? That
was hilarious. Is that true? That was a very
long time ago. I remember like it was yesterday.
It's a bit of a shame, though. He took the visions
too seriously and ended up killing his own king.
He what? Oh, yes. I think they're making a play
about it. Well, it's been nice, but I think we're
good here. Let's go, Amber. What? Seriously?
Sorry, but we're busy. Busy with what? I don't
have to tell you. What? Are you on some kind
of errand? I guess. Amber. Sorry, I don't want
to be rude. I knew it. Let me guess. You're trying
to make a wand, but you're out of materials.
Am I right? What are you, psychic? Call it intuition.
Sure, whatever. Ember? Yes? Do you like waterfalls?
Yes, actually. I like them a lot. As do I. They're
quite beautiful and a natural wonder. Quite so.
And they're very relaxing to be around. They
are, aren't they? Where is this going, Morgan?
It's nothing, Rachel. I just think waterfalls
are nice, and are also great places to train
if you're a water mage. Wouldn't you agree, Amber?
Oh, no. Oh, no? Oh, yes. You're looking for seashells,
aren't you? Well, you're in luck, because I have
some seashells on me, and I'm willing to give
them to you. And why would we waste our time
with you? Because these are the only seashells
here, and I bought them all. And I doubt you
will find any others in this market. You're bluffing.
No, she's not. What? How can you tell? For better
or worse, I know her. And I know when she's bluffing
or not. Thank you, Rachel. That being said, you
planned this from the start, didn't you? Perhaps.
What do you want? Whatever do you mean? I doubt
you're giving us those seashells for free. So,
what do you want? A duel. A duel? Oh, yes. You
and me in a one -on -one duel. Wands only. If
you win, I'll give you the seashells. But if
I win, it will finally determine that I, Morgan
Frey II, am truly the best witch in the world
and your superior. She's crazy. Yep. Alright,
I accept. Let's get this over with. Perfect.
Let's set the stage. The rules are simple. We...
Yeah, yeah. The circle acts as a barrier. Whoever
steps out of the circle instantly loses, and
we can't go too crazy with spells. Can we start
now? You're no fun. Fine. Let's fight. Go, Rachel!
Not bad. And here I thought being a humble store
owner made you soft. And here I thought this
was a duel. So shut up and fight. Ah! I got you
now. The victory will soon be mine. Ah! Tara.
Huh? Ah! Ow! Check and mate. That was amazing,
Rachel. No! No, no, no. This wasn't supposed
to happen. Victory was mine. I was finally going
to win. Never mind. I lost fair and square. Here
you go. Finally. That should be everything. Does
that mean I get to make my wand? Sure does. Yes!
Rachel. What? Don't think I won't take this lying
down. I swear, as your rival, I will beat you
one day. I'm counting on it. And Rachel? Yeah?
It was nice seeing you again. Likewise. Let's
go, Amber. This should be a good place to start.
Pardon me, why are we stopping and why are we
at the waterfall? Well, it's not a waterfall,
but it helps. Can you hand me some of the materials?
Sure. Good. Now just follow my lead. There we
are. And here's your wand, Ember. Wow, I can't
believe it. It's so beautiful. Thank you, Rachel.
This means everything to me. I cannot thank you
enough. I'm happy to help. Anyway, I think it's
time to head back to the store. Wanna come? Yes,
of course. Then let's go. I hope Max and Sebastian
are doing alright. That was... Jennifer Crockett
as Rachel, Rachel Carter -Brown as Morgan, and
Savannah Lewandowski as Ember. This episode for
