Lance unlocked the door to his dorm room. it was made of stone and with two windows, two beds with bedside tables, two wardrobes, a table with four chairs and in a small separate room was the bathroom. He placed his bags on the bed to the left. He figured he’d unpack tonight and wanted to explore more of the academy. He closed the door to his room and locked it before exiting the dorm.  With map in hand he began to explore the academy. 

Lance examined the map before he looked up and stopped dead in his tracks. It was no secret to both his family and friends that Lance was deathly scared of spiders. The one on the stone side walk a few feet in front of him had to be almost the size of his hand. His heart raced as he looked at it and in most instances someone who feared these types of creatures would simply avoid it. Lance on the other had feared them so much he would go out of his way to annihilate them when he saw them.  Lance slowly reached at his belt that had loops in it that held the test tubs which held his chemicals. The one he pulled out had a red liquid in it and a cork on the top. His chemicals reacted to both a sudden impact and the air mixing with them.one without the other made his chemicals useless. The chemical he grabbed was what he called his explosion chemical. It would create a massive fireball explosion that would burn who or whatever got caught in it. 

“Burn in hell!” Lance yelled as he tossed the test tube at the spider. It hit the ground and shattered before an explosion erupted from where the test tube broke.  When the smoke cleared, there was a scorched mark on the stone walk way and the spider was completely eradicated. Lance wasn’t one to over react but when it came to spiders, he’d much rather make sure they where dead then take the chance of it actually coming after him. in retrospect if Lance just walked towards it, the spider would have run away. However, Lance didn’t believe spiders where more scared of him then he was of them.

“Ok, that was close,” Lance said as he breathed a sigh of relief.
